Maternal stress may worsen children’s asthma Posted: 10 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Maternal anger, irritation, and emotion suppression are associated with increased asthma severity in young children, results from a Japanese study suggest.

Frequent GERD symptoms linked to esophageal adenocarcinoma Posted: 10 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a systematic review and meta-analysis show that frequent symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease are associated with increased risk for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex function reduced in early schizophrenia Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex function is reduced in antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia patients who have suffered a first episode of psychosis, research shows.

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.

Bipolar disorder prodrome supported Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a US study support the existence of a bipolar disorder prodrome that is similar to the schizophrenia prodrome.

Serious mental illness increases mortality risk in diabetes patients Posted: 06 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with diabetes and schizophrenia or bipolar disorder have significantly higher mortality rates than those with diabetes alone, researchers have found.

Pine bark extract fails to improve CV risk Posted: 06 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Pine bark extract, promoted for its antioxidant properties, appears safe but has no beneficial impact on cardiovascular risk factors, a randomized trial has found.

Serious mental illness increases mortality risk in diabetes patients Posted: 06 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with diabetes and schizophrenia or bipolar disorder have significantly higher mortality rates than those with diabetes alone, researchers have found.

Bipolar disorder associated with poor diet Posted: 06 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Women with bipolar disorder tend to have poorer diets than those without the condition, research suggests.

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.

Diabetes increases risk for hepatocarcinogenesis in patients with hepatitis C Posted: 05 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes increases the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with noncirrhotic, interferon-treated hepatitis C, show study results.

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.

Antipsychotic treatment increases diabetes risk Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with antipsychotic medications is associated with an increased risk for diabetes in clinical practice, research shows.

Theory of mind impaired in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder have impaired theory of mind compared with mentally health individuals, German research suggests.
