Prenatal infection exposure ‘not linked to bipolar disorder risk’ Posted: 13 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a Danish study do not support an association between prenatal exposure to certain infectious agents and an increased risk for bipolar disorder.

ADMA levels elevated in schizophrenia patients Posted: 13 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Results from a Turkish study show that patients with schizophrenia have elevated levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine.

Physician recommendations, hospital characteristics influence variation in PCI, CABG rates Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Physician recommendations and hospital characteristics influence the mode of coronary revascularization, leading to significant variations across hospitals, a study has found.

No mortality difference between South Asians, Caucasians after PCI Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST In-hospital and long-term mortality does not differ between South Asian and Caucasians undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), research shows.

Vitamin D levels predict risk for diabetic peripheral neuropathy Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for diabetic peripheral neuropathy among Type 2 diabetes patients, a study from Kuwait shows.

Night shift work linked to diabetes risk in women Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Women who work rotating night shifts on a long-term basis are at an increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, a US study shows.

Fenofibrate may have 'clinically relevant' benefits over omega-3 fatty acids Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Omega-3 fatty acids and fenofibrate have comparable effects on endothelial-dependent dilation and triglycerides in hypertriglyceridemia, but fenofibrate has a greater impact on lipoprotein and metabolic profiles, says a team of scientists.

Variants in <i>ADIPOQ</i> gene may increase CVD risk in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with Type 2 diabetes carrying a polymorphism in the adiponectin gene may have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, particularly if the patient is also obese, the results of a Japanese study indicate.

Cerebral aneurysms may not complicate stroke thrombolysis Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST The presence of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm does not appear to increase patients' risk for intracranial hemorrhage on receipt of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator to treat acute stroke, say US researchers.

Outpatient primary care PE treatment effective Posted: 12 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST The majority of patients with pulmonary embolism can be cared for as outpatients by their primary care physician, suggest findings from a review showing that nearly half of patients are candidates for immediate discharge.
