Early acetaminophen use linked to asthma, atopy in children Posted: 09 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Exposure to acetaminophen in early life is associated with an increased risk for asthma, wheeze, and atopy in later childhood, research suggests.

Executive deficits impair academic performance in pediatric bipolar disorder Posted: 09 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Nearly half of children and adolescents with bipolar disorder show executive function deficits, and those that do perform particularly poorly in school, study results show.

‘Alarming’ increase in oral tongue cancer in young White women Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral aspect of the tongue has increased significantly among young White women over the past 20 years, say researchers who reviewed data from Survival, Epidemiology, and End Results records.

Low LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio may reduce CV risk after PCI Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST The ratio of low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol may be a useful factor for predicting future cardiovascular events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, say researchers.

Increased protein intake linked to obesity Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Researchers suggest that a high protein intake increases the risk for obesity in middle-aged and older adults with an unstable body weight.

BID exenatide noninferior to insulin aspart for glycemic control Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Twice-daily treatment with exenatide is noninferior to premixed insulin aspart 70/30 for glycemic control and superior for hypoglycemia and weight control, a randomized study has found.

Cytokines raised in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Cytokine levels are raised in people with Type 2 diabetes, independently of their body weight, a European research team has shown.

Tight HbA1C control reduces nonfatal MI risk but raises mortality risk Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from the ACCORD study show that intense glucose lowering to achieve and maintain "normal" glycated hemoglobin levels can reduce the risk for nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with suboptimally controlled diabetes who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Tight HbA1C control reduces nonfatal MI risk but raises mortality risk Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from the ACCORD study show that intense glucose lowering to achieve and maintain "normal" glycated hemoglobin levels can reduce the risk for nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with suboptimally controlled diabetes who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Gender disparity evident in CVD treatment Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PST Fewer women than men receive guideline-recommended treatment for cardiovascular diseases, such as acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease, according to results from two studies.

Dermoscopy useful for distinguishing psoriasis from seborrheic dermatitis Posted: 30 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST Scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis can be differentiated by looking at vascular patterns using dermoscopy, report researchers.
