| Survey shows wide global variation in asthma and wheezing rates Posted: 15 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from World Health Survey (WHS) show that there are wide between-country differences in the prevalence of asthma and wheeze, with middle-income countries having the lowest prevalence rates. |
| CBT helps prevent panic attacks in COPD patients Posted: 15 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT A brief, targeted cognitive behavioral therapy intervention is effective for the prevention and treatment of panic attacks and associated symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, researchers report. |
| IL-17 levels linked to allergic rhinitis severity Posted: 15 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Serum levels of interleukin-17 are significantly associated with disease severity in patients with allergic rhinitis, results of an Italian study show. |
| Social anxiety a significant comorbid disorder in FEP Posted: 15 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Social anxiety is a significant affective disorder present in first-episode psychosis and appears to become clinically prominent after its onset, suggest UK study results. |
| Anxiety state, trait heritable factors in BD Posted: 15 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that anxiety state and trait are heritable and share some genetic factors in bipolar disorder, with trait anxiety showing a stair-step distribution in family members based on their genetic proximity to the affected individual. |
| SVG occlusion independent of HIT antibodies Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT US research indicates that the antibodies that cause heparin-induced thrombocytopenia do not increase the risk for early saphenous vein graft occlusion in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. |
| Combined carotid, cardiac surgery ups stroke risk Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Carotid artery stenosis is not a direct causal factor in the majority of postoperative strokes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, US researchers have shown. |
| Information on use of breast cancer targeted testing is lacking Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT A review carried out by US scientists reveals that there is little information about the use of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 testing in routine clinical practice, which could provide insight into the evidence needed for testing emerging technologies. |
| Common sexually transmitted infection linked to aggressive prostate cancer Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT The presence of antibodies against the common sexually transmitted infection Trichomonas vaginalis, is associated with the risk for aggressive prostate cancer, US study findings show. |
| Metformin moderately reduces BMI and insulin resistance in obese children Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Metformin treatment is moderately effective at reducing body mass index and insulin resistance in obese children and adolescents, show results from a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| New HDL biosynthesis defect identified Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study results indicate that phospholipid and cholesterol efflux may be two distinct processes in cellular high-density lipoprotein biosynthesis. |
| Fibrates useful alternative or add-on to statins for improving lipids Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from a systematic review show that fibrates are effective at improving lipids and reduce the risk for nonfatal myocardial infarction, providing a useful alternative or add-on therapy to statins for patients who are intolerant to statins or who have trouble reaching their lipid goals. |
| One fifth of Type 2 diabetes patients have vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Vitamin B12 deficiency is present in 22% of patients with Type 2 diabetes, researchers report. |
| Metformin moderately reduces BMI and insulin resistance in obese children Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Metformin treatment is moderately effective at reducing body mass index and insulin resistance in obese children and adolescents, show results from a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Nearly one in three stable CAD patients suffer weekly angina Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT A study of stable coronary artery disease patients attending primary care practices in Australia found that almost one in three had angina at least once a week, worsening their quality of life. |
| ICD therapy for primary prevention may not benefit women Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death does not reduce mortality in women, a US meta-analysis has revealed, highlighting the need for gender-specific data in this, and other areas, of cardiovascular medicine. |
| Combined carotid, cardiac surgery ups stroke risk Posted: 14 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Carotid artery stenosis is not a direct causal factor in the majority of postoperative strokes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, US researchers have shown. |
