| Survivor bias makes best transfusion ratios in trauma patients unclear Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Many studies advocating use of a 1:1 ratio of fresh frozen plasma to erythrocytes in trauma patients needing massive transfusion are prone to survivor bias, report researchers. |
| Statins improve outcomes in STEMI patients, irrespective of LDL cholesterol Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Previous statin therapy decreases long-term mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients, irrespective of their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels on admission, results from a Turkish study suggest. |
| Global rates of diabetic retinopathy and its vision-threatening endpoints soar Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Almost 93 million individuals were affected by diabetic retinopathy in 2010, with 28 million having vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy, show findings published in Diabetes Care. |
| Cholecystectomy surgery reveals Medicaid patient care disparity Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Medicaid patients attending the emergency department with acute cholecystitis are less likely to receive definitive treatment than patients with private insurance, US researchers have found. |
| Half of CABG patients unable to meet nonHDL targets Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from an Australian study suggest that lipid management is "suboptimal" in high-risk coronary artery disease patients. |
| Changes in fitness and fatness independently associated with CVD risk Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Healthy adults who wish to reduce their risk for developing cardiovascular disease risk factors should maintain or improve their cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as prevent fat gain, suggest study findings. |
| Hyperbaric oxygen helps a variety of chronic radiation injuries Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is associated with high response rates among patients with various types of soft tissue radionecrosis, show results of an 8-year review of patients treated at a regional referral center for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. |
| Palliative radiation misunderstood by end-stage cancer patients Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with end-stage cancer often do not understand the role of palliative radiotherapy, even after full disclosure of their prognosis and treatment aims, suggest study findings published in Clinical Oncology. |
| Stromal cell markers may aid in OSCC prognostication Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated macrophages are potential biomarkers for prognosis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, research suggests. |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with schizophrenia who have predominant negative symptoms and those with merely prominent negative symptoms respond similarly to treatment with atypical antipsychotics in terms of improvement in negative symptom scores, research shows. |
| Levels of β-amyloid 42 peptide reduced in bipolar depression Posted: 08 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Plasma levels of β-amyloid 42 peptide are reduced in patients with bipolar depression, and could serve a possible biomarker of cognitive decline in patients with mood disorders, say researchers. |
| Anemia predicts depression following ACS Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with anemia admitted to hospital for acute coronary syndrome are at increased risk for developing depression, research shows. |
| FD-OCT identifies predictors of MI before and after stenting Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Thin-cap fibroatheroma assessed prior to percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with an increased risk for periprocedural myocardial infarction, research shows. |
| Dapagliflozin reduces weight through glucose excretion, not fluid loss Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Adding dapagliflozin to metformin results in significant weight loss among diabetes patients principally as a result of caloric loss through glucose excretion rather than fluid loss, report researchers. |
| Laparoscopic rectal resection acceptable for octogenarians Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Laparoscopic surgery shortens hospital stay in octogenarian patients undergoing rectal surgery compared with an open approach and does not significantly affect other markers of outcome, indicates research published in Colorectal Disease. |
| Antibiotic treatment ineffective for uncomplicated diverticulitis Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Antibiotic treatment for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis fails to accelerate recovery or prevent complications or recurrence, shows research. |
| Dapagliflozin reduces weight through glucose excretion, not fluid loss Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Adding dapagliflozin to metformin results in significant weight loss among diabetes patients principally as a result of caloric loss through glucose excretion rather than fluid loss, report researchers. |
| Inflammatory pattern differs by sampling site in children with CF Posted: 07 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST The pattern of inflammation in the airway lumen of children with cystic fibrosis differs from that in the bronchial mucosa, study data show. |
