Comorbid mood disorder increases suicide risk in schizophrenia patients Posted: 18 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT The presence of a previous or co-existing mood disorder is associated with a significantly increased risk for suicide in patients with schizophrenia, research shows.

Catheter ablation carries substantial risk for silent cerebral lesions Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients undergoing left atrial catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation risk suffering asymptomatic cerebral thromboembolism during the procedure, report Italian researchers.

MRI spectroscopy could predict biochemical relapse after prostatectomy Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Preoperative endorectal magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging could predict whether patients are likely to experience biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, say US researchers.

Gene could help predict tamoxifen resistance Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT The breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance 4 gene could help predict whether a patient with breast cancer will respond to treatment with tamoxifen, Dutch researchers report.

Ductal more aggressive than acinar prostate carcinoma Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Ductal carcinoma is an aggressive form of prostate cancer that predicts worse overall patient survival than the more common acinar tumor, show US study results.

Novel ovarian cancer drug demonstrates single-agent, durable activity Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT A drug under investigation for its use in ovarian cancer treatment has shown good single-agent activity with durable disease control, report US researchers.

Fruit and vegetables key to preventing small-for-gestational-age births Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that a pre-pregnancy diet low in fruit could increase the risk for having a baby small-for-gestational-age, while a diet risk in green leafy vegetables could protect against this outcome.

Skipping breakfast associated with cardiometabolic risk factors Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Skipping breakfast over a long period of time may be detrimental to cardiometabolic health, an Australian study suggests.

Biomarkers offer refined HF risk prediction Posted: 17 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT B-type natriuretic peptide and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio are important risk factors for the development of heart failure, new research suggests.
