Undiagnosed bipolar disorder common in depressed Chinese patients Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Research in a Chinese population suggests that around one-fifth of patients treated for depression may have undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

Atopic disorders linked to increased schizophrenia risk Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from a Danish study suggest that patients with atopic disorders, particularly those with asthma, are at increased risk for schizophrenia.

<i>ACE</i> gene variant linked to CAD risk in diabetes Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST The DD variant of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene is associated with coronary artery disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

First-time MI hospitalizations decreased in Denmark over past 25 years Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST The rate of first-time hospitalization for myocardial infarction and subsequent mortality decreased by nearly half between 1984 and 2008 in Denmark, a study shows.

Radial artery access for PCI improves clinical outcomes Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Use of the radial artery for primary or rescue percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with improved clinical outcomes, suggest researchers.

<i>ACE</i> gene variant linked to CAD risk in diabetes Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST The DD variant of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene is associated with coronary artery disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes, report researchers.

High aerobic fitness associated with less advanced coronary atherosclerosis Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Middle-aged men with high aerobic fitness are less likely to have advanced coronary atherosclerosis than their less-fit peers, research suggests.

Curative prostate cancer therapy overused in elderly, less aggressive cases Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Men with localized prostate cancer may be receiving curative therapy when it is unlikely to be of clinical benefit in terms of their life expectancy and risk for cancer progression, show findings from a US study.

Neuroprotectant promising in nonhuman primate stroke model Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST A neuroprotectant that has been successful in rodent stroke models reduces infarct size and improves outcomes in a nonhuman primate stroke model, researchers report in Nature.

No single factor predicts stent thrombosis Posted: 04 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention cannot be systematically avoided by addressing just one or two risk factors, results of a systematic review and meta-analysis show.

Treatment choice for hypopharyngeal cancer affects quality of life Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Transoral laser microsurgery for hypopharyngeal cancer may be the best treatment option for preserving patients' quality of life, say Taiwanese researchers.
