| Benefits of EARLY dipyridamole still unresolved Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The EARLY trial shows no clear risks or benefits from adding extended-release dipyridamole to aspirin within 24 hours after a stroke or transient ischemic attack. |
| Second-hand smoke linked to sleep problems in asthmatic children Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Exposure to second-hand smoke in the home is associated with significant sleep problems in children with asthma, study results suggest. |
| Antioxidant protein clue to lung changes in COPD Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a study in mice suggest that the antioxidant protein sestrin 2 triggers molecular pathways that induce some of the critical lung changes associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. |
| Children with sickle cell disease at increased risk for influenza hospitalization Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Children with sickle cell disease have a significantly higher rate of influenza-related hospitalizations (IRH) than children without the disease, research shows |
| Psychosis treatment adherence unaffected by involuntary hospital admission Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients who are voluntarily admitted for treatment of first-episode psychosis are no more likely to adhere to treatment or to have more favorable clinical and functional outcomes than patients involuntarily admitted, Norwegian researchers report. |
| Cognitive variables may not predict bipolar disorder functional outcomes Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Cognitive variables may not be good predictors of occupational recovery and social adjustment in patients hospitalized with bipolar disorder, study findings show. |
| DCIS size underestimated in third of cases Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST UK study results show that pre-operative imaging underestimates the extent of disease in a third of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ, resulting in a need for further surgery in these patients. |
| PSA-targeted vaccine lengthens survival of advanced prostate cancer patients Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST A prostate-specific antigen-targeted poxviral vaccine for prostate cancer could reduce deaths among men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer by 44%, report researchers. |
| Red and processed meat may increase prostate cancer risk Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Consumption of red and processed meat is associated with an increased risk for total and advanced prostate cancer, study results indicate. |
| Phenol content determines lipid oxidation benefits of olive oil Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The reduction in lipid oxidation seen with olive oil is largely a result of the amount of phenols present in the oil and the ability of these phenols to bind to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. |
| Omega-3 lipid benefits persist beyond highest Western intake levels Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The beneficial effects of omega-3 fats on lipids and other markers of cardiovascular disease risk continue to be seen at levels of consumption far greater than is typical in Western populations. |
| Asymptomatic LV dysfunction found in half of Type 2 diabetes patients Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Early-stage heart failure is present in a significant proportion of patients with Type 2 diabetes with apparently normal cardiac function and should be looked for and treated more aggressively, Swedish researchers believe. |
| Liraglutide offers HRQoL benefits in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Treatment with the diabetes drug liraglutide offers greater improvements in psychological wellbeing and health-related quality of life than treatment with glimepiride, clinical trial results indicate. |
| Catheter ablation superior to drugs in refractory atrial fibrillation Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Radiofrequency catheter ablation achieves significantly better outcomes than antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation who have not responded to at least one prior antiarrhythmic drug, study results demonstrate. |
| Mild emphysema linked to subclinical hemodynamic changes Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Increasing emphysema extent and degree of airflow obstruction are linearly associated with decreasing left ventricular end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, and cardiac output in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who are free of clinical cardiovascular disease, shows a population-based study. |
