Sibling history may predict VTE risk Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT A sibling history of venous thromboembolism appears to be an important risk factor for developing the condition, researchers report.

Socioeconomic status delays optimal stroke care Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with low socioeconomic status are at risk for receiving suboptimal acute stroke care, say researchers.

DLEs linked to suicidal thoughts and behaviour Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Delusional-like experiences are associated with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts in the general population, Australian research shows.

Personality profile may distinguish unipolar from bipolar depression in women Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Novelty seeking and self-transcendence subscores on the Temperament and Character Inventory may help distinguish depressed women with bipolar disorder type II from those with unipolar depression, suggest Japanese study results.

Balance of bean, white rice intake affects cardiometabolic health Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Limiting white rice consumption and increasing daily intake of beans may lower cardiometabolic risk, study findings suggest.

Fish consumption may reduce heart failure risk Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results of a US study support existing recommendations that adults consume at least two servings of fish, especially oily fish, per week.

Enteral nutrition best for postoperative pancreatic fistula Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Enteral nutrition is superior to total parenteral nutrition in patients who develop a postoperative pancreatic fistula, results from a randomized controlled trial show.

Substituting white for brown rice has no metabolic impact Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Substituting white rice with brown rice has no major impact on metabolic risk factors in middle-aged Chinese men and women with diabetes or at high risk for diabetes, study results show.

Glycemic index, not load, predicts diabetes in middle-aged Japanese men Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Dietary glycemic index is associated with the incidence of diabetes in middle-aged Japanese men, report researchers.

Warfarin treatment in AF ‘varies significantly’ across practices Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Warfarin treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation is suboptimal and varies significantly across practices, study findings suggest.

Follow-up after HF hospitalization linked to physician density, patient factors Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Early physician follow-up after heart failure hospitalization is associated with physician density, geographic location, socioeconomic status, gender, race, and comorbidity, US researchers say.

Doubt cast over benefit of zinc supplementation in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 07 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Oral zinc supplementation does not ameliorate oxidative stress or improve vascular function in men with Type 2 diabetes who have normal zinc levels, study results show.

Case managers improve CVD risk factors in diabetes patients Posted: 07 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The assignment of a nurse case manager to patients with diabetes improves the control of cardiovascular risk factors, US research shows.
