| Good medication adherence improves outcomes in COPD patients Posted: 25 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with good adherence to inhaled medications are less likely to die or be hospitalized because of exacerbations than their counterparts with poor adherence, research shows. |
| Living near busy roads ‘not linked to asthma and COPD in adults’ Posted: 25 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Living in close proximity to busy roads is not associated with an increased risk for asthma, allergies, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults, results of a UK study suggest. |
| Waistline linked to asthma risk in women Posted: 25 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Women with a large waist circumference are more likely to develop asthma than those with smaller waists, even if they have a normal body mass index, researchers have found. |
| Similar neuropsychologic dysfunction across psychosis patient groups Posted: 25 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Neuropsychologic dysfunction occurs early in both depression and bipolar disorder with psychosis and is similar to, if less severe than, that seen in first-episode schizophrenia, US researchers have discovered. |
| Genes underpin mood-incongruent psychosis in bipolar disorder Posted: 25 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Specific genes are associated with the presence of mood-incongruent psychosis in patients with bipolar disorder, conclude European researchers who say the findings should be taken into account in future bipolar disorder studies. |
| Deoxygenated hemoglobin levels predict PTS Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Research suggests that measuring deoxygenated hemoglobin levels in calf muscle may help identify deep vein thrombosis patients at greatest risk for post-thrombotic syndrome. |
| Chronic bronchial infection ‘boosts stroke risk’ Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Chronic respiratory infection, as manifested by bronchitis and/or frequent influenza-like illness, increases the risk for stroke, a case–control study has shown. |
| Chronic bronchial infection ‘boosts stroke risk’ Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Chronic respiratory infection, as manifested by bronchitis and/or frequent influenza-like illness, increases the risk for stroke, a case–control study has shown. |
| More elderly breast cancer sufferers receive chemotherapy in private practice Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Elderly women treated for breast cancer in a private practice are more likely to receive chemotherapy than similar aged women treated in a non-private setting, US study results show. |
| Fatigue from prostate cancer radiation therapy linked to inflammation Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT The fatigue associated with radiation therapy used to treat prostate and breast cancer may be caused by activation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine network, according to a US study. |
| Dietary soy protein improves lipid profile in people with Type 2 diabetes Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of soy protein improves serum lipids predominantly by reducing levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in adults with Type 2 diabetes, and may therefore potentially modify future cardiovascular disease risk, researchers report. |
| Liver fat, not visceral fat, good metabolic complications marker in obese Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Excess intrahepatic fat, but not visceral fat, is associated with the metabolic dysfunction seen in obese individuals, show study results. |
| Metabolically healthy obese have lower hepatic enzyme concentrations Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Individuals who are "metabolically healthy" but obese have lower levels of various hepatic enzymes than other obese individuals, report researchers. |
| Positive results from LEAD 5 for triple combination therapy Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from the LEAD 5 study show that combining metformin and glimepiride with liraglutide effectively decreases glycated hemoglobin levels and reduces blood pressure and weight. |
| Dietary soy protein improves lipid profile in people with Type 2 diabetes Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of soy protein improves serum lipids predominantly by reducing levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in adults with Type 2 diabetes, and may therefore potentially modify future cardiovascular disease risk, researchers report. |
| Comorbidities in ACS barrier to evidence-based treatment Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Many patients with acute coronary syndromes do not receive evidence-based treatments, say researchers who found that the presence of comorbid risk factors was a major driving force behind the disparity. |
| Vitamin B-heart disease inverse link may be independent of diet Posted: 24 Aug 2009 05:00 PM PDT Fasting plasma vitamin B6 levels are inversely associated with the risk for myocardial infarction (MI) in women, at least in part independently of dietary vitamin B6 intake, researchers report. |
