| Supplements and exercise benefit malnourished COPD patients Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Malnourished chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients benefit from nutritional supplementation combined with low-intensity exercise, results from a Japanese study show. |
| Schizophrenia patients show sound localization and discrimination deficits Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with schizophrenia show impairments in both localization and spatial discrimination of sounds, say researchers. |
| Certain cognitive deficits worse in BDI than BDII patients Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with bipolar I disorder show greater memory and semantic fluency deficits than those with bipolar II disorder, but both patient groups show similar impairments in other measures of cognition, results from a review and meta-analysis of published studies show. |
| Home parenteral nutrition ‘treatment of choice’ for intestinal failure Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Home parenteral nutrition is confirmed as the treatment of choice for the majority of patients with intestinal failure, with only a small group of patients requiring intestinal transplantation, report researchers. |
| Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria does not rule out PE Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST The Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria rule does not safely rule out pulmonary embolism without additional tests, either when used alone or in combination with another clinical decision rule, study findings indicate. |
| RLS, procoagulant state may link migraine to stroke Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers say that migraine with aura is more likely to affect young ischemic stroke patients if they have right-to-left shunt and an underlying procoagulant state. |
| Skeletal-related events in metastatic breast cancer reduced with denosumab Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Denosumab is more likely than zoledronic acid to delay or prevent skeletal-related events in patients with breast cancer metastatic to bone, and its subcutaneous administration makes it more convenient, conclude scientists. |
| Seed migration linked to swelling after prostate BRT Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Japanese study results show that seed migration after prostate cancer treatment with brachytherapy is common, and may be caused by the swelling of the prostate gland after seed insertion. |
| Gallstone disease reduced by long-term statin therapy Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Long-term statin therapy significantly reduces the risk for gallstone disease in the Danish population, a study suggests. |
| Assessment age important in early atherogenic risk prediction Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST The age at which risk factors are measured is an important consideration when identifying children at high risk for early atherosclerosis, analysis of four large prospective cohort studies shows. |
| High plasma lactate linked to increased risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Researchers say that high levels of plasma lactate are strongly associated with increased prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in older adults. |
| Asthma and COPD raise risk for Type 2 diabetes in women Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Women with current or previous asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have an increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, show study findings. |
| High childhood fruit, vegetable diet helps maintain arterial flexibility in adulthood Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Children who consume large quantities of fruit and vegetables may have a reduced risk for arterial stiffness – an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality – later in life, Finnish researchers report. |
| Heart-type fatty acid binding protein detection insufficient for early AMI diagnosis Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST The cardiac biomarker heart-type fatty acid binding protein does not reliably detect early acute myocardial infarction in patients suspected to have the condition, results of a meta-analysis indicate. |
