Diesel pollution may not cause airway inflammation in asthmatics Posted: 19 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that exposure to levels of diesel pollution found at the roadside causes a significant inflammatory response in the airways of healthy individuals, but not in those of asthma patients.

Celiac patients at increased risk for influenza hospital admission Posted: 19 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with celiac disease are at higher risk for being admitted to hospital with influenza than individuals without the condition, say researchers.

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.

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.

Insight predicts clinical course in first episode psychosis Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Insight is a significant predictor of general clinical course in patients with a first episode of psychosis, research shows.

Poor response to darbepoetin alfa linked to elevated adverse events seen in TREAT Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from an analysis of the TREAT study suggest that diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease and moderate anemia who had a poor response to the anemia drug darbepoetin alfa were more likely to have an adverse cardiovascular outcome than those with a better response, despite receiving a higher mean dose.

Mixed first mood episodes predict increased morbidity in BD Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder with an initial mixed mood episode experience greater levels of morbidity over subsequent months than those with an initial episode of mania.

Cannabis use ‘does not have negative cognitive effects in schizophrenia patients’ Posted: 14 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Cannabis use is not associated with negative cognitive effects in schizophrenia patients, say Spanish researchers who found that cannabis users comprised a subgroup of schizophrenia patients with greater cognitive function and premorbid adjustment.

Schizoaffective disorder ‘a valid diagnosis in early psychosis’ Posted: 14 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Schizoaffective disorder is a valid diagnosis in the early phase of psychotic conditions and defines a subgroup of patients with first episode psychotic mania.

Birth weight linked to mental illness risk Posted: 13 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT A low birth weight is associated with an increased risk for schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, research shows.

Metabolites in early pregnancy linked to increased pre-eclampsia risk Posted: 13 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Measuring women's plasma metabolite levels during early pregnancy may help to identify those at risk for developing pre-eclampsia, researchers report.

Depressive and manic symptoms “not opposite poles in BD” Posted: 13 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Depression and mania are independent symptoms and do not occupy opposite poles of the same dimension in bipolar disorder, research suggests.
