Residual SYNTAX score predicts adverse outcomes post-angioplasty Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The residual Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score can be used to predict adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention, a study suggests.

No link between losartan and increased mortality risk Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Use of losartan compared with candesartan for heart failure is not associated with an increased mortality risk, study findings show.

Sudden increases in HbA<sub>1c</sub>, FPG predict onset of Type 2 diabetes Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found that trajectories for glycated hemoglobin rapidly increase in the late stage prior to diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, following gradual long-term increases.

Significant discordance in Apo-B, non-HDL-C for CV risk in diabetics Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Apolipoprotein -B and non-high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol are not reliable markers on their own for estimating cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia, suggest study findings showing considerable discordance between the two markers.

Significant discordance in Apo-B, non-HDL-C for CV risk in diabetics Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Apolipoprotein -B and non-high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol are not reliable markers on their own for estimating cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia, suggest study findings showing considerable discordance between the two markers.

Omega-3 supplements may have no benefit for patients with CVD Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Omega-3 fatty acid supplements cannot be recommended for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, say researchers.

HDL cholesterol ‘marker of longevity’ Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels may be a marker of longevity, say US researchers.

Amygdala activity, connectivity differs by mood state in BD patients Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Depressed and remitted patients with bipolar disorder show differential patterns of abnormal amygdala activity and effective connectivity when viewing facial expressions of emotion, say researchers.

Neurologic soft sign severity linked to schizophrenia course Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Czech study suggest a longitudinal relationship between the severity of neurologic soft signs and disease course in patients with schizophrenia.

Hypoxia in prostate tumors aids prognosis Posted: 10 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that hypoxia is associated with early biochemical relapse for prostate cancer after radiotherapy and is predictive for local recurrence in the prostate gland.
