Depression highly prevalent in head and neck cancer Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with head and neck cancer exhibit high rates of depression but this does not seem to be explained by genetic susceptibility, US researchers report.

Early predictors of outcome in psychotic bipolar disorder identified Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Reduced premorbid functioning, delusions, increased levels of depressive symptoms, and younger age at first hospitalization predict poorer 4-year outcomes in patients with bipolar disorder who have psychotic symptoms, research shows.

Amygdala connectivity reduced in schizophrenia patients in response to fearful faces Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with schizophrenia show reduced effective connectivity between the amygdala and a large cluster of brain regions, including areas of the precuneus and parietal lobe, when viewing facial expressions of fear, results from a UK imaging study show.

Flow diverters effective treatment for distal aneurysms Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients who present with distal aneurysms at and beyond the circle of Willis can be effectively treated with flow diverters without experiencing significant complications, suggest French study findings.

Short-term air pollution exposure increases heart attack risk Posted: 14 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Short-term exposure to most major air pollutants, excluding ozone, increases a person's risk for myocardial infarction, suggest results from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Vitamin D ‘does not improve’ cardiac outcomes in CKD Posted: 14 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Vitamin D therapy does not improve cardiac structure, function, or left ventricular mass in patients with chronic kidney disease, researchers say.

Increased physical activity improves metabolic health, independent of time spent sedentary Posted: 14 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Results of a study published in JAMA suggest that children should be encouraged to increase their participation in physical activity, rather than reducing their time spent sedentary, to improve their cardiovascular health.

Physicians provide ‘complex care’ for end-of-life patients Posted: 14 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Physician care for palliative cancer patients is "multifaceted and complex," according to the results of an international study.
