| Cannabis use plus childhood trauma greatly increase childhood psychosis risk Posted: 26 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A combination of cannabis use and childhood trauma increases the risk for psychotic symptoms in adolescence to a greater extent than would be expected from the additive effect of these two risk factors alone, researchers have found. |
| Manic episodes linked to grey matter reduction in bipolar disorder Posted: 26 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Scandinavian researchers have found significant correlation between the number of manic episodes experienced and the extent of grey matter volume reduction in patients with bipolar disorder. |
| Children with celiac disease have high levels of oxidative DNA damage Posted: 26 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children with celiac disease have higher than normal levels of the oxidative DNA damage biomarkers urinary 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGua, regardless of their diet, report researchers. |
| Children with celiac disease have high levels of oxidative DNA damage Posted: 26 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children with celiac disease have higher than normal levels of the oxidative DNA damage biomarkers urinary 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGua, regardless of their diet, report researchers. |
| Thromboembolic risk factors determined in patients with atrial fibrillation Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Advanced age, low left atrial appendage velocity, and variation in the Factor V gene predict left atrial thrombosis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, researchers report. |
| Antagonistic personality linked to arterial thickening Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT People who are antagonistic towards others have greater increases in carotid artery thickening over time than their more agreeable peers, researchers report. |
| Urine protein test represents novel biomarker for prostate cancer Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have identified a novel urinary biomarker for the detection of prostate cancer. |
| Careful patient selection for active surveillance reduces treatment need Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients are unlikely to require definitive treatment after undergoing active surveillance if they are selected on the basis of strict low-risk criteria, suggest US researchers. |
| Urine protein test represents novel biomarker for prostate cancer Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have identified a novel urinary biomarker for the detection of prostate cancer. |
| Careful patient selection for active surveillance reduces treatment need Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients are unlikely to require definitive treatment after undergoing active surveillance if they are selected on the basis of strict low-risk criteria, suggest US researchers. |
| Purification of BRCA2 protein allows understanding of its role in DNA repair Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT By purifying the breast cancer type 2 protein, researchers have established that it enhances the functions of the RecA homolog, E. coli protein, which is essential for recombinational repair of DNA breaks. |
| Gene expression in adipose tissue linked with metabolic traits Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Dutch researchers have identified a number of genes that are differentially expressed in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, and are associated with blood lipid levels. |
| Switching to less potent statin after ACS linked to adverse outcomes Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with acute coronary syndromes who switch from intensive to moderate statin therapy are at increased risk for mortality, repeat myocardial infarction, and stroke, a study suggests. |
| Mitral valve surgery linked to improved glucose metabolism Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients who undergo surgical intervention for mitral valve disease may experience improvements in glucose metabolism and insulin resistance due to a reduction in atrial natriuretic peptide and free fatty acid levels, Italian researchers suggest. |
| Leisure-time physical activity protects against Type 2 diabetes long term Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Regular, moderate-to-high levels of leisure-time physical activity have a significant protective effect against Type 2 diabetes in the long term, show study results. |
| Dark chocolate linked to reduced heart failure risk Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Middle-aged and elderly women who consume moderate amounts of high-cocoa-content-chocolate have a reduced risk for heart failure, study findings suggest. |
| Heart failure treatment delays vary widely Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Delays in the time to treatment – from symptom onset to hospital admission – vary widely for patients with heart failure, say the authors of a literature review published in the European Journal of Heart Failure. |
| Purification of BRCA2 protein allows understanding of its role in DNA repair Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT By purifying the breast cancer type 2 protein, researchers have established that it enhances the functions of the RecA homolog, E. coli protein, which is essential for recombinational repair of DNA breaks. |
| Initial treatment choice influences overall cost of prostate cancer Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The financial costs of treatment for prostate cancer vary according to the initial treatment that patients receive, report researchers, who add that the impact lasts beyond the short-term costs. |
| Reduced survival for HER2, estrogen receptor positive breast cancer Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The association of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positivity with poor breast cancer prognosis is confined to patients that also have positive lymph nodes and estrogen receptor status, results of a UK population based study 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. |
| Familial prostate cancer risk influenced by screening awareness Posted: 22 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Men with first-degree relatives who have prostate cancer are more likely to undergo prostate-specific antigen screening than those with no family history, report researchers who believe that the finding may bias the results of genetic studies investigating familial prostate cancer risk. |
| Loading, high-dose fulvestrant regimens do not improve efficacy Posted: 22 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Increasing the approved dose of fulvestrant does not appear to improve the efficacy of treatment for recurrent breast cancer, results of a phase II clinical trial indicate. |
