Combined resistance, endurance training improves BP in obese patients with heart disease Posted: 06 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Combined resistance and endurance training significantly improves diastolic blood pressure and insulin resistance compared with endurance training alone in obese hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease, researchers say.

Combined resistance, endurance training improves BP in obese patients with heart disease Posted: 06 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Combined resistance and endurance training significantly improves diastolic blood pressure and insulin resistance compared with endurance training alone in obese hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease, researchers say.

Schizophrenia and BD share similar neurodevelopmental roots Posted: 01 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Increased genetic risk for both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is associated with decreased white matter volume, thinner orbitofrontal and medial temporal cortices, and a thicker temporoparietal cortex, research shows.

Leisure time exercise significantly reduces CVD mortality Posted: 01 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Increased levels of physical activity during leisure time are associated with significantly reduced cardiovascular disease mortality, a study shows.

Garlic compound effective against <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Posted: 01 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Research suggests that a compound present in garlic can kill Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, a leading cause of gastrointestinal disease, at concentration levels over 100 times lower than those of two commonly used antibiotics.
