Depressed cardiac patients at added risk Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Coronary artery disease patients may have an increased risk for peripheral arterial disease if they are depressed, study findings show.

Pulse oximetry detects sleep-disordered breathing in heart patients Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Overnight pulse oximetry can be used to accurately diagnose sleep-disordered breathing in patients with chronic heart failure, UK research suggests.

Weight training lowers diabetes risk in men Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Men who engage in weight training are at a reduced risk for Type 2 diabetes, especially if they combine this with aerobic exercise, show study findings.

Vaginal delivery for preterm vertex babies not as risky as thought Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Vaginal delivery for early preterm infants who have a vertex presentation does not have a significant negative impact on neonatal mortality compared with cesarean delivery, research suggests.

More psychologic support needed for pregnant women Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Women should be screened for anxiety and depression during pregnancy, say the authors of a Dutch study into psychologic stress and birth outcomes.

Combination therapy delays progression for metastatic breast cancer patients Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Phase III trial results show that a combination of the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole and fulvestrant, an analog of estradiol that downgrades the estrogen receptor, is superior to anastrozole alone in prolonging progression-free survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Allergies appear to lower brain tumor risk Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Testing positive for immunoglobulin E, a biomarker of allergy, reduces a person's risk for developing glioma, show study findings.

More psychologic support needed for pregnant women Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Women should be screened for anxiety and depression during pregnancy, say the authors of a Dutch study into psychologic stress and birth outcomes.

Two-drug combination helps combat cocaine addiction Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT A combination of two existing pharmaceutical drugs may soon be used to treat cocaine addiction, findings from an animal study in Science Translational Medicine suggest.

Pulse oximetry detects sleep-disordered breathing in heart patients Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Overnight pulse oximetry can be used to accurately diagnose sleep-disordered breathing in patients with chronic heart failure, UK research suggests.

Hydrocephalus dictates age-related SAH outcomes Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Age is only predictive of poor outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage because of its association with hydrocephalus, say researchers.
