| Methods for controlling pulmonary embolism needed in Africa Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Pulmonary embolism is "not uncommon" in Sub-Saharan Africa and control methods are necessary, say the authors of a study investigating the epidemiology and management of disease in this region. |
| Advancing paternal age raises schizophrenia risk Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increasing paternal age is associated with a significantly increased risk for developing schizophrenia in large families, say Iranian researchers who call for further study of the interaction between the environment and specific genotypes in severe illness. |
| Gamma band brain responses ‘not bipolar endophenotypes’ Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Evoked gamma band responses are heritable traits but are not altered in bipolar disorder patients and do not therefore represent bipolar disorder endophenotypes, says an international team of researchers. |
| Prophylactic contralateral mastectomy ‘cost effective in selected patients’ Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy is cost-effective compared with observation alone in women with unilateral breast cancer, but only in certain patients, researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. |
| Phytosterols from natural foods may decrease cholesterol absorption Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Habitual dietary intake of naturally occurring phytosterol in moderate doses is associated with improved lipid profile and reduced intestinal cholesterol absorption, Spanish research shows. |
| US obesity epidemic continues to grow Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adult obesity rates in the USA have increased in 16 states over the past year, and have nearly doubled in 17 states since 1995, according to a report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. |
| MEDIAS 2 ICT education programme reduces diabetes-related distress Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT A newly developed education programme significantly reduces diabetes-related distress in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes patients, researchers report. |
| Adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have impaired vascular health Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a small exploratory study show that adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have significantly worse brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and carotid intima-media thickness than either obese or nonobese nondiabetic adolescents. |
| US obesity epidemic continues to grow Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adult obesity rates in the USA have increased in 16 states over the past year, and have nearly doubled in 17 states since 1995, according to a report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. |
