Novel LMWH noninferior to UFH for PCI patients Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT A novel low molecular weight heparin offers at least comparable efficacy to unfractionated heparin for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, suggest results from the EMINENCE trial.

Family history and psoriasis severity predict psoriatic arthritis Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Psoriasis patients are at greater risk for psoriatic arthritis if they have a family history of psoriatic arthritis and a greater maximum body surface area affected by psoriasis, researchers report.

Zinc may prolong prostate cancer survival if disease is diagnosed early Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Preliminary study results show that men who are diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer could improve their chances of surviving the disease if they eat a diet rich in zinc.

Cold, wet weather may mean more pollution, more prostate cancer Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT US researchers report evidence suggesting that the higher prevalence of prostate cancer in northern territories of the USA is linked with meteorological factors.

Strategies needed to address breast cancer overdiagnoses Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Many breast cancers detected by screening tests are not destined to cause symptoms or death and therefore represent overdiagnosis, say researchers

Malabsorptive bariatric surgery has favorable impact on lipids Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Malabsorptive bariatric techniques appear to be more effective than restrictive techniques for the treatment of visceral obesity and its complications, researchers believe.

Added sugar intake linked to lipid levels Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT People's intake of added sugars is associated with their lipid profiles, shows an analysis of NHANES data.

Larger thighs linked to reduced risk for CAD in women with Type 1 diabetes Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Greater lower body adiposity is associated with reduced risk for coronary artery disease in women with Type 1 diabetes, say researchers.

Diabetics at increased risk for atrial fibrillation Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with diabetes have an increased risk for developing atrial fibrillation compared with the general population, report researchers who found that longer disease duration and worse glycemic control contributed to this risk.

Gamma-prime fibrinogen could help determine CAD risk Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT A test for plasma γ' fibrinogen levels can identify patients at risk for coronary artery disease, a study indicates.

Clopidogrel within 24 hours of surgery increases risk for transfusion, bleeding Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients receiving clopidogrel within 24 hours before undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk for transfusion and hemorrhagic complication, Canadian researchers report in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery.
