Researchers identify predictors of poor response to aspirin, clopidogrel Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes, high body weight, elevated C-reactive protein values, and lower aspirin doses are associated with dual poor responsiveness to aspirin and clopidogrel, study findings indicate.

RCVS linked to intracranial hemorrhage Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT About a third of patients who present with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome also have intracranial hemorrhage, report French researchers.

Composite score gauges psoriasis, PsA treatment success Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT A composite measure to quantify the effects of treatment for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on skin symptoms, joint manifestations, and quality of life may be useful to determine the overall success of treatment, say researchers.

Hsp60 expression linked to prostate cancer prognosis Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT The protein Hsp60 is overexpressed in poorly-differentiated prostate cancer tumors and is associated with prognostic clinical variables including Gleason score and lymph node metastasis, study findings show.

MRI indicates likelihood of relapse after prostate radiotherapy Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Magnetic resonance imaging could predict the likelihood of a prostate cancer patient experiencing biochemical relapse after radiotherapy, say US researchers.

Traffic-related air pollution linked to postmenopausal breast cancer Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Canadian researchers have found evidence of an association between postmenopausal breast cancer and exposure to ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, a marker for traffic-related pollution.

Hsp60 expression linked to prostate cancer prognosis Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT The protein Hsp60 is overexpressed in poorly-differentiated prostate cancer tumors and is associated with prognostic clinical variables including Gleason score and lymph node metastasis, study findings show.

MRI indicates likelihood of relapse after prostate radiotherapy Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Magnetic resonance imaging could predict the likelihood of a prostate cancer patient experiencing biochemical relapse after radiotherapy, say US researchers.

Statin therapy may be needed for about one in four in low CV-risk country Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT About one in four people in a country at low cardiovascular risk such as Italy need treatment with a statin or the continuation of existing therapy to reach their target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, researchers calculate.

Saturated fatty acid intake inversely associated with stroke in Japanese Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Saturated fatty acid consumption may be inversely associated with the risk for death from stroke in Japanese individuals, a cohort study suggests.

Periodontal intervention improves adiponectin level in diabetic patients Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Periodontal intervention for treatment of gum disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes results in significantly improved levels of adiponectin and inflammatory markers, say researchers.

Risk for sudden cardiac death post-MI high in Type 2 diabetes patients Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that patients with Type 2 diabetes are significantly more likely to experience sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction than nondiabetic patients.

COGENT: No significant CV interaction between omeprazole and placebo Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Trial findings showing no clinically significant cardiovascular interaction between the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole and clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Testosterone patches show promise for female CHF Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Testosterone patches can improve functional capacity, insulin resistance, and muscle strength in women with advanced chronic heart failure, a proof-of-concept study suggests.

Traffic-related air pollution linked to postmenopausal breast cancer Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Canadian researchers have found evidence of an association between postmenopausal breast cancer and exposure to ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, a marker for traffic-related pollution.
