Too much salt can damage blood vessels and lead to hypertension Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT A high sodium intake over a prolonged period of time is associated with increased vascular dysfunction, which may lead to hypertension, researchers report.

Does normoglycemia reversion hold secret to preventing diabetes Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with prediabetes have a significantly reduced risk for progressing to full diabetes if they have a history of reverting to normal glucose regulation, show US study findings.

OSA underdiagnosed among primary care diabetes patients Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Obstructive sleep apnea is commonly underdiagnosed in patients with Type 2 diabetes in primary care, suggest study findings.

Skin infections in AD patients linked to PMN impairment Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Impairment of polymorphonuclear granulocytes among patients with atopic dermatitis may represent an additional cause of skin infections, suggest study findings.

Outcomes after ectopic pregnancy ‘broadly reassuring’ Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Women with an initial ectopic pregnancy are no more likely to experience complications in a subsequent pregnancy than are first-time mothers, research shows.

Patients with psoriasis at increased risk for developing diabetes Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study findings suggest that psoriasis is an independent risk factor for the development of Type 2 diabetes.

‘Take home’ methadone maintenance therapy has added benefits Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients who are given "take home" methadone maintenance treatment for opioid dependence are less likely to be admitted to hospital than those who do not, a study shows.

Amygdala volume reduced in schizophrenia, not psychotic BD Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Amygdala volume is reduced in patients with schizophrenia compared with those who have psychotic bipolar disorder, researchers report.

Superior temporal sulcus perfusion linked to QoL in schizophrenia Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patients with a relatively high quality of life show hypoperfusion in the superior temporal sulcus compared with those with a relatively low quality of life.

Diagnosis, not risk stratification, advised for TIA patients Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT A meta-analysis suggests that the ABCD2 score predicts short-term stroke risk in patients with transient ischemic attack, but has only minimal value in its recommended role as a risk stratification tool.

Every day counts for ruptured aneurysm treatment Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms should undergo treatment as soon as they become eligible, shows an analysis of the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial.

Short-term antiarrhythmic drug treatment postcardioversion could be effective Posted: 20 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Short-term antiarrhythmic drug treatment after cardioversion is less effective than long-term treatment, but prevents most recurrences of atrial fibrillation, a study in The Lancet shows.

Value of pathology review highlighted in node-negative breast cancer Posted: 19 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Secondary pathology review results in significant changes in diagnosis and treatment for women with node-negative breast cancer, Canadian researchers report.

Bisphosphonate benefit for breast cancer yet to be proven Posted: 17 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Older patients with breast cancer may benefit from adjuvant treatment with oral bisphosphonates, but further studies are needed before general application in the breast cancer population, say researchers.
