Study supports psychosis continuum Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with nonclinical psychosis symptoms show increased levels of depression and dermatoglyphic asymmetries, and patterns of procedural learning similar to those found in patients with diagnosed psychosis, report researchers.

Mood state linked to amygdala volume in bipolar patients Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Depressed patients with bipolar disorder show reduced amygdala volume compared with euthymic patients and mentally healthy individuals, report researchers.

Additional heparin unnecessary for anticoagulated patients undergoing PCI Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Additional heparin does not provide any benefit over uninterrupted therapeutic oral anticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, Finnish researchers report.

Left ventricular hypertrabeculation common in Black, male athletes Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Left ventricular hypertrabeculation or noncompaction, a feature of certain cardiomyopathies, is more common in Black than Caucasian athletes, a study has found.

Women receive lower quality of treatment for ACS than men in China Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT A study has shown that a substantial proportion of women with acute coronary syndrome receive a lower quality of treatment during hospitalization in China than men.

Most AF patients benefit from oral anticoagulation Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Almost all patients with atrial fibrillation should receive oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke, say researchers.

Anti-diabetes therapy initiated earlier in younger than in older patients Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The proportion of UK patients with diabetes who begin antihyperglycemic medication within 2 years varies depending on how old they are when first diagnosed, report researchers.

Linolenic acid protective, saturated fatty acid detrimental in PAD Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Diets high in linolenic acid may protect against the development of peripheral arterial disease, while diets high in saturated fatty acids have a detrimental effect, say researchers.

Most AF patients benefit from oral anticoagulation Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Almost all patients with atrial fibrillation should receive oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke, say researchers.

Additional heparin unnecessary for anticoagulated patients undergoing PCI Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Additional heparin does not provide any benefit over uninterrupted therapeutic oral anticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, Finnish researchers report.

Most AF patients benefit from oral anticoagulation Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Almost all patients with atrial fibrillation should receive oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke, say researchers.

Factors predicting functional outcome in FEP patients identified Posted: 18 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Differential factors predict functional outcomes in patients with first-episode psychosis according to whether they go on to develop schizophrenia or nonschizophrenia syndromes, researchers report.
