Nonlight beer intake associated with psoriasis risk in women Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Women who drink five or more nonlight beers per week have an increased risk for developing psoriasis compared with women who do not drink alcohol, study findings indicate.

Tamoxifen still has role in adjuvant breast cancer treatment Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Sequential treatment with tamoxifen and exemestane is equivalent to exemestane alone for preventing recurrence in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, study results show.

Limited evidence for benefit of statins in primary prevention Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST A systematic review of statins in primary prevention found their use is associated with significant reductions in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and revascularization rates.

Blood viscosity impaired in dyslipidemic individuals Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Dyslipidemia is associated with abnormalities of blood viscosity, including impaired blood flow, research shows.

NAFLD increases risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is an independent risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, suggest study results.

Factors associated with latent autoimmune diabetes outlined Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Study results suggest that around 9% of patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in China actually have latent autoimmune diabetes.

NAFLD increases risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is an independent risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, suggest study results.

MI risk gene locus distinct from CAD locus found Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Results of two genome-wide association studies suggest that an association exists between the ADAMTS7 gene locus and the development of coronary artery disease.

Worsening depression in HF patients linked to poor prognosis Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Heart failure patients with worsening depression have an increased 5-year risk for cardiovascular-related hospitalization or death, irrespective of the severity of their heart failure, study results indicate.

Tamoxifen still has role in adjuvant breast cancer treatment Posted: 20 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Sequential treatment with tamoxifen and exemestane is equivalent to exemestane alone for preventing recurrence in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, study results show.
