LMWH home therapy feasible for DVT Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients with acute proximal deep vein thrombosis can be successfully treated using low molecular weight heparin at home from the outset, indicate results from the Home-LITE trial.

ADMA shows promise as biomarker of subclinical brain injury Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT High circulating levels of asymmetrical dimethylarginine are independently associated with an increased prevalence of silent brain infarcts, a community-based study has shown.

Stable form of galectin-9 shows therapeutic potential in psoriasis Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have developed a stable form of galectin -9, which they say could be a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of T-helper 1- and 17-mediated skin inflammation.

Altered gene expression predicts post-radiotherapy late rectal bleeding Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT The risk for late rectal bleeding after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for prostate cancer is associated with altered expression of a range of DNA repair genes, Italian scientists have discovered.

Breast cancer survivors at increased risk for psychologic distress Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Serious psychologic distress is more common in cancer survivors, including survivors of breast cancer, than in those who have never been diagnosed with the disease, a US population-based study suggests.

Altered gene expression predicts post-radiotherapy late rectal bleeding Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT The risk for late rectal bleeding after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for prostate cancer is associated with altered expression of a range of DNA repair genes, Italian scientists have discovered.

GOAL maintains Type 2 diabetes risk reduction long-term Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT The GOAL lifestyle implementation trial helped individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to maintain a reduction in weight, body mass index, and serum total cholesterol for 36 months, say researchers.

Genetically low HDL cholesterol not linked to pre-clinical atherosclerosis Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with genetic lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency have very low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but do not have preclinical atherosclerosis, report investigators.

LDL cholesterol is an independent predictor for AGEs Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are positively correlated with serum concentration of advanced glycation end products, show study results.

GOAL maintains Type 2 diabetes risk reduction long-term Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT The GOAL lifestyle implementation trial helped individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to maintain a reduction in weight, body mass index, and serum total cholesterol for 36 months, say researchers.

Impaired insulin sensitivity, secretion predict Type 2 diabetes Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT A study of Hispanic African Americans shows that insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction independently predict diabetes.

LDL cholesterol is an independent predictor for AGEs Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are positively correlated with serum concentration of advanced glycation end products, show study results.

Beta-blocker therapy has effects unique to HF with normal or reduced LVEF Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Beta-blocker therapy has unique myocardial effects in heart failure patients with normal and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, possibly contributing to the different outcomes of therapy for each phenotype, reports a Dutch team.

CHD death risk three times higher in men than women with angina Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Men with angina have a two-fold higher risk for a myocardial infarction and three-fold higher risk for coronary heart disease death than women with the condition, study findings reveal.

Breast cancer survivors at increased risk for psychologic distress Posted: 06 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Serious psychologic distress is more common in cancer survivors, including survivors of breast cancer, than in those who have never been diagnosed with the disease, a US population-based study suggests.
