At least 3-yearly BP checks advised in primary care Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers recommend that healthy people should have their blood pressure checked at least every 3 years in primary care.

MRI likely safe for patients with defibrillators Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Serial magnetic resonance imaging has no adverse effect on patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators, suggest US researchers.

Obesity linked to reduced lung function in MetS and Diabetes Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Reduced pulmonary function is independently associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes in American Indians, report researchers.

Additional pre-prandial insulin glulisine improves glycemic control Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A pre-prandial dose of insulin glulisine significantly improves glucose control in Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by basal insulin plus oral hypoglycemic agents, research shows.

At least 3-yearly BP checks advised in primary care Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers recommend that healthy people should have their blood pressure checked at least every 3 years in primary care.

One in four revascularization patients at high residual risk for CV events Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT More than one in four patients with a history of coronary revascularization has lipid levels suggestive of high residual cardiovascular risk, research shows.

Shift to proinflammatory HDL cholesterol in ACS Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT High-density lipoprotein cholesterol is remodeled in acute coronary syndrome patients, research shows.

Women wanting labial surgery are probably ‘normal’ Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women seeking labial reduction surgery for cosmetic reasons are likely to be within normal ranges for width and length measurements, show the results of a UK study.

Oncolytic poxvirus shows promise for cancer therapy Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results of a phase I clinical trial show that an oncolytic poxvirus selectively infects, replicates, and expresses transgene products in cancer tissue after intravenous infusion, in a dose-related fashion.

Sleep disordered breathing in overweight patients linked to nighttime ACS Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Overweight patients with sleep-disordered breathing are at increased risk for late-night acute coronary syndrome events, research shows.

‘Small’ differences in cognitive outcomes after CAS, CEA Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients requiring carotid revascularization are unlikely to suffer significantly more cognitive impairment if they undergo carotid artery stenting rather than carotid endarterectomy, say researchers.

Mild hereditary thrombophilias raise oral contraceptive related VTE risk Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with a factor V Leiden or prothrombin-20210A mutation have a higher risk for venous thromboembolism from using oral contraceptives than women without such mutations, study findings indicate.

GDNF levels linked to mood state in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 01 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Circulating levels of the glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor are associated with mood state in patients with bipolar disorder, research suggests.

Tardive dyskinesia linked to decreased BDNF in schizophrenia patients Posted: 01 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Tardive dyskinesia is associated with reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with schizophrenia, researchers have found.

Striatal and CMS activation, connectivity linked to depression in BD II Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Striatal and cortical midline structure activation and connectivity abnormalities are associated with depression in patients with bipolar II disorder, US research suggests.

Sleep-wake disturbances increased in schizophrenia patients with mostly positive symptoms Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Portuguese study suggest that schizophrenia patients with predominantly positive symptoms have more disturbed sleep–wake cycles than those with predominantly negative symptoms.

Short telomere load linked to depressive episode number in BD II patients Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar II disorder have a significantly higher load of short telomeres than mentally healthy individuals, research shows.

Daily remote ICD monitoring improves effectiveness Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Findings of two randomized trials support the use of remote monitoring of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

Neurometabolite levels linked to thought disorder in childhood-onset schizophrenia Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Neurometabolite concentrations in brain regions associated with language are correlated with thought disorder severity in young patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia, US research suggests.
