H. pylori infection protects against allergic asthma Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Infection with Helicobacter pylori seems to confer protection against the development of allergic asthma, a study in mice reveals.

Life expectancy reduced in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder patients Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Danish study show that individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder have a significantly shorter life expectancy than the general population, indicating an increased need for healthcare services to address the physical health problems of this patient group.

Childhood ADHD features linked to mood disorders in adulthood Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a South Korean study show that adults with mood disorders are significantly more likely to have experienced features of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood than mentally healthy adults.

Psoriatic arthritis patients lack vitamin D Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT There is a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency among people with psoriatic arthritis, study findings show.

Allium vegetables may protect against gastric cancer Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT People who eat large quantities of Allium vegetables have a reduced risk for gastric cancer, results of a meta-analysis indicate.

Allium vegetables may protect against gastric cancer Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT People who eat large quantities of Allium vegetables have a reduced risk for gastric cancer, results of a meta-analysis indicate.

Impaired glycemic, BP variability linked to CV damage markers in diabetes Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Impaired glycemic variability and blood pressure variability are associated with markers of endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular damage in well controlled, uncomplicated Type 2 diabetic patients, research shows.

Effects of Angiopoietin-2, soluble Tie-2 molecules in diabetes clarified Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that angiopoietin-2 and soluble Tie-2 levels may indicate metabolic control and risk for disease complications in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Stopping aspirin increases MI risk in CVD patients Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with a history of cardiovascular events who stop taking low-dose aspirin are at higher risk for nonfatal myocardial infarction than those who continue treatment, say researchers.

Low homoarginine increases risk for cardiac death Posted: 21 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Homoarginine deficiency significantly increases risk for fatal cardiovascular events in coronary angiography patients, a study suggests.

Change in vena cava filter use ‘not supported by science’ Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Vena cava filters are being used for an increasing number of reasons, despite a lack of supporting evidence, researchers believe.

HER expression in gastric cancers defined Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT All members of the human epidermal growth factor receptor are expressed in gastric cancers, with HER2 and HER3 linked particularly strongly with poor survival, results published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology show.

HER expression in gastric cancers defined Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT All members of the human epidermal growth factor receptor are expressed in gastric cancers, with HER2 and HER3 linked particularly strongly with poor survival, results published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology show.

Brain impact of diabetes greater in women than men Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with Type 2 diabetes have significantly reduced hippocampal volume compared with nondiabetic women, report researchers.

Low-dose doxycycline for gum disease reduces HbA1c in Type 2 diabetics Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with low, sub-antimicrobial doses of doxycycline can help reduce glycated hemoglobin in patients with Type 2 diabetes and chronic gum disease or periodontitis, suggest study findings.

US FDA approves ticagrelor Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

HCM patients with ICDs likely to experience shocks, complications Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with implanted cardioverter defibrillators often experience frequent shocks and complications, and have a high risk for dying from cardiovascular causes, UK researchers show.
