Specialist inpatient treatment benefits patients with refractory affective disorders Posted: 24 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Specialist, multidisciplinary inpatient treatment is effective for reducing depression among patients with severe and treatment-resistant affective disorders, UK research shows.

Type 2 diabetes increases mortality risk in schizophrenia patients Posted: 24 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The presence of Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased mortality risk in patients with schizophrenia, study results suggest.

Colorectal cancer risk in IBD stable for past 30-years Posted: 24 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The risk for colorectal cancer in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has not increased in recent years, and has not worsened with the use of immunomodulators and biologic drugs, suggest study findings.

Colorectal cancer risk in IBD stable for past 30-years Posted: 24 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The risk for colorectal cancer in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has not increased in recent years, and has not worsened with the use of immunomodulators and biologic drugs, suggest study findings.

Coffee drinkers may have reduced clot risk Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT People who drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee per day are a third less likely to suffer venous thromboembolism than people who do not drink coffee at all, results from the population-based Tromsø study show.

Call to reconsider MI as stroke thrombolysis contraindication Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Withholding thrombolysis from stroke patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months may be over cautious, say researchers.

Novel breast cancer treatment target discovered Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified a new protein involved in the development of breast cancer drug resistance, which could be a target for new treatments.

Fetal/infant exposure to severe Chinese famine increases risk for the metabolic syndrome Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Exposure to the Chinese famine during fetal life or infancy is associated with an increased risk for the metabolic syndrome, researchers report.

Omega-3 fatty acid levels not associated with arteriosclerosis in Japanese men Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Serum levels of omega-3 fatty acids are not associated with arterial stiffness/wave reflection in middle-aged Japanese men, a population known for its high dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids, research shows.

Antihypertensive therapy for normotensive diabetics questioned Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Research shows that the antihypertensive therapy candesartan modestly reduces the risk for vascular complications in patients with diabetes already treated for hypertension.

Insulin benefits lung function most in cystic fibrosis patients with IGT Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Insulin has a significant beneficial effect on lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis only if started when they have impaired glucose tolerance rather than normal glucose tolerance or diabetes, say researchers.

Fetal/infant exposure to severe Chinese famine increases risk for the metabolic syndrome Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Exposure to the Chinese famine during fetal life or infancy is associated with an increased risk for the metabolic syndrome, researchers report.

HF patients may be at increased fracture risk Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that heart failure patients may be at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures.

Transcatheter approach feasible for tricuspid regurgitation Posted: 23 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Severe tricuspid regurgitation may be successfully treated using a transcatheter approach, according to a first-in-man report published in the European Heart Journal.
