Obesity common in teens with serious mental illnesses Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents with serious mental health disorders are at increased risk for being overweight and obese, research shows.

Prenatal smoke exposure linked to mental health disorders Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke is associated with an increased risk for psychiatric disorders in adolescence and young adulthood, researchers have found.

Crohn’s disease complications common soon after diagnosis Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Nearly one in five patients with Crohn's disease will experience penetrating or structuring complications within 90 days of diagnosis, US research suggests.

Fragment embolization rates high for Bard vena cava filters Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Bard retrievable vena cava filters have a high prevalence of fracture and embolization, with potentially life threatening consequences, US researchers report.

Intervention rare for thrombolysis-associated ICH Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT About 40% of patients with thrombolysis-associated intracerebral hemorrhage have ongoing bleeding at the time of diagnosis, shows US research.

Mechanism of curcumin prostate cancer suppression revealed Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Curcumin may play a role in inhibiting androgen expression in prostate cancer cells by downregulating the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, the results of a preliminary study indicate.

Chromogranin A expression linked to prostate cancer biochemical failure Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Chromogranin A polymorphisms and expression and endothelin-1 expression are both linked to prostate cancer risk, with expression of chromogranin A also predicting biochemical failure, say Japanese researchers.

<i>POLQ</i> overexpression linked to breast cancer relapse Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have discovered that overexpression of the DNA polymerase theta gene is associated with a substantially increased risk for breast cancer relapse.

Mediterranean diet linked to improved glycemic control Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A diet based on the traditional Mediterranean diet can improve glycemic control without causing weight gain in patients with well-controlled diabetes, an Australian study suggests.

Plasma folate tallies with lipid levels Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT People with high plasma folate levels are likely to have a favorable lipid profile, research suggests.

Genetic studies bolster understanding of lipid regulation Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Two major research studies published in the journal Nature offer important new insights into the regulation of blood lipoproteins and identify potential targets for drug development.

Mediterranean diet linked to improved glycemic control Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A diet based on the traditional Mediterranean diet can improve glycemic control without causing weight gain in patients with well-controlled diabetes, an Australian study suggests.

Type 2 diabetes prevalence linked to socio-economic inequality in women Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in England over recent years is linked to greater socio-economic inequality in women, but not men, report UK researchers.

Acupuncture may benefit HF patients Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Acupuncture may be an additional way to improve exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure, research suggests.

Own valve trumps donor valve for aortic valve replacement Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Using patients' own pulmonary valves rather than aortic valves from deceased donors improves their long-term survival and quality of life after aortic valve replacement, report UK researchers.
