| Survival after hospitalization for COPD differs between men and women Posted: 01 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Women have better survival rates than men after hospitalization for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, results from a Canadian study show. |
| Prefrontal cortex volume reductions linked to rapid cycling in BDII Posted: 01 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a Japanese study suggest that gray matter volume reductions in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex are associated with rapid cycling in patients with bipolar II disorder. |
| Smoking risk among mental health patients Posted: 01 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Research shows that schizophrenia spectrum disorders are associated with an increased risk for smoking among men, but not women, who are living in the community with serious mental illness. |
| Long index finger could indicate reduced prostate cancer risk Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Men whose index fingers are longer than their ring finger are less likely to develop prostate cancer compared with men who have shorter index, than ring fingers, says a UK research team. |
| QoL better with surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer versus active treatment Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Active surveillance offers a quality-of-life advantage to low-risk prostate cancer patients compared with initial treatment, show the results of a study that calculated patients' quality-adjusted life expectancy. |
| Annual mammogram from age 40 years reduces mastectomy risk Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST An annual mammogram may halve the risk for mastectomy among women aged 40–50 years who develop breast cancer, according to data presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America today. |
| Statins may improve CV risk and arterial function in hypercholesterolemic patients Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Treatment with statins significantly improves arterial properties in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, Greek researchers say, and among these patients the intensity and duration of lipid-lowering therapy correlate with arterial characteristics. |
| Successful weight loss associated with overweight diagnosis Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Diagnosis of overweight status by a physician may encourage obese adults to attempt and successfully lose weight, a US study suggests. |
| Proton pump inhibitors may improve HbA1c in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Treatment with the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole improves glycated hemoglobin levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes, suggest results from a small retrospective analysis. |
| Erectile dysfunction linked to CVD risk in men with Type 2 diabetes Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Results from a cohort analysis of men from the ADVANCE trial suggests that men with Type 2 diabetes who also have erectile dysfunction are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. |
| Long-term PAF cessation common with pulmonary vein isolation Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Catheter ablation by circumferential pulmonary vein isolation restores long-term stable sinus rhythm in most patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and normal left ventricular function, study findings suggest. |
| Post-STEMI cardiac troponin I ‘provides useful prognostic information’ Posted: 30 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Measuring cardiac troponin I levels after primary percutaneous coronary intervention offers valuable information on the patient's future left ventricular function, an international team has shown. |
