Early event in exercise-induced gene expression uncovered Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Exercise-induced changes in gene expression seem to be mediated partly through reductions in DNA methylation, research suggests.

Risk for vascular calcification upped in diabetes patients Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Peripheral vascular calcification is highly prevalent in the diabetic population, even among those with relatively preserved renal function, report researchers.

Diabetes patients at increased risk for hepatobiliary disease Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with Type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk for incident hepatobiliary disease and associated mortality compared with nondiabetic individuals, show study findings.

Breathing exercises reduce GERD symptoms, improve QoL Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Breathing exercises directed at the crura of the diaphragm can reduce gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms, suggests a study showing improvements in both pH-metry and quality of life.

Lipid management in ACS can still be improved Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST A large proportion of acute coronary syndrome patients are not receiving guideline-recommended in-hospital lipid testing and statin therapy, say researchers.

Calculated, direct-measured LDL cholesterol give divergent results Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Two widely used methods for measuring low-density lipoprotein cholesterol differ by more than 5%, say researchers.

Persistent anxiety disorders common in young bipolar disorder patients Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Persistent and new-onset anxiety disorders are common in young people with bipolar disorder, results from a 5-year follow-up study suggest.

Attributional bias not linked to paranoia in patients at risk for psychosis Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from a US study suggest that attributional bias is not a risk factor for the development of paranoid delusions among young people at high risk for psychosis.

Persistent depressive symptoms liked to increased cognitive decline in CAD patients Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with coronary artery disease who have persistent depressive symptoms are at greater risk for cognitive decline than those without such symptoms, Canadian scientists have discovered.

Urine, plasma biomarkers predict AKI progression after cardiac surgery Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Biomarkers measured at the time of acute kidney injury diagnosis identify cardiac surgery patients at risk for worsening kidney injury, researchers report.

Adding exenatide may be better for glucose control Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Among patients with diabetes inadequately controlled with a combination of sitagliptin and metformin, switching from sitagliptin to exenatide is not as effective as to adding exenatide, show study findings.

Urine and plasma biomarkers predict AKI progression Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Biomarkers measured at the time of acute kidney injury diagnosis identify cardiac surgery patients at risk for worsening kidney injury, researchers report.

Pit pattern helps endoscopic detection of CRC precursor adenomas Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Scientists have identified a novel pit pattern in sessile serrated adenomas that may help endoscopic identification of these lesions at risk for progression to colorectal cancer.

IVC clamping controls bleeding better than low CVP for complex liver resections Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping is more efficacious at controlling bleeding than low central venous pressure during complex liver resections using portal triad clamping, shows research.

Ezetimibe prescription patterns affected by ENHANCE findings Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST The proportion of patients switched from ezetimibe plus simvastatin and ezetimibe plus statin to other lipid-lowering therapies by healthcare providers significantly increased after reporting of the ENHANCE trial, show study findings.

Checking homes of pregnant women helps prevent lead poisoning in children Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Results from a US study suggest that checking and fixing any lead poisoning hazards in the homes of pregnant women living in high-risk areas can significantly reduce the risk for lead poisoning in children.

Pit pattern helps endoscopic detection of CRC precursor adenomas Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Scientists have identified a novel pit pattern in sessile serrated adenomas that may help endoscopic identification of these lesions at risk for progression to colorectal cancer.

IVC clamping controls bleeding better than low CVP for complex liver resections Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping is more efficacious at controlling bleeding than low central venous pressure during complex liver resections using portal triad clamping, shows research.

Preemptive anticoagulation benefits selected PE patients Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Preemptive anticoagulation may benefit patients with intermediate and high clinical probabilities for pulmonary embolism even when the diagnostic delay is only a few hours, study findings indicate.

Spinal cord injury could be stroke risk factor Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Patients with permanent disability after spinal cord injury have nearly a threefold increased risk for stroke compared with uninjured people, research suggests.

Preemptive anticoagulation benefits selected PE patients Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 PM PST Preemptive anticoagulation may benefit patients with intermediate and high clinical probabilities for pulmonary embolism even when the diagnostic delay is only a few hours, study findings indicate.
