Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves post-MI outcomes Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction reduces mortality and reinfarction risk, regardless of the length of the intervention, concludes a team of US and Canadian investigators.

Efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death in young adults ‘should be increased’ Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Factors linked to sudden unexplained death should be assessed and atherosclerotic heart disease prevention should be extended in order to reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death in young adults, say US and German clinicians.

Fast eaters have increased IGT risk Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Eating quickly is a potent risk factor for the development of impaired glucose tolerance, say Japanese researchers.

Bisphenol A levels related to diabetes risk Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Urinary bisphenol A levels are not associated with risk for developing diabetes, research shows.

Laparoscopy and fast-track peri-operative program improves colonic transit Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Laparoscopic surgery and a program of fast-track peri-operative care significantly improves gastrointestinal transport after colonic surgery, research shows.

Dalcetrapib treatment reduces adverse vascular changes in CHD patients Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that treatment with dalcetrapib, a modulator of cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity, may be associated with favorable vascular changes in patients with or at high risk for coronary heart disease.

Low triglycerides associated with increased risk for intracerebral hemorrhage Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Measuring serum triglyceride levels may aid in the identification of people at risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, study findings suggest.

Corpus callosum alterations in BD ‘linked to disease not genetics’ Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Corpus callosum abnormalities in patients with bipolar disorder appear to be disease related, rather than reflecting a genetic vulnerability to the illness, a US study of twins suggests.

Schizophrenia and epilepsy linked ‘bidirectionally’ Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Taiwanese study suggest that that schizophrenia patients have a significantly increased risk for epilepsy, while those with epilepsy have a significantly increased risk for schizophrenia.

Healthy lifestyle protects against ischemic, hemorrhagic stroke Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT People can reduce their risk for all types of stroke simply by living a healthy lifestyle, say researchers.

Low triglycerides associated with increased risk for intracerebral hemorrhage Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Measuring serum triglyceride levels may aid in the identification of people at risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, study findings suggest.

Clot architecture is altered in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm Posted: 19 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm form denser, smaller-pored plasma clots that are more resistant to fibrinolysis than individuals without the condition, UK research shows.
