Cultural factors influence hallucination types in schizophrenia Posted: 18 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT The prevalence of auditory, visual, and cenesthetic hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia is significantly influenced by cultural as well as clinical factors, study results show.

CBCL-JBD phenotype does not predict Axis I disorders Posted: 18 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found no evidence to suggest that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder who have the Child Behavior Checklist-Juvenile Bipolar Disorder phenotype will go on to develop bipolar disorder or other Axis I disorders in late adolescence.

<i>KNG1</i> polymorphism may increase venous thrombosis risk Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT A polymorphism in the gene that encodes kininogen 1 is associated with decreased activated partial thromboplastin time and an increased risk for venous thrombosis, study findings indicate.

rtPA dose limit should not be raised in heavy patients Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Obese stroke patients often receive a lower than standard dose of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, but this does not appear to affect the efficacy of the treatment, shows an analysis of the SITS-ISTR.

Elective single embryo transfer minimizes twin birth rate in younger IVF patients Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT A policy of elective single embryo transfer for younger women undergoing IVF would result in less multiple pregnancies and reduced cost, while a policy of double embryo transfer achieves this goal in older women, show UK study results.

Increased risk for preterm delivery with IVF versus ICSI Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT The risk for a preterm delivery is significantly higher with IVF compared with ICSI, shows an analysis of population-wide Norwegian birth data.

Chromosomal polymorphic variations not linked with IVF outcome Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Chinese researchers report that chromosomal polymorphic variations appear to have no adverse effects on IVF outcomes.

Leptin may restore fertility to women with hypothalamic amenorrhea Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with the hormone leptin could restore fertility in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea brought on by chronic energy deficiency, say researchers.

‘Insurance coverage reduces multiple IVF pregnancy risk’ Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT US states with IVF insurance mandates have lower multiple pregnancy and birth rates than states where IVF is self-financed, indicate US study findings.

Lifestyle changes improve HDL cholesterol levels in men Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings indicate that reductions in body mass index and increases in alcohol consumption are associated with significant long-term increases in levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in men.

Childhood BMI cutoffs ‘not adequate’ for predicting CVD risk Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Research indicates that international body mass index cutoffs for overweight and obesity in childhood are poor predictors of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.

Childhood BMI cutoffs ‘not adequate’ for predicting CVD risk Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Research indicates that international body mass index cutoffs for overweight and obesity in childhood are poor predictors of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.

Insulin resistance does not predict myocardial steatosis in women Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with insulin resistance are no more likely than women who are insulin sensitive to have myocardial steatosis, show study results.

Insulin resistance does not predict myocardial steatosis in women Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with insulin resistance are no more likely than women who are insulin sensitive to have myocardial steatosis, show study results.

Long-term pioglitazone use linked to bladder cancer risk Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Use of pioglitazone for over 2 years may increase a patient's risk for developing bladder cancer, although only weakly, suggest study results.

Rest may not be best soon after MI Posted: 17 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that contrary to popular belief, early exercise rather than rest provides myocardial infarction patients with the best heart performance outcomes.
