MPAs linked to increased psychosis vulnerability in high-risk youth Posted: 14 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a preliminary US study suggest that elevated levels of minor physical anomalies may indicate increased vulnerability to psychosis among high-risk individuals.

Atypical antipsychotics linked to OSA in depressed patients Posted: 14 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT The use of atypical antipsychotics is associated with an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea in patients with depression, but not in those with bipolar disorder or other mental health conditions, research suggests.

Gastric tumor characteristics differ among patients with, without H. pylori eradication Posted: 14 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients who develop gastric cancers after previous, successful eradication of Helicobacter pylori have tumors with different clinicopathological characteristics to those seen in patients with persistent infection, show study findings.

Ultra-low molecular weight heparin feasible for cancer patients Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT A novel ultra-low molecular weight heparin, semuloparin, significantly reduces the risk for venous thromboembolism compared with placebo, without increasing the risk for bleeding, a study among patients with cancer has shown.

In-stent restenosis a problem after Wingspan intracranial stenting Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT The high risk for recurrent events seen after intracranial stenting in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis continues to about 6 months after the procedure, research suggests.

Beta-blockers linked to more favorable breast cancer disease characteristics Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Use of propranolol, a nonselective β1/β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, is associated with less advanced breast cancer at diagnosis and reduced disease-specific mortality, study findings indicate.

High triglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio predicts Type 2 diabetes Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT A high triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, as well as high triglycerides, are significant predictors of Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

Mediterranean diet improves apolipoproteins, reduces CHD risk Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adopting a traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern, particularly one enriched with olive oil, has beneficial effects on apolipoproteins, shows Spanish research.

Fatty acid intake influences effect of gene variant on lipid levels Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT The association between a variant in the fatty acid desaturase 1 gene and serum lipid levels is influenced by dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, study findings suggest.

High triglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio predicts Type 2 diabetes Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT A high triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, as well as high triglycerides, are significant predictors of Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

High homocysteine linked to hippocampal atrophy in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that high total plasma homocysteine levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes are associated with a greater degree of hippocampal atrophy than low levels.

PTH predicts CV event recurrence, mortality in CHD patients Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT German researchers have found that parathyroid hormone is independently associated with secondary cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in coronary heart disease patients.

CABG combined with stem cells improves cardiac outcomes Posted: 13 Jun 2011 05:00 PM PDT Chinese research indicates that isolated coronary artery bypass graft combined with bone marrow mononuclear cells delivered through a graft vessel could improve outcomes in patients with previous myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure .
