White matter integrity affects functional outcome in bipolar disorder Posted: 20 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST The functional outcome of patients with bipolar disorder is influenced by cognitive performance, clinical course, and white matter volume, research shows.

Social anxiety an ‘independent domain’ in psychotic disorders Posted: 20 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Social anxiety is strongly correlated with self-esteem and active withdrawal in patients with psychotic disorders and is not simply a by-product of positive and negative symptoms, study results show.

Increased prolactin may predict higher venous thrombosis risk Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST The risk for venous thrombosis increases with increasing prolactin levels, particularly in premenopausal women, study findings indicate.

Unaccustomed exercise carries short-term stroke risk Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST A bout of vigorous exercise may cause a temporary increase in stroke risk, particularly among people who do not habitually exercise, research shows.

Regulatory agencies announce bevacizumab decision Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST The European Medicines Agency has confirmed that bevacizumab, used in combination with the taxane paclitaxel remains a valuable treatment option for patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Ovarian reserve and BMI predict miscarriage after IVF Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Antral follicle count —a marker of ovarian reserve—and body mass index are significantly associated with first trimester miscarriage in women treated with IVF, report UK researchers.

Estradiol production during COS may link to IVF outcomes Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST The level and rate at which estradiol is produced during controlled ovarian stimulation may affect IVF outcomes, report researchers.

Genetic variants for endometriosis identified Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST The results of a genome-wide association study identify two genetic variants that are strongly linked with endometriosis.

Paternal obesity linked to negative IVF outcomes Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Paternal obesity at the time of conception after assisted reproductive therapy reduces subsequent pregnancy and live birth rates, show Australian study results.

Salpingostomy an effective strategy for management of ectopic pregnancy Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Management of ectopic pregnancy with salpingostomy is "safe and effective," says the research team behind a 9-year observational study.

Unhealthy behaviors identified in obese 12-year-olds Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST A survey of US 12-year-olds had found that 15% are obese and that obese children typically display adverse cardiovascular risk profiles.

HDL levels improve after smoking cessation Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Stopping smoking is associated with an improvement in high-density lipoprotein levels, particularly in women, research reveals.

Lower BP threshold improves accuracy of isolated clinic hypertension diagnosis Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Spanish researchers suggest that the accuracy of isolated clinic hypertension diagnoses may be improved by lowering the currently recommended daytime cut-off blood pressure points.

Calcification and inflammatory markers raised in Type 2 diabetes and IHD Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST A Danish study has revealed elevated levels of calcification and inflammatory markers in patients with Type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease.

Diastolic dysfunction linked with CAN in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST US and Australian researchers have discovered an independent association between subclinical myocardial dysfunction and cardiac autonomic neuropathy in otherwise healthy patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Nonobstructive CAD mortality risk increased with noncalcified plaques Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Nonobstructive coronary artery disease patients with noncalcified or mixed coronary plaques have a higher risk for all-cause mortality than those with calcified plaques, study results suggest.

Lower BP threshold improves accuracy of isolated clinic hypertension diagnosis Posted: 19 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Spanish researchers suggest that the accuracy of isolated clinic hypertension diagnoses may be improved by lowering the currently recommended daytime cut-off blood pressure points.
