Fondaparinux feasible for superficial-vein thrombosis in the legs Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The anticoagulant fondaparinux can be used to effectively treat superficial-vein thrombosis of the leg, results of a multinational study have shown.

Two-thirds of stroke patients fail to benefit from intravenous thrombolysis Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Less than a third of stroke patients treated in clinical practice achieve recanalization with intravenous thrombolysis, say researchers who call for "timely" endovascular intervention.

Dead Sea salt bath boosts UVB benefits in psoriasis Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with psoriasis undergoing phototherapy achieve larger improvements in their condition if they simultaneously bathe in a Dead Sea salt solution, shows a randomized trial.

Comorbidity status should inform prostatectomy choice Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The greater the number of perioperative comorbidities a man with prostate cancer has, the higher his risk for dying from causes other than prostate cancer after being treated with radical prostatectomy, say US researchers.

Retropubic RP results in high levels of patient satisfaction Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The vast majority of men treated with open radical retropubic prostatectomy for prostate cancer are satisfied with their treatment after 2 years, report US researchers.

SLN surgery alone effective for lymph node negative breast cancer patients Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Sentinel lymph node surgery is an effective alternative to axillary lymph node dissection, offering equivalent survival rates in breast cancer patients with clinically negative lymph nodes, researchers report.

Teenage triglyceride:HDL cholesterol ratio predicts adult pro-atherogenic lipid profile Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT The ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in late adolescence can predict a pro-atherogenic lipid profile in adulthood, study findings suggest.

Visceral fat area superior for predicting metabolic risk factor clustering Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Visceral fat area is superior to several other anthropometric indices for predicting the clustering of metabolic risk factors, Japanese researchers report.

Physical inactivity reassurance for those with family history of Type 2 diabetes Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Physical inactivity may not have a greater impact on adipose tissue metabolism in first-degree relatives of people with Type 2 diabetes than it has on those without such a family history, study findings suggest.

Rosiglitazone: FDA restricts, EMA suspends Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Use of rosiglitazone has been placed under heavy restriction in the USA and has been suspended altogether in Europe, the respective regulatory agencies announced yesterday.

NSAIDs linked to increased long-term risk for chronic AF Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers suggest that patients who use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have an increased risk for chronic but not paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, particularly if they require treatment for more than 1 year.

Prognosis of very elderly PCI patients better if cardiogenic shock absent Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Italian researchers report that nonagenarians with ST-elevation myocardial infarction may benefit from successful percutaneous coronary intervention if they do not initially present with cardiogenic shock.

SLN surgery alone effective for lymph node negative breast cancer patients Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:00 PM PDT Sentinel lymph node surgery is an effective alternative to axillary lymph node dissection, offering equivalent survival rates in breast cancer patients with clinically negative lymph nodes, researchers report.
