| Cachexia not linked to increased systemic inflammation in COPD Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Norwegian study counter the theory that cachexia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is mediated through an increase in systemic inflammation. |
| Influenza and coronaviruses linked to mood disorders Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Patients with mood disorders are more likely to show evidence of infection with influenza A or coronaviruses than mentally healthy individuals, researchers have found. |
| Reductions in cortical thickness do not progress with schizophrenia duration Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Deficits in cortical thickness among patients with schizophrenia do not progress significantly over the course of the illness above those commonly associated with aging, and may instead reflect pathological processes around the time of illness onset, say Japanese researchers. |
| Women with celiac disease have low fertility before, but not after diagnosis Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Findings from a Swedish population study show that although celiac disease is not generally associated with reduced fertility, women with the condition do have significantly reduced fertility in the 2 years preceding CD diagnosis. |
| Venous thromboembolism has strong familial component Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Siblings of patients with venous thromboembolism are three times more likely to have thrombosis than people in the general population, Danish researchers report. |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT A histopathological study suggests that statin use in patients with advanced atherosclerotic disease is associated with significant reductions in the prevalence of intra-plaque hemorrhage. |
| Weekend stroke fatality effect independent of case mix Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT The "weekend effect" of increased stroke mortality among patients presenting at weekends versus weekdays is not explained by stroke severity, say Canadian researchers. |
| Small prostate size could indicate more aggressive prostate cancer Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Prostate cancer patients with small prostates have worse histopathological outcomes than their counterparts with large prostates, report US researchers who hope that a small prostate will act as a "red flag" for treatment with surgery rather than observation. |
| No protection against breast cancer from green tea Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of green tea does not protect against breast cancer, regardless of the number of cups drunk and the type of tea consumed, concludes a large Japanese study. |
| Low GI fruit helps improve HbA1c and CHD risk factors in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of low glycemic index fruit, such as apples, pears, and berries, is associated with improvements in glycemic control and coronary heart disease risk factors, show study findings. |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT A histopathological study suggests that statin use in patients with advanced atherosclerotic disease is associated with significant reductions in the prevalence of intra-plaque hemorrhage. |
| Obese patients failing to meet blood pressure and lipid targets Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Less than half of outpatients at high cardiovascular risk are achieving guideline blood pressure and lipid targets, Canadian researchers suggest. |
| Patients with diabetes have elevated arterial stiffness and pulsatile stress Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Study results demonstrate that middle-aged patients with Type 2 and Type 1 diabetes have increased arterial stiffness and pulsatile stress compared with their nondiabetic peers. |
| Low GI fruit helps improve HbA1c and CHD risk factors in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of low glycemic index fruit, such as apples, pears, and berries, is associated with improvements in glycemic control and coronary heart disease risk factors, show study findings. |
| Mitral regurgitation may predict poor ACS prognosis Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Mitral regurgitation may increase the risk for long-term mortality and congestive heart failure in patients with acute coronary syndromes, researchers report. |
| Prehospital tirofiban improves platelet inhibition in STEMI Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Adding tirofiban to aspirin-clopidogrel-unfractionated heparin therapy before hospital arrival increases the level of inhibition of platelet aggregation achieved in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients, study results indicate. |
