| Registry data support albumin role in stroke outcome Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with hypoalbuminemia are at increased risk for dying in hospital after a stroke, show results from the Paul Coverdell Georgia Stroke Registry. |
| Long-term humidification therapy benefits COPD patients Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Long-term humidification therapy may help reduce the risk for exacerbations and improve lung function and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), say researchers. |
| Respiratory viral infections common in Asian children with asthma attacks Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Respiratory viral infections are commonly associated with asthma exacerbations in Asian children, research suggests. |
| Video consultations may help reduce COPD hospital readmission rates Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Respiratory nurse-led telemedicine video consultations (TVCs) can help reduce hospital readmissions for exacerbations among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Danish study results suggest. |
| Cortical surface characteristics altered in offspring of schizophrenia patients Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Adolescents with a genetically elevated risk for schizophrenia show altered cortical surface area and thickness, researchers report. |
| Functional status questionnaire specific to bipolar disorder developed Posted: 10 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have developed and validated a self-report measure for quantifying functional status across different clinical states in patients with bipolar disorder. |
| Age-adjusted median PSA not the best predictor for prostate cancer risk Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST A man's initial prostate-specific antigen reading is significantly associated with his risk for subsequent prostate cancer if it is higher than the average PSA level for his age group, study findings confirm. |
| Adjuvant therapy decision not based on axillary node involvement Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients who undergo axillary radiation therapy are no less likely to receive adjuvant therapy for breast cancer than those who undergo axillary lymph node dissection, study findings indicate. |
| Prostate cancer aggressiveness predicts positive surgical margins Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Characteristics of aggressive prostate cancer including high clinical stage, pathologic stage, and tumor volume predict positive surgical margins after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, say researchers. |
| Obesity may drive low-level inflammation behind elevated PLA2 activity Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have uncovered evidence to suggest that obesity, not Type 2 diabetes, may drive the low-level chronic inflammation behind elevated levels of plasma phospholipase A2. |
| Lipoprotein levels implicated in type of coronary plaque Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Lipoprotein levels may be important in determining the type of detectable coronary plaque found in patients with newly diagnosed coronary artery disease, researchers claim. |
| Serum omentin-1 levels decreased in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Levels of the fat depot-specific adipokine omentin-1 are decreased in individuals with impaired glucose regulation and Type 2 diabetes, show study results. |
| Elevated cortisol linked to IHD in patients with Type 2 diabetes Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Elevated levels of plasma cortisol are associated with increased fasting glucose, cholesterol, and prevalent ischemic heart disease among individuals with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers. |
| Obesity may drive low-level inflammation behind elevated PLA2 activity Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have uncovered evidence to suggest that obesity, not Type 2 diabetes, may drive the low-level chronic inflammation behind elevated levels of plasma phospholipase A2. |
| Gender disparity in catheter ablation treatment for AF Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Five times as many men than women undergo catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, with men showing a higher success rate and fewer complications with the therapy, study results show. |
| More women recognizing CV disease as leading cause of death Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Over half of US women are now aware that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, report researchers who found a 20% improvement in awareness since 1997. |
