Non-righthandedness increased in BD patients Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder are around twice as likely to be non-righthanded as mentally healthy individuals, study results show.

Schizophrenia patients benefit from text message reminders Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT A text message-based service may help improve medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia, researchers report.

CKD may raise stroke, bleeding risk in AF patients Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Danish study results show that the presence of chronic kidney disease appears to raise the risk for stroke, systemic thromboembolism, and bleeding among patients with atrial fibrillation.

Highly sensitive troponin assay shortens heart attack diagnosis Posted: 20 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT An algorithm that incorporates high-sensitivity cardiac troponin could allow accurate rule-in and rule-out of patients with acute chest pain within 1 hour of presentation, a study shows.

Gene therapy applied to peripheral arterial disease Posted: 20 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy could be used to treat patients with severe peripheral arterial disease, suggest results of a phase I clinical trial.
