Cerebral autoregulation limits vary widely during heart bypass Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The mean arterial pressure at the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation varies widely among patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, research shows.

Canadian guidelines for atrial fibrillation updated Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The Canadian Cardiovascular Society has updated its guidelines on the management of atrial fibrillation.

Abnormal cells may predict impending heart attack Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction have an excess of large, misshapen circulating endothelial cells, which may be used as a biomarker for arterial injury, US researchers report.

Diet soda increases GLP-1 secretion in Type 1, but not Type 2, diabetes Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that consuming diet soda sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame-K before a glucose load increases glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion in healthy individuals and patients with Type 1 diabetes, but not in those with Type 2 diabetes.

Low HDL-cholesterol linked to interaction between vitamin D, <i>APOA5 </i>polymorphism Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified an interaction between dietary vitamin D and a receptor binding site modifying the APOA5 gene promoter polymorphism that is associated with lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in vitamin D-deficient individuals.

Experimental melanoma vaccine shows promise Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have used a virally expressed copy DNA library to create a "vaccine" against melanoma, which is highly effective for treating mice with the skin cancer.

No link between coffee intake and psoriasis Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Research shows that there is no link between coffee or caffeine intake and risk for psoriasis.

Early psychosis detection linked to improved long-term outcomes Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The early detection of first-episode psychosis is associated with improved recovery rates after 10 years, study results show.

Personality traits may distinguish BD I from BD II, MDD patients Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Taiwanese study indicate that bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, and major depressive disorder patients have distinct and different patterns of personality traits.

Canadian guidelines for atrial fibrillation updated Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The Canadian Cardiovascular Society has updated its guidelines on the management of atrial fibrillation.

Patient education boosts in-hospital anticoagulation adherence Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT A pharmacist-led patient education program helps to ensure hospitalized patients receive adequate thromboembolism prophylaxis, research suggests.

Intracoronary abciximab significantly reduces STEMI mortality risk Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Administering abciximab through the intracoronary route, instead of intravenously, significantly reduces mortality risk in patients with STEMI, show findings from a meta-analysis.

CSS, NERS, SYNTAX best risk scores for predicting coronary prognosis Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Risk scores incorporating clinical and angiographic variables provide the highest predictive accuracy in patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, suggest study findings.

Diabetics may accept less regular eye exams Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The majority of Welsh patients with diabetes may be satisfied with retinopathy screening every 2–3 years, rather than annually, researchers report.

IFG development in Japanese different to other ethnicities Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Reduced insulin secretion plays a greater role in the development of impaired fasting glucose in Japanese individuals than increased insulin resistance, study findings demonstrate.

CVD history should not influence fenofibrate treatment decisions Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes who are receiving fenofibrates should not be treated differently based on their cardiovascular disease history, shows an analysis of the FIELD study.

Birth injury not major cause of late-onset fecal incontinence Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Extensive episiotomy is the only obstetric event to increase the likelihood of late-onset fecal incontinence, US researchers suggest.

Italian-style breakfast ‘good for the heart’ Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Eating an Italian-style breakfast may protect against the onset of cardiovascular disorders and related mortality, say researchers.

CVD history should not influence fenofibrate treatment decisions Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes who are receiving fenofibrates should not be treated differently based on their cardiovascular disease history, shows an analysis of the FIELD study.

Birth injury not major cause of late-onset fecal incontinence Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Extensive episiotomy is the only obstetric event to increase the likelihood of late-onset fecal incontinence, US researchers suggest.

Rare oral cancer under the microscope Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have described a rare form of oral squamous cell carcinoma, which has an unusual natural history and is difficult to diagnose.

Urine protein biomarker VEGF aids bladder cancer diagnosis Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The noninvasive diagnosis of bladder cancer could be aided by protein analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor in voided urine, results of a case-control study show.

Tenecteplase outperforms alteplase in selected stroke patients Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Tenecteplase produces better early outcomes than alteplase in patients with stroke who have salvageable brain tissue on computed tomography, show results from a randomized trial.

Urine protein biomarker VEGF aids bladder cancer diagnosis Posted: 21 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT The noninvasive diagnosis of bladder cancer could be aided by protein analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor in voided urine, results of a case-control study show.

Latest PSA data supports screening Posted: 20 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Screening men for prostate-specific antigen significantly reduces their long-term risk for death from prostate cancer, shows an updated analysis of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer.
