| Mechanisms for beneficial effect of etanercept on psoriasis unraveled Posted: 05 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that etanercept, an anti-tumor necrosis factor-α therapy, exerts its effect through targeting epidermal activation, mainly through suppression of the interleukin-20 subfamily. |
| Airway management remains critical in children with Hurler syndrome Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Children with mucopolysaccharidosis 1, or Hurler syndrome, remain difficult to intubate during anesthesia despite advances in treatment and airway-management techniques, show results from a retrospective case review. |
| Increased suicide and cardiovascular death risk after cancer diagnosis Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients are at increased risk for suicide and cardiovascular death after receiving a cancer diagnosis, according to research. |
| Spouses of cancer patients at increased CHD, stroke risk Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The spouses of patients with cancer are at a significantly increased risk for coronary heart disease and stroke, researchers report. |
| Target HbA1c achieved with bariatric surgery and no drugs Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Obese patients with poorly controlled diabetes are significantly more likely to achieve a glycated hemoglobin level of 6% or less if they combine medical therapy with either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy than if they opt for medical therapy alone, show study findings. |
| Anthropometric measures predict diabetes in Koreans Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Simple anthropometric measures such as body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio are strong predictors for Type 2 diabetes risk in Koreans, report researchers. |
| Waist measures may improve pediatric cardiometabolic risk screening Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Waist measures should be included in cardiometabolic risk assessment of overweight and obese adolescents, suggest findings of a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The prevalence of obesity in the USA may be higher than previously thought, suggests a study published in PLoS ONE. |
| Pregnancy, breastfeeding cause reversible bone loss Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Bone mineral density declines in women during pregnancy and breastfeeding but returns to pre-pregnancy levels within around 18 months of giving birth, research reveals. |
| Potent carcinogen isolated from smokeless tobacco Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified the chemical in smokeless tobacco that causes mouth and esophageal cancer, and say that there is an "urgent need to eliminate this powerful carcinogen from tobacco products." |
| Spouses of cancer patients at increased CHD, stroke risk Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The spouses of patients with cancer are at a significantly increased risk for coronary heart disease and stroke, researchers report. |
| Target HbA1c achieved with bariatric surgery and no drugs Posted: 04 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Obese patients with poorly controlled diabetes are significantly more likely to achieve a glycated hemoglobin level of 6% or less if they combine medical therapy with either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy than if they opt for medical therapy alone, show study findings. |
| Add-on sitagliptin more effective than increasing insulin dose Posted: 02 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Adding sitagliptin to insulin therapy is more effective at improving glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes than increasing insulin dose alone, report researchers. |
| Alcohol may reduce diabetes risk in women but not men Posted: 02 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT People who consume large amounts of spirits and beer may be at an increased risk for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, report Swedish researchers. |
| TKIs improve survival in EGFR mutation positive lung cancer Posted: 01 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT European patients with mutation-positive epidermal growth factor receptor non small cell lung cancer should undergo routine baseline tissue-based mutation assessment and treatment with EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, suggest study findings. |
