Gene variations predict breast cancer sleep disturbance Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified cytokine gene variations in women with breast cancer that may help to identify those at increased risk for sleep disturbance following surgery.

Financial incentives only partial solution for hypertension control Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Providing financial incentives to general practitioners goes some way toward improving hypertension control in their patients, shows research published in JAMA.

Gene variations predict breast cancer sleep disturbance Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified cytokine gene variations in women with breast cancer that may help to identify those at increased risk for sleep disturbance following surgery.

Attention drawn to COPD in never smokers Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Research from Denmark shows that, while never smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease typically experience milder disease than their smoking counterparts, they still have substantial morbidity due to COPD- and pneumonia-related hospital admissions.

Hyperthyroidism sounds urinary problem alarm Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Physicians should be alert to urinary problems in women with hyperthyroidism, say researchers who found an association between the endocrine disorder and bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis.

Gene panel predicts low-risk prostate cancer fate Posted: 15 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers from the USA have identified a three-gene signature that can predict prostate cancer progression in low Gleason score tumors.
