Remitted bipolar disorder patients have ‘normal’ reactivity to daily events Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Dutch study suggest that mood reactions to daily events are similar between bipolar disorder patients who have achieved remission and mental healthy individuals.

Cognitive deterioration does not occur during first psychotic episode Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Cognitive function does not deteriorate during the first episode of psychosis, say Dutch researchers in findings that suggest cognitive impairment, particularly in the domain of verbal memory, is present before this time.

Celiac patients have similar colorectal neoplasia risk to general population Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study findings confirm that celiac disease patients have a similar risk for colorectal cancer to the general population.

Celiac patients have similar colorectal neoplasia risk to general population Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study findings confirm that celiac disease patients have a similar risk for colorectal cancer to the general population.

Subsegmental pulmonary embolism may not be clinically relevant Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Multiple-detectors computed tomographic pulmonary angiography increases the proportion of patients diagnosed with subsegmental pulmonary embolism without changing the 3-month risk for venous thromboembolism, suggesting that the disease may not be clinically relevant, researchers report.

Risk factors for small intracranial aneurysm rupture identified Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Japanese researchers recommend that patients under the age of 50 years with hypertension and multiple intracranial aneurysms of at least 4 mm in diameter should be considered for treatment to prevent rupture at a later date.

Computer-based decisional aid improves men’s prostate cancer screening knowledge Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A computer-based decision aid offered at the workplace can significantly improve men's knowledge and decision-making ability regarding prostate cancer screening, show US study results.

FASN inhibition could reduce prostate cancer mortality in overweight men Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT US research results suggest that overexpression of fatty acid synthase in tumors could increase prostate cancer-specific mortality, particularly in overweight and obese men.

Nicotine directly linked to breast cancer development Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The alpha 9 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is overexpressed in breast cancer cells, suggesting that nicotine could directly contribute to the molecular mechanism of breast cancer development, researchers report.

Central obesity highlights adolescent CVD risk factors Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Central adiposity predicts the presence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents, say German researchers.

<i>APOA5</i> variant influences impact of diet and exercise on lipid levels Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT A variant in the apolipoprotein A5 gene influences the effects of a dietary intervention and exercise program on target lipid levels, research suggests

CV event and death risk with rosiglitazone similar to pioglitazone Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients taking rosiglitazone have a similar risk for acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and all-cause mortality as patients taking pioglitazone, US researchers suggest.

Diabetes may speed up progression of mild cognitive impairment Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The presence of diabetes in patients with mild cognitive impairment can accelerate progression to dementia by more than 3 years, a Swedish study suggests.

CV event and death risk with rosiglitazone similar to pioglitazone Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients taking rosiglitazone have a similar risk for acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and all-cause mortality as patients taking pioglitazone, US researchers suggest.

SHIFT: Heart failure risk significantly reduced with ivabradine Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT The risk for cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure is significantly reduced with ivabradine in moderate to severe chronic HF patients with left ventricular dysfunction, results from the SHIFT study indicate.

PEARL HF: RLY5016 reduces serum potassium in HF patients with CKD Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from the phase IIb PEARL HF study show that treatment with RLY5016 leads to significant reductions in serum potassium and hyperkalemia for patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
