| LMWH thromboprophylaxis reduces risk for thrombocytopenia Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Heparin-associated thrombocytopenia is uncommon after treatment for venous thrombembolism, but the risk could be reduced further by using low molecular weight heparin, researchers suggest in the American Journal of Medicine. |
| Prodromal TIA heralds one in eight ischemic strokes Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Ischemic stroke is preceded by a transient ischemic attack – or "warning stroke" – in one out of eight cases, a cohort study suggests. |
| Topical psoralen enhances UVB efficacy in psoriasis Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Topical application of 8-methoxypsoralen gel increases the efficacy of narrowband ultraviolet B therapy in patients with psoriasis, Turkish study findings show. |
| Low Gleason score does not guarantee low-risk prostate cancer Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients who have a low Gleason score at biopsy do not always have low-risk disease, say researchers. |
| Obesity linked to aggressive prostate cancer regardless of race Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Obesity is associated with recurring prostate cancer in Black and White men, and is not more influential in either race, report US researchers. |
| Low Gleason score does not guarantee low-risk prostate cancer Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients who have a low Gleason score at biopsy do not always have low-risk disease, say researchers. |
| Obesity linked to aggressive prostate cancer regardless of race Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Obesity is associated with recurring prostate cancer in Black and White men, and is not more influential in either race, report US researchers. |
| Prognosis no poorer in pregnancy-associated breast cancer Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Women with pregnancy-associated breast cancer have a similar prognosis to those with non-gestational cancer, despite the challenges associated with cancer treatment during pregnancy, researchers report. |
| Central obesity, dyslipidemia linked to poor antihypertensive treatment response Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show some components of the metabolic syndrome, namely visceral obesity, high triglyceride levels, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, are associated with resistance to antihypertensive treatment. |
| Metabolic syndrome independent risk factor for arterial stiffness in Japanese Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased arterial stiffness in the general Japanese population, independent of other atherogenic risk factors, researchers report. |
| Ileal interposition surgery improves glucose tolerance for Type 2 diabetics Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Two versions of laparascopic ileal interposition surgery and sleeve gastrectomy lead to significantly improved glucose tolerance in normal and overweight patients with Type 2 diabetes, show results presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes 45th Annual Meeting in Vienna, Austria. |
| Use of exenatide does not increase risk for acute pancreatitis Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Treatment of Type 2 diabetics with the glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue exenatide does not significantly increase the risk for acute pancreatitis compared with other antidiabetic drugs, report researchers. |
| Fish oils show ‘no major’ protection against heart failure Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Dutch researchers have thrown doubt on the proposed link between consumption of fish oils and reduced risk for heart failure. |
| High US readmission rates for heart failure and myocardial infarction Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Analysis of new Medicare data shows that mortality rates for acute myocardial infarction and heart failure vary across the USA, but that readmission rates are consistently high. |
| Prognosis no poorer in pregnancy-associated breast cancer Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Women with pregnancy-associated breast cancer have a similar prognosis to those with non-gestational cancer, despite the challenges associated with cancer treatment during pregnancy, researchers report. |
| Desflurane and sevoflurane comparable for ambulatory anesthesia Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that desflurane and sevoflurane for maintenance of anesthesia do not differ with regard to times to discharge and patients return to normal daily activities. |
| Training in ventilator bundle reduces days spent on mechanical ventilation Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Staff training by an intensive care unit change team in pre-defined interventions improves the quality of care in mechanically ventilated patients, say researchers. |
| Low pre-operative hemoglobin levels predict late mortality after CABG Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients have a worse long-term outcome after undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting if they have low pre-operative hemoglobin levels, say researchers. |
