Symptom-related QoL worse in nonallergic than allergic rhinitis patients Posted: 08 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Symptom-related quality of life is worse in patients with nonallergic rhinitis than in those with the allergic form of the condition, study results suggest.

Seasonal flu vaccine may provide some protection against swine flu Posted: 08 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT The 2008–2009 seasonal flu vaccine may offer some protection against swine flu, particularly the most severe forms of the disease, preliminary research suggests.

Scale for Suicidal Ideation best for predicting suicide in BD patients Posted: 08 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT The prevalence of suicidal ideation in bipolar disorder mainly depends on its definition and the type of measure used for its identification, with the Scale for Suicide Ideation the most accurate measure, suggest study results.

H. pylori eradication prevention of gastric cancer questioned Posted: 08 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Eradicating Helicobacter pylori to treat peptic ulcers may not prevent gastric cancer, a large, prospective, Japanese study suggests.

Early effective anticoagulation required after mitral MHVR Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients undergoing mitral mechanical heart valve replacement have a high risk for early postoperative thromboembolic events, despite systematic use of intravenous unfractionated heparin, French researchers report.

NSAID use may increase prostate cancer risk Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have cast doubt as to whether the risk for prostate cancer is reduced in men who regularly use over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Transperineal biopsy method has high prostate cancer detection rate Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Transperineal template-guided biopsy allows better access to the prostate and a higher rate of cancer detection compared with the standard transrectal-ultrasound approach, say scientists evaluating the new method.

NSAID use may increase prostate cancer risk Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have cast doubt as to whether the risk for prostate cancer is reduced in men who regularly use over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

UK breast cancer incidence, treatment, survival vary with ethnicity Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patterns of breast cancer incidence, treatment, and survival differ between ethnic groups living in the south east of England, showed research presented this week at the National Cancer Research Institute's Cancer Conference in Birmingham, UK.

Transperineal biopsy method has high prostate cancer detection rate Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Transperineal template-guided biopsy allows better access to the prostate and a higher rate of cancer detection compared with the standard transrectal-ultrasound approach, say scientists evaluating the new method.

Low HDL cholesterol identified in a quarter of older hypertensive Spanish women Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT One in four hypertensive older women has low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a large study conducted at primary care centers in Spain suggests.

Several lipoprotein components associated with HF risk Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT A Scandinavian study of over 80,000 individuals has identified several lipoprotein components associated with the development of heart failure.

Good glycemic control reduces long-term treatment costs Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Type 2 diabetes patients with poor glycated hemoglobin control cost more to treat in the short term than those with better control, but this is likely to be offset by a resulting lower incidence of later micro- or macrovascular complications, say researchers.

Retinal microaneurysms predict worse retinopathy prognosis in diabetics Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Increased number of retinal microaneurysms is associated with worse retinopathy prognosis in patients with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, reported researchers at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes 45th Annual Meeting in Vienna, Austria.

ICD therapy early after MI fails to provide survival benefit Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Implantable cardioverter therapy early after myocardial infarction in patients at increased risk for events does not improve their survival, results of the Immediate Risk Stratification Improves Survival trial indicate.

UK breast cancer incidence, treatment, survival vary with ethnicity Posted: 07 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patterns of breast cancer incidence, treatment, and survival differ between ethnic groups living in the south east of England, showed research presented this week at the National Cancer Research Institute's Cancer Conference in Birmingham, UK.

Diet impact on prostate cancer risk, survivorship under examination Posted: 06 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from men participating in the UK's ProtecT trial may help determine the significance of diet in prostate cancer risk and survivorship.

Post-radiotherapy breast telangiectasiae predict late heart complications Posted: 06 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Radiotherapy-related telangiectasiae in breast cancer patients is not just a cosmetic issue, say UK researchers who believe the dilated blood vessels may identify women at increased risk for late cardiovascular damage from the treatment.
