Deep brain stimulation effective for bipolar and unipolar depression Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Deep brain stimulation is an effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression in patients with either bipolar II disorder or major depressive disorder, say US researchers.

Predictors of QoL identified in Japanese inpatients with schizophrenia Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from a Japanese study show that increased negative symptoms, psychological discomfort, and resistance are significantly associated with reduced quality of life among inpatients with schizophrenia.

Airflow obstruction increases HF risk Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Reduced lung function and obstructive airway disease are strongly and independently associated with an increased risk for heart failure, US researchers report.

Family tree helps estimate mortality risk for inherited arrhythmia patients Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Dutch researchers have reconstructed family trees to estimate the mortality risk for individuals with inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

Weekly exenatide more effective than insulin glargine in long-term glycemic control Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Long-term treatment with exenatide once weekly provides significantly better glycemic control than once-daily insulin glargine in patients with poorly controlled diabetes, report Dutch researchers.

Weight loss surgery ‘effective’ for treating diabetes in non-severely obese patients Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Bariatric surgery is effective for treating non-severely obese Type 2 diabetes patients, say Chinese researchers who add that the metabolic benefits gained from the procedure can be sustained long after surgery.

Weight loss surgery ‘effective’ for treating diabetes in non-severely obese patients Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Bariatric surgery is effective for treating non-severely obese Type 2 diabetes patients, say Chinese researchers who add that the metabolic benefits gained from the procedure can be sustained long after surgery.

Bathtub refinishers at risk for death from methylene chloride exposure Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST A report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the USA highlights a significant risk for death associated with exposure to methylene chloride among people resurfacing or refinishing bathtubs.

Collaterals crucial determinant of endovascular stroke treatment outcomes Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Collateral blood flow trumps even time to treatment for predicting the outcomes of patients who undergo endovascular treatment for anterior circulation stroke, a large analysis suggests.

Recurrent VTE risk reduced by immunosuppression in Behçet's disease patients Posted: 28 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Research shows that immunosuppression treatment significantly reduces the risk for repeated episodes of venous thromboembolism in patients with Behçet's disease.
