| Asthma symptom frequency reduced in patients with asthma and rhinitis Posted: 01 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with co-occurring asthma and rhinitis tend to experience less frequent respiratory symptoms than those with asthma alone, Danish study results suggest. |
| Herbal remedy use linked to reduced ICS adherence in asthmatics Posted: 01 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Asthma patients who use herbal remedies are less adherent to inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and have greater levels of asthma-related morbidity than those who do not use such remedies, US researchers have found. |
| Duration of ruptured fetal membranes linked to childhood wheeze Posted: 01 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST A longer duration of ruptured fetal membranes before birth is associated with an increased risk for wheeze in early childhood, study results show. |
| Schizophrenia patient criminal justice system involvement high Posted: 01 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST US study findings show that individuals with schizophrenia are more likely than the general population to have encounters with the criminal justice system, with most individuals being victims of crime rather than perpetrators. |
| Very high prevalence of substance use disorders in bipolar patients Posted: 01 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) are three times more likely to experiment with illicit substances than the general population, although excessive substance abuse does not impact the course of illness, suggest study findings. |
| Hypocoaguability predicts 30-day ICU survival Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Intensive care unit patients with hypocoaguability on admission have an increased short-term risk for death, demonstrate the results of a thromboelastography study. |
| AF doubles postoperative stroke risk Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Research shows that patients undergoing surgery have a doubled risk for postoperative stroke if they have atrial fibrillation. |
| Prostate biopsy DNA content predicts need for treatment Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Certain DNA content measurements found in the diagnostic biopsies of prostate cancer patients can indicate subsequent conversion to an unfavorable biopsy necessitating the need for treatment, study findings show. |
| Acupuncture shows promise for vasomotor symptoms in breast cancer Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Acupuncture is as effective as venlafaxine in decreasing the number of hot flashes in women treated with hormone therapy for breast cancer, US researchers report. |
| Dietary supplementation with walnuts helps to improve lipid levels Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Long-term dietary supplementation with walnuts significantly reduces total cholesterol and triglycerides in individuals with normal to moderately high total cholesterol, show study results. |
| Novel fat depot shows links with CVD risk markers Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST The volume of fat surrounding the thoracic aorta is associated with measures of adiposity, metabolic risk factors, and arterial calcification, US researchers have found. |
| Giving birth to many children may increase Type 2 diabetes risk Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Women from the Philippines who have six or more children are at increased risk for Type 2 diabetes independent of other risk factors, say researchers. |
| Obstructive sleep apnea, retinopathy strongly linked in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Retinopathy and obstructive sleep apnea are strongly correlated in men with Type 2 diabetes, with the relationship being independent of conventional risk factors for retinopathy, UK researchers have shown. |
| Age, frailty of AF patients may account for increased mortality with digoxin Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST Digoxin use in atrial fibrillation patients is associated with increased mortality because it is given to an elderly and frail subset of patients, report researchers. |
| Low neighborhood socioeconomic status linked to poor MI survival Posted: 31 Jan 2010 04:00 PM PST People from neighborhoods with low socioeconomic status have worse survival rates after myocardial infarction than those from more affluent neighborhoods, show the results of a study in Israel. |
