Antihypertensive therapy increases life expectancy Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Chlorthalidone treatment significantly reduces mortality and increases life expectancy, data from the SHEP trial show.

CRT-D improves survival, symptom control compared with CRT-P Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Cardiac resynchronization defibrillators improve survival rates and symptom control of heart failure patients compared with cardiac resynchronization pacing alone, 1-year results from the European CRT survey show.

Lipoprotein particle diameters useful cardiometabolic risk prediction Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that the combination of low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoprotein particle diameters may be useful for identifying individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Diabetes, gender modify depressive symptoms in people with poor diet Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST The quality of a person's diet is associated with symptoms of depression, with this relationship being modulated by gender and the presence of diabetes, study findings suggest.

Bone markers ‘normal’ in postmenopausal women with Type 2 diabetes Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Bone turnover markers, bone mineral density, and bone loss rates are within normal ranges among postmenopausal women with Type 2 diabetes, say Polish researchers, who found that total adiponectin was inversely linked to bone measures.

Lipoprotein particle diameters useful cardiometabolic risk prediction Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that the combination of low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoprotein particle diameters may be useful for identifying individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Abdominal fat reduced by calcium, vitamin D supplementation Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D decreases abdominal fat mass in individuals who are overweight and obese, US researchers report.

SNP typing accurately discriminates HLA-Cw*06:02 in psoriasis patients Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Researchers have developed a new technique for genotyping the main candidate gene HLA-C in patients with psoriasis, which allows discrimination of homozygotes and heterozygotes through typing of four single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Diabetes, gender modify depressive symptoms in people with poor diet Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST The quality of a person's diet is associated with symptoms of depression, with this relationship being modulated by gender and the presence of diabetes, study findings suggest.

VTE risk in pregnancy remains high after delivery Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST UK study results show that the increased risk for venous thromboembolism associated with pregnancy is highest in the third trimester and remains elevated until 3 weeks postpartum.
