Telmisartan does not improve glucose levels in high-risk patients Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Addition of the angiotensin receptor blocker telmisartan to usual care does not prevent incident diabetes in people at high risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes, research shows.

Glycemic control predicts unfavorable outcome in ischemic stroke Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Prestroke glycemic control may predict clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients, report Japanese researchers.

Childhood maltreatment linked to poorer BD outcomes Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Childhood abuse and neglect are significantly associated with poorer outcomes in patients with bipolar disorder, a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies suggest.

Neurological soft signs show familial association in schizophrenia Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Neurological soft signs are more common in schizophrenia patients and unaffected first-degree relatives than in people without a family history of the condition, a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies show.

Epicardial fat volume linked with progression of atherosclerosis Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increases in epicardial fat volume are associated with progression of coronary artery calcification in intermediate-risk patients, research shows.

Influence of SNPs on lipid levels consistent across different races Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT An analysis of the effects of 57 confirmed lipid-associated variants showed that the frequency of these polymorphisms varies significantly across multiple ethnic populations in the USA.

Telmisartan does not improve glucose levels in high-risk patients Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Addition of the angiotensin receptor blocker telmisartan to usual care does not prevent incident diabetes in people at high risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes, research shows.

Glycemic control predicts unfavorable outcome in ischemic stroke Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Prestroke glycemic control may predict clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients, report Japanese researchers.

Metformin treatment for GDM has fewer adverse effects than insulin Posted: 21 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a study carried out in routine practice suggest that metformin treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus may result in fewer adverse events than insulin therapy.
