Adolescents at high psychosis risk exhibit emotion recognition deficits Posted: 31 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents at ultra-high risk for psychosis often misattribute facial expressions of emotion, with an increased degree of misattribution associated with reduced inhibitory control, research shows.

Patterns of Axis I comorbidity differ by age in bipolar patients Posted: 31 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from an Italian study show that patterns of Axis I comorbidity and substance abuse differ by age in patients with bipolar disorder.

Low carnitine levels linked to fatigue severity in chronic hepatitis C patients Posted: 31 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that plasma carnitine levels are inversely correlated with fatigue severity in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

CT technique detects more post-TKA thrombosis than traditional methods Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Multislice computed tomography is more sensitive than conventional techniques for the detection of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary arterial thrombosis in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty, study findings indicate.

Type 2 diabetics with NSTE-ACS have antiplatelet-resistant thrombi Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes have a greater thrombus burden after experiencing non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome than nondiabetics, say UK researchers.

sCAD begins in the outer artery wall layers Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Pathologic changes in the arterial walls of patients with spontaneous cervical artery dissection are confined mainly to the outer layers, shows research published in the journal Neurology.

Genetic screening identifies most children with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings indicate that most of the genes underlying autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia are now known, suggesting that genetic testing can successfully identify the vast majority of children with this condition.

Multiple risk factors should be considered for CV risk stratification Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Cardiovascular risk assessment should focus on multiple risk factors rather than only one, say researchers who found that harmful increases in femoral and carotid intima media thickness were associated with increases in the number of risk factors in asymptomatic young adults.

Type 2 diabetics with NSTE-ACS have antiplatelet-resistant thrombi Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes have a greater thrombus burden after experiencing non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome than nondiabetics, say UK researchers.

hsCRP may differentiate HNF1A-MODY from Type 2 diabetes Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Findings from a UK study indicate that patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young, resulting from HNF1A mutations, have lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein than patients with other forms of diabetes.

Coronary calcium scanning aids long-term CV risk factor control Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The use of coronary artery calcium scanning in asymptomatic individuals is associated with improved risk-factor control as compared with usual care, a randomized trial has found.

Half of AF cases preventable through better risk-factor control Posted: 30 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The burden of atrial fibrillation could be halved through optimal control of cardiovascular risk factors, a US study suggests.

Statins reduce relapse rates after prostate radiotherapy Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Statins may reduce the likelihood of relapse after radiotherapy for prostate cancer, indicate US study results.

Cancer recurrence worries affect women differently Posted: 27 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Factors unrelated to recurrence risk define women's tendency to worry about breast cancer recurrence, say US researchers.
