| ICS and LABA treatment not linked to pneumonia in COPD Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonists, either alone or in combination, is not associated with a significantly increased risk for pneumonia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, research shows. |
| Medication adherence poor in COPD patients Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Adherence to respiratory medications is poor among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, say researchers who suggest that measures such as simplification of dosing regimens should be implemented where possible. |
| Sinusitis with nasal polyps linked to increased NO levels Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST The presence of nasal polyps in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis is associated with increased exhaled nitric oxide levels, study results show. |
| Psychiatric disorders vary in underlying serotonin pathology Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia display a diminished loudness dependence of the auditory evoked potential relative to mentally healthy controls, study results show. |
| New celiac disease-specific quality of life questionnaire developed Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers have developed a new instrument specifically for measuring quality of life in patients with celiac disease. |
| Optimal anticoagulation unclear for aSTEMI patients with impaired LVEF Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Trial findings suggest that triple antiplatelet therapy does not have clear benefits over dual therapy for patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction following anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction. |
| Premature parental stroke raises offspring’s risk Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST People's risk for stroke is more than doubled if one of their parents had a stroke before the age of 65 years, show data from the Framingham Study. |
| Reovirus shows potential as therapeutic approach in prostate cancer Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Reovirus therapy may provide a promising novel treatment for prostate cancer, researchers report. |
| Reovirus shows potential as therapeutic approach in prostate cancer Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Reovirus therapy may provide a promising novel treatment for prostate cancer, researchers report. |
| Tamoxifen use negatively affects cognitive functioning Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Tamoxifen use is associated with worse verbal memory and executive functioning after 1 year of adjuvant therapy, researchers from the Netherlands report. |
| Sustained LDL inhibition may contribute to dialysis PAD benefits Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Sustained inhibition of low-density lipoprotein may contribute to long-term benefits in dialysis patients with peripheral arterial disease who respond to apheresis, Japanese researchers suggest. |
| Adipose-secreted signals associated with different clinical BP phenotypes Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Normal blood pressure and white-coat hypertension are associated with a more favorable circulating adipokine pattern than masked or sustained hypertension, Greek researchers report. |
| No association between thiazolidinedione exposure and DME Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Exposure to thiazolidinediones is not associated with increased risk for diabetic macular edema in patients with Type 2 diabetes, suggest study results. |
| Switch to insulin therapy does not reduce rate of UTIs in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST There is no evidence that switching from oral treatment to insulin therapy reduces the high rate of urinary tract infections in patients with Type 2 diabetes, say researchers. |
| PPIs linked to reduced platelet function in patients with CAD Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Proton pump inhibitors may reduce the benefits of aspirin in patients with coronary artery disease, researchers from Denmark report. |
| Salt tax could massively reduce US mortality rates, healthcare costs Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST A nationwide tax on sodium could save over a million life years and billions of dollars, results of a US cost-analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine indicate. |
| Tamoxifen use negatively affects cognitive functioning Posted: 10 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Tamoxifen use is associated with worse verbal memory and executive functioning after 1 year of adjuvant therapy, researchers from the Netherlands report. |
| CI adversely affects postop prognosis in patients with prostate cancer Posted: 09 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Capsular incision adversely affects the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer who have undergone radical perineal prostatectomy, researchers report. |
| Prostate cancer treatment choice varies with type of specialist consulted Posted: 09 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST The prostate cancer treatment a man chooses depends greatly on the type of specialists he consults, researchers report. |
| Polymorphisms in drug metabolizers and transporters reduce tamoxifen efficacy Posted: 09 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Genetic polymorphisms in the genes encoding cytochrome P450 2D6 and the adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette C2 transporter may be important predictors for the clinical outcome of tamoxifen treatment for patients with breast cancer, researchers report. |
| Sarcosine fails as marker for prostate cancer detection Posted: 08 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with and without prostate cancer cannot be differentiated by the levels of sarcosine in their urine following rectal digital examination, researchers report. |
| Fall in breast cancer incidence reflects decreased HRT use Posted: 08 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST The incidence of invasive breast cancer in peri- and postmenopausal women fell in Scotland following a striking decrease in the use of hormone replacement therapy, research shows. |
| <i>ERG/ETVI</i> and <i>PTEN</i> gene loci identify death risk in prostate cancer patients Posted: 07 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients at low and high risk for death from prostate cancer can be identified by the presence or absence of the phosphatase and tensin homolog gene and gene rearrangements in ERG/ETVI, researchers report. |
| Increasing hospital admission rate for complications after TRUS-guided biopsy Posted: 07 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST The hospital admission rates for complications following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy increased dramatically between 1996 and 2005 in Ontario, Canada, and this is primarily due to an increasing rate of infection-related complications, researchers report. |
| Breast cancer follow-up inconsistent Posted: 07 Mar 2010 04:00 PM PST Cancer specialists provide more consistent and comprehensive American Society of Clinical Oncology-recommended breast cancer follow-up care than primary care physicians, US research shows. |
