Pathophysiologic differences evident between schizophrenia, bipolar Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Review findings reveal differences in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, relating specifically to the medial temporal lobe and associated limbic regions.

Low pre-morbid IQ not associated with psychosis risk Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT The strong correlations currently observed between low IQ and risk for psychosis are most likely linked to the influence that psychosis onset has on cognitive functioning rather than a shared genetic background, suggest study findings.

Femoropopliteal total occlusion therapy advances Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report that a novel balloon catheter system, the ENABLER-P, may provide an effective method of recanalizing chronic total occlusions of the superficial femoral artery and popliteal arteries.

GLP-1 receptor agonist boosts glycemic control in Asian patients Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Adding once-daily lixisenatide to basal insulin treatment is effective at improving glycemic control in Asian patients with Type 2 diabetes, show study findings.

Infants, children ‘susceptible to acetaminophen overdose’ Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Acute acetaminophen overdose is the most common identifiable cause of acute liver failure in children, warn researchers in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Ancient hepatitis B may hold clues to viral evolution, spread Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT The evolution of the hepatitis B virus and its possible migration have become clearer with the sequencing of the oldest sample of the virus, isolated from a mummified 16th-century Korean child, say scientists.

Capnography ‘useful adjunct’ to colonoscopy care Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Monitoring carbon dioxide levels improves detection of altered respiration and apnea in sedated patients undergoing colonoscopy, show ColCap Study results.

Work pattern affects night shift–breast cancer link Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT The risk for breast cancer increases significantly with both the number of years of night shift work and the cumulative number of shifts, Danish researchers have discovered.

Split-course RT valuable after hormone-resistant prostate cancer relapse Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT A split course of high-dose radiotherapy in men with progressive, hormone-refractory prostate cancer is effective and has an acceptable toxicity profile, report Australian researchers.

Capnography ‘useful adjunct’ to colonoscopy care Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Monitoring carbon dioxide levels improves detection of altered respiration and apnea in sedated patients undergoing colonoscopy, show ColCap Study results.

Novel guidelines manage youth maladaptive aggression Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Recommendations for the engagement, assessment, treatment, and management of maladaptive aggression in youth have been developed by US experts to improve treatment planning and selection.
