| Endothelial function normal, arterial stiffness increased in COPD Posted: 30 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exhibit increased arterial stiffness but normal endothelial function, suggesting that abnormalities of the vascular extracellular matrix may be an independent systemic feature of the disease, say researchers. |
| Inflammatory profiles differ in atopic and nonatopic asthma Posted: 30 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Children with atopic asthma have a different inflammatory profile compared with children with nonatopic asthma, research shows. |
| Undiagnosed COPD highly prevalent in Spanish population Posted: 30 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Undiagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is highly prevalent among Spanish adults and is associated with a marked impairment in quality of life, a population-based survey has shown. |
| Structural left temporal lobe changes in schizophrenia related to auditory language anomalies Posted: 30 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that individuals with schizophrenia have structural volume changes in the left temporal lobe that are related to auditory language anomalies early in the course of the illness. |
| <i>PROKR2</i> may play role in pathophysiology of mood disorders Posted: 30 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT The prokineticin 2 receptor gene may play role in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder in the Japanese population, suggest study results. |
| Selenium may worsen prostate cancer in some men Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT High levels of selenium in the blood may worsen prostate cancer in some men who already have the disease, results of a US study suggest. |
| Two eggs a day ‘does not increase cholesterol levels’ Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Eating two eggs a day, as part of an energy-restricted weight-loss diet, does not increase levels of 'bad' or total cholesterol, results of a UK study show. |
| No evidence for US racial disparities in hospital treatment of asthma Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT There are no longer any significant racial/ethnic disparities regarding the inpatient treatment of asthma attacks in the USA, results of a study suggest. |
| Patients with gum disease ‘should be assessed for heart disease’ Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with moderate-to-severe gum disease (periodontitis) should receive evaluation of, and possibly treatment to reduce, their risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, say experts. |
| Effect of screening for VTE related mutations is unknown Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT A systematic literature review has revealed that there is no direct evidence to suggest that testing for genetic risks for venous thromboembolism improves outcomes in adults with VTE or in family members of those with a mutation. |
| Functional ability declines over time in stroke survivors Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT The proportion of patients with functional independence after stroke declines annually for at least 5 years, with the greatest effect observed in patients with state-funded or no health insurance, research shows. |
| Occult tumor cells linked to lobular breast cancer type Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT French researchers have found that the spread of occult tumor cells in small invasive breast cancers may be associated with a lobular histology, but is independent of classical tumor histologic factors. |
| Mammograms being missed after DCIS surgery Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT US researchers highlight the importance of regular mammograms in women treated for dual carcinoma in situ, on finding that many patients fail to undergo follow-up examinations. |
| Benign prostate tissue after surgery ‘not source of biochemical recurrence’ Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with extremely low-risk prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy and retained benign tissue are highly unlikely to have a measurable prostate-specific antigen or biochemical recurrence, US study findings suggest. |
| HO-1 determines atherosclerotic lesion progression into vulnerable plaque Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Heme oxygenase-1 expression defines the progression of an advanced atherosclerotic lesion into a vulnerable plaque, both in human carotid atherosclerotic lesions and in a hyperlipidemic vulnerable plaque mouse model. |
| Low HDL cholesterol increases stroke risk for elderly Type 2 diabetics Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increase the risk for stroke in elderly Type 2 diabetic individuals, show results from the Japan Cholesterol and Diabetes Mellitus Study. |
| Subclinical atherosclerosis can stabilize in diabetic children without specific medication Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Carotid artery intima-media thickness progression in children with Type 1 diabetes need not exceed the physiological increase, German researchers report. |
| Gender influences association between serum CRP and diabetes risk Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT The association between high levels of serum C-reactive protein and increased risk for Type 2 diabetes is stronger in women than in men, a Finnish study finds. |
| Low HDL cholesterol increases stroke risk for elderly Type 2 diabetics Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increase the risk for stroke in elderly Type 2 diabetic individuals, show results from the Japan Cholesterol and Diabetes Mellitus Study. |
| CABG results for Kawasaki cardiac damage ‘excellent’ Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Japanese researchers have reported "excellent" long-term survival for children and adolescents who have undergone coronary bypass surgery after developing Kawasaki disease. |
| Myocardial hemorrhage common after successful MI reperfusion with PCI Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Myocardial hemorrhage may occur in as many as a quarter of patients after successful mechanical reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction, a study indicates. |
