Frontal and nonfrontal cortical thickness linked to insight in FEP patients Posted: 16 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Canadian study suggest that reduced cortical thickness in both the frontal and nonfrontal cortices is associated with poor insight in first-episode psychosis patients.

DLEs linked to family history of variety of mental health disorders Posted: 16 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Delusional-like experiences are associated with a family history of a wide range of mental health disorders, research suggests.

Thrombolysis may increase mortality in normotensive PE patients Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Thrombolysis may increase mortality when used instead of standard anticoagulation to treat pulmonary embolism in patients with normal blood pressure, study data show.

ALIAS on course for positive result? Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT An efficacy analysis of the prematurely halted ALIAS trial suggests that the restarted trial could be well placed to detect a benefit of albumin in patients with acute stroke.

High plasma CET rate predicts incident CVD Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT High rates of plasma cholesteryl ester transfer, but not cholesteryl ester transfer protein mass, can predict incident cardiovascular disease, research shows.

School-based intervention improves CV, diabetes risk Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT A school-based intervention leads to significant improvements in cardiovascular disease risk markers and lifestyle behaviors, research shows.

HIV infection may be risk factor for heart failure Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT HIV infection appears to be a risk factor for heart failure, with the risk being proportional to viral load, new research suggests.

CAC score predicts all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes with a coronary artery calcium score above 10 have increased all-cause mortality compared with their peers with lower scores, report US researchers.

Once weekly exenatide likely to be cost effective Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Once weekly exenatide treatment for Type 2 diabetes is likely to be cost effective when compared with daily insulin glargine, suggest study results.

School-based intervention improves CV, diabetes risk Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT A school-based intervention leads to significant improvements in cardiovascular disease risk markers and lifestyle behaviors, research shows.

HIV infection may be risk factor for heart failure Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT HIV infection appears to be a risk factor for heart failure, with the risk being proportional to viral load, new research suggests.

AHA endorses wider use of cardiac catheterization in children Posted: 15 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Cardiac catheterization should be used more widely for the treatment of rather than just diagnosis of pediatric cardiac disease, according to a new statement from the American Heart Association.
