‘Excellent’ outcomes after H. pylori eradication for gastric MALT lymphoma Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Data from a Japanese cohort confirm the long-term benefits of Helicobacter pylori eradication for the treatment of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.

Probiotic consumption lowers cholesterol Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Consuming probiotics can have a significant cholesterol-lowering effect in individuals with high, borderline high, and normal cholesterol levels, shows a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Maternal FH inheritance increases mortality risk Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results of a Dutch study suggest that mortality rates are significantly higher when familial hypercholesterolemia is inherited through the mother than through the father.

Factors linked to nondischarge from psychiatric rehabilitation identified Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Self harm, suicide attempts, and previous care in forensic psychiatric services are significantly associated with failure to achieve discharge from inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation, research shows.

Somatic comorbidity a significant cause of excess mortality in psychiatric patients Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Danish study suggest that chronic somatic diseases account for nearly half the excess mortality observed in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Cardiac rehabilitation improves risk profile after mild stroke Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with mild stroke who enter a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program achieve marked improvements in their vascular risk profile, shows research.

Historic VTE risk factors do not impact recurrence risk Posted: 22 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Asking a patient about past exposure to venous thrombosis risk factors long before the occurrence of a first venous thrombosis occurred does not help predict their risk for recurrence, researchers report.

Increased bone resorption predicts bone metastasis in breast cancer Posted: 21 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A high pretreatment serum level of beta C-telopeptide, a marker of bone resorption, is a significant predictor of bone-only metastasis in postmenopausal women with breast cancer, study findings indicate.

EPO shows no benefit as PCI adjunct in STEMI Posted: 21 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT High-dose erythropoietin has no effect on myocardial infarct size when administered as an adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention and may even be detrimental, results of a randomized controlled trial show.

Add-on dapagliflozin beneficial in uncontrolled diabetes Posted: 21 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Dapagliflozin is an effective and safe add-on therapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes uncontrolled by glimepiride alone, research shows.

Vildagliptin an effective add-on in patients with renal disease Posted: 21 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Vildagliptin treatment is well-tolerated and effective in patients with Type 2 diabetes and moderate or severe renal impairment, research suggests.
