Subsyndromal symptoms hasten relapse in BD Posted: 30 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT The presence of subsyndromal affective symptoms is associated with a significantly shorter time to relapse among euthymic patients with bipolar disorder, Spanish research shows.

Smoking rates increased in relatives of schizophrenia patients Posted: 30 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT The unaffected first-degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia are more likely to be smokers than individuals without a family history of the disorder, researchers report.

Physical, verbal reminders could improve preoperative preparation Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients may be unable to recall much of the preoperative information they are given by anesthesiologists, suggesting the need for reminders such as printed instructions, and telephone calls the night before their procedure is scheduled, says a US research team.

Dabigatran exposure may RE-LY on genetics Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found that variants in the ABCB1 and CES1 genes are associated with increased dabigatran plasma levels in patients taking the oral anticoagulant.

Early European TAVI registry data unveiled Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT The 1-month follow-up results of the Transcatheter Valve Treatment Sentinel Pilot Registry have provided data on factors associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation, as well as short term outcomes, in Europe.

Anastomotic leakage does not increase rectal cancer recurrence risk Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Incidence of clinical anastomotic leak after anterior resection for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma does not increase the risk for local disease recurrence, despite previous studies indicating the opposite, report US researchers.

Emergency readmission after endoscopy linked to mortality risk Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT The risk for mortality is significantly increased among patients who are readmitted urgently following endoscopy, compared with other endoscopy patients, a UK study shows.

Anastomotic leakage does not increase rectal cancer recurrence risk Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Incidence of clinical anastomotic leak after anterior resection for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma does not increase the risk for local disease recurrence, despite previous studies indicating the opposite, report US researchers.

Sterotactic radiotherapy offers good results in recurrent head and neck cancer Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT For patients with recurring head and neck cancer, stereotactic body radiotherapy offers a feasible and tolerable salvage treatment, with median overall survival rates of more than 1 year, report researchers.

Oral lesion progression markers validated, discovered Posted: 29 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Loss of heterozygosity can reliably differentiate between individuals with premalignant oral lesions who are likely to progress to oral carcinoma, and those who are not, show study results.
