Immune responses in pregnancy linked to schizophrenia risk in offspring Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Maternal inflammatory responses to infection during pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for schizophrenia in children, study results suggest.

Subclinical depression common in remitted bipolar disorder patients Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Subclinical depression symptoms are common in patients with bipolar disorder who have achieved clinical remission and are associated with poorer functional status and social adjustment, Spanish researchers have found.

Fecal occult blood test results for CRC detection vary by gender Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The results of fecal occult blood testing for colorectal cancer detection vary significantly between men and women, report researchers who say clinicians should take this into account when interpreting test results.

Fecal occult blood test results for CRC detection vary by gender Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The results of fecal occult blood testing for colorectal cancer detection vary significantly between men and women, report researchers who say clinicians should take this into account when interpreting test results.

Pulmonary embolism increases future subarachnoid hemorrhage risk Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with pulmonary embolism have an increased long-term risk for subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage, compared with the general population, study findings indicate.

Hypothermia during craniotomy not associated with CV events Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Peri-operative hypothermia does not increase the risk for cardiovascular events in patients undergoing surgery for cerebral aneurysm, study results show.

Bcl-2 protein expression could indicate prostate resistance to radiotherapy Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with prostate tumors that express the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 experience a shorter time to biochemical failure after radiotherapy compared with men whose tumors do not express the protein, study results show.

Prostate length predicts urinary problems after brachytherapy Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The length of a man's prostate could help predict the likelihood of him experiencing urinary problems after receiving brachytherapy for prostate cancer, report researchers.

Hormone receptor status predicts response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Breast cancer hormone receptor status predicts total and breast pathologic complete response rates after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, US researchers report.

Aggregated electronegative LDL properties linked with atherogenesis Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A Spanish study has revealed properties in aggregated electronegative low-density lipoprotein that suggest it could play a major role in atherogenesis.

Insurance status influences hypercholesterolemia, hypertension treatment Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Hypercholesterolemia and hypertension are less likely to be treated or controlled in US citizens if they do not have health insurance, researchers report.

Type 2 diabetes patients have increased risk for depression Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that patients with Type 2 diabetes are significantly more likely to develop depression than nondiabetic individuals.

High HbA1c increases MI risk in diabetics Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that poor blood glucose control increases the risk for myocardial infarction irrespective of other cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes, and patient ethnicity.

High birth weight linked to increased AF risk in women Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Girls with a high birth weight are at increased risk for developing atrial fibrillation in later life, suggest results from the Women's Health Study.

Heart surgery infection risk not improved by implanted antibiotic sponges Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Implanting two gentamicin-collagen sponges between a patient's sternal halves at surgical closure does not reduce the 90-day risk for wound infection in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery, US researchers report.

Risk factors for multiple BCCs identified Posted: 19 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that younger age, red hair color, and a high level of education are all associated with increased risk for developing multiple basal cell carcinomas.
