Heart surgery risk in radiation-treated cancer survivors Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Cancer survivors who are treated with chest radiation are nearly twice as likely to die in the years following major heart surgery as patients undergoing similar surgery who are never treated with radiation, a study shows.

HCV infection alone not linked to diabetes risk Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Individuals with hepatitis C virus infection are at increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes only if they have elevated alanine aminotransferase levels, show study findings published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Complication rates following rotational forceps delivery ‘low’ Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT The short-term rates of neonatal and maternal complications following successful Kielland's rotational forceps delivery are low and comparable with other forms of delivery, and lower than those seen with cesarean delivery, say UK investigators.

Iron deficiency significance in cancer questioned Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have uncovered an intriguing correlation between iron deficiency in patients with cancer and an increased likelihood of advanced disease and poor performance status.

Cognitive dysfunction predicts ALS decline Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT The cognitive status of patients who have non-C9orf72-associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may serve to distinguish distinct subtypes of the disease, according to study findings.

Bisphosphonate therapy may aid osteoarthritis patients Posted: 14 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Research adds weight to reports that patients with knee osteoarthritis may experience benefits in pain or progression relief from bisphosphonate treatment.
