Rivaroxaban reaches primary endpoint in phase III ACS trial Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Preliminary findings of the ATLAS-ACS trial have been announced, revealing that the new direct factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban has met its primary efficacy endpoint.

Intensive therapy does not reduce cognitive decline in diabetes patients Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Intensive glycemic control preserves total brain volume to a greater extent than standard treatment strategy in Type 2 diabetes patients, report researchers.

OGTT a reliable measure of insulin sensitivity in healthy, not IGT individuals Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The oral glucose tolerance test seems to be reliable for measuring changes in insulin sensitivity over time in healthy individuals, Australian researchers show.

Behaviorally-based treatment effective for weight loss Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Behavior-oriented interventions can help overweight adults achieve meaningful weight loss, suggests findings of a systematic review.

CV health influenced by fetal growth, preterm birth Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Fetal growth and preterm birth both influence cardiovascular risk factors and arterial health in young adults, research shows.

Absolute risk for suicide remains high in mental health disorder patients Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Among patients with mental health disorders, the absolute risk for suicide is greatest in men with bipolar disorder and women with schizophrenia, research shows.

Schizophrenia patients show abnormal fiber geometry in the corpus callosum Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia exhibit abnormal fiber geometry in the corpus callosum, which may indicate transcallosal misconnection, say researchers.

Congenital heart defect patients at risk for psychiatric disorders Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with congenital heart defects are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders, say Danish researchers.

Frailty, comorbidity, quality of life help risk prediction in PCI patients Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Frailty, comorbidity, and poor quality of life are common after percutaneous coronary intervention, and are associated with increased myocardial infarction and mortality risks, a study suggests.

Insulin sensitivity of the brain linked to control of weight and body fat Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT High insulin sensitivity of the brain is associated with stricter adherence to physical activity targets, as well as reduction of dietary fat and saturated fatty acids, show German researchers.

Poor diastolic function in diabetes not dependent on previously described mechanisms Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The altered myocardial and microvasculature structure previously described in diabetic heart disease is a consequence rather than a cause of cardiac dysfunction, research suggests.
