| Actively paranoid schizophrenia patients over-attribute anger Posted: 31 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Schizophrenia patients who are actively paranoid are more likely to attribute anger to neutral facial expressions than those with the mental health disorder who are not actively paranoid, researchers report. |
| Habenula volume reduced in unmedicated bipolar patients Posted: 31 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Unmedicated patients with bipolar disorder and women with major depressive disorder show reductions in habenula volume relative to mentally healthy individuals, which indicates a role for the structure in the development of affective disease, say researchers. |
| Genetic screening unnecessary in elderly warfarin patients Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Genetic testing does not improve the accuracy of dosing algorithms among elderly inpatients starting warfarin therapy, according to research published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. |
| Stroke center survival benefits confirmed Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST A major US study has revealed that patients are more likely to survive a stroke if they are admitted to a designated stroke center. |
| Childhood cancer survivors have poor job prospects Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Adult survivors of childhood cancer are less likely to be employed in professional occupations than their siblings, US study findings indicate. |
| No long-term psychosocial effects of delayed versus immediate cervical treatment Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST There are no short- or long-term psychosocial effects on women who are treated with punch biopsies and subsequent selective recall as opposed to immediate large loop excision during colposcopy, study results show. |
| Hot flashes could indicate reduced breast cancer risk Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Women aged 55–74 years who have ever experienced menopausal symptoms are less likely to develop breast cancer than women of the same age who have never experienced symptoms, indicate study findings. |
| Primate study shows oral contraceptives could lead to weight loss Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Oral contraceptive use causes an increase in basal metabolic rate, leading to a decrease in body weight and percent body fat, show the results of a study in primates. |
| Frequent mental distress affects contraceptive use among women Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Study results show that women who experience frequent mental distress are more likely to use permanent contraception over reversible methods, prompting the researchers to call for consideration of mental health during contraceptive counseling. |
| Unresolved grief after premature birth can risk infant-mother attachment Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Women who resolve their grief about having a preterm infant are almost three times more likely to have formed a secure attachment with their baby by 16 months post-term than women with unresolved grief, show US study results. |
| No long-term psychosocial effects of delayed versus immediate cervical treatment Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST There are no short- or long-term psychosocial effects on women who are treated with punch biopsies and subsequent selective recall as opposed to immediate large loop excision during colposcopy, study results show. |
| More ‘aggressive’ treatment needed to achieve optimal lipid targets Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Most patients with coronary artery disease are achieving the minimal recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goal, but many still have elevated levels of triglycerides or low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol despite treatment, say researchers. |
| Small dense LDL particles strong predictor of CAD Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Small dense low-density lipoprotein particles are strong predictors of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with suspected angina pectoris, research shows. |
| Invasive Fusobacterium nucleatum species good markers of IBD status Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings show that invasive strains of Fusobacterium, bacteria commonly found in the human gut mucosa, are present in more patients with inflammatory bowel disease than in healthy controls. |
| Promising results for new GLP-1 analog Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a phase II study show that the novel glucagon-like peptide-1 analog LY2189265 significantly improves glycemic control and body weight, and is generally well tolerated in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes. |
| Good quality diabetes care reduces CV event risk Posted: 30 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Achieving good quality diabetes care, as assessed by a simple score, can significantly reduce cardiovascular event risk in patients with Type 2 diabetes, suggest findings from the QUASAR study. |
