| ICS plus LABA best for children with poorly controlled asthma Posted: 04 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Treatment with standard doses of inhaled corticosteroids plus a long acting β2-agonist is more effective for reducing asthma symptoms in children with poorly-controlled disease than simply increasing the ICS dose, research indicates. |
| Moxifloxacin effective for PPM eradication in COPD patients Posted: 04 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Treatment with the antibiotic moxifloxacin is effective at eradicating potentially pathogenic microorganisms in the airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but does not prevent recolonization, research shows. |
| Airway smooth muscle thickness linked to asthma severity Posted: 04 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Asthma severity, but not duration, is significantly associated with the thickness of the smooth muscle layer in the airways, researchers have found. |
| White matter disruptions found in early schizophrenia Posted: 04 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Schizophrenia patients early in the course of the disease exhibit reductions in white matter integrity in fascicules that connect brain regions previously associated with chronic schizophrenia, scientists have shown. |
| Serum cytokine levels altered in euthymic bipolar disorder Posted: 04 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Bipolar disorder patients show significant differences in serum chemokine levels compared with healthy individuals that may act as markers for the disorder, Brazilian study findings indicate. |
| Accelerated, high-dose radiotherapy as effective as standard prostate cancer treatment Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST A short course of high-dose radiotherapy for prostate cancer is as effective as standard treatment and does not increase the rate of side effects, US researchers report. |
| pRb loss predicts good outcome in triple negative breast cancer Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Loss of expression of the retinoblastoma protein is more common in triple-negative breast cancers than in othersubtypes, and is associated with a better outcome after chemotherapy compared with cancers expressing pRb, Italian researchers report. |
| Colesevelam effective in pediatric familial hypercholesterolemia Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Treatment with colesevelam hydrochloride markedly reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in children with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, research shows. |
| Statins may protect against venous thromboembolism Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Patients with prior stroke or myocardial infarction who are treated with statins have a reduced risk for venous thromboembolism compared with nonusers, report researchers. |
| MCP-1 is associated with Type 2 diabetes and CVD mortality Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 is increased in individuals with Type 2 diabetes and is associated with long-term cardiovascular disease mortality, report researchers. |
| Intensive intervention reduces emergency care needs of African-American Type 2 diabetics Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Study results show that a culturally tailored intervention program allows African–American individuals with Type 2 diabetes to reduce the number of times they need to visit the emergency care room of their local hospital. |
| CRT benefit in mild HF shown by REVERSE 2-year data Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Cardiac resynchronization therapy is associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced left ventricular dimensions in heart failure patients in New York Heart Association functional classes I or II, show 2-year results for the European cohort in REVERSE. |
| Hypertension, arterial disease in middle age contribute to Alzheimer’s disease Posted: 03 Nov 2009 04:00 PM PST Hypertension and evidence of arterial disease and a pro-inflammatory status in middle age contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease, say researchers. |
