LMWH alternative treatment for mechanical valve pregnancy prophylaxis Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Low molecular weight heprin is a feasible option for pregnant women with mechanical heart valves who wish to avoid oral anticoagulation therapy, Canadian researchers believe.

Recanalization is best predictor for outcomes after thrombectomy Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Recanalization status is the best predictor for clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy, an analysis of clinical trial data indicates.

Vascular characteristics of prostate tumors predict lethal disease Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT The morphology and function of the vessels in prostate tumors can be used as a biomarker to identify lethal disease, show the results of a US study.

EBRT has better biochemical outcomes than RP in high-risk prostate cancer Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients treated with external beam radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer have significantly better outcomes than those treated with radical prostatectomy, according to Italian research.

Vascular characteristics of prostate tumors predict lethal disease Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT The morphology and function of the vessels in prostate tumors can be used as a biomarker to identify lethal disease, show the results of a US study.

EBRT has better biochemical outcomes than RP in high-risk prostate cancer Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Patients treated with external beam radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer have significantly better outcomes than those treated with radical prostatectomy, according to Italian research.

Endocrine therapy necessary for breast cancer patients with hormone receptor conversion Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Non-administration of adjuvant endocrine therapy to breast cancer patients with hormone receptor conversion is associated with a worse prognosis compared with those who receive endocrine therapy, Japanese researchers report.

Marine animal pigment can improve lipid levels in hypertriglyceridemia Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT A natural pigment produced by marine animals can improve the lipid and adiponectin levels of people with moderately elevated triglyceride levels, Japanese trial findings suggest.

Statins may reduce cholesterol content of erythrocyte membranes Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Statin treatment is associated with reductions in the cholesterol content of erythrocyte membranes, a study suggests.

Diabetic women, Blacks, at increased risk for cardiac death Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes may attenuate gender differences in the risk for fatal cardiac events, a new analysis of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study suggests.

Moderate alcohol intake is protective against Type 2 diabetes Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Results from a meta-analysis published in the journal Diabetes Care show that moderate alcohol intake has a protective effect against Type 2 diabetes.

ACE inhibitors beneficial for ischemic heart disease with preserved LV Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Adding an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor to standard medical therapy improves clinical outcomes in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and preserved left ventricular function, results of a systematic review show.

Hybrid ablation therapy effective for persistent AF Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with combined pulmonary vein isolation and substrate modification is effective for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with valvular heart disease, say Chinese researchers.

Endocrine therapy necessary for breast cancer patients with hormone receptor conversion Posted: 29 Oct 2009 05:00 PM PDT Non-administration of adjuvant endocrine therapy to breast cancer patients with hormone receptor conversion is associated with a worse prognosis compared with those who receive endocrine therapy, Japanese researchers report.
