Work stress linked to asthma Posted: 05 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that work stress and an inability to relax after work are associated with increased asthma prevalence and incidence.

Depression increases negative symptom burden in schizophrenia patients Posted: 05 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patients with depression should be monitored closely, say researchers who found that they have a significantly higher burden of negative symptoms and are more likely to attempt suicide than schizophrenia patients without depression.

Cognitive deficits present at bipolar disorder onset Posted: 05 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Canadian study suggest that cognitive deficits are common at disease onset in patients with bipolar disorder, and are therefore not wholly attributable to factors associated with disease duration.

Infectious gastroenteritis linked to functional gastrointestinal disorders Posted: 05 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with infectious gastroenteritis have an increased risk for subsequent functional gastrointestinal disorders, show study results.

Sticker reminders lead to more appropriate thromboprophylaxis Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Pasting sticker reminders about the importance of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis to hospitalized patients' medical files increases the proportion of patients receiving appropriate treatment, Iranian researchers report.

Coffee could be stroke trigger Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Occasional intake of coffee may act as a trigger for acute ischemic stroke, study findings suggest.

Researchers identify possible treatment targets for ‘incurable’ prostate cancer Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Australian researchers report that the overexpression of certain cell proteins and transporters is strongly associated with drug-resistant and metastatic prostate cancer.

Potential biomarkers identified for breast cancer therapy side-effect Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified four genetic variants that are related to musculoskeletal adverse events in patients receiving aromatase inhibitor adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.

Omega-3 plus statin ‘optimal’ for mixed dyslipidemia Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Combination treatment with omega-3 fatty acids plus simvastatin represents the optimal therapy for patients with mixed dyslipidemia, Korean researchers believe.

CRP threshold for statin eligibility may be invalid in non-Europeans Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT The population distribution of C-reactive protein concentration differs according to racial and ethnic ancestry, a major study shows.

Moderate weight loss significantly reduces Type 2 diabetes risk in FIN-D2D Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT One-year results from the Finnish National Diabetes Prevention Program show that moderate weight loss significantly reduces the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals.

Pediatric BMI best predictor of later Type 2 diabetes and CVD risk Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children and adolescents with the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes and subclinical atherosclerosis in adulthood, show study results.

Management of AMI in kidney patients has improved in past decade Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT A study of patients with renal disease who suffer acute myocardial infarction reveals marked improvements in medical care and a decline in in-hospital mortality over the past 15 years.

Caucasian patients at increased risk for AF post cardiac surgery Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Race/ethnicity influences the risk for incident atrial fibrillation among people undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, an epidemiologic study suggests.
