Structured primary care algorithm significantly improves BP control Posted: 29 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT A structured computer-based algorithm could significantly improve blood pressure control among patients in primary care, a study suggests.

Structured primary care algorithm significantly improves BP control Posted: 29 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT A structured computer-based algorithm could significantly improve blood pressure control among patients in primary care, a study suggests.

Single ultrasonography scan could rule out pregnancy-related DVT Posted: 29 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT A single complete compression ultrasonography result may "safely" exclude the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in pregnant and postpartum women, a study shows.

Contraceptive use linked to current mood disorder risk in women Posted: 26 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT The use of progestin-only contraceptives is associated with an increased risk for current mood disorders in women, while the use of combined estrogen and progestin contraceptive agents is associated with a reduced risk, study results suggest.

Reduced early teenage premorbid functioning in schizophrenia Posted: 26 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Children who go on to develop schizophrenia in adulthood have poorer premorbid nonacademic performance and show poorer behavioural ratings compared with their peers who remain mentally healthy, Israeli researchers report.

Differential age-related amygdala response to facial emotions in BD Posted: 25 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Children with bipolar disorder show greater activation of the right amygdala when viewing facial expressions of emotion compared with mentally healthy children and adults with the mood disorder, researchers report.

Early weaning does not prevent HIV infection in infants Posted: 25 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Stopping breastfeeding early does not prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission and significantly increases the infant's likelihood for illness, growth problems, and death, show study data published in The Lancet.

Maternal gliadin antibodies linked to psychosis risk in offspring Posted: 25 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT High maternal levels of antigliadin immunoglobulin G in later pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for nonaffective psychosis in offspring, Swedish study results show.

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.

Global measles mortality has dropped, but still room for improvement Posted: 24 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT Mortality from measles has decreased dramatically between 2000 and 2010, but rates could still be improved, show study results.

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.

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.

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.
