IVC filter plus long-term anticoagulation gives ‘acceptable prognosis’ Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients who receive long-term anticoagulation and regular examinations following a permanent inferior vena cava filter have an acceptable prognosis, study findings suggest.

Circulating HGF levels linked to stroke risk in postmenopausal women Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Circulating levels of hepatocyte growth factor are associated with an increased risk for incident ischemic stroke in postmenopausal women, independent of obesity and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, researchers report.

Childhood-onset psoriasis does not influence disease severity Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT The age at which people develop psoriasis does not appear to have a big impact on the subsequent course of the disease, study findings indicate.

Biochemical recurrence-free survival rates differ significantly for LRP patients Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer have significantly worse 5-year survival rates if treated with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy rather than other treatment modalities, research findings show.

Low baseline serum testosterone does not affect ADT or EBRT outcome Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT A low baseline serum testosterone level does not affect the outcome of androgen deprivation therapy and external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer, US researchers report.

Contralateral breast cancer risk high among <i>BRCA1</i>/<i>BRCA2</i> mutation carriers Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Women who carry a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation have a considerable risk for subsequent contralateral breast cancer following a primary breast cancer diagnosis early in life, study findings indicate.

Biochemical recurrence-free survival rates differ significantly for LRP patients Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer have significantly worse 5-year survival rates if treated with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy rather than other treatment modalities, research findings show.

Low baseline serum testosterone does not affect ADT or EBRT outcome Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT A low baseline serum testosterone level does not affect the outcome of androgen deprivation therapy and external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer, US researchers report.

Absolute LDL reduction is key to risk reduction with statins Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Absolute rather than relative reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are the most clinically relevant outcome associated with lipid-lowering therapy, US researchers believe.

HDL proteomic signature could aid CAD diagnosis Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT High-density lipoprotein particles in people with coronary artery disease show a characteristic proteomic signature, US researchers have discovered.

Older age predicts abnormal CV response to exercise in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Older age predicts an abnormal cardiovascular response to a maximal graded exercise test in overweight/obese, middle-aged Type 2 diabetics, report US researchers.

Telmisartan blood pressure lowering blunted by salt supplementation Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Supplementation with salt reduces the blood pressure-lowering capacity of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist telmisartan in patients with Type 2 diabetes regardless of habitual salt intake, report investigators.

Model can predict PCI mortality risk Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have used registry data to develop a risk model based on preprocedural and angiographic factors that can accurately predict early mortality risk following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Socioeconomic position influences survival after cardiac surgery Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients of low socioeconomic position have increased risk-adjusted mortality after cardiac surgery, which may at least partly explain racial and gender disparities in survival, shows a US study.

Contralateral breast cancer risk high among <i>BRCA1</i>/<i>BRCA2</i> mutation carriers Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Women who carry a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation have a considerable risk for subsequent contralateral breast cancer following a primary breast cancer diagnosis early in life, study findings indicate.
