DNMs linked to schizophrenia risk Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia have an increased frequency of de novo gene mutations, research shows.

Annual cost of bipolar disorder in UK ‘considerable’ Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT The management of bipolar disorder costs the UK National Health Service an estimated £342 million per year, research suggests.

Colorectal cancer mortality rates highest in southern US states Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Mortality from colorectal cancer shows marked variation across the United States, with the North-East showing the most progress in reducing mortality while southern states lag behind.

Colorectal cancer mortality rates highest in southern US states Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Mortality from colorectal cancer shows marked variation across the United States, with the North-East showing the most progress in reducing mortality while southern states lag behind.

Repeat more successful than initial AF ablation Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Repeat atrial fibrillation ablations are more successful than the initial one, US researchers report.

Early DVT predictors could guide prophylaxis post-stroke Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Prophylactic deep venous thrombosis treatment is "reasonable" in stroke patients with normal fibrinogen levels and increased levels of C-reactive protein, report clinicians.

Anti-anemia drugs raise stroke risk in CKD patients Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in patients with chronic kidney disease increases their risk for having a stroke, shows research.

Lp-PLA<sub>2</sub> mass and activity shows racial variation Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT The mass and activity level of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 varies according to race, say researchers who add that the finding may need to be considered when assessing cardiovascular risk.

Ten SNPs linked with effectiveness of statins to reduce MI risk Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms in eight genes modify statins' effectiveness in reducing the risk for myocardial infarction, research shows.

High dairy intake in adolescence may reduce risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that girls who consume large amounts of dairy in adolescence are less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes in middle age than those who consume low amounts.

HbA1c predicts CVD in hypercholesterolemic patients Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Risk for cardiovascular disease increases linearly with glycated hemoglobin level in hypercholesterolemic individuals, Japanese researchers report.

Use absolute cTn change for AMI diagnosis, advise researchers Posted: 17 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Absolute changes in cardiac troponin levels provide significantly greater diagnostic accuracy for acute myocardial infarction than relative changes, a study indicates.
