Superficial vein thrombosis may increase VTE risk Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Clinically diagnosed superficial vein thrombosis is associated with an increased risk for venous thromboembolism, show results of a population-based study conducted in the Netherlands.

Novel neuroprotection mechanism identified Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers have identified a novel mechanism by which certain neurons are resistant to ischemic damage, in findings that could potentially lead to new therapeutic targets.

Insomnia common in schizophrenia patients Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Insomnia is common among outpatients with schizophrenia and is significantly associated with night eating and obesity, research shows.

Neurocognitive impairment evident in euthymic BD II patients Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Euthymic patients with bipolar II disorder show evidence of neurocognitive impairment, which may affect psychosocial functioning, say researchers.

Nonuniform accumulation of lipids in aortic intimal thickening Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The accumulation of lipids in the intima plays a role in initiating the inflammatory response in atherosclerosis, research shows.

Obesity-related index predicts risk of death in overweight/obese patients Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increased scores on a novel obesity-related health index are associated with an higher mortality risk, Canadian research suggests.

Day-case stapled anopexy effective hemorrhoid management Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Spanish study indicate that stapled anopexy performed as a day-case is an effective treatment for patients with prolapsing hemorrhoids.

HbA1c poorly diagnostic for diabetes in Arab population Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Using glycated hemoglobin to test for diabetes yields a high number of false-negatives in people of Arab ethnicity, research shows.

Diabetes adversely affects cardiac function in aortic stenosis Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes mellitus adversely affects diastolic function in individuals with symptomatic aortic stenosis, research shows.

Risk-based and timely triage, early therapy could enhance STEMI care Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Risk-based triage, early medical therapy, and timely triage to percutaneous coronary intervention could enhance ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction care, say Canadian researchers.

Diastolic dysfunction predisposes to atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery Posted: 22 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have found that left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is an important mechanism underlying the initiation of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
