Ideal anesthesiologist supervision ratios highest during first cases Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST The risk for lapses in supervision of anesthetic nurses by anesthesiologists is highest during the first cases of the day because of the high number of simultaneous critical case periods, shows a study.

Newly identified oral bacterium linked to serious disease Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST A newly discovered bacterium that lives in the mouth has been linked to serious infectious diseases affecting the heart and brain, research shows.

COPD patients at increased risk for peptic ulcer bleeding Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are nearly twice as likely to develop peptic ulcer bleeding as the general population, suggest study findings that also identified a number of important risk factors in these patients.

End-of-life care discussions occur late for patients with advanced cancer Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST More than half of discussions about end-of-life care occur during acute hospital treatment, and they tend to occur at a late stage of illness in patients with terminal cancer, shows research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Depressive symptoms linked to CVD risk in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Depression, but not mania, is significantly associated with an elevated 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with bipolar disorder, research shows.

Bone mass reduced in older schizophrenia patients Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from a Japanese study show that older patients with schizophrenia have significantly reduced bone mass compared with the older general population.

COPD patients at increased risk for peptic ulcer bleeding Posted: 22 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are nearly twice as likely to develop peptic ulcer bleeding as the general population, suggest study findings that also identified a number of important risk factors in these patients.

Endurance sport plus long-distance travel may increase thrombosis risk Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Athletes who fly to participate in marathon races have greater increases in D-dimer levels after the race than do local runners, US researchers report.

Transradial program improves PCI safety at teaching hospitals Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention programs significantly improve PCI safety at teaching hospitals, a study suggests.

Systematic family history data identifies more patients at CV risk Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Systematically collecting a family history from primary care patients significantly increases the number identified as being at high cardiovascular risk, say UK researchers.

Diabetic retinopathy risk linked to 1,5-anhydrogluticol level Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST 1,5-anhydroglucitol is associated with diabetic retinopathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes, especially among those with moderately controlled hyperglycemia, shows a South Korean study.

Osteoporosis drugs may reduce CRC risk Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST The widespread use of bisphosphonates may help reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, say researchers who believe the anti-osteoporosis agents may have a protective effect against the malignancy.

‘Inadequate’ patient follow-up in FH Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Follow-up of children diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia through cascade screening is "inadequate," say researchers.

Osteoporosis drugs may reduce CRC risk Posted: 21 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST The widespread use of bisphosphonates may help reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, say researchers who believe the anti-osteoporosis agents may have a protective effect against the malignancy.
