Thrombosis biomarker levels differ according to thrombolysis strategy Posted: 30 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT An early invasive strategy following thrombolysis for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction is associated with significant changes in the levels of inflammatory and thrombotic biomarkers, a substudy of the Norwegian study on district treatment of STEMI shows.

People with fatty livers need to lose weight Posted: 30 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT Exercising moderately for 150 to 300 minutes a week does not improve lipoprotein metabolism in obese people with nonalcoholic fatty lipid disease, show findings from a US study.
