Smoking increases asthma attacks in pregnancy Posted: 14 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Asthma exacerbations are more frequent and severe in asthmatic pregnant women who smoke than in their nonsmoking counterparts, research shows.

AVF improves exercise capacity in severe COPD Posted: 14 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may benefit from an iliofemoral arteriovenous fistula, show researchers who found significant improvements in exercise capacity in those who had undergone the procedure.

Early cow’s milk allergy predicts airway hyperresponsiveness Posted: 14 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT The development of cow's milk allergy in early life is associated with a significantly increased risk for bronchial hyperresponsiveness in later childhood, research shows.

OC symptoms central clinical features of schizophrenia Posted: 14 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Obsessive–compulsive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia appear to be central to the clinical features of the condition and not a separate clinical condition, study findings suggest.

Sagittal abdominal diameter associated with atherogenic lipoprotein subfractions Posted: 13 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Sagittal abdominal diameter is more strongly associated with atherogenic lipoprotein subfractions than is waist circumference in middle-aged White and Japanese men, study findings suggest.

Three metabolic syndrome components predict its development Posted: 13 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Iranian researchers may have identified the three most important components of the metabolic syndrome that can predict development of the condition.

Balloon dilation relieves strictures in Crohn’s disease patients Posted: 13 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Crohn's disease patients may benefit from endoscopic balloon dilation of symptomatic disease strictures, offering an alternative to surgery that may be repeated in recurrent intestinal obstructions, say Italian researchers.
