Vaginal delivery reduces the risk for endometriosis recurrence Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Italian research results demonstrate the positive role of vaginal delivery in reducing endometriosis recurrence and dysmenorrhea, suggesting a potential mechanism behind the association.

Dehydroepiandrosterone improves birth rate in IVF poor-responders Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients who have previously responded poorly to IVF may have improvements in future cycles if they take dehydroepiandrosterone before treatment, say researchers.

BMI and smoking constraints may improve IVF outcomes Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Restricting publiclyfunded fertility treatment to nonsmoking women aged under 40 years with a body mass index under 32kg/m2 may result in improved outcomes, study results show.

Blastocyst quality and IVF/ICSI success decrease with age Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Blastocyst quality and pregnancy rates fall with increasing age among women undergoing during IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, report Japanese researchers.

Male infertility impacts family size more than female infertility Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Male factor infertility may play a larger role in determining family size than female infertility, show study results.

Children with newly diagnosed IBD have low vitamin D levels Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease have significantly lower vitamin D levels than those without the condition, show study results.

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.

Dyspnea relief should be key target for HF patients Posted: 26 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from the Pre-RELAX-AHF study suggest that relief from dyspnea in patients with acute heart failure is often incomplete and may lead to poor prognosis.

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.

Schizophrenia may be disorder of brain connectivity Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from an imaging study show that patients with schizophrenia have abnormalities in connective structures between the hippocampus and cortex, supporting the hypothesis that the disorder is associated with brain connectivity disruption.

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.

Anxiety linked to substance use problems in bipolar disorder Posted: 25 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder who suffer from anxiety are at increased risk for substance use disorders, research shows.

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.

Researchers suggest renin test to avoid pressor response to antihypertensives Posted: 24 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Beta blockers and ACE inhibitors can elevate the blood pressure of hypertensive patients with low plasma renin activity, US researchers report.

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.

Children at high schizophrenia risk have reduced cognition Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children at high risk for developing schizophrenia display poorer results on neurocognition testing in several domains than other children of similar age who are not at risk for the disorder, researchers have found.

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.

Metabolic profile poor in women with bipolar disorder Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Women with bipolar disorder have a worse metabolic profile than mentally healthy women, with a family history of diabetes significantly influencing metabolic variables in the former, but not the latter group, research shows.
