Simple model improves VTE prediction in cancer patients Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT A simple scoring system based on clinical and laboratory parameters enables clinicians to identify cancer patients who have an increased risk for developing venous thromboembolism, study findings indicate.

Reducing BP to normal limits may attenuate ICH growth Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Rapid reduction of blood pressure to within the bounds of normotension may best reduce hematoma growth in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, shows further analysis of INTERACT.

Factors linked to antidepressant treatment during mania identified Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT In bipolar disorder patients with mania, those with mixed episodes, anxiety, or rapid cycling, as well as individuals at high risk for depression relapse, are more likely to receive antidepressants than other patients with the mood disorder, researchers have found.

Yoga may improve emotion recognition in schizophrenia patients Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Yoga therapy may benefit schizophrenia patients in terms of facial emotion recognition, which may lead to improved socio-occupational functioning, say Indian researchers.

Infliximab reduces nail psoriasis Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Infliximab is effective for reducing nail lesions in patients with psoriasis, study findings show.

Insurance status linked to prostate cancer severity in USA Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Uninsured or Medicaid-insured prostate cancer patients in the USA have a higher risk for advanced disease than privately insured patients, say US researchers.

Support for women with secondary breast cancer ‘inadequate’ Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The provision of breast care nursing for women with secondary breast cancer is inadequate in the UK, although many health professionals are aware of the issue and are beginning to address it, research indicates.

Insurance status linked to prostate cancer severity in USA Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Uninsured or Medicaid-insured prostate cancer patients in the USA have a higher risk for advanced disease than privately insured patients, say US researchers.

Factor differentiating PAK and LM/LMM lesions identified Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Differentiating between pigmented actinic keratoses and lentigo maligna or lentigo malign melanoma presents a "diagnostic challenge," say researchers, who found that only black blotches were not common to all three conditions.

‘Cholesterol paradox’ explanation in AMI proposed Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The "cholesterol paradox" in patients with acute myocardial infarction may be due to baseline characteristics that impact on survival, researchers report.

Oxidation-specific biomarkers and Lp(a) linked with CAD events Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Oxidation-specific biomarkers are strongly associated with coronary events and can be a useful adjunct to traditional risk factors or the Framingham Risk Score in predicting future events among initially healthy people, researchers say.

Nitric oxide synthesis reduced in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes and nephropathy show reduced blood nitric oxide production and a defective NO response to insulin compared with healthy, non-diabetics, study results show.

Diabetic foot has immuno-inflammatory basis Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes and associated foot ulceration have elevated levels of plasma interleukin-6 and resistin, coupled with diminished adiponectin relative to their diabetic peers with no foot complications, research shows.

“Distressed” Type D personality may raise CVD risk Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Cardiovascular disease patients with a "distressed" Type D personality may have an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, Dutch researchers suggest.

Improved CV outcomes with ticagrelor amplified in CKD patients Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT A subanalysis of the PLATO trial suggests that the benefits of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in the management of acute coronary syndrome are evident in patients with impaired renal function.

Support for women with secondary breast cancer ‘inadequate’ Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The provision of breast care nursing for women with secondary breast cancer is inadequate in the UK, although many health professionals are aware of the issue and are beginning to address it, research indicates.
