Eye vessels predict CV risk in African–American diabetes patients Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT The likelihood of African–Americans with Type 1 diabetes experiencing incident hypertension and lower extremity arterial disease over a 6-year period can be predicted by their retinal vessel caliber at baseline, say researchers.

Age and smoking contribute to low vitamin D status Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Older age and current smoking increase a person's risk for vitamin D deficiency over lack of sun exposure alone, say researchers.

Intensive exercise answer to psoriasis prevention Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Vigorous physical activity may reduce a person's risk for developing psoriasis, show results from a US study.

DEFUSE 2: Imaging mismatch could guide endovascular stroke therapy Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT An automated magnetic resonance imaging analysis program successfully predicts which patients will benefit from endovascular therapy for acute stroke, show the DEFUSE 2 findings.

In-hospital stroke ‘neglected’ Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Inpatients who have a stroke face delays to treatment, even in an institution with established protocols for treating patients who have stroke out of hospital, researchers reported at the European Stroke Conference in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thrombolysis benefits prevail in face of severe stroke, tissue damage Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Intravenous thrombolysis has marked benefits in stroke patients over the age of 80 years and also benefits those who have severe stroke or early ischemic changes on imaging, subgroup analysis of the International Stroke Trial-3 confirms.

Stent design affects periprocedural carotid stenting risk Posted: 24 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Use of stents with an open- rather than closed-cell design increases periprocedural risk during carotid stenting, the Carotid Stenting Trialists' Collaboration reports.
