Unstable blood pressure may have cognitive consequences in the elderly Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Increased visit-to-visit blood pressure variability is associated with impaired cognition in elderly patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, shows a secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial.

Vitamin D supplementation falls short in pneumonia prevention Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Results from a series of case–control studies involving over 135,000 participants have failed to show any benefit of vitamin D supplementation in the prevention of pneumonia.

Sympathetic activation implicated in sleep disturbance Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Individuals reporting disturbed sleep and a history of depressive symptoms have elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, reveal findings that indicate a role for sympathetic activation in poor perceived sleep.

CPAP cuts mortality risk in COPD–sleep apnea overlap Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT US researchers have found that use of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea is associated with reductions in mortality, even when used only minimally.

Single-dose infection prophylaxis effective in urologic surgery Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers in Japan have shown that a single dose of antimicrobial prophylaxis prior to some urologic procedures results in low rates of perioperative infection.

Histologic prostatitis linked to sexual dysfunction in BPH Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers from China say that urologists must be more alert to the presence of histologic prostatitis in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, after finding that it is significantly associated with the risk for sexual dysfunction.
