Erosion main source of healing thrombi in sudden death patients Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST A study of sudden death patients with acute myocardial infarction suggests that plaque erosions rather than ruptures are the main cause of the healing coronary thrombi, associated with poor outcome in this population.

Study supports radiation exposure link to circulatory disease Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Moderate radiation doses are associated with an increased risk for both heart disease and stroke, shows research published in the British Medical Journal.

Thrombolysis for stroke ‘more likely at weekends’ Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to hospital on weekends are treated more aggressively than those admitted on weekdays, new research reveals.

Ustekinumab shows superior efficacy in moderate-to-severe psoriasis Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Ustekinumab appears to more effective than etanercept for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, with a similar safety profile, say researchers.

Risk allele for advanced stage prostate cancer found in African–American men Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The presence of the Broad11934905 AG allele on chromosome 8q24 in African–American men indicates an increased risk for non-organ confined high stage prostate cancer, and a trend towards early biochemical recurrence after surgery, study findings show.

Criteria for active surveillance of prostate cancer patients may miss unfavorable disease Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Even the most stringent active surveillance selection models for men with prostate cancer may potentially result in disease misclassification and a risk for under-diagnosis, say French researchers.

Criteria for active surveillance of prostate cancer patients may miss unfavorable disease Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Even the most stringent active surveillance selection models for men with prostate cancer may potentially result in disease misclassification and a risk for under-diagnosis, say French researchers.

Early physiotherapy reduces breast surgery complications Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Early physiotherapy, including massage and shoulder exercises, could help to prevent and reduce secondary lymphedema after breast surgery, study findings indicate.

Risk allele for advanced stage prostate cancer found in African–American men Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The presence of the Broad11934905 AG allele on chromosome 8q24 in African–American men indicates an increased risk for non-organ confined high stage prostate cancer, and a trend towards early biochemical recurrence after surgery, study findings show.

Erythrocyte ion transport altered in hypertensive African–Americans with dyslipidemia Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST African–Americans with essential hypertension and dyslipidemia have decreased erythrocyte ion transport compared with Caucasians, a study suggests.

No evidence for detrimental CV effects of saturated fat Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The results of a meta-analysis suggest there is no significant evidence to show that consumption of saturated fat is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease.

New ACCORD analyses focus on severe symptomatic hypoglycemia Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Two new analyses offer insights into the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes trial, which was stopped after an interim analysis detected increased mortality among patients assigned to intensive compared with standard glucose control.

Insulin deficiency does not predict incident Type 2 diabetes Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a large Korean study suggest that measurement of blood glucose, but not homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function, predicts future onset of Type 2 diabetes

Study supports radiation exposure link to circulatory disease Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Moderate radiation doses are associated with an increased risk for both heart disease and stroke, shows research published in the British Medical Journal.

Individual risk profiling of ACS patients may optimize antithrombotic management Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Considering the individual risk profiles of patients with acute coronary syndrome and weighing their risk for bleeding complications against their potential benefit from antithrombotic treatment could optimize their therapeutic management, say researchers.

New ACCORD analyses focus on severe symptomatic hypoglycemia Posted: 14 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Two new analyses offer insights into the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes trial, which was stopped after an interim analysis detected increased mortality among patients assigned to intensive compared with standard glucose control.
