Daytime sleepiness common in bipolar disorder Posted: 23 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder commonly experience excessive daytime sleepiness, which has a negative impact on functioning, researchers report.

Structural brain changes in psychotic adolescents Posted: 23 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Adolescents who develop psychosis show significant structural brain changes around the time of illness onset, researchers report.

Stem cells show promise for heart failure Posted: 22 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT In the first study of its kind, researchers have succeeded in taking skin cells from heart failure patients that can differentiate into cardiomyocytes and integrate with cardiac tissue.

Electronic health records fail to boost diabetes care Posted: 22 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Primary care practices that use electronic health records as opposed to paper-based ones do not necessarily provide improved quality of care for diabetes patients, report researchers.

Laparoscopic CRC surgery ‘beneficial’ for octogenarians Posted: 22 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Age is no barrier to laparoscopic large bowel resection for colorectal cancer, say UK researchers who found that octogenarian and nonagenarian patients may benefit from the procedure.

Cristobalite implicated in industry lung cancer Posted: 22 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT The increased risk for lung cancer seen in silicon carbide industry workers is primarily due to cristobalite and silicon carbide fiber exposure, show study findings.

Laparoscopic CRC surgery ‘beneficial’ for octogenarians Posted: 22 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Age is no barrier to laparoscopic large bowel resection for colorectal cancer, say UK researchers who found that octogenarian and nonagenarian patients may benefit from the procedure.
