A Look at the Cadillac Sixteen This past month I was finally able to get a first hand view of a fabulous looking concept car called the Cadillac Sixteen at the North Carolina International Automobile Show. As concepts go, the Sixteen is truly a radical looking, but thoroughly luxurious sedan that serves as a reminder of Cadillac's past glory while incorporating a forward-looking 21st century style.

Many of these children will need obesity treatment - they are beyond the stage where "prevention" is likely to help.So do obesity interventions for kids actually work?This was the topic of a Cochrane review by Oude Luttikhuis and colleagues from the University of Groningen published earlier this year.The authors analyzed all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of lifestyle (i.e. dietary, physical activity and/or behavioral therapy), drug and surgical interventions for treating obesity in children (mean age under 18 years) with or without the support of family members, with a minimum of six months follow up (three months for actual drug therapy).The final analysis included 64 RCTs (5230 participants). The studies included varied greatly in intervention design, outcome measurements and methodological quality (the surgical studies were considered to be of too poor quality to include in the analysis).The authors conclude that although there is not enough data to recommend one treatment...more
