Diet rich in omega-3, bilberries, whole grains reduces CV risk markers Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A diet high in fatty fish, bilberries, and whole-grain products may improve endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in overweight and obese individuals at high risk for developing diabetes, report researchers.

SNS effective long-term for treatment of fecal incontinence Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Sacral nerve stimulation is an effective long-term treatment for fecal incontinence, research shows.

<i>NR3C1</i> SNPs linked to depression predominance in BD Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor gene NR3C1 are significantly associated with major depressive disorder and depression predominance in patients with bipolar disorde, research shows.

Gender differences in smoking cessation among FEP patients Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Gender is significantly associated with smoking cessation rates in first episode psychosis patients, with women significantly less likely to quit the habit than men, researchers have found.

Rivaroxaban benefits consistent in moderate CKD patients Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The stroke-preventive effects of rivaroxaban are evident in patients with atrial fibrillation and moderate chronic kidney disease and are not associated with an increased bleeding risk, shows a subanalysis of ROCKET AF.

Insurance status impacts acute VTE care Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Uninsured patients with venous thromboembolism have longer hospital stays and are more likely to return to the emergency department postdischarge than insured patients with the same condition, US research shows.

Educational program lowers BP, reduces cardiac risk in hypertensive patients Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A structured educational program could improve management of blood pressure and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease, Austrian researchers say.

Menopause may not affect women’s risk for heart disease after all Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The idea that women become more at risk for cardiovascular disease after undergoing the menopause, due to the loss of protective female sex hormones, may not be true, US researchers say.

Alcohol-related events lower survival in late-onset Type 1 diabetes Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The survival of Finnish patients with early-onset Type 1 diabetes has improved over recent decades, research shows.

Inflammation-activated proteins crucial for maintaining good blood sugar Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Boosting the activity of the inflammatory protein p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase can normalize blood glucose in diabetic mice, report researchers in the journal Nature Medicine.

Educational program lowers BP, reduces cardiac risk in hypertensive patients Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A structured educational program could improve management of blood pressure and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease, Austrian researchers say.

Lipid profiling useful tool for unstable CAD risk stratification Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Plasma lipid profiling may be useful for the identification of unstable atherosclerotic plaques in patients with coronary artery disease, study findings suggest.

Most AMI patients treated with pitavastatin reach LDL cholesterol targets Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Korean researchers have found that daily administration of pitavastatin can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to below current target levels in most acute myocardial infarction patients within 1 year.

Menopausal hormone therapy does not increase skin cancer risk Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Menopausal hormone therapy does not increase the likelihood of developing melanoma or nonmelanoma skin cancer, suggest study findings.

Low-dose rtPA may help IVH patients Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Thrombolytic therapy to remove blood clots is feasible in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular bleeding, shows a preliminary study.

Persistently elevated D-dimer at discharge predict recurrent VTE Posted: 11 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Persistently abnormal plasma D-dimer levels at hospital discharge have a high negative predictive value for recurrent venous thromboembolism in patients with acute pulmonary embolism, suggest study findings.

Mood disorders ‘a major cause of hospitalization during adolescence’ Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Mood disorders are a major cause of hospital admission in childhood and adolescence, suggesting that more effective interventions are needed to prevent or treat these conditions in the community, say US researchers.

Mood disorders ‘a major cause of hospitalization during adolescence’ Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Mood disorders are a major cause of hospital admission in childhood and adolescence, suggesting that more effective interventions are needed to prevent or treat these conditions in the community, say US researchers.

Schizophrenia patients show excessive cortical thinning over time Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia demonstrate excessive thinning of the cortex over time relative to mentally healthy individuals, study results show.

Schizophrenia patients show excessive cortical thinning over time Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia demonstrate excessive thinning of the cortex over time relative to mentally healthy individuals, study results show.
