Childhood asthma severity underestimated by parents Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Parents of children with asthma underestimate the severity of their child's disease and overestimate its control in comparison with guideline recommendations, which may hamper efforts toward- optimal asthma treatment, conclude researchers.

Reduced adiposity decreases PAI-1 levels in obese diabetic patients Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Sustained weight loss over a 1-year period significantly decreases plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes, researchers report.

Aerobic better than resistance exercise for improving cardiometabolic health Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Aerobic exercise training improves the metabolic syndrome and its component risk factors to a greater extent than resistance training, report US researchers.

LBP is potential risk marker for CAD Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT High levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein are associated with increased total and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with or without stable coronary artery disease, suggests an analysis of the LURIC study.

Reduced adiposity decreases PAI-1 levels in obese diabetic patients Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Sustained weight loss over a 1-year period significantly decreases plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes, researchers report.

NICE deem ranibizumab too expensive for treating diabetic macular edema Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Draft guidance issued by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence in the UK does not recommend ranibizumab treatment for patients with sight loss due to diabetic macular edema.

Homogeneous, heterogeneous DES have similar clinical outcomes Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Korean researchers have found that the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with overlapping heterogeneous drug-eluting stents are similar to those of patients with overlapping homogenous DES.

Cardiac calculator predicts risk for perioperative MI and cardiac arrest Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have created a cardiac risk calculator that has higher predictive power for perioperative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest than the Revised Cardiac Risk Index.

Iron deficiency detected in half of IPAH patients Posted: 12 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension commonly have iron deficiency that appears to be due to impaired iron absorption and is linked to reduced exercise capacity, Dutch study findings indicate.
