Cholesterol levels linked to impulsivity in patients with mood symptoms Posted: 08 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Low cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk for attentional impulsivity in patients with mood symptoms, study results show.

Oral Health ‘poor’ in schizophrenia patients Posted: 08 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia have significantly worse oral health than individuals without the mental health disorder, show Spanish study results.

Surfactant protein-D ‘strong predictor’ of CVD Posted: 08 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Research suggests that lung-specific surfactant protein-D is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.

Cardiac troponin at 72 hours best predicts mortality after CABG Posted: 08 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers say they have identified the cardiac troponin measurement that best predicts mid-term mortality after CABG surgery.

Mood state linked to differences in gray matter density in BD patients Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a preliminary US study suggest that patients with bipolar disorder display differences in gray matter density according to mood state.

Selenium supplementation shows ‘modest benefits’ in older adults Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Daily supplementation with selenium may have beneficial effects on plasma lipid levels in older adults, results from a UK study suggest.

<i>APOE</i> variant may protect against obesity complications Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT An apolipoprotein E gene variant may protect against some of the complications of obesity, results of a Brazilian study suggest.

Detectable cardiac troponin T linked to CVD in women with diabetes Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Detectable levels of cardiac troponin T are predictive of cardiovascular disease and death in diabetic, but not nondiabetic women, show study results.

Adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have impaired CV exercise tolerance Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have greater cardiovascular impairment during exercise compared with their nondiabetic peers, suggest Canadian study results.

On- and off-pump CABG outcomes similar Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT US research has shown that on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with similar outcomes to off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Right ventricle size and function influenced by age, gender, race Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT A large imaging study of the right ventricle has shown that differences in its size and function are associated with age, gender, and race.

Adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have impaired CV exercise tolerance Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have greater cardiovascular impairment during exercise compared with their nondiabetic peers, suggest Canadian study results.
