| PFO repair may increase stroke risk Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Repair of incidentally discovered patent foramen ovale during cardiothoracic surgery could increase the likelihood for postoperative stroke, US researchers report. |
| Integrated management program improves QoL for COPD patients Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT An integrated disease management program is more effective than usual care for improving the quality of life of primary care patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, researchers report. |
| Untreated asthma linked to reduced fitness and increased weight in children Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Children with untreated asthma tend to be less fit and are more likely to be overweight than children without the respiratory condition, Danish research shows. |
| Physiological variables infrequently recorded in acute OPD patients Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Many relevant physiological variables are infrequently recorded in patients presenting acutely to hospital with obstructive pulmonary diseases and pneumonia, results of a Norwegian study show. |
| Gene variants linked to both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Variations in the D-amino acid oxidase activator gene are linked to the development of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, although they account for only a part of genetic susceptibility, UK study findings suggest. |
| Diabetes and schizophrenia gene link search continues Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT The search for a genetic basis in the association between diabetes and schizophrenia continues after UK scientists found no evidence to link the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gene to schizophrenia. |
| Dietary nutrient intake linked to HbA1c status Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Long-term dietary consumption of specific nutrients can influence glycated hemoglobin concentrations and may raise the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, epidemiologic data suggest. |
| Late donor cardiectomy performed after heterotopic transplantation Posted: 15 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT A team of UK cardiologists have successfully removed the donor heart from a pediatric patient who 10 years previously underwent a heterotopic transplantation for advanced cardiomyopathy. |
| Better outcomes after salvage prostate surgery than cryotherapy Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Young patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy should undergo salvage radical prostatectomy, as it offers better outcomes than salvage cryotherapy, conclude US researchers. |
| Biochemical recurrence after prostate surgery ‘not linked to BMI’ Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Body mass index does not predict biochemical recurrence in men with clinically localized prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy, the findings of a Dutch study indicate. |
| Circulating tumor cells predict chemotherapy response in metastatic breast cancer patients Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT In patients with metastatic breast cancer, the level of circulating tumor cells during therapy can predict outcome better than measuring metabolic response with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography, a study suggests. |
| Pitavastatin comparable to atorvastatin for inducing coronary plaque regression Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from the JAPAN-ACS study show that pitavastatin has a similar beneficial effect on coronary plaque regression to that of atorvastatin in patients with acute coronary syndromes who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. |
| Treatment with GH moderately improves lipids in elderly but increases IR Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with growth hormone leads to moderate improvements in serum lipids in elderly men and women, but increases insulin resistance, report researchers. |
| Low-carb and low-fat diets have similar effects for Type 2 diabetics Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Adhering to a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet for a year induces similar weight loss and has a similar effect on glycemic control for individuals with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers. |
| Treatment with GH moderately improves lipids in elderly but increases IR Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with growth hormone leads to moderate improvements in serum lipids in elderly men and women, but increases insulin resistance, report researchers. |
| Age-related loss of fitness linked to incident diabetes Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT The age-related decline in cardiorespiratory fitness is positively associated with incident Type 2 diabetes, say researchers, with the least fit individuals being at greatest risk for developing the condition over 20 years of follow-up. |
| Low-carb and low-fat diets have similar effects for Type 2 diabetics Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Adhering to a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet for a year induces similar weight loss and has a similar effect on glycemic control for individuals with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers. |
| Cancer risk from routine coronary calcium screening estimated Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have estimated the cancer risks associated with radiation delivered in coronary artery calcification screening using multidetector computed tomography. |
| Optimal level of anticoagulant therapy determined for heart conditions Posted: 14 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with mechanical heart valve prostheses or atrial fibrillation should be treated with oral anticoagulant therapy to an optimal international normalized ratio of 3, results of an observational study suggest. |
