| Copeptin shows prognostic value in acute ischemic stroke Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Copeptin is a novel independent prognostic marker in patients with ischemic stroke, suggests research published in the Annals of Neurology. |
| Atopic conditions linked to increased risk for serious pneumococcal disease Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST All atopic conditions are associated with an increased risk for serious pneumococcal disease (SPD), study results suggest. |
| Sputum prostaglandin E2 levels linked to asthma severity Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Sputum concentrations of prostaglandin E2 increase with increasing asthma severity, indicating a bronchoprotective and anti-inflammatory role for the biomarker in patients with more severe asthma, say researchers. |
| Hookworm infection may not benefit asthma patients Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from an initial study suggest that experimental infection with hookworm larvae does not significantly improve bronchial responsiveness or other measures of disease control in patients with asthma. |
| Lack of insight in schizophrenia partly explained by other factors Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Clinical symptoms and demographic characteristics such as educational level partially account for the lack of insight in schizophrenia, the results of a European study indicate. |
| Bipolar medication adherence affected by beliefs Posted: 04 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The treatment and illness beliefs of patients with bipolar disorder predict medication adherence and may represent a potential target for modification, say UK researchers. |
| INR values do not predict thromboembolic events after MVR Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Anticoagulation intensity post-mitral valve replacement, although on target as an average, is highly variable and fails to prevent thromboembolic events, a US community-based study has shown. |
| Tuberculosis may be risk factor for ischemic stroke Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Tuberculosis is associated with a significantly increased risk for ischemic but not hemorrhagic stroke, a Taiwanese study has found. |
| PSA screening may be unnecessary in certain men over 75 years Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Prostate-specific antigen screening may be feasibly discontinued in African–American and Caucasian American men aged between 75 and 80 years whose initial PSA levels are less than 6 ng/ml and 3 ng/ml, respectively, report researchers. |
| Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin effective after prior anthracycline exposure Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide is effective and well-tolerated in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have received prior adjuvant anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, Canadian researchers report. |
| n-3 PUFAs linked to increased insulin sensitivity in Chinese diabetics Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Increased plasma levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are associated with improved insulin sensitivity, a study of Chinese patients with Type 2 diabetes has found. |
| Interplay among apoA5, triglycerides, and insulin resistance scrutinized Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Hypertriglyceridemia in obese people with insulin resistance is associated with a reduction in plasma levels of apolipoprotein A5, suggests research. |
| <i>LPA</i> variants linked to increased risk for high Lp(a) and CAD Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Two lipoprotein (a) gene variants are strongly associated with both increased lipoprotein (a) levels and an increased risk for coronary artery disease, report researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine. |
| Physical activity reduces Type 2 diabetes risk in patients with CVD Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with cardiovascular disease who are physically active have a significantly reduced risk for developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who are inactive, show study results. |
| Treat hypertension less aggressively in over 80s, expert says Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST People over 80 years of age should be treated less aggressively for high blood pressure than is currently recommended, argues an expert in an editorial published in BMJ Clinical Evidence. |
| Additional MRI safety risk identified for cardiac pacemaker patients Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Electronic fields induced near pacemaker lead tips during magnetic resonance imaging can drastically alter the pacing pulse delivered by a cardiac pacemaker, a study indicates. |
| n-3 PUFAs linked to increased insulin sensitivity in Chinese diabetics Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Increased plasma levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are associated with improved insulin sensitivity, a study of Chinese patients with Type 2 diabetes has found. |
| Physical activity reduces Type 2 diabetes risk in patients with CVD Posted: 03 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with cardiovascular disease who are physically active have a significantly reduced risk for developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who are inactive, show study results. |
