Exercise partially alleviates depression in heart failure patients Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Structured exercise achieves modest reductions in depressive symptoms relative to usual care among patients with heart failure the results of a randomized-controlled trial show.

Risk score flyers raise diabetes awareness in China Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Distributing a simple Diabetes Risk Score is a cheap and effective way to raise awareness of the condition among the Chinese population, report researchers.

Exercise partially alleviates depression in heart failure patients Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Structured exercise achieves modest reductions in depressive symptoms relative to usual care among patients with heart failure the results of a randomized-controlled trial show.

Exercise hope for drug-resistant hypertension Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Even patients who have hypertension despite taking multiple antihypertensive drugs can achieve blood pressure reductions with a program of aerobic exercise, research shows.

Boric acid treatment equals best practice for otitis media Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Study findings show that a single application of boric acid powder followed by external auditory canal irrigation is as effective as topical ciprofloxacin eardrops for treating active chronic otitis media.

‘Chicken Wing’ clue to stroke risk in atrial fibrillation Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with atrial fibrillation who have a Chicken Wing left atrial appendage morphology are less likely to have a stroke than those with other morphologies, research suggests.

‘Chicken Wing’ clue to stroke risk in atrial fibrillation Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with atrial fibrillation who have a Chicken Wing left atrial appendage morphology are less likely to have a stroke than those with other morphologies, research suggests.

Corpus callosum abnormalities in BD patients Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with bipolar disorder show area reductions in the genu and isthmus subregions of the corpus callosum compared with mentally healthy controls, researchers report.

Self-recognition deficits in schizophrenia confirmed Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia exhibit impairments in self-recognition, results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies confirm.

Glutamatergic system involvement in BD supported Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies suggest that brain levels of glutamate plus glutamine are elevated in bipolar disorder patients compared with mentally healthy individuals.

OCS common in patients at high risk for psychosis Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Obsessive–compulsive symptoms are common in patients at high risk for psychosis and are associated with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, US study results show.

Deficit form of bipolar disorder supported Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Japanese study support the existence of a bipolar disorder subtype characterized by pervasive negative symptoms.

Schizophrenia brain changes 'due to disease rather than genes’ Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT The brain abnormalities observed in patients with schizophrenia are primarily due to processes associated with the disease itself or its treatment, as opposed to being caused by genetic factors, the results of a Dutch study indicate.

Elation and irritability increase BD risk Posted: 30 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT Symptoms of elation and irritability are significantly associated with an increased likelihood for developing bipolar disorder, researchers report.

Increased cortical thinning in schizophrenia patients Posted: 30 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia show greater cortical thinning in selected subregions of both the frontal and temporal lobes over a 2-year period than mentally healthy individuals, study results show.
