| Minor bleeds with VKAs should alert physicians to major bleed risk Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Minor bleeds may increase the risk for a subsequent major bleed by three-fold among patients taking vitamin K antagonists, study findings indicate. |
| Age, HDL cholesterol linked to ischemic stroke risk Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Older age and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are independent risk factors for ischemic stroke recurrence, say researchers. |
| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with transient ischemic attack are at increased risk for myocardial infarction, which in turn further raises their mortality risk, research shows. |
| Post-stroke depression contributes to functional dependency risk Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increased severity of depressive symptoms in patients who develop the condition following a stroke reduces the likelihood of them achieving functional independence, research suggests. |
| Low psoriatic arthritis prevalence in Asian patients, but much is undiagnosed Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results confirm a low prevalence of psoriatic arthritis among psoriasis patients in Asia, however, they also reveal a high percentage of undiagnosed cases among patients under specialist care. |
| High socioeconomic status increases melanoma risk in young women Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Young Californian women with high socioeconomic status have a higher rate of melanoma than those with lower socioeconomic status, suggest results from a US study. |
| Prognostic factors for head-and-neck with synchronous second cancer identified Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with head and neck cancer plus synchronous second cancers could benefit from aggressive treatment if they exhibit certain clinical characteristics, say researchers. |
| Age, HDL cholesterol linked to ischemic stroke risk Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Older age and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are independent risk factors for ischemic stroke recurrence, say researchers. |
| Children’s weight linked to maternal weight status Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Children whose mothers are obese are more likely to be overweight than those whose mothers are not obese, research shows. |
| Sugary drinks raise diabetes risk in men Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks significantly increases a person's risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, suggest results from the Health Professionals Follow-Up study. |
| Short telomeres may increase risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Findings from a mouse study suggest that having short telomeres at the end of your chromosomes could be a risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes. |
| Cardiac troponin T predicts cardiac events in healthy middle-aged people Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Cardiac troponin T levels measured by a highly sensitive assay may predict the risk for adverse cardiac events in middle-aged individuals without a history of cardiovascular disease, US study results indicate. |
| Mercury exposure unlikely to raise CVD risk Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a US study indicate that exposure to mercury from eating fish does not increase the risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, or total cardiovascular disease. |
