| Thiazolidinediones do not influence stroke risk Posted: 17 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Patients with Type 2 diabetes do not face an altered risk for stroke if they take thiazolidinediones, show the results of a population-based study. |
| Elinogrel promising adjunct to PCI for STEMI Posted: 17 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Results of pilot study show that elinogrel, a novel P2Y12 ADP-receptor antagonist, is a well-tolerated and feasible adjunct antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. |
| Benefit of drug-eluting stents limited to stable CAD Posted: 17 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Drug-eluting stents reduce the need for repeat revascularization relative to bare metal stents in patients with stable coronary artery disease, but appear to have little such benefit for those with unstable angina or non–ST elevation acute coronary syndromes, study findings show. |
| Novel breast tissue feature linked to breast cancer risk Posted: 17 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Higher acinar counts within the lobules and larger lobule size are associated with an increased risk for breast cancer in women who have had benign breast biopsies, US researchers report. |
| Ninety-day stroke recurrence risk estimator published online Posted: 16 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a web-based tool to predict a patient's early risk for recurrence after ischemic stroke. |
| Healthy weight and exercise reduce urinary problems in prostate surgery patients Posted: 16 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Men who are physically active and maintain a healthy weight have a lower risk for developing urinary incontinence after surgery for prostate cancer than men who are obese and physically inactive, report researchers. |
| MRI-guided prostate biopsy finds clinically significant cancer Posted: 16 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Magnetic resonance imaging is highly effective at detecting localized clinically significant prostate cancer, study findings show. |
| Healthy weight and exercise reduce urinary problems in prostate surgery patients Posted: 16 Dec 2009 04:00 PM PST Men who are physically active and maintain a healthy weight have a lower risk for developing urinary incontinence after surgery for prostate cancer than men who are obese and physically inactive, report researchers. |
