Phenprocoumon useful in the treatment of aortic valve thrombosis Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Phenprocoumon represents a suitable alternative to surgery or thrombolysis for the treatment of obstructive bioprosthetic valve thrombosis in hemodynamically stable patients, German researchers report.

Vegans and vegetarians at reduced risk for incident diabetes Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Vegan and vegetarian diets substantially reduce the risk for developing diabetes compared with nonvegetarian diets, a study has found.

‘Worrying gap’ between lipid guidelines and medical practice Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST A high proportion of European metabolic syndrome patients at high cardiovascular risk are not achieving lipid treatment goals, suggests an analysis of the EURIKA study.

Weight change modulates epicardial fat burden Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Study results suggest that losing weight may stabilize or reduce epicardial fat burden among asymptomatic individuals, while weight gain may promote epicardial fat progression.

Concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy improves nasopharyngeal carcinoma prognosis Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy improves survival of patients with stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with radiotherapy alone, Chinese researchers report.

Adolescents at risk for psychosis show abnormal brain development in areas linked to emotion Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Adolescents at clinical high risk for psychosis exhibit abnormal development and functional connectivity in brain areas associated with emotion regulation, US study results show.

Large postural BP rise early after stroke predicts good outcome Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients who show significant rises in blood pressure when placed in an upright position during the first 3 days after an acute stroke are likely to have favorable outcomes, suggest study findings.

Phenprocoumon useful in the treatment of aortic valve thrombosis Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Phenprocoumon represents a suitable alternative to surgery or thrombolysis for the treatment of obstructive bioprosthetic valve thrombosis in hemodynamically stable patients, German researchers report.

Physician fees influence testing after revascularization Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients are more likely to undergo nuclear stress testing and stress echocardiography after revascularization if their physician bills for technical or professional fees or both, an analysis has found.

AHA/ACC release first science-based guidelines on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology have released their first science-based guideline on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Remogliflozin etabonate well tolerated and effective in treating diabetes Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Remogliflozin etabonate, a sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitor, is well tolerated and effective in reducing plasma glucose in Type 2 diabetes patients, researchers show.

IMT measurement improves Framingham CVD risk prediction in diabetes Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery adds value to the Framingham Risk Score as a predictor for cardiovascular disease in Type 2 diabetes patients, compared with using the risk score alone, report Japanese researchers.
