| Diabetes risk factor for swine flu hospitalization Posted: 25 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from an influenza surveillance project in Canada show that patients with diabetes who become infected with the pandemic influenza A virus are at significantly greater risk for hospitalization and intensive care unit admission than those without diabetes. |
| Dissimilar risk factors for asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, atopic eczema indicated Posted: 25 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a study of teenagers in five Canadian cities show distinct geographical differences in prevalence rates of asthma (wheezing), allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic eczema. |
| FEV<sub>25-75</sub> identifies airflow dysfunction in asthmatic children with normal FEV<sub>1</sub> Posted: 25 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Assessment of forced expiratory flow at between 25% and 75% of vital capacity may help identify airflow obstruction in asthmatic children with normal FEV1 values, say researchers. |
| Gastric mucosa in upper esophagus frequent but rarely problematic Posted: 25 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Around 10% of patients who undergo endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract have at least one heterotopic gastric mucosa, a more frequent rate than previously reported, study results show. |
| Management of CV risk factors possible in schizophrenia patients Posted: 22 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia are at increased risk for cardiovascular risk factors, and they access the primary healthcare system as frequently as someone without the mental health disorder, study findings show. |
| Drug delivery patch effective for flu vaccination Posted: 22 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT A drug delivery patch that contains dissolving microneedles is effective for influenza vaccination and offers a viable and painless alternative to traditional hypodermic needles, say researchers. |
| No harm from relaxed antihypertensive strategy in acute stroke Posted: 22 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Stopping pre-existing antihypertensive treatment for 2 weeks after an acute stroke does not appear to harm patients, show the results of the COSSACS trial. |
| Benefit of telephone intervention in HF persists for 3 years Posted: 22 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT A telephone intervention in patients with heart failure reduces the rate of death and hospitalization, an effect which persists for up to 3 years, report Argentine researchers in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. |
| Gender affects immediate memory in bipolar I disorder Posted: 22 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Gender differences in bipolar I disorder are associated with memory function and may contribute to poor functional outcome particularly in men, UK researchers report. |
| Psychosis susceptibility gene linked to patients with spared cognition Posted: 21 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT A variant of the Zinc Finger Protein 804A gene is implicated in schizophrenia susceptibility, but its association may be specific to individuals with relatively spared cognitive ability, study findings show. |
| Parental education influences flu vaccination rates in students Posted: 21 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Parental education levels are significantly associated with influenza vaccination rates among university students, research shows. |
| Sleep apnea associated with HF and CHD in men Posted: 21 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Men with obstructive sleep apnea have a greater risk for heart failure and coronary heart disease than women with the breathing disorder, a US study reports. |
| Comorbid alcohol use disorders increase bipolar suicide risk Posted: 21 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder are more than twice as likely to experience suicidal behavior if they also have alcohol use disorders, survey findings show. |
| Altered hippocampal lipid profile in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder Posted: 20 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT The postmortem brains of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder show an altered phospholipid profile, namely a decrease in omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, study results show. |
| Alcohol use may not worsen bipolar disorder outcomes Posted: 20 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Neither moderate nor excessive alcohol consumption has a negative effect on illness course or outcome in patients with bipolar disorder, study results suggest. |
| Altered hippocampal lipid profile in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder Posted: 20 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT The postmortem brains of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder show an altered phospholipid profile, namely a decrease in omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, study results show. |
| Family history impacts onset and presentation of schizophrenia Posted: 19 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patients with a family history of psychosis tend to have an earlier age of onset and more severe negative symptoms than their peers with no such history, show results from a meta-analysis. |
| US FDA vote to keep rosiglitazone on the market Posted: 19 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT A US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee has voted to keep the Type 2 diabetes drug rosiglitazone on the market, but suggested that the labeling needs to be changed to include increased warnings. |
| High risk criteria validated for bipolar disorder Posted: 19 Jul 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have developed criteria to identify young people at high risk for developing bipolar disorder, based on detecting a combination of sub-threshold mania, depressive symptoms, cyclothymic features, and genetic risk. |
