Depression symptoms common in schizophrenia patients Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Symptoms of depression are common in patients with stable schizophrenia who have not been previously been diagnosed with the mood condition, results from a Spanish study show.

Cholesterol intake linked to hearing loss Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT A diet high in cholesterol could have adverse effects on hearing, whereas treatment with statins and consumption of monounsaturated fats may have beneficial effects, say researchers.

Probiotic bacteria may be effective treatment for IBD Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that patients with inflammatory bowel disease could be treated with a protein derived from a probiotic bacteria found naturally in the gut and in dairy products.

Novel imaging technique used for DVT detection Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have developed a novel peptide that targets fibrin and enables clots to be detected by near-infrared fluorescence imaging.

High-dose methotrexate improves acute lymphoblastic leukemia outcome Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with high-dose methotrexate results in superior event-free survival compared with escalating-dose methotrexate in children and young adults with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, US researchers report.

Fibrates reduce CV risk in dyslipidemic patients Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Fibrate treatment is effective for reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia, a meta-analysis of published studies suggests.

Risk for heart disease after gestational diabetes varies with ethnicity Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women's risk for developing cardiovascular disease after experiencing gestational diabetes mellitus varies according to their ethnicity, say US researchers.

SPECT holds promise for detecting cardiovascular disease in diabetics Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Myocardial fatty acid metabolism imaging is a useful technique for predicting adverse cardiac events in diabetic patients with no prior history of cardiovascular disease, suggest study findings.

Risk for heart disease after gestational diabetes varies with ethnicity Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women's risk for developing cardiovascular disease after experiencing gestational diabetes mellitus varies according to their ethnicity, say US researchers.

SPECT holds promise for detecting cardiovascular disease in diabetics Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Myocardial fatty acid metabolism imaging is a useful technique for predicting adverse cardiac events in diabetic patients with no prior history of cardiovascular disease, suggest study findings.

Left atrial strain may help predict adverse events in AMI patients Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Left atrial strain has prognostic value in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, research from The Netherlands suggests.

HGF strong predictor of mortality in HF patients Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Austrian researchers have shown that hepatocyte growth factor is a strong independent predictor of mortality in advanced, ischemic heart failure patients.
