Long-term LABA treatment ‘does not increase CV events in COPD’ Posted: 15 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Long-term treatment with long-acting β2-agonists does not increase the risk for cardiovascular events in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, research suggests.

Adult asthmatics at increased risk for pneumococcal infection Posted: 15 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that adult asthmatics of working age are at significantly greater risk for invasive pneumococcal infection than the general population.

Group C human rhinoviruses implicated in most childhood asthma attacks Posted: 15 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT More than half of asthma attacks in children are associated with group C human rhinoviruses, results from an Australian study suggest.

Group C human rhinoviruses implicated in most childhood asthma attacks Posted: 15 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT More than half of asthma attacks in children are associated with group C human rhinoviruses, results from an Australian study suggest.

Laparoscopic surgery ‘feasible and safe’ for pediatric UC patients Posted: 15 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Laparoscopic surgery is appropriate and well-tolerated for children with ulcerative colitis who require colectomy, protectomy, or ileoanal pouch surgery, say researchers.

Brain regions linked to poor insight in first-onset psychosis confirmed Posted: 12 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a UK study indicate that the cingulate gyrus and the right precuneus/cuneus areas of the brain are involved in poor insight among patients with a first-onset psychosis.

Risk factors predicting subthreshold expression of bipolar psychopathology identified Posted: 12 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Different risk factors are associated with the onset and persistence of subthreshold mania and depression symptoms in young people, researchers have found.

Schizophrenia and smoking linked to reduced white matter integrity Posted: 11 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a US study show that schizophrenia and smoking are independently and additively associated with reduced white matter integrity between the striatum and the frontal cortex.

Verbal memory intrusions impact self-reflection and reasoning in schizophrenia Posted: 11 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Verbal memory intrusions are associated with reduced self-reflectivity and more thought disorganization in patients with schizophrenia, researchers have found.

Healthcare exposure, age linked to infective endocarditis Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from an Australian study show that healthcare-associated infective endocarditis is becoming an increasing problem.

Allopurinol therapy improves HF outcomes in patients with gout Posted: 10 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Continuous treatment with allopurinol for hyperuricemia is associated with a reduced risk for hospital re-admission or death in patients with heart failure and gout, show study findings.

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.

Smoking may delay full onset of schizophrenia Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with schizophrenia who are current or ex-cigarette smokers may be older at the onset of symptoms than their peers who have never smoked, study results show.

<i>GST</i> polymorphisms linked to early-onset bipolar disorder Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Polymorphisms in genes encoding glutathione S-transferase detoxification enzymes modify risk for developing early-onset bipolar disorder, study results show.

<i>GST</i> polymorphisms linked to early-onset bipolar disorder Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Polymorphisms in genes encoding glutathione S-transferase detoxification enzymes modify risk for developing early-onset bipolar disorder, study results show.
