Insomnia linked to increased AMI risk Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Insomnia is associated with a moderately increased risk for acute myocardial infarction, research suggests.

Zotarolimus stent outcomes unaffected by duration of antiplatelet therapy Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Clinical outcomes are not affected by the duration of antiplatelet treatment among patients who have undergone revascularization with zotarolimus-eluting stents, researchers report.

Chemokine gene variant predicts risk for diabetes Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT A polymorphism in the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene may be a risk factor for diabetes in Caucasians, report researchers.

Erectile dysfunction distress common in CRC patients Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Erectile dysfunction is common in men who receive treatment for colorectal cancer, highlights research showing that patients are not given adequate information, support, or treatment for the side effect.

HDL predicts CHD independent of physical fitness Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT High-density lipoprotein cholesterol is a strong predictor for long-term coronary heart disease risk independent of physical fitness, research suggests.

LDL receptor function ‘key’ to the detrimental effects of <i>APOE4</i> Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The e4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene does not increase the risk for coronary heart disease in carriers of low-density lipoprotein receptor gene mutations, say researchers.

Most smokers with bipolar disorder want to quit Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Tobacco use is common among individuals with bipolar disorder, although most express a desire to quit the habit, research shows.

Anticipated discrimination common in schizophrenia patients Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia commonly anticipate discrimination, but such anticipation is not necessarily associated with the experience of discrimination, say researchers.

Natural history of CVST unravelled Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Mortality associated with cerebral venous–sinus thrombosis is relatively low compared with arterial stroke, US researchers have shown.

Thromboelastography reference ranges unsuitable for pregnant women Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The use of standard reference ranges for thromboelastography parameters may not be suitable for pregnant women, and could lead to the misinterpretation of the coagulation state, Czech researchers report.

Diabetes management programs cost-effective in the long-term Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Disease management intervention is cost effective in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report German researchers.

Exercise duration more important than intensity in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Hypoxic exercise performed at moderate intensity improves insulin sensitivity to a greater extent than higher intensity exercise in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.
