STRATEGEM suggests no harm from perioperative aspirin maintenance Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST The negative findings of the prematurely halted STRATEGEM trial could pave the way for a large trial of aspirin maintenance versus interruption in patients on antiplatelet treatment undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Hypertension in early adulthood linked to adverse CV outcomes later in life Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Higher blood pressure in early adulthood is associated with an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes later in life, suggest Harvard Alumni Health Study results.

Vitamin D-fortified yoghurt drink improves cholesterol, endothelial dysfunction Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Regular consumption of a vitamin D-fortified yogurt drink improves cholesterol levels and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with Type 2 diabetes, show study findings.

Crohn’s disease surgery predicted by diabetes diagnosis Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Crohn's disease patients with diabetes are more than six times more likely to require surgery than patients without the condition, reveals research published in the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

High adiponectin associated with increased all-cause, CV mortality in STEMI Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST High circulating adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous intervention, Danish researchers report.

Vitamin D-fortified yoghurt drink improves cholesterol, endothelial dysfunction Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Regular consumption of a vitamin D-fortified yogurt drink improves cholesterol levels and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with Type 2 diabetes, show study findings.

Bacterial diversity altered in skin of psoriasis patients Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Biopsies have revealed that the skin of patients with psoriasis show altered bacterial diversity compared with the skin of individuals without the condition.

Teens with BD show distinct patterns of poor sleep quality Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Adolescents with bipolar disorder have distinct patterns of poor sleep quality, with longer sleep onset latency and an increased number of nighttime awakenings compared with their mentally healthy counterparts, study results show.

Olfactory bulb volume reduced in schizophrenia patients Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a US study show that olfactory bulb volume is reduced in patients with schizophrenia, supporting previous reports of abnormal olfactory function in patients with the mental health disorder.
