| Productive cough predicts COPD development in former smokers Posted: 13 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The presence of productive cough is a significant independent risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in men who are former smokers, Japanese study results show. |
| Early life exposure to cat allergens increases later risk for asthma Posted: 13 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Increased levels of exposure to cat, but not dog, allergens at the age of 2 years are associated with an increased risk for asthma in later childhood, study results suggest. |
| Eosinophilic inflammation markers elevated in asthmatic and atopic children Posted: 13 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Italian researchers have found that markers of eosinophilic, but not neutrophilic, inflammation are elevated in children with asthma and atopic children without the respiratory condition. |
| Verbal fluency predicts transition to psychosis Posted: 13 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Ultra-high-risk (UHR) patients who make the transition to psychosis have worse semantic category verbal fluency scores than patients who do not make the transition, Dutch researchers have discovered. |
| Impulsivity increased in bipolar and antisocial personality disorders Posted: 13 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Individuals with bipolar disorder and antisocial personality disorder have increased impulsivity, but the two conditions do not act synergistically to increase further impulsivity, the results of a US study indicate. |
| EGFR-inhibitor C225 may improve success of radiotherapy for prostate cancer Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor C225 could improve the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy for prostate cancer patients, report Chinese researchers. |
| Male breast cancer epidemiology mirrors that of women Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST A comparative study of male versus female breast cancer has revealed notable similarities in incidence, mortality and survival trends among men and women. |
| Secondary treatment after prostate surgery linked to disease severity Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The likelihood that prostate cancer patients who experience biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy will receive salvage therapy depends on the severity of their disease, where they were treated, and when they experienced BCR, study findings show. |
| Smoking associated with low levels of adiponectin Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Levels of high molecular weight adiponectin are significantly decreased in Japanese male smokers compared with never-smokers and ex-smokers, report researchers. |
| Too much time in front of the TV increases total and CVD mortality Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Spending a lot of time watching television is associated with significantly increased total and cardiovascular disease-related mortality, show study results published in the journal Circulation. |
| Metformin treatment could prevent Type 2 diabetes for many Americans Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Around one in 12 US adults have impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, plus at least one other cardiometabolic risk factor, and should be considered for metformin treatment to prevent Type 2 diabetes, say US researchers. |
| Weight gain after smoking cessation may increase Type 2 diabetes risk Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Weight gain during the first 3 years after quitting smoking may increase the risk for Type 2 diabetes, suggest US researchers. |
| Early CAD common in men with HIV Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Subclinical coronary artery disease appears to be prevalent in men with long-term HIV infection who are otherwise healthy and have few cardiovascular risk factors, results of a coronary imaging study show. |
| Large variation found among CVD prevention guidelines Posted: 12 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Clinical practice guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in the general population show considerable variation in terms of target groups, screening tests, endpoints, and transparency/ conflicts of interest, a systematic review has shown. |
