| Most young asthmatics retain good lung function after switch to adult healthcare Posted: 24 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Adolescents with asthma are unlikely to experience any deterioration in lung function as a consequence of switching from pediatric to adult healthcare, research shows. |
| Benzodiazepines do not relieve breathlessness in advanced COPD Posted: 24 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST A systematic review of published studies has found no evidence to suggest that treatment with benzodiazepines reduces breathlessness in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. |
| Biphasic reactions to allergen immunotherapy ‘uncommon’ Posted: 24 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from an Israeli study suggest that biphasic systemic reactions to allergen immunotherapy are uncommon and tend to be mild in nature. |
| PSV-23 response impaired in IBD patients receiving immunosuppressant therapy Posted: 24 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Immune response to the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is impaired in patients with inflammatory bowel disease on combination immunosuppressive therapy but is normal among those not receiving immunosuppressant drugs, researchers have found. |
| Maternal antenatal depression increases schizophrenia risk in vulnerable offspring Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Maternal depression during pregnancy may additionally increase the risk for schizophrenia in offspring with a family history of psychosis, research suggests. |
| ICU admission for swine flu linked to treatment delays Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The need for treatment in an intensive care unit among patients with H1N1 influenza is associated with longer intervals between symptom onset and treatment with antivirals and the presence of an underlying medical condition, results of a Canadian study show. |
| Left ventricular diastolic function improved by lowering BP Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with hypertension who achieve greater reductions in systolic blood pressure show improved left ventricular diastolic function relative to their peers who achieve more modest SBP reductions, study results demonstrate. |
| Left ventricular diastolic function improved by lowering BP Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with hypertension who achieve greater reductions in systolic blood pressure show improved left ventricular diastolic function relative to their peers who achieve more modest SBP reductions, study results demonstrate. |
| Low income diabetes patients at greater CVD risk Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Diabetes patients on low incomes are at higher risk for atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular disease than those who earn more, show results from a Canadian study. |
| Amygdala activity during emotion processing aids psychiatric diagnosis Posted: 21 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Research findings suggest that there are unique neural mechanisms mediating face–emotion processing deficits in patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and severe mood dysregulation. |
| Functional improvement in schizophrenia treatment is not delayed Posted: 20 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have found that improvement in functional outcomes in response to antipsychotic treatment is not delayed in schizophrenia patients relative to improvement in psychiatric symptoms. |
| Atherosclerosis may underpin infectious disease link to stroke risk Posted: 20 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The extent of people's exposure to infectious diseases may contribute to their development of carotid plaque, show results from the Northern Manhattan Study. |
| H1N1 flu unlikely to have been spread by birds Posted: 20 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The two strains of the H1N1 influenza that were responsible for the 1918 and 2009 global flu pandemics do not cause disease in birds and were unlikely to have been spread by birds, study results suggest. |
| Modest dietary salt reductions could slash US cardiovascular disease burden Posted: 20 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Modest reductions in dietary salt could substantially reduce cardiovascular events and medical costs in the USA and should be a public health target, report researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine. |
| Better recognition of eating disorders in bipolar disorder patients needed Posted: 20 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Study findings highlight the need for clinicians to recognize comorbid eating disorders in patients with bipolar disorder. |
| Increased amygdala, hippocampal activation in schizophrenia patients with hallucinations Posted: 19 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have found that schizophrenia patients with hallucinations have greater activation in the amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus than patients without hallucinations and individuals without schizophrenia. |
| Dementia, mobility strong predictors of mortality in elderly with HF Posted: 19 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Geriatric conditions, specifically dementia and mobility, are strong independent predictors of short- and long-term mortality in elderly patients hospitalized with heart failure, US research shows. |
| A third of BD patients receive inadequate maintenance treatment Posted: 19 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Over one-third of bipolar disorder patients do not receive adequate provision or continuity of maintenance treatment during their first follow-up maintenance phase, indicate study findings. |
| Generalized cognitive deficits most severe, enduring in schizophrenia Posted: 18 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that generalized cognitive deficits are present early in the course of all psychotic disorders, but are most severe and enduring in schizophrenia. |
| AF less frequent with ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta blockers than with CCBs Posted: 18 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Long-term monotherapy with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or beta blockers in patients with hypertension is associated with reduced risk for atrial fibrillation compared with long-term calcium channel blocker monotherapy, report researchers. |
| Pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction associated with HF in diabetics Posted: 18 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction is common in patients with diabetes and increases the risk for subsequent heart failure, show study results. |
| Generalized white matter structural abnormalities present in BD Posted: 18 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that generalized white matter microstructural abnormalities may exist in bipolar disorder, and that these may be exacerbated by past substance use and decreased by lithium. |
