Elevated LDL cholesterol not associated with BMI z-score in schoolchildren Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Japanese researchers say that schoolchildren should maintain a body mass index z-score within the normal range to prevent future development of cardiovascular disease.

Proinflammatory gene variants correlate with coronary plaque volume in CAD patients Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the proinflammatory genes encoding C-reactive protein and CD14 are independently associated with coronary plaque volume in patients with coronary artery disease, researchers report.

Elevated LDL cholesterol not associated with BMI z-score in schoolchildren Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Japanese researchers say that schoolchildren should maintain a body mass index z-score within the normal range to prevent future development of cardiovascular disease.

ADHD and BSD co-occurrence linked to reduced global functioning Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST The co-occurrence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and bipolar spectrum disorder in children is associated with reduced global poorer functioning and increased symptom severity compared with either disorder alone, research shows.

Depression linked to improved cognition in geriatric schizophrenia patients Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Higher levels of depression are associated with better attention and verbal memory in geriatric patients with schizophrenia, US research shows.

No overall surgery benefit for patients with ICA occlusion Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Extracranial–intracranial bypass surgery is no better than optimal medical therapy for reducing recurrent stroke rates in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion, despite improving cerebral hemodynamics, show the findings of COSS.

ACE inhibitors, ARBs reduce adverse outcomes in aortic regurgitation Posted: 07 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST ACE inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers significantly reduce the risk for adverse outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation, study findings show.

Studying lesions could lead to stenoses-selecting strategy for PCI Posted: 07 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Approximately one-third of patients with symptom progression leading to angiography have an index lesion that has undergone destabilization, researchers have found.

Mild hypoglycemia does not adversely impact illness beliefs in diabetes Posted: 07 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Mild symptomatic hypoglycemia does not have a long-term adverse impact on beliefs about diabetes or health status in well-controlled, non-insulin-treated patients with Type 2 diabetes, show study results.

Vitamin D predicts CAD risk in diabetes patients with albuminuria Posted: 07 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Severe vitamin D deficiency is associated with asymptomatic coronary artery disease in high-risk diabetes patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion rates, report Danish researchers.
