Mood lability and related symptoms may predict bipolar disorder Posted: 09 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Mood lability and mania-like, anxious/depressive, and irritability symptoms may be good candidates as prodromal symptoms of bipolar disorder, and, if confirmed, could be a possible target for treatment, US research indicates.

Psychotic disorders increased in migrants living in France Posted: 09 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found a high prevalence of psychotic disorders among migrant populations in France, confirming what has already been shown in other European countries.

Radiotherapy ‘does not preclude’ immediate breast reconstruction Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Women who receive radiotherapy after free-flap breast reconstruction are no more likely to require revision surgery than those who do not, say US researchers who believe immediate autologous surgery is feasible in this group.

Clinical prediction model developed for febrile children Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have developed a clinical prediction model to assess the likelihood of different serious bacterial infections in children presenting at the emergency department with fever.

Patient age influences leukemia characteristics, treatment Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are more likely to require high-risk chemotherapy than their pediatric counterparts, demonstrate results from a study using standardized diagnostic, risk assessment and treatment protocols.

Water-based exercise improves shoulder function for lymphedema patients Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT A water-based exercise program significantly improves shoulder range of motion in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema, report researchers.

Radiotherapy ‘does not preclude’ immediate breast reconstruction Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Women who receive radiotherapy after free-flap breast reconstruction are no more likely to require revision surgery than those who do not, say US researchers who believe immediate autologous surgery is feasible in this group.

Disruptive nursing home residents in pain don’t do locomotion Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Nursing home residents who have dementia are more likely to exhibit aggressive and agitated behavior the more pain they are in, report US researchers.

Etanercept reaps workplace benefits Posted: 08 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT The cost of treatment with the tumor necrosis factor inhibitor etanercept is offset by increased ability to work, suggests a study of US patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Ultrasound enables fuss-free lumbar puncture Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Use of ultrasound imaging helps to minimize adjustments, failures, and trauma during lumbar puncture or epidural catheterization, conclude the authors of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Calcium channel blockers best for managing hypertension in diabetes Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Calcium channel blockers stabilize morning blood pressure variability to a greater extent than other antihypertensive medications in patients with hypertension and Type 2 diabetes, suggest study findings.

Statins ‘commonly stopped, restarted’ Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT The factors that influence compliance with statin therapy are complex, with high rates of statin discontinuation yet also high long-term tolerance when rechallenged, shows research.

Hip replacement cancer risk ‘not major cause for concern’ Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Epidemiologic evidence may reassure patients with hip replacements that their prosthesis is unlikely to significantly increase their risk for cancer, UK researchers say.

Prognostic markers found for oropharyngeal cancer Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Alcohol consumption and p16 expression are associated with prognosis in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, Japanese researchers believe.

Electrical brain stimulation alone may not improve chronic aphasia Posted: 04 Apr 2013 05:00 PM PDT Findings from an Italian study suggest that transcranial direct current stimulation may only improve chronic aphasia symptoms when combined with specific synaptic activation achieved through behavioral treatment.
