Antipsychotic treatment increases regional synchronous neural activity Posted: 04 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Antipsychotic treatment is associated with increased regional synchronous neural activity and decreased integration of function across widely distributed neural networks in patients with first-episode schizophrenia, researchers report.

Cannabis use linked to earlier age at schizophrenia and bipolar disorder onset Posted: 04 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A lifetime history of cannabis use is associated with an earlier age at disease onset among patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, researchers have found.

Atorvastatin therapy may have antithrombotic effect in Type 1 diabetes Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Atorvastatin increases fibrin network permeability and may therefore have an antithrombotic effect in patients with Type 1 diabetes, a Swedish study suggests.

Intercurrent boost offers alternative radiotherapy approach in early breast cancer Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT An intercurrent radiation boost reduces radiation-induced morbidity without affecting local tumor control, a study of patients undergoing treatment for early-stage breast cancer has shown.

Five new susceptibility loci identified for prostate cancer in Japanese population Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Genome-wide association studies involving Japanese participants have revealed five new prostate cancer susceptibility loci, highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of disease susceptibility among different populations, say the researchers.

Asthma and asthma medications linked to prostate cancer risk Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Australian study findings show that men with a history of asthma, and those who have used asthma medications, particularly systemic glucocorticoids, are at increased risk for developing prostate cancer.

Atorvastatin therapy may have antithrombotic effect in Type 1 diabetes Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Atorvastatin increases fibrin network permeability and may therefore have an antithrombotic effect in patients with Type 1 diabetes, a Swedish study suggests.

Atorvastatin therapy may have antithrombotic effect in Type 1 diabetes Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Atorvastatin increases fibrin network permeability and may therefore have an antithrombotic effect in patients with Type 1 diabetes, a Swedish study suggests.

Waist size and weight predict Type 2 diabetes risk in people with IFG Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Increases in waist circumference and body weight over time elevate the risk for Type 2 diabetes in people with impaired fasting glucose, report researchers in the journal Diabetes Care.

Simple risk score predicts restenosis after DES implantation Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have developed a simple risk score based on six readily available clinical and angiographic variables that can help identify patients' risk for target lesion revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.

Neuropsychological status of children unaffected by heart bypass surgery Posted: 03 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children who have cardiopulmonary bypass during reparative surgery for acyanotic congenital heart disease do not experience neuropsychological impairment 6 months postoperatively, US researchers suggest.
