Nicotine dependence risk increased in bipolar disorder Posted: 22 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Adults with mood and anxiety disorders are significantly more likely to be smokers than the general population, a US study of data from the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions shows.

Poor affect recognition may not predict psychosis in high-risk patients Posted: 22 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Decreased affect recognition is associated with psychosis vulnerability, but it is not a marker of conversion to psychosis in high-risk individuals, researchers report.

Ventricular factors linked to early and late post-cardiac surgery mortality Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Increased left ventricular mass index predicts perioperative mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, while a decreased fractional area of contraction in the left ventricle is linked to 1-year mortality, US scientists have found.

Downward trend for heart failure in Canada Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT The incidence of heart failure in Ontario, Canada, substantially decreased between 1997 and 2008, a study suggests.

Common diabetes treatment may cause bladder cancer Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT A commonly used diabetes treatment may increase patients' risk for bladder cancer, show US study findings.

Surgeons should not resist rectal resection in endometriosis Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Rectal resection for deeply infiltrating endometriosis can be performed with limited morbidity, say the authors of an Australian study.

Pain intensity not only predictor for hysterectomy Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Presurgical and surgical factors, and postsurgical pain intensity, should be taken into account when providing rescue analgesia to women after hysterectomy, researchers say.

‘Sitting service’ at end of life may improve chances of dying at home Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Individuals at the end of their life who use a sitting service to avoid being alone while dying or to give respite to family members who are caring for them, are significantly more likely to die at home than those who do not use such a service, report researchers.

Life-quality concerns for multiple myeloma survivors Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Care of patients with multiple myeloma should not end with the achievement of long-term survival, suggests research indicating many experience poor health-related quality of life in the decade after diagnosis.
