(June 23, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Washington - President Barack Obama has signed a bill that will give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco. The new law gives the FDA regulatory control of tobacco products, but it does not permit the agency to ban all tobacco sales, nor does it allow the FDA to limit nicotine content to zero. However, the law does ban manufacturers from using terms such as "light," and "mild" in its marketing.

From Cleveland - According to research in the Archives of Internal Medicine, sleep disorders can increase the risk of arrhythmia in men. In a study of over 2,900 men aged 65 and older, researchers found that those with the worst sleep disturbances, such as sleep apnea, were more than twice as likely to experience nocturnal atrial fibrillation. This research adds to a growing body of evidence linking sleep disorders and cardiac health.

And finally, from Chicago - According to research in the journal Diabetes Care, those who are not physically fit in their 20s may be at increased risk of developing diabetes by the time they are middle aged. In a study of nearly 4,000 patients, researchers found that twenty-somethings who had the lowest fitness levels according to a treadmill test were two to three times more likely to develop diabetes over a 20-year period. It was also noted that, between two people with similar levels of fitness, the person with the higher BMI is more likely to develop diabetes.
