Point-of-care assay allows accurate PCI anticoagulation assessment Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST A bedside assay allows accurate assessment of enoxaparin anticoagulation in patients undergoing catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention, French researchers have found.

High-dose prostate RT surpasses conventional dose in long-term outcome Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Superior long-term cancer control can be achieved in men with early-stage prostate cancer by treating them with high-dose conformal radiation therapy rather than conventional-dose conformal treatment, researchers report.

Relative disease burden predicts low PSA level after prostate cryoablation Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Whether a man undergoing prostate cryoablation achieves long-term biochemical disease-free survival largely depends on his relative disease burden prior to undergoing the procedure, research suggests

High-dose prostate RT surpasses conventional dose in long-term outcome Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Superior long-term cancer control can be achieved in men with early-stage prostate cancer by treating them with high-dose conformal radiation therapy rather than conventional-dose conformal treatment, researchers report.

Relative disease burden predicts low PSA level after prostate cryoablation Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Whether a man undergoing prostate cryoablation achieves long-term biochemical disease-free survival largely depends on his relative disease burden prior to undergoing the procedure, research suggests

Accelerated, hypofractionated radiation therapy successfully treats breast cancer Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST An intense 3-week course of radiation therapy is just as effective as the standard 5-week regimen for women with early-stage breast cancer, Canadian research shows.

Long-term DHEA therapy reduces beneficial HDL particles in elderly women Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Long-term dehydroepiandrosterone replacement therapy reduces high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the proportion of large, most beneficial HDL particles in elderly women, show study results.

Factors predicting erectile dysfunction in men with Type 2 diabetes clarified Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Poor glycemic control, presence of the metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia all increase the risk for erectile dysfunction in men with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

Childhood factors that increase risk for premature adult death elucidated Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Obesity, glucose intolerance, and hypertension in childhood are significantly associated with increased rates of premature death in adulthood, say researchers.

NAFLD increases risk for death among diabetes patients Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Individuals with Type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are at significantly increased risk for death compared with others with Type 2 diabetes, show study results.

Factors predicting erectile dysfunction in men with Type 2 diabetes clarified Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Poor glycemic control, presence of the metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia all increase the risk for erectile dysfunction in men with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

Childhood factors that increase risk for premature adult death elucidated Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Obesity, glucose intolerance, and hypertension in childhood are significantly associated with increased rates of premature death in adulthood, say researchers.

NT-proBNP-guided management improves outcome after HF hospitalization Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Study findings indicate that adding N-terminal pro-B-type-natriuretic-peptide-guided intensive patient management to multidisciplinary care improves clinical outcome in patients who have been hospitalized with heart failure.

Migraine with and without aura linked to CV risk increases Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Both migraine with and without aura are associated with cardiovascular risk factors and with increased risk for myocardial infarction, researchers report.

Accelerated, hypofractionated radiation therapy successfully treats breast cancer Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST An intense 3-week course of radiation therapy is just as effective as the standard 5-week regimen for women with early-stage breast cancer, Canadian research shows.
