Regionalized STEMI care may not deliver improved survival Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Regionalization of emergency ST-elevation myocardial infarction care may not reduce mortality rates, despite improving timely reperfusion therapy, shows analysis of the RACE program.

Congenital heart defects raise maternal delivery risks Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Pregnant women with congenital heart defects are at an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes and mortality during admission for delivery, US researchers say.

Statins curb excess recurrent stroke risk in diabetes patients Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients' risk for recurrent stroke is markedly increased if they also have diabetes, but this can be suppressed by atorvastatin treatment, say the SPARCL investigators.

Conflicts of interest prevalent among hyperlipidemia/diabetes guidelines committees Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The prevalence and under-reporting of financial conflicts of interest among panel members producing clinical practice guidelines on hyperlipidemia or diabetes in Canada and the USA is high, researchers report.

Insulin-secreting capacity predicts liraglutide efficacy in diabetes Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Insulin secretion parameters and duration of diabetes are useful for predicting the efficacy of liraglutide in patients with Type 2 diabetes, say Japanese researchers.

miRNA show stool sample screening potential for colorectal cancer Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Levels of two micro RNA molecules in stool samples could be used to screen for colorectal cancer, suggest study findings published in the journal Gut.

Novel lipid phenotype may increase CHD risk Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have discovered a novel lipid phenotype that appears to be more prevalent among Asian than nonAsian populations, and is associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease.

Conflicts of interest prevalent among hyperlipidemia/diabetes guidelines committees Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The prevalence and under-reporting of financial conflicts of interest among panel members producing clinical practice guidelines on hyperlipidemia or diabetes in Canada and the USA is high, researchers report.

Statins curb excess recurrent stroke risk in diabetes patients Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients' risk for recurrent stroke is markedly increased if they also have diabetes, but this can be suppressed by atorvastatin treatment, say the SPARCL investigators.

Anxiety prevalence reduced in Chinese patients with bipolar disorder Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Chinese patients with bipolar disorder have a significantly lower prevalence of comorbid anxiety disorders than their western counterparts, research shows.

Advanced grandpaternal age linked to increased schizophrenia risk Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Advanced maternal grandfathers' age, as well as advanced paternal age, at birth is associated with an increased risk for schizophrenia, research shows.

Statins curb excess recurrent stroke risk in diabetes patients Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients' risk for recurrent stroke is markedly increased if they also have diabetes, but this can be suppressed by atorvastatin treatment, say the SPARCL investigators.

Inflammatory bowel disease patients have increased postsurgery VTE risk Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have twice the risk for postoperative venous thromboembolism as patients without the condition, US research shows.

Intensive glucose-lowering fails to reduce HF events in diabetics Posted: 16 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Intensive glycemic control has no effect on the risk for heart failure in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

Diabetes associated with cognitive decline Posted: 16 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diabetic patients with poor metabolic control have mildly impaired cognitive function in a wide range of tasks related to working memory, processing speed, verbal memory, and executive function, researchers show.
