Early age at bipolar onset linked to increased depressive morbidity Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT An early age at bipolar disorder onset is associated with increased depressive morbidity, results from a US study show.

Neurotensin as an indicator for poor health outcomes in women Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT The satiety hormone neurotensin may provide a novel biomarker for assessing risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer among women, report researchers.

Downregulated protein could be revascularization target in critical limb ischemia Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT Levels of calcium-sensor protein, S100A1, are downregulated in patients with critical limb ischemia, say researchers who believe the protein could be a potential therapeutic target to promote revascularization.

Neurotensin as an indicator for poor health outcomes in women Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT The satiety hormone neurotensin may provide a novel biomarker for assessing risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer among women, report researchers.

Brain size reduced in schizophrenia patients Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT Medicated and antipsychotic-naive patients with schizophrenia show significant reductions in brain volume, researchers report.

Early age at bipolar onset linked to increased depressive morbidity Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT An early age at bipolar disorder onset is associated with increased depressive morbidity, results from a US study show.

METASTROKE refines genetic stroke culprits Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT An analysis from the METASTROKE collaboration confirms an increased stroke risk associated with four previously reported genetic loci and shows that these are specific to certain stroke subtypes.

Brain size reduced in schizophrenia patients Posted: 11 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT Medicated and antipsychotic-naive patients with schizophrenia show significant reductions in brain volume, researchers report.

Tourniquet timing alters foot surgery pain outcomes Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT The timing of thigh tourniquet application may affect pain control in patients undergoing forefoot surgery, research published in Foot and Ankle Surgery suggests.

Public reporting states have low angioplasty rates Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT US states in which public reporting of percutaneous coronary intervention rates by catheterization laboratories is required may have a reduced rate of the procedure in acute myocardial infarction patients, research suggests.

No benefit from irrigation during appendectomy Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT Irrigating the peritoneal cavity during appendectomy for perforated appendicitis offers no advantage over suction alone, with similar rates of postoperative abscess in children treated using both approaches, according to the findings of a US study.

UK acid-related disease trends revealed Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT The incidence of Barrett's esophagus in the UK has doubled in recent years, but the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease is stable, study findings reveal.

Tissue test detects oral cancer risk Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT A molecular diagnostic scoring system based on patients' FOXM1-associated gene messenger RNA expression levels is able to quantitatively diagnose and stratify oral carcinoma and its aggressiveness, show UK and Norwegian study results.

Tomatoes every day may keep stroke at bay Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT Regular consumption of tomatoes and other lycopene-rich fruits and vegetables may help reduce a man's risk for stroke, suggest study findings.
