| Metabolic risk factors linked to erosive oesophagitis Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Metabolic risk factors, particularly obesity and high levels of blood fats called triglycerides, are significantly associated with an increased risk of erosive oesophagitis, researchers have found. |
| Walk test predicts mortality risk in African–American heart failure patients Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT A simple 6-minute walk test can reliably predict the risk of death and re-hospitalisation among African–American patients with heart failure, helping to identify patients who would benefit from intensified treatment, say US researchers. |
| Flu vaccination may not prevent hospitalization in children with asthma Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Flu vaccination does not appear to prevent flu-related hospital admissions in children, particularly those with asthma, research suggests. |
| African-American women often refuse important breast cancer treatments Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Around one in four African-American women with late stage breast cancer refuse potentially life-saving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, researchers have found. |
| Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Venous thromboembolism is linked to elevated glucose levels at time of presentation, say Dutch researchers who believe there may be a causal relationship between the two factors. |
| Early DWI infarct volume growth predicts poor functional outcome in stroke Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT A significant increase in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging infarct volume in the first 5 days after stroke significantly reduces the likelihood of achieving an excellent functional outcome at 3 months, US researchers report. |
| Prostate biopsy TMAs aid early prostate cancer assessment Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Tissue microarrays constructed from prostate needle biopsies can be used to assess localized prostate cancer under active surveillance, say UK scientists who found that Ki-67 may reveal early cancer behavior. |
| Prostate biopsy TMAs aid early prostate cancer assessment Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Tissue microarrays constructed from prostate needle biopsies can be used to assess localized prostate cancer under active surveillance, say UK scientists who found that Ki-67 may reveal early cancer behavior. |
| HRQoL scales inadequate for breast reconstruction patients Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Surgeons lack a sensitive tool for determining health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction, study findings suggest. |
| Breast surgery quality markers identified Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have identified characteristics that could help improve the quality of breast cancer surgery. |
| Walnut consumption significantly lowers total and LDL cholesterol Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from a systematic review and meta-analysis show that consumption of a walnut-rich diet leads to significant improvements in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. |
| ANGPTL4 may promote use of triglycerides stored in adipose tissue Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Levels of the novel endocrine factor angiopoietin-like protein 4 are increased by fasting, caloric restriction, and exercise, show results obtained using a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. |
| Experts highlight challenges to addressing the growing diabetes problem Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Improving communication and education among patients and healthcare providers could be key to addressing some of the challenges to caring for diabetes patients, specialists in diabetes medicine highlighted at a 1-day conference held by the Royal Society of Medicine in conjunction with the Federation of European Nurses in Diabetes. |
| Intensive glucose control reduces CHD events for Type 2 diabetics Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Meta-analysis results published in The Lancet show that intensive glucose control in patients with Type 2 diabetes significantly reduces nonfatal myocardial infarction and other coronary heart disease related events compared with standard glucose control, with no effect on all-cause mortality. |
| Type 2 family history, obesity increase insulin secretion role in IGT Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Impaired insulin secretion is the major defect in people with impaired glucose tolerance and a family history of Type 2 diabetes, whereas insulin resistance plays the major role in those without a family history, researchers report. |
| Treadmill EE may predict events in patients with normal exercise ECG Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Exercise echocardiography could help predict the long-term risk for death and major adverse cardiac events among patients with a normal exercise electrocardiogram result, study findings suggest. |
| Intensive glucose control reduces CHD events for Type 2 diabetics Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Meta-analysis results published in The Lancet show that intensive glucose control in patients with Type 2 diabetes significantly reduces nonfatal myocardial infarction and other coronary heart disease related events compared with standard glucose control, with no effect on all-cause mortality. |
| Door-to-balloon delays increase mortality even within 90-minute window Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Any delay in door-to-balloon time among patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction is associated with increased mortality, researchers have found. |
| HRQoL scales inadequate for breast reconstruction patients Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT Surgeons lack a sensitive tool for determining health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction, study findings suggest. |
| Breast surgery quality markers identified Posted: 21 May 2009 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have identified characteristics that could help improve the quality of breast cancer surgery. |
