Eczema, rhinitis in childhood linked to adult asthma Posted: 08 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT A combination of eczema and rhinitis in childhood is associated with a significantly increased risk for new-onset atopic asthma in middle age and persistence of childhood asthma to adult atopic asthma, research shows.

Lower salt intake ‘predicts higher CV mortality’ Posted: 08 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Systolic blood pressure exhibits both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with urinary sodium excretion, yet these associations do not translate into lower morbidity or improved survival, a population study has found.

CTNNB1 link to colorectal cancer survival modified by body mass index and exercise Posted: 08 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with colorectal cancer may show differential improvement with exercise depending on their cadherin-associated protein beta 1 status, suggest study findings.

Lower salt intake ‘predicts higher CV mortality’ Posted: 08 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Systolic blood pressure exhibits both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with urinary sodium excretion, yet these associations do not translate into lower morbidity or improved survival, a population study has found.

HSV-1 linked to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia patients Posted: 05 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Exposure to the herpes simplex virus type 1 may contribute to the cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia, research suggests.

HSV-1 linked to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia patients Posted: 05 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Exposure to the herpes simplex virus type 1 may contribute to the cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia, research suggests.

Children at risk for BD have reduced levels of specific neurometabolites Posted: 05 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The children of parents with bipolar disorder have decreased concentrations of specific metabolites in the cerebellar vermis, suggesting decreased cellular metabolism, US researchers report.

Hippocampal proteomic changes similar in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia Posted: 04 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder and those with schizophrenia show similar patterns of proteomic changes in the hippocampus relative to mental healthy individuals, researchers have found.

Schizophrenia link to autoimmune disorders supported Posted: 04 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Taiwanese study add to the growing body of evidence for a link between schizophrenia and autoimmune disorders.

Gray matter reductions evident in patients at high risk for psychosis Posted: 03 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis have specific gray matter volume reductions, with those who go on to develop full-blown psychosis showing greater specific regional reductions than those who do not, research shows.

Low health literacy linked to high mortality in HF patients Posted: 03 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that the less able patients with heart failure are to understand basic health information, the higher their risk for all-cause mortality.

ACC glia and pyramidal neuron alterations in mood disorder patients Posted: 03 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a UK study show alterations in the anterior cingulate cortex among patients with mood disorders.

Osteoporosis risk increased in women with psychosis and SUD Posted: 02 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with psychosis who also have a substance use disorder and those with a major mood disorder are at significantly increased risk for osteoporosis, research shows.

Possible neurobiological markers of bipolar disorder identified Posted: 02 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT A systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies has identified specific functional and structural brain abnormalities that may be possible neurobiological markers for bipolar disorder.
