| High ozone levels linked to increased asthma risk Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Children who live in areas with high ozone levels have a higher prevalence of asthma that those who live in areas with low concentrations of the pollutant, research shows. |
| Psoriasis linked to cardiovascular risk Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with the skin disorder psoriasis face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, study findings show. |
| Wealth and race linked to cancer screening rates in UK women Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results of a UK study show that women who undergo breast cancer screening are more likely to own their own house or car than those who do not, while those who undergo cervical screening are more likely to be White and well-educated than those who did not have a smear test. |
| Stomach acid-suppressing drugs linked to hip fracture risk Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Stomach acid-suppressing drugs called proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 receptor antagonists are effective for the treatment of patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and other digestive disorders, but they may be associated with an increased risk of hip fractures, say researchers. |
| Type 2 diabetes is not associated with an increased risk for VTE Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Type 2 diabetes and associated complications are not independent risk factors for incident venous thromboembolism, report researchers in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. |
| Renal disease and abnormal chest X-ray skew D-dimer levels in elderly Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT D-dimer levels are not diagnostic for venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with renal disease and an abnormal chest X-ray, study findings show. |
| Cerebral microbleeds more common in antiplatelet users Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Cerebral microbleeds are more common in people who have used or are using platelet aggregation inhibitors than in people who had never used antithrombotic drugs, a study has shown. |
| Stroke risk increased in psoriasis patients Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with psoriasis, particularly if it is severe, have an increased risk of stroke that is not explained by major stroke risk factors, study findings show. |
| FRIS measures the cutaneous response of psoriatic lesions to treatment Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Fluorescence and remission spectroscopy and imaging is a suitable tool for evaluating the cutaneous response of psoriatic plaques to treatment, say researchers. |
| Green tea ingredients show potential in prostate cancer treatment Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients treated with the bioactive polyphenols in green tea experience reductions in serum levels of prostate-specific antigen and other markers of disease progression, say US scientists. |
| Prostate cancer survival unaffected by BMI Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Body mass index is not associated with prostate cancer-specific survival or overall survival in patients with the disease, concludes a team of US researchers. |
| Online tool predicts breast cancer non-SLN metastases probability Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Research indicates that a three-variable prediction tool widely available on the internet could help doctors assess sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer patients for the likelihood of further disease spread. |
| Green tea ingredients show potential in prostate cancer treatment Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients treated with the bioactive polyphenols in green tea experience reductions in serum levels of prostate-specific antigen and other markers of disease progression, say US scientists. |
| Prostate cancer survival unaffected by BMI Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Body mass index is not associated with prostate cancer-specific survival or overall survival in patients with the disease, concludes a team of US researchers. |
| ‘Idol’ pathway may be new target for future lipid-lowering drugs Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that the sterol-responsive liver X receptor helps to maintain cholesterol homeostasis through promoting cholesterol release and suppressing low-density lipoprotein uptake with the help of the enzyme Idol. |
| Pitavastatin reduces fibrofatty composition and plaque volume more than atorvastatin Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that pitavastatin reduces fibrofatty composition and plaque volume significantly more than atorvastatin, despite similar reductions in low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol. |
| Type 2 diabetes is not associated with an increased risk for VTE Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Type 2 diabetes and associated complications are not independent risk factors for incident venous thromboembolism, report researchers in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. |
| Urinary adiponectin independently predicts vascular events in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Urinary adiponectin excretion in patients with Type 2 diabetes is an independent predictor of vascular damage, potentially identifying an increased risk for vascular events, report researchers in the journal Diabetes. |
| Room for improvement in Romanian AMI hospital care Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Rates of reperfusion therapy are low and in-hospital case-fatality rates high among Romanian patients with acute myocardial infarction, particularly women, conclude Italian and Romanian investigators. |
| U-shaped curve for BMI impact on new-onset heart failure survival Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT There appears to be a U-shaped relationship between body mass index and mortality among patients with new-onset heart failure due to acute coronary syndrome, conclude US investigators. |
| Online tool predicts breast cancer non-SLN metastases probability Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:00 PM PDT Research indicates that a three-variable prediction tool widely available on the internet could help doctors assess sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer patients for the likelihood of further disease spread. |
