ART not linked to parental investment in children Posted: 01 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Couples who undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) invest no more in their children than couples who conceive spontaneously, show Portuguese study results.

Frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer reduces ectopic pregnancy rate Posted: 01 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Japanese study results show that ectopic pregnancy rates after IVF are significantly lower following transfer of a single frozen-thawed blastocyst-stage embryo compared with a single fresh blastocyst-stage embryo.

Physical HRQL linked to physical leisure activity, BMI in schizophrenia Posted: 26 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Reduced physical health-related quality of life in patients with schizophrenia is associated with a lack of leisure time physical activity, as well as an increased body mass index, research shows.

Large registry study finds no excess cancer risk with ARB use Posted: 26 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT An analysis of more than 100,000 patients taking angiotensin receptor blockers has found no signal that these drugs are associated with an increased risk for cancer, with the exception of a small increase in male genital cancers.
