| Recurrent wheezing risk increased among infants in developing countries Posted: 07 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST The prevalence of recurrent wheezing is significantly higher among infants in South America than among those in Europe, suggesting an increased risk for the condition in developing countries, say researchers. |
| Tryptase-positive mast cells may distinguish EoE from GERD patients Posted: 07 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Patients with eosinophilic esophagitis have a greater number of tryptase-positive mast cells compared with gastroesophageal reflux disease patients, say researchers. |
| Specific types of childhood adversity linked to psychosis risk Posted: 04 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a UK study suggest that only certain adverse childhood experiences are associated with an increased risk for psychotic disorders in later life. |
| Ceftaroline approved by FDA for treatment of MRSA skin infections Posted: 04 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT The injectable antibiotic ceftaroline fosamil has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. |
| Collaborative HF care trumps sole physician care Posted: 04 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Heart failure patients who receive early collaborative care from a cardiologist and a primary care physician have better clinical outcomes than those who receive care from a primary care physician alone, a large Canadian study indicates. |
| Prolidase levels increased in bipolar disorder Posted: 04 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Prolidase levels are higher in patients with bipolar disorder than in those without the condition, and could serve as a trait marker in bipolar disorder diagnosis, say Turkish researchers. |
| Childhood sexual abuse linked to schizophrenia risk Posted: 03 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Individuals who experience sexual abuse in childhood face an increased risk for developing psychotic disorders in later life, results from an Australian study suggest. |
| Imposed dietary salt restrictions 20 times more effective than optional initiatives Posted: 03 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Australian researchers suggest that compulsorily restricting the salt content of processed foods to "moderate" levels may reduce the disease burden linked to high salt consumption by 18% compared with voluntary salt reduction initiatives. |
| Suicide risk high in veterans with bipolar disorder or substance abuse Posted: 03 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Of all psychiatric diagnoses in military veterans, bipolar disorder is associated with greatest risk for suicide in men and substance use disorder is associated with the greatest risk in women, US research shows. |
| 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. |
| SPECT predicts CV events and death in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetics Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Type 2 diabetes patients with gated myocardial perfusion single-photon computed tomography imaging abnormalities who are otherwise asymptomatic are at high risk for cardiovascular events and death, say researchers. |
| Statins may reduce mortality in heart failure patients Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT US researchers say that statin use is associated with decreased all-cause mortality in elderly patients following diagnosis of heart failure. |
| 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. |
| Deficits in top-down attentional control evident before psychosis onset Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Results from a South Korean study suggest that patients at high risk for psychosis exhibit deficits in top-down attentional control before onset of the condition. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Persistent unemployment common in bipolar disorder Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:00 PM PDT Persistent unemployment is a common problem among people with bipolar disorder, and is significantly associated with the presence of certain comorbidities, say US researchers. |
