Prefrontal oscillatory frequency reduced in schizophrenia patients Posted: 24 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia show a slower natural oscillatory frequency in the prefrontal cortex of the brain compared with mentally healthy individuals, report researchers.

Anxiety disorders common in bipolar patients Posted: 24 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in patients with bipolar disorder and are associated with increased mood symptoms, study results show.

Plasma CRP and serum lipids predict post-PCI prognosis Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention who have high plasma C-reactive protein levels are at increased risk of developing in-stent restenosis, research shows.

Therapeutic hypothermia linked to reduced mortality from cardiac arrest Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers say that therapeutic hypothermia may have significantly reduced in-hospital mortality among sudden cardiac arrest patients between 2001 and 2009.

Thrombosis rates lowest with cobalt-chromium everolimus eluting stents Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Definite stent thrombosis is less common with cobalt-chromium everolimus eluting stents than with bare-metal stents and other first- and second-generation drug-eluting stents, researchers report.

Women with cardiac disease more likely to give birth to girls Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Pregnant women with heart disease are significantly more likely to give birth to girls than boys, researchers suggest.

Diabetes management in Korea may require more attention Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT There is a high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy among patients with Type 2 diabetes in Korea, show study findings.

Health perception linked to depression in diabetes patients Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Older individuals who have Type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop depression if they have a negative perception of their health, report researchers.

Parts not sum of metabolic syndrome best predict elderly CHD risk Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Using individual metabolic syndrome components improves the predictive accuracy of coronary heart disease risk stratification models beyond that offered by use of the metabolic syndrome per se, French researchers report.

Plasma CRP and serum lipids predict post-PCI prognosis Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention who have high plasma C-reactive protein levels are at increased risk of developing in-stent restenosis, research shows.

Women with cardiac disease more likely to give birth to girls Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Pregnant women with heart disease are significantly more likely to give birth to girls than boys, researchers suggest.

Physicians reluctant to prescribe opioids for refractory dyspnea Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Most physicians are reluctant to prescribe opioids to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and refractory dyspnea, even though patients report symptom relief and quality of life improvements with this treatment, say researchers.
