Late bone marrow cell delivery after PCI offers no clinical benefit Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells more than 1 week after myocardial infarction does not improve global or regional cardiac function, researchers report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Point-of-care cardiac troponin efficient indicator of AMI Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Measurement of cardiac troponin I level alone using point-of-care testing is sufficient to diagnose acute myocardial infarction in low-risk patients presenting with chest pain, a UK analysis suggests.

hsCRP may improve cardiovascular risk prediction Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is an independent predictor of cardiac risk in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have a normal lipid profile, shows research.

Processed red meat consumption linked to diabetes risk Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Habitual consumption of processed red meat may be associated with an increased incidence of Type 2 diabetes, report US researchers.

Alcohol intake modifies effect of glycemic load on diabetes risk Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Drinking more than 15 grams of alcohol a day appears to modify the relationship between glycemic load and Type 2 diabetes risk, suggests study findings.

Low rate of incontinence reported for anal fistula surgery Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Treatment for fistula-in-ano has a good rate of success, with a low risk for incontinence, even among patients with complex disease, report Italian clinicians.

Extra screening beneficial if alcohol dependency co-occurs with schizophrenia Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST US researchers say that individuals with schizophrenia and co-occurring alcohol dependency may report their medical problems less accurately than people with alcohol dependency alone.

Lithium therapy may lower suicide risk in bipolar depression Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings indicate that lithium therapy may reduce suicide risk in patients with bipolar depression by increasing cortical gray matter volumes.

Clinical symptoms of posterior circulation ischemia pinpointed Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Symptoms including dizziness and unilateral limb weakness are particularly common among patients with posterior circulation ischemia, report researchers.

Aspirin reduces recurrent VTE risk Posted: 21 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Aspirin reduces the risk for recurrent venous thromboembolism by about 40% in patients with an unprovoked first event, when given after 6 to 12 months of anticoagulant treatment, Italian researchers report.
