BP change during middle age significantly impacts on lifetime CVD risk Posted: 25 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST A change in blood pressure during middle age has a significant effect on an individual's risk for cardiovascular disease, report researchers.

BP change during middle age significantly impacts on lifetime CVD risk Posted: 25 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST A change in blood pressure during middle age has a significant effect on an individual's risk for cardiovascular disease, report researchers.

Bipolar I disorder disease progression ‘chaotic’, not progressive Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with bipolar I disorder show disease progression that is random or even "chaotic," suggest findings from a 6-year study that contradict research supporting a predominant, progressive worsening of illness course.

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.

Heavy smoking linked to increased risk for suicide in schizophrenia Posted: 22 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with schizophrenia who smoke heavily have a higher risk for suicide than those who do not smoke, suggest study findings.

Mental imagery important to suicidal ideation in bipolar disorder Posted: 21 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that mental imagery of suicide may be an important, yet neglected, feature of suicidal ideation in bipolar disorder.

High birthweight associated with increased risk for schizophrenia Posted: 21 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Infants with a high birthweight are nearly twice as likely to develop schizophrenia than those born with a normal weight, show study findings.

Last affective episode predicts future learning response in BD patients Posted: 20 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that in patients with bipolar disorder, the quality of the last affective episode influences the learning response to positive or negative feedback.

Low peak oxygen uptake, high CVD risk among men with schizophrenia Posted: 20 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Men with schizophrenia have a significantly lower peak oxygen uptake than the general population and may be at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease, suggest study findings.

Double discharge HDR algorithm identifies DSM-IV-TR bipolar disorder Posted: 19 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that identification of DSM-IV-TR bipolar disorder for use in epidemiologic research is possible using a hospital discharge register-based algorithm employing two discharge diagnoses of bipolar disorder.

Routine structured risk assessments reduce ward aggression, seclusion Posted: 19 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Regular use of short-term structured risk assessments reduces the number of aggression incidents and the use of restraint and seclusion in psychiatric wards, show study findings.
