Three months anticoagulation sufficient for most VTE Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Continuing anticoagulation for longer than 3 months after venous thromboembolism does not provide additional benefit in terms of reduced recurrence, regardless of the initial thrombus location and the presence of provoking risk factors, study data show.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have ‘novel antithrombotic effects’ Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, combined with dual antiplatelet therapy, can significantly decrease thrombin formation and oxidative stress, and favorably alter fibrin clot properties, say researchers.

Body-weight-supported treadmill rehabilitation under fire Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Locomotor training using a treadmill with body-weight support is not the optimal means of assisting the rehabilitation of stroke survivors with walking impairment, show findings from a randomized trial.

Dead Sea climatotherapy more effective for early-onset psoriasis Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Dead Sea climatotherapy is not only highly effective for treatment of plaque psoriasis, but has the greatest effect on early- versus late-onset forms of the disease, report researchers.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have ‘novel antithrombotic effects’ Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, combined with dual antiplatelet therapy, can significantly decrease thrombin formation and oxidative stress, and favorably alter fibrin clot properties, say researchers.

Obesity influences the cardiorespiratory benefits of exercise Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The benefits of physical activity on cardiorespiratory fitness may be offset by obesity, US study findings suggest.

Women with glucose intolerance at high risk for atherosclerosis Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with glucose intolerance may be at greater risk for early atherosclerotic changes than men, show study findings.

Glycated hemoglobin inaccurate for Type II diabetes diagnosis in She Chinese Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diagnosis of Type II diabetes should not be based on glycated hemoglobin levels when assessing She Chinese people, suggest study findings showing low test sensitivity for this population.

GDF-15 strong predictor of CVD mortality in adults Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT US researchers report that growth differentiation factor-15 is a strong predictor of mortality in community-dwelling older adults.

PAD predicts worse clinical course of HF Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT The presence of peripheral arterial disease is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, a substudy of HF-ACTION suggests.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have ‘novel antithrombotic effects’ Posted: 26 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, combined with dual antiplatelet therapy, can significantly decrease thrombin formation and oxidative stress, and favorably alter fibrin clot properties, say researchers.
