VOCs in home air linked to asthma and allergies in children Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Increased levels of certain volatile organic compounds in household air are associated with an increased risk for asthma and allergies in children, study results show.

ABO blood type link to gastric cancer and peptic ulcers confirmed Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that people with blood group A have a higher incidence of gastric cancer and those with blood group O an increased risk for peptic ulcers compared with those with other blood types.

ABO blood type link to gastric cancer and peptic ulcers confirmed Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that people with blood group A have a higher incidence of gastric cancer and those with blood group O an increased risk for peptic ulcers compared with those with other blood types.

Schizophrenia patients often experience sleep initiation problems Posted: 21 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia report taking significantly longer to fall asleep at night than mentally healthy individuals, Canadian research have found.

Brain imaging distinguishes pediatric bipolar disorder from ADHD Posted: 21 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a US study suggest that functional magnetic resonance imaging of working memory circuits in the brain may help distinguish children with bipolar disorder from those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Schizophrenia with obsessive compulsive symptoms ‘a distinct subtype’ Posted: 20 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Japanese study suggest that schizophrenia with obsessive-compulsive symptoms may represent a subtype of the disorder that is associated with early onset and increased severity of psychotic symptoms.

Altered fronto-temporal connectivity in pediatric bipolar disorder Posted: 20 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Children with bipolar disorder have altered task-independent functional connectivity in fronto-temporal brain regions associated with working memory and learning, research suggests.

EEG power and negative symptoms predict transition to psychosis Posted: 19 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Swiss study suggest that negative symptom levels combined with data on electroencephalogram power in delta, theta, and beta bands predict transition to psychosis in at-risk individuals.

Metformin therapy lowers mortality in diabetic patients with HF Posted: 19 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that treatment with metformin appears to reduce mortality rates in patients with heart failure and diabetes.

Stressful life events delay recovery from mania Posted: 19 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Stressful life events are associated with delays in functional recovery among bipolar disorder patients who have been treated for an episode of mania, US researchers have found.

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.

Positive emotional processing biases in adolescent BD phenotype Posted: 18 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Young people with the common adolescent bipolar disorder phenotype show positive emotional processing biases, despite increased levels of neuroticism, low mood, and anxiety, UK researchers have found.
