Guideline probabilities may be ‘greatly overestimating’ CAD prevalence Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT New data from the CONFIRM registry show that invasive angiography-based guideline probabilities greatly overestimate the actual prevalence of coronary artery disease.

Long-term CRC surveillance recommended for IBD patients Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with inflammatory bowel disease should undergo long-term surveillance, suggest study findings showing that colorectal carcinoma is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages in these patients.

Location, severity of calcification differs by vascular bed Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT The association between calcified atherosclerosis and mortality differs by vascular bed, researchers report.

Lack of association between resistin levels and the metabolic syndrome Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results of a Spanish study suggest there are no significant associations between serum resistin levels and the number of metabolic syndrome determinants or the diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome in obese women.

Abnormal melatonin secretion not linked to pineal volume in BD patients Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a French study suggest that abnormal melatonin secretion in patients with bipolar disorder is not associated with abnormal volume of the pineal gland.

Caregiver education improves long-term outcomes in schizophrenia patients Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Caregiver psycho-education benefits patients with schizophrenia regarding long-term relapse rates and duration of hospital stay after relapse, results from an Irish study show.

Poor outlook for stroke patients with dementia Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Ischemic stroke is highly likely to leave patients with dementia disabled and needing ongoing nursing care, a study shows.

<i>ApoE</i> polymorphism raises DVT risk in women not men Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with the apolipoprotein E ε2 allele are at increased risk for deep vein thrombosis, Brazilian researchers report.

Increased waist circumference linked to high exercise BP Posted: 30 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Healthy men and women with a large waist circumference have an increased exercise blood pressure, a study suggests.

Alcohol consumption below recommended limit reduces mortality after MI Posted: 30 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women who drink low-to-moderate amounts of alcohol after surviving a heart attack have a decreased risk for mortality, study findings suggest.

Being amenable and outgoing linked to reduced diabetes risk Posted: 30 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Men who tend to be agreeable as opposed to antagonistic have a reduced risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, report Swedish researchers.

Sclerostin levels linked to bone quality in diabetes patients Posted: 30 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Circulating sclerostin levels are increased in individuals with Type 2 diabetes and may play a role in impairing bone metabolism and quality in this population, report Spanish researchers.

Increased waist circumference linked to high exercise BP Posted: 30 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT Healthy men and women with a large waist circumference have an increased exercise blood pressure, a study suggests.
