Gliadin IgG antibody levels increased in acute mania Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with acute mania have increased levels of immunoglobulin G antibodies to gliadin, results from a US study suggest.

No regional differences in medical management for NSTE-ACS patients Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST There are no regional differences in the factors associated with medical management of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients after angiography, or their 1-year mortality risk, a global study suggests.

Regular breaks in sitting time reduce risk for postprandial glucose dip Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Study findings suggest that overweight or obese individuals who experience postprandial glucose dips during long periods of sitting may benefit from short breaks of light- or moderate-intensity walking.

Standardization of insulin therapy regimens needed in France Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Research shows that insulin treatment regimens used in everyday diabetes care in France vary considerably among patients, suggesting the need for harmonization of regimens and promotion of insulin self-injection to reduce associated costs.

Use of the metabolic syndrome for CHD, CVA risk prediction questioned Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Current definitions of the metabolic syndrome have "limited use" for predicting incident coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular events independent of its components, say researchers.

Teen pregnancy has lasting adverse effects on blood lipids Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Pregnancy during adolescence has adverse effects on blood lipids that persist after giving birth, report researchers in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology.

Lack of policy regarding periviable deliveries means families are the decision-makers Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Family preferences strongly influence the decisions made concerning very premature deliveries, which researchers suggest may be due to a lack of formal policy on the matter.

Teen pregnancy has lasting adverse effects on blood lipids Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Pregnancy during adolescence has adverse effects on blood lipids that persist after giving birth, report researchers in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology.
