| Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura may benefit from immunosuppressive treatment with the therapeutic monoclonal antibody rituximab, US clinicians believe. |
| Low NIHSS on admission does not rule out proximal arterial occlusion Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT A high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score is predictive of a proximal arterial occlusion in patients presenting with acute cerebral ischemia, yet the large majority with such lesions present with low-to-moderate NIHSS scores, research shows. |
| Gene polymorphism linked to prostate cancer incidence and severity Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with polymorphisms in the -173 locus of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene have an increased risk for prostate cancer and more aggressive disease, conclude Chinese scientists. |
| Gene polymorphism linked to prostate cancer incidence and severity Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with polymorphisms in the -173 locus of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene have an increased risk for prostate cancer and more aggressive disease, conclude Chinese scientists. |
| Alcohol-induced increased breast cancer risk is not affected by folate intake Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Alcohol consumption increases the risk for breast cancer, but this association is not reduced by increasing folate intake, a study suggests. |
| High CETP associated with presence of subclinical atherosclerosis Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT High levels of cholesteryl ester transfer protein are associated with increased coronary artery calcium and carotid intima-media thickness in Japanese men, report researchers. |
| High Lp(a) moderately increases risk for CHD and stroke Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT High levels of lipoprotein (Lp)(a) are associated with a moderately increased risk for coronary heart disease and stroke, but not nonvascular death, report researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association. |
| Early triple therapy with pioglitazone of benefit if HbA1c less than 8.5% Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Intensifying a dual oral agent regimen of metformin plus insulin secretagogue by adding pioglitazone significantly improves glycemic control in comparison with adding placebo in patients with baseline glycated hemoglobin levels of less than 8.5%, albeit with increased weight gain, French researchers report. |
| Arterial stiffness associated with HbA1c and diabetes duration in hypertensive patients Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Arterial stiffness is linked to both glycated hemoglobin and duration of diabetes in patients with concomitant hypertension, highlighting the importance of early glycemic control for prevention of atherosclerotic disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes. |
| Beta blockers linked with improved severe aortic regurgitation survival Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Beta blockers may improve the survival of patients with severe aortic regurgitation, an observational study suggests. |
| Low bone mineral density linked to stress-induced myocardial ischemia Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with chest pain undergoing stress testing are more likely to have stress-test induced myocardial ischemia if they have osteoporosis or osteopenia than if they have normal bone mineral density, US researchers report. |
| High Lp(a) moderately increases risk for CHD and stroke Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT High levels of lipoprotein (Lp)(a) are associated with a moderately increased risk for coronary heart disease and stroke, but not nonvascular death, report researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association. |
| Alcohol-induced increased breast cancer risk is not affected by folate intake Posted: 23 Jul 2009 05:00 PM PDT Alcohol consumption increases the risk for breast cancer, but this association is not reduced by increasing folate intake, a study suggests. |
