| Evidence mounts to support use of BMI as predictor of hypertension in children Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT A study investigating the predictive ability of various adiposity indicators for elevated blood pressure in children highlights additional evidence for the use of body mass index instead. |
| ‘Appropriate’ discharge medications linked to improved survival in ACS patients Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with acute coronary syndrome who receive a combination of evidence-based medications at discharge may have improved survival rates, researchers suggest. |
| Evidence mounts to support use of BMI as predictor of hypertension in children Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT A study investigating the predictive ability of various adiposity indicators for elevated blood pressure in children highlights additional evidence for the use of body mass index instead. |
| Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Statin treatment is unlikely to increase the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, say the authors of a collaborative systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Individual, family-based lifestyle advice improves 1-year CVD risk profiles Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Sustained and intensive individual and family-based advice on healthy diet, increased exercise, and reduced sedentary behavior can improve the cardiovascular disease risk profiles of parents and their children after 1 year, research shows. |
| Assessing visfatin levels may be useful for CVD risk prediction Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Assessing plasma visfatin levels may help identify individuals with metabolic abnormalities associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, say researchers. |
| Miscarriage guidelines questioned Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The accuracy of guidelines for miscarriage diagnosis has been questioned by four studies that appear in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, which show that measurements of the gestational sac are unreliable to determine whether a pregnancy is viable. |
| Polymorphisms may identify sunitinib poor responders Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Polymorphisms in the genes encoding vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 and cytochrome P450 3A5 may partially account for the absence of response and low tolerability to sunitinib observed in some patients with renal-cell carcinoma, researchers report. |
| Adult asthma epidemic continues in Italy Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Italian study results show that the prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis among adults has continued to rise over the past decade, suggesting that the asthma "epidemic" is not over. |
| Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Statin treatment is unlikely to increase the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, say the authors of a collaborative systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Operable and inoperable CTEPH similar but different Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with operable and inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension present with similar symptoms but differ in terms of related medical conditions, study findings indicate. |
| Antidepressant resistance in unipolar depression may predict bipolar disorder Posted: 20 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Among patients with unipolar depression, poor response to antidepressant treatment may predict subsequent change in diagnosis to bipolar disorder, say Taiwanese researchers. |
| Suicide ideation may not indicate suicide risk in teens with FES Posted: 20 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents with first-episode schizophrenia are more likely to have thoughts of suicide than their peers with other mental health conditions, but this does not necessarily equate to a higher risk for suicidal behavior, say researchers. |
| Risk factors for postpartum BPAD relapse identified Posted: 19 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Risk factors for bipolar affective disorder relapse among women who have recently given birth include younger age, an unplanned pregnancy, previous perinatal episodes, and a family history of the mood disorder, UK research shows. |
| Predictors of outcome after CBT for first-episode psychosis identified Posted: 19 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Australian researchers have identified factors that may help identify patients with first-episode psychosis who are most likely to benefit from cognitive behaviour therapy. |
| Preventable hospitalisation rates increased in mental health patients Posted: 18 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with mental health disorders have significantly higher potentially preventable hospitalisation rates than mentally healthy individuals, Australian research shows. |
| Heart failure hospitalizations in USA show decline Posted: 18 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The overall rate of heart failure hospitalizations in the USA declined between 1998 and 2008, research shows. |
| Preventable hospitalisation rates increased in mental health patients Posted: 18 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with mental health disorders have significantly higher potentially preventable hospitalisation rates than mentally healthy individuals, Australian research shows. |
| Spirituality influences QoL in schizophrenia patients Posted: 18 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Spirituality and religious belief can have a significant positive effect on quality of life in patients with schizophrenia, say Indian researchers. |
| 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. |
