Location of fat determines diabetes risk in obesity Posted: 20 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT New tools are needed to discriminate risk for prediabetes and diabetes among obese individuals, suggest findings from a US study.

Same-day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy ‘poses no safety concerns’ Posted: 20 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers say that patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy can be discharged the same day, with no associated safety concerns.

Routine tests flag up cancer danger in cryptogenic stroke Posted: 20 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT Blood tests and imaging findings could point to hidden malignancies in patients with cryptogenic stroke, say researchers.

High uric acid precursor of obesity, metabolic syndrome Posted: 19 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT The relationship between uric acid and early cardiometabolic risk may precede obesity and the metabolic syndrome, show study findings.

Recurrent glioblastoma: consider after effects before choosing palliative surgery Posted: 19 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT Before suggesting surgery as palliative therapy for patients with recurrent glioblastoma, physicians should consider the impact of morbidities on quality of life, suggest researchers from Italy.

Benefits limited of surgery weight loss for sleep apnea Posted: 19 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT Obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea who lose significant weight through surgery may still not be cured of their sleep disorder, study findings indicate.
