Dr. Miriam Bredella, a radiologist at Mass General, presented findings that reversed earlier ideas about risk factors for osteoporosis.
Many physicians have believed for years that obese women had a lower risk of developing osteoporosis, the Radiological Society of North America said in a press release earlier this week. But a study authored by a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital has called that long-held belief into question. Dr. Miriam Bredella's study found that having too much internal abdominal fat may have a damaging effect on bones. "We know that obesity is a major public health problem," said Bredella. "Now we know that abdominal obesity needs to be included as a risk factor for osteoporosis and bone loss." Dr. Bredella, who is also an assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School, and her colleagues set out to evaluate all …

Towards the end of Charles St., you'll find the café that's been there the longer than any of the others. Sixteen years may not seem like much, but for retail businesses in Boston's competitive market, it's like dog years. Inspired by his post-collegiate tour of Europe, owner Chris Spagnuolo has created Panificio Bistro & Bakery, a place vaguely reminiscent of an English pub with its deep wood décor but with a menu that bears the mark of Italian and German influences. The clientele is neighborhood-y but also draws from the nearby Massachusetts General Hospital. "People come here to get their wives who just gave birth food and bring it back over there," chuckles Spagnuolo. After surveying the display cases, we quickly tuck to the tiramisu…
