| Breathing purified air at night may benefit patients with allergic asthma Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Breathing purified air while asleep at night can help reduce bronchial inflammation and improve quality of life in patients with allergic asthma, study results suggest. |
| Treatment in structured environment benefits children with ‘difficult’ asthma Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Most children with "difficult" asthma can attain good symptom control if they receive treatment in a structured environment, research shows. |
| COPD is independent risk factor for lung cancer Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common and significant independent risk factor for lung cancer, study results show. |
| Serotonin gene variant linked to bipolar disorder Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT A variant in the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 5A gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder, says an international team of scientists, although they urge caution in interpreting the findings. |
| Novel scale identifies mixed states in bipolar disorder Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT A novel scale is able to identify the key features of mixed states in bipolar disorder, and reinforces the notion that the mixed state is a distinct clinical entity, conclude UK researchers. |
| Biochemical recurrence risk low with negative tissue after positive surgery margin Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients who have positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy and subsequent negative resected tissue display similar disease behavior to those with negative surgical margins, study findings show. |
| AI-related arthralgia inversely associated with time since menopause Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Breast cancer survivors who have recently experienced menopause are more likely to report aromatase inhibitor-related arthralgia than those who are 10 or more years past menopause, US researchers report. |
| SPPI is an ‘excellent’ therapeutic option for patients with recurrent prostate cancer Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients with localized recurrence of the disease following external beam radiotherapy have significantly improved chances of controlling their cancer with salvage permanent perineal radioactive-seed implantation, findings suggest. |
| Level of dyslipidemia has improved in USA, but could be better Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased significantly from 1999 to 2006 in the USA, but there is still significant room for improvement, say researchers. |
| Common <i>LRP6</i> variant linked to high LDL cholesterol Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT A common variant of the lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 gene is associated with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, report researchers in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. |
| Thiazolidinediones increase risk for fracture in diabetic patients Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with diabetes who are treated with the antidiabetic thiazolidinedione drugs pioglitazone or rosiglitazone are at increased risk for fracture, report researchers. |
| Low levels AMH, inhibin B precede early menopause in Type 1 diabetics Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Middle-aged women with Type 1 diabetes have significantly lower levels of anti-Müllerian hormone and inhibin B prior to the menopause than their non-diabetic peers, show study results. |
| Living at high altitude may reduce CV mortality Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT People living at high altitudes are less likely to die from coronary heart disease and stroke than those living at lower altitudes, research suggests. |
| Pessimism, cynical hostility linked to increased CHD, all-cause mortality in women Posted: 11 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Optimistic women are at lower risk for developing and dying from coronary heart disease and for dying of any cause than those whose outlook is pessimistic, results from the Women's Health Initiative in the USA suggest. |
