Fibrinolysis efficacy questioned for left-sided PVT in developing countries Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Novel treatments are required for patients with left-sided prosthetic valve thrombosis in developing countries, say clinicians on finding fibrinolysis to be less effective for this indication than previously reported.

Pediatric stroke incidence ‘higher than thought’ Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT The incidence of ischemic stroke in children is at least twice as high as previously thought, US researchers believe.

Symptom frequency needs to be considered when evaluating psoriasis severity Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have called for the development of new scoring systems for evaluating psoriasis severity that incorporate the symptoms of the disease.

Presence of Hsp-27 protein at diagnosis indicates more aggressive prostate cancer Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT The presence of small heat shock protein-27 at prostate cancer diagnosis predicts a poor clinical outcome, say UK scientists.

Daily mTOR inhibitor therapy effective for advanced breast cancer Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Daily, but not weekly, treatment with the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus reveals single-agent antitumor activity in women with advanced breast cancer, Canadian researchers report.

New model for CVD risk prediction in Japanese effective Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT A new model for prediction of cardiovascular disease in Japanese individuals is effective at predicting risk, report researchers.

<i>APOA5</i> variant increases risk for high triglycerides in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Hypertriglyceridemia associated with high levels of retinal binding protein 4 in individuals with Type 2 diabetes is enhanced in the presence of a variant of the apolipoprotein A5 gene, report researchers.

Colestilan improves glycemic control and LDL cholesterol in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from a randomized trial of the bile acid sequestrant colestilan show that it is effective for improving glycated hemoglobin and reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in Type 2 diabetics.

Incidence of Type 2 diabetes soaring in the Philippines Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Revisiting a cohort from a national Filipino study population after 9 years reveals rapidly rising levels of Type 2 diabetes, researchers report.

Colestilan improves glycemic control and LDL cholesterol in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from a randomized trial of the bile acid sequestrant colestilan show that it is effective for improving glycated hemoglobin and reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in Type 2 diabetics.

Remote ischemic preconditioning reduces myocardial injury during CABG Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Remote ischemic preconditioning reduces myocardial injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery receiving cold-blood cardioplegia, a randomized study suggests.

Vitamin D deficiency exerts delayed effect on hypertension Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Premenopausal women who have a deficiency in vitamin D face a 3-fold increased risk for developing systolic hypertension in later life compared with their peers who have normal levels, study findings show.

Daily mTOR inhibitor therapy effective for advanced breast cancer Posted: 24 Sep 2009 05:00 PM PDT Daily, but not weekly, treatment with the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus reveals single-agent antitumor activity in women with advanced breast cancer, Canadian researchers report.
