Survivors of childhood cancer have high rate of GI problems in later life Posted: 20 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that survivors of childhood cancer have a high frequency of gastrointestinal problems in young adulthood.

Aliskiren as effective at lowering BP as ARBs Posted: 20 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Findings from a 10-study meta-analysis suggest that the direct renin inhibitor aliskiren is as effective as angiotensin receptor blockers at treating hypertension.

Cognitive training benefits patients at high risk for schizophrenia Posted: 17 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Computer–based cognitive training significantly improves long–term memory and attention in patients who are at ultra-high risk for schizophrenia, study results suggest.

Dairy consumption may lower risk for high BP Posted: 17 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Australian researchers report that the consumption of low-fat cheese or liquid dairy products, namely milk and yogurt, may reduce the risk for elevated blood pressure.

Mixed symptoms linked to suicidality in bipolar disorder youth Posted: 17 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Mixed mood symptoms in young people with bipolar disorder are associated with an increased risk for suicidality, research shows.

Antioxidant defence reduced in early-onset psychosis patients Posted: 16 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with early-onset first-episode psychosis show deficits in the antioxidant defense system compared with mentally healthy individuals, researchers have found.

Internal timing mechanisms disrupted in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 16 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a US study suggest that internal mechanisms that control timing are impaired in patients with bipolar disorder.

Clinical and social predictors of psychosis recovery elucidated Posted: 15 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST A stable family background, good social functioning, and low levels of negative symptoms are significant predictors of recovery in patients with non-affective psychosis, results from a Scandinavian study show.

Readmission for AMI, HF more likely among Black than White US patients Posted: 15 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST US study results indicate that Black patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction or heart failure are more likely to be readmitted within 30 days of discharge than White patients with these conditions.

IgG antibodies to gliadin increased in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 15 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with bipolar disorder have increased levels of immunoglobulin G antibodies to gliadin, but they do not display other antibody reactivity profiles that are indicative of celiac disease, say US researchers.

Cognitive function not linked to suicidality in schizophrenia Posted: 14 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a Norwegian study suggest that neurocognitive functioning is not associated with suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Likelihood of childhood/adolescent bipolar diagnosis unaffected by age Posted: 14 Feb 2011 04:00 PM PST The decision to diagnose mania in children and adolescents is influenced by symptoms such as a decreased need for sleep, along with elated mood and grandiosity, say UK and German scientists who found that age does not affect the diagnosis.
