Trauma and PTSD common in schizophrenia patients with substance abuse Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Trauma and comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder are common in patients with schizophrenia who are substance abusers, UK research shows.

Neuropsychological function reduced in BD II patients with comorbid anxiety Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Comorbid anxiety disorder is associated with reduced neuropsychologic function in patients with bipolar II disorder, show results from a Taiwanese study.

Grape seed extract has mixed CV effects Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Grape seed extract has varied effects on markers of cardiovascular risk, a study shows.

Researchers identify indicator of atherosclerotic progression Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increases in the number of smooth muscle cell-derived foam cells could be an important indicator of atherosclerotic progression, study findings suggest.

Pancreatic beta-cell glycosylation linked with diabetes Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT An animal study conducted by US researchers provides evidence of a pathway to diabetes resulting from high levels of dietary fat.

Metformin–acarbose better than existing combinations in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The combination of metformin and acarbose in patients with Type 2 diabetes appears to control glucose variability more effectively than the established combination of metformin and glibenclamide, study results show.

Gender, rhythm, CPR duration independently predict death after ICU cardiac arrest Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Gender, presenting rhythm, and duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are independent predictors of mortality 24 hours after cardiac arrest in an intensive care unit, study findings suggest.

Selective DES use supported Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Selective use of drug-eluting stents in percutaneous coronary intervention patients does not increase the risk for adverse outcomes and saves billions in healthcare costs, study results indicate.

Nut consumption may improve glycemic control in diabetes Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes who consume 75 g of mixed nuts every day as a replacement for an energy-equivalent amount of carbohydrate show improved glycemic control and lipid profile, study results show.

Nut consumption may improve glycemic control in diabetes Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes who consume 75 g of mixed nuts every day as a replacement for an energy-equivalent amount of carbohydrate show improved glycemic control and lipid profile, study results show.
