Tranexamic acid reduces perioperative transfusions during prostatectomy Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Intraoperative use of tranexamic acid reduces the need for perioperative blood transfusions during radical prostatectomy, research shows.

HPV infection linked to cardiovascular disease in women Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found that there may be an association between human papillomavirus infection and cardiovascular disease in women.

Maternal hypertension linked to increased heart defect risk in newborns Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Maternal hypertension during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for heart defects in babies, report US researchers.

Hyperglycemia more risky in younger AMI patients Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The impact of hyperglycemia in patients with acute myocardial infarction varies with age, with it being a stronger risk factor for in-hospital mortality among younger patients, a study shows.

IBD patients have increased postop thrombosis risk Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are twice as likely to develop postoperative venous thromboembolism as patients without the condition, US research shows.

Promoting fiber-rich diet better than discouraging saturated fat, cholesterol intake Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Higher intakes of dietary fiber are significantly associated with lower odds for developing the metabolic syndrome in adolescents, study findings suggest.

‘Accelerated’ subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in FH patients Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The development of coronary artery disease is accelerated in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, say Dutch researchers.

HPV infection linked to cardiovascular disease in women Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found that there may be an association between human papillomavirus infection and cardiovascular disease in women.

Coffee consumption could reduce risk for basal cell carcinoma Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Drinking more than three cups of coffee a day could significantly reduce a person's risk for basal cell carcinoma, suggest study findings.

Prefrontal cortex activation reduced in euthymic BD patients during emotion recognition Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a brain imaging study suggest that amygdala dysfunction may be a state-related abnormality in bipolar disorder patients, whereas ventrolateral prefrontal cortex dysfunction may be a trait-related abnormality.

Suicide risk remains elevated in older schizophrenia patients Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The increased risk for suicide among individuals with schizophrenia remains elevated in older patients, research shows.

Post-stroke seizures under the spotlight Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Acute seizures occur frequently in patients with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, show two study reports in the journal Neurology.

On-clopidogrel platelet reactivity linked to adverse outcomes after PCI Posted: 26 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have obtained further evidence to show that the level of on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity is associated with long-term cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary intervention.

‘Days alive and out of hospital’ could be new outcome in HF trials Posted: 26 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The number of days alive and out of hospital may offer an improved measure to assess the effect of heart failure treatment, analysis of CHARM data shows.
