Alarm raised over infant anesthesia exposure Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Multiple exposures to general anesthesia before the age of 2 years may harm children's cognitive development, research suggests.

Ticagrelor does not affect pulmonary function in ACS patients Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT A substudy of the PLATO trial has shown that ticagrelor does not adversely affect pulmonary function in acute coronary syndrome patients.

Assessing coronary collateralization may be useful for risk stratification in CAD Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Coronary artery disease patients with high coronary collateralization have a significantly lower mortality risk than those with low collateralization, a meta-analysis suggests.

Insulin signaling components predict diabetes, atherosclerosis risk Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Insulin resistance and subclinical atherosclerosis are associated with reduction in components of insulin signal transduction pathways and genetic modifiers of insulin action, say researchers.

Double reflux required for severe post-op reflux esophagitis Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Japanese researchers have shed light on the impact of acid and bile reflux, and Helicobacter pylori infection on the development of reflux esophagitis in patients who undergo esophageal resection.

Pregnancy outcomes in FH do not differ from the general population Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Genetically determined elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol does not adversely affect pregnancy outcome, say Norwegian researchers.

Gene variation modulates effect of PUFAs on plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids increase total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in carriers of an ABCG1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism, researchers report.

Anxiety and externalizing disorders precede adolescent bipolar disorder Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Childhood anxiety and externalizing disorders, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, are associated with an increased risk for major affective illness in adolescence, research shows.

CRP predicts heart disease in schizophrenia patients Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Elevated C-reactive protein levels in patients with schizophrenia are associated with a high 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease, research shows.

Suboptimal AF management of concern in stroke prevention Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Management of stroke risk factors is improving, but remains suboptimal, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation, say UK researchers.

Australia issues bleeding warning for dabigatran Posted: 13 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Australia's regulatory authority for therapeutic goods, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (), has issued a safety advisory for the oral anticoagulant dabigatran following increased reports of adverse events.

Obesity attenuates glycemic control with sitagliptin therapy Posted: 12 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increased body mass index attenuates the blood glucose-lowering effect of sitagliptin in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report Japanese researchers.

One-to-one education beats group sessions in diabetes self-management Posted: 12 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Improved glycemic control in diabetes is more achievable with individual education than with group education or usual care, report US researchers.

PSA should not be used for prostate cancer screening in healthy men Posted: 12 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended against prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer, saying it does more harm than good.
