Altered fatty acid brain concentrations may contribute to schizophrenia Posted: 20 Feb 2013 04:00 PM PST Researchers have found subtle lipid disturbances in the prefrontal cortex of patients with schizophrenia, which may play a role in the pathology of the disease.

Mismatch between social anxiety, cognition in schizophrenia Posted: 20 Feb 2013 04:00 PM PST Patients with schizophrenia who also have social anxiety disorder actually have less impairment in social cognition than individuals with schizophrenia alone, research shows.

Symptom severity, hospice patient distress not necessarily linked Posted: 19 Feb 2013 04:00 PM PST End-stage heart failure patients being treated in hospices have multiple symptoms with potential to cause distress, indicate US study findings.

Air pollution exposure raises cardiac death rate Posted: 19 Feb 2013 04:00 PM PST Long-term exposure to high levels of particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 mm or below increases a person's chance for dying following a heart attack, show results from a large UK study.

‘Liver first’ approach first choice for metastatic rectal cancer Posted: 19 Feb 2013 04:00 PM PST Using the "liver first" approach to treat locally advanced rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases allows nearly three-quarters of patients to receive optimal neoadjuvant therapy and resection for both their primary tumor and metastases, researchers report.
