Thrombogenesis markers increased in unmedicated psychosis patients Posted: 10 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Markers of thrombogenesis are elevated in untreated patients with acute psychosis, researchers have found.

eNO responses may distinguish bipolar disorder from schizophrenia Posted: 10 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Different patterns in evoked neural oscillation responses to speech distinguish patients with bipolar disorder from those with schizophrenia and mentally healthy individuals, research shows.

Immune-mediated diseases may increase VTE risk Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST People admitted to hospital with immune-mediated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus may have an increased risk for subsequent venous thromboembolism, data from the UK show.

Preventing infections could cut readmissions after stroke Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Infections are the underlying cause of a high proportion of hospital admissions in stroke survivors, say Taiwanese researchers.

Iniparib benefits patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST The addition of iniparib to gemcitabine and carboplatin chemotherapy provides significant clinical benefit to women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, US study data show.

<i>HOXA10</i> gene linked to etiology of endometriosis Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST The homeobox A10 gene may be related to the embryogenic etiology of endometriosis and its associated infertility, suggest findings from a review.

CC-, hCG-induced cycles deliver similar outcomes in normo-ovulatory women Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Researchers have found comparable live-birth and pregnancy rates with human chorionic gonadotropin-induced natural or clomiphene citrate-induced cycles during frozen embryo transfer in normo-ovulatory women.

IVF feasible after bariatric surgery Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Women who have undergone bariatric surgery are able to benefit from IVF without experiencing complications, suggest US case study findings.

HPV diagnosis in male partner linked to pregnancy loss Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Women with a male partner positive for human papillomavirus infection have more than an 11-fold increased risk for miscarriage compared with those with HPV-negative partners, show Italian study findings.

AMH predicts live-birth chances in women with diminished ovarian reserve Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Researchers have identified a cutoff value for anti-Müllerian hormone that effectively identifies, independent of age, the likelihood of a live birth in women with diminished ovarian reserve.

Computer program promotes weight-loss in patients with the metabolic syndrome Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST A computer-based support program designed to help clinicians provide patients with the metabolic syndrome with healthy lifestyle counseling can lead to increased weight loss over a 12-month period, say US researchers.

Low HDL-C risk factors identified Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Researchers suggest that a prevention policy that focuses on reducing smoking and abdominal obesity, particularly in deprived individuals, could increase levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduce risk for cardiovascular disease.

Preventing infections could cut readmissions after stroke Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Infections are the underlying cause of a high proportion of hospital admissions in stroke survivors, say Taiwanese researchers.

Exenatide treatment may reduce CVD risk in Type 2 diabetes patients Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Treatment with exenatide reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease-related events in patients with Type 2 diabetes, compared with treatment with other hypoglycemic therapies, report US researchers.

Elevated serum insulin increases NAFLD risk Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings show that high fasting insulin levels, indicative of insulin resistance, that continue to increase over time predict a significantly increased risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in individuals without diabetes.

Novel pacemaker suitable for use during MRI Posted: 09 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings show that a modified version of the traditional pacemaker continues to function correctly even when exposed to a strong magnetic field during magnetic resonance imaging.

Dietary cholesterol linked to increased systolic blood pressure Posted: 11 Nov 2010 04:00 PM PST Japanese researchers suggest that reducing the intake of dietary cholesterol could improve adverse blood pressure levels in the general population.
