Kiwifruit reduces blood pressure in male smokers Posted: 18 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Eating kiwifruit three times a day could significantly reduce blood pressure in male smokers, suggest Norwegian researchers.

pQCT helps reveal negative impact of insulin on teenage cortical BMD Posted: 18 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The relationship between Type 2 diabetes and fracture risk may be due to the inhibition of cortical bone development by insulin, the results of a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study suggest.

Kiwifruit reduces blood pressure in male smokers Posted: 18 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Eating kiwifruit three times a day could significantly reduce blood pressure in male smokers, suggest Norwegian researchers.

Disparities may exist in diagnosis of fetomaternal hemorrhage Posted: 18 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The first report of socioeconomic and racial patterns in fetomaternal hemorrhage suggests that there may be disparities in its detection.

<i>ATRX </i>mutation implicated in chronic, indolent neuroblastoma Posted: 18 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Mutations in the ATRX gene are associated with age at diagnosis in children and young adults with advanced-stage neuroblastoma, study findings indicate.

Cyclothymic temperament linked to depression recurrence in BD Posted: 15 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder who have a cyclothymic temperament are more likely to experience depressive episode recurrences than their counterparts with other affective temperament types, results suggest.

‘Mind-pop’ frequency increased in schizophrenia patients Posted: 15 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patients experience significantly more frequent involuntary semantic memories than depression patients and mentally healthy individuals, UK research shows.

Three-fold increased risk for obesity in BD, schizophrenia patients Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia are over three times more likely to be overweight or obese than the general population, results from a Spanish study show.

CPAP could help prevent heart failure in sleep apnea patients Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Nightly treatment with a continuous positive air pressure device in obstructive sleep apnea patients could prevent cardiac changes that lead to heart failure, research shows.

Azithromycin clears Shiga toxin-producing entergoaggregative <i>E. coli </i>infection Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Shiga toxin-producing enteroaggregative Escherichia coli infection should be treated with azithromycin, say German researchers who believe the antibiotic reduces the duration of bacterial shedding.

Silver nanoparticles ‘active against oral <i>Candida</i> infection’ Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Silver nanoparticles have shown promise as a treatment for oral Candida infection, Portuguese researchers say.

Three-fold increased risk for obesity in BD, schizophrenia patients Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia are over three times more likely to be overweight or obese than the general population, results from a Spanish study show.

Homocysteine not linked to cognitive impairments in schizophrenia Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Homocysteine levels are increased in patients with schizophrenia, but are not associated with cognitive impairments, results from a Spanish study show.

Treatment dropout rates high in bipolar disorder patients Posted: 13 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Around one-third of patients with bipolar disorder stop taking their medications against doctors' advice within 1 year of starting treatment, study results suggest.

<i>H. pylori</i> infection could increase diabetes risk Posted: 13 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin, which could lead to an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes in infected individuals.

Epilepsy linked to increased risk for psychosis Posted: 13 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT People with epilepsy are significantly more likely to experience psychosis than the general population, research confirms.

Brain volume differences may help predict bipolar disorder Posted: 12 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients at ultra-high risk for psychosis who go on to develop the bipolar disorder show greater amygdala and insula volume reductions than ultra-high risk patients who remain well, say researchers.

Common early signs of emerging psychosis identified Posted: 12 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Loss of energy, difficulty concentrating, depression, and social isolation are the most frequently recalled early signs and symptoms of emerging psychosis, study results suggest.
