Early revascularization may reduce refractory ischemia in NSTE-ACS Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Early coronary revascularization may markedly reduce the incidence of refractory ischemia in non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients, research suggests.

Uncertainty remains over out-of-hospital cardiac arrest guidelines Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The results of the two-component Prehospital Resuscitation Impedance Valve and Early Versus Delayed Analysis trial have revealed further uncertainties over existing guidelines for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Early intervention reduces modifiable CHD risk in diabetes Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT An early intervention based on multifactorial treatment goals can reduce modifiable 10-year risk for coronary heart disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes, research shows.

Healthy behavior reduces diabetes risk, irrespective of obesity, family history Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adopting a combination of healthy behaviors could provide a substantial reduction in risk for diabetes, research suggests.

Large waist circumference only associated with risk for death in nonobese Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The risk for death among African-American women increases with an increasing body mass index of 25 kg/m2 or more, US study findings suggest. However, a larger waist circumference was associated with an increased risk for death only among nonobese women.

Combination of FDA-recommended foods reduces LDL cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A diet that emphasizes the incorporation of plant sterols, soy protein, viscous fibers, and nuts effectively lowers levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with hyperlipidemia, results of a randomized controlled trial suggest.

Online follow-up is effective for psoriasis patients Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that an online follow-up system for individuals with psoriasis is just as effective as standard in-office follow-up.

Raw farm milk consumption may lower asthma risk in children Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Consumption of raw milk directly from farms may lower the risk for developing asthma in children, show study findings suggesting the association may be mediated by the whey protein fraction of milk.

Stroke center designation cancels out weekend mortality effect Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Admission to a comprehensive stroke center cancels out the increased mortality risk faced by stroke patients admitted at a weekend versus a weekday, research suggests.

Cx37 platelet membrane regulates platelet function, thrombosis Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that the platelet membrane protein connexin 37 negatively regulates platelet function, implicating Cx37 genotype as a risk marker for thrombosis.

Genetic markers for PsA identified Posted: 01 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Canadian research results confirm a previous association between a human leukocyte antigen risk allele and psoriatic arthritis and identify several further potential genetic markers for the condition among patients with psoriasis.
