| Triple therapy may benefit patients with severe COPD Posted: 17 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who are undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation therapy and receiving salmeterol/fluticasone combination treatment may benefit from the addition of tiotropium, preliminary study findings suggest. |
| WTC responders still at risk for persistent respiratory symptoms Posted: 17 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST New York State workers who responded to the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks on 11 September 2001 were at increased risk for persistent lower respiratory symptoms at least 5 years after the event, US study results show. |
| Evidence for effectiveness of flu vaccination in elderly of ‘poor quality’ Posted: 17 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Evidence for the safety and efficacy of influenza vaccination in people aged 65 years and older is of poor quality, results from a systematic review show. |
| Schizophrenia auditory gating deficits linked to auditory hallucinations Posted: 17 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Schizophrenia patients have impaired auditory gating responses to human voices in the left hemisphere, with greater deficits linked to more severe auditory hallucinations, reflecting a sensory overload effect, , Japanese findings suggest. |
| Brief measure assesses bipolar disorder and schizophrenia functioning Posted: 17 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Functioning across a range of domains can be assessed in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients using a brief performance-based measure, say US and Canadian researchers. |
| More low-risk UK prostate cancer patients taking up AS protocols Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST More men in the UK with low-risk prostate cancer are joining active surveillance protocols in recent years, according to a study which assessed the impact of national guidelines on the management of low-risk disease. |
| MRI does not reduce breast cancer reoperation rate Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Adding magnetic resonance imaging scans to conventional triple assessment techniques for breast cancer diagnosis does not affect the reoperation rate after wide local excision, UK research shows. |
| Lifestyle intervention better than metformin for lowering obesity in young women Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST An intensive lifestyle intervention program is more effective for promoting weight loss in young women than treatment with metformin, show study results. |
| Statin diabetes risk outweighed by benefits Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a meta-analysis show that statin treatment is associated with a small but significant increase in the risk for Type 2 diabetes. |
| Further development of taranabant stopped due to adverse effects Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a phase III study of the cannabinoid-1 receptor agonist taranabant show that despite its efficacy for weight loss, the number and degree of reported adverse effects do not support its further development to treat obesity. |
| Research needed on effects of pre-existing diabetes on prostate cancer prognosis Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a systematic review suggest that pre-existing diabetes could affect the prognosis of prostate cancer patients and highlights the need for more research. |
| Statin diabetes risk outweighed by benefits Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a meta-analysis show that statin treatment is associated with a small but significant increase in the risk for Type 2 diabetes. |
| Implantable cardiac monitor reliably detects AF Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST A novel, subcutaneous implantable leadless cardiac monitor with a dedicated algorithm for detecting atrial fibrillation reliably detected presence or absence of the arrhythmia and accurately quantified atrial fibrillation burden, report researchers. |
| Genetic risk score does not improve CV risk prediction Posted: 16 Feb 2010 04:00 PM PST A genetic risk score comprising multiple genetic markers associated with cardiovascular disease did not improve risk prediction when added to standard risk prediction models in a study of nearly 20,000 women. |
