ALPHARETTA, GA, October 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) Rodriguez MD, a Lawrenceville clinic and bilingual Lawrenceville family practice in Gwinnett County, GA, opened an onsite Center for Medical Weight Loss on Monday October 3, 2011. Striving to help patients safely and effectively lose weight, Rodriguez MD now offers comprehensive, personalized weight loss programs. This includes:
- Body composition analysis
- Doctor-supervised food plans
- Metabolism regulation
- Appetite management
- Lifestyle and motivational coaching
- Science-based activity recommendations
Medical weight loss is physician-directed weight management based on medical scientific principles. It targets the root causes of obesity and weight gain to achieve and sustain a healthy long-term weight. Unlike many commercial programs, the Lawrenceville GA doctors at Rodriguez MD use metabolism and body composition (mainly fat percentage) as true indicators of their patient's weight loss progress. Plus, they can also provide safe, low-calorie diets that are specifically designed to help the patient lose weight while breaking the cycle of food addiction.
"At Rodriguez MD, a Center for Medical Weight Loss, our physicians view weight loss and maintenance within the context of the patients' total health profile," explains Neville Street, the practice's Administrative Director. Street continues on to say, "If the patient has a condition that is interfering with their weight loss efforts, our Lawrenceville doctors can prescribe needed medications or advise on other alternatives to lift those barriers." Located in suite 250 at Terrace Park Medical Center on 771 Old Norcross Rd, Rodriguez MD's patients are sure to enjoy a level of care that surpasses other Gwinnett family practices.
In addition to medical weight loss, the skilled and dedicated Gwinnett doctors at Rodriguez MD offer a full range of high-quality services, all on-site. Rodriguez MD provides a variety of diagnostic and treatment options and work closely with each patient in order to determine the best course of care.

Brain imaging reveals why we remain optimistic in the face of reality
2011-10-10
For some people, the glass is always half full. Even when a football fan's team has lost ten matches in a row, he might still be convinced his team can reverse its run of bad luck. So why, in the face of clear evidence to suggest to the contrary, do some people remain so optimistic about the future?
In a study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London) show that people who are very optimistic about the outcome of events tend to learn only from information that reinforces their rose-tinted ...
New membrane lipid measuring technique may help fight disease
2011-10-10
Could controlling cell-membrane fat play a key role in turning off disease?
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago think so, and a biosensor they've created that measures membrane lipid levels may open up new pathways to disease treatment.
Wonhwa Cho, distinguished professor of chemistry, and his coworkers engineered a way to modify proteins to fluoresce and act as sensors for lipid levels.
Their findings are reported in Nature Chemistry, online on Oct. 9.
"Lipid molecules on cell membranes can act as switches that turn on or off protein-protein interactions ...
Behind on Paying Your Tax Debt? Let Blue Tax Get Behind You to Find a Resolution
2011-10-10
Often, in this economy, it is easy to get behind. You know you owe taxes to the IRS, but every day bills and financial obligations begin to take priority in order to maintain a reasonable standard of living.
This is the situation Michael (Tecumseh, Kansas) found himself in when he called the offices of Blue Tax in desperation looking for some guidance on how to get the IRS to cease sending him threatening letters about levies and garnishments, knowing that he owed back taxes.
Michael's goal in retaining Blue Tax's services was to protect him from possible collection ...
Novel technique uses RNA interference to block inflammation
2011-10-10
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers – along with collaborators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals – have found a way to block, in an animal model, the damaging inflammation that contributes to many disease conditions. In their report receiving early online publication in Nature Biotechnology, the investigators describe using small interfering RNA technology to silence the biochemical signals that attract a particular group of inflammatory cells to areas of tissue damage.
"The white blood cells known as monocytes ...
Smarter toxins help crops fight resistant pests
2011-10-10
One of the most successful strategies in pest control is to endow crop plants with genes from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt for short, which code for proteins that kill pests attempting to eat them.
But insect pests are evolving resistance to Bt toxins, which threatens the continued success of this approach. In the current issue of Nature Biotechnology, a research team led by UA Professor Bruce Tabashnik reports the discovery that a small modification of the toxins' structure overcomes the defenses of some major pests that are resistant to the natural, ...

Scientists discover 3 new gene faults which could increase melanoma risk by 30 percent
2011-10-10
An international team of researchers has discovered the first DNA faults linked to melanoma - the deadliest skin cancer - that are not related to hair, skin or eye colour.
Cancer Research UK scientists at the University of Leeds, together with a team from the GenoMEL consortium*, scanned the genes in blood samples from almost 3000 Europeans with melanoma, and compared these with samples taken from the general population.
Their findings are published in Nature Genetics today.**
Known risk factors for melanoma include fair skin, blue or green eyes, blond or red hair, ...
Graphene's 'Big Mac' creates next generation of chips
2011-10-10
The world's thinnest, strongest and most conductive material, discovered in 2004 at the University of Manchester by Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov, has the potential to revolutionize material science.
Demonstrating the remarkable properties of graphene won the two scientists the Nobel Prize for Physics last year and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has just announced plans for a £50m graphene research hub to be set up.
Now, writing in the journal Nature Physics, the University of Manchester team have for the first time demonstrated how graphene ...
Genome-wide studies have identified new genes involved in susceptibility to melanoma
2011-10-10
The genomic analysis technologies enable the study of genetic factors related to numerous diseases. In few areas this researches brought such a big and useful volume of information as in the case of melanoma. A study published in Nature Genetics, promoted by the GenoMEL consortium, consolidates the results obtained in previous whole-genome analysis and identifies three new chromosomal regions implicated in susceptibility to melanoma. The GenoMEL consortium is funded by the European Commission and the National Institutes of Health (USA) to increase the understanding of genetic ...
If you don't snooze, do you lose?
2011-10-10
MADISON – An ongoing lack of sleep during adolescence could lead to more than dragging, foggy teens, a University of Wisconsin-Madison study suggests.
Researchers have found that short-term sleep restriction in adolescent mice prevented the balanced growth and depletion of brain synapses, connections between nerve cells where communication occurs.
"One possible implication of our study is that if you lose too much sleep during adolescence, especially chronically, there may be lasting consequences in terms of the wiring of the brain," says Dr. Chiara Cirelli, associate ...
