Age-related neural activation differences in bipolar patients Posted: 21 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder show age-related differences in the activation of neural circuitry that mediates motor inhibition, US researchers report.

Cannabis use linked to reduced mortality in psychosis Posted: 21 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that cannabis use is associated with decreased all-cause mortality risk in patients with schizophrenia.

Antibiotic raises cardiac mortality risk Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT The broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic azithromycin is linked to a small increase in cardiovascular mortality, which is most pronounced among patients with a high baseline CV disease risk, a study shows.

‘Fish pedicure’ risks infection for vulnerable patients Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers highlight the potential for the spread of harmful bacteria from fish to man through the use of "pedicure fish," especially in diabetes patients and other individuals with an increased risk for infection due to long-term disease.

Fat binding protein linked to diabetes risk Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT A protein secreted by adipose tissue is positively associated with the risk for diabetes in older men, research shows.

‘Fish pedicure’ risks infection for vulnerable patients Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT UK researchers highlight the potential for the spread of harmful bacteria from fish to man through the use of "pedicure fish," especially in diabetes patients and other individuals with an increased risk for infection due to long-term disease.

Postop renal complications confer high cost burden Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Postoperative complications following renal surgery are associated with higher hospital costs, longer lengths of stay in hospital, and greater in-hospital mortality, indicate US study results.

UK regulator rules against cabazitaxel in prostate cancer Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Treatment of hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer with cabazitaxel is not a cost-effective use of National Health Service resources, say new UK guidelines.

Bevacizumab fails to improve elderly NSCLC survival Posted: 20 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results indicate that the addition of bevacizumab to carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy does not increase survival rates in older patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
