Early morning SBP signals silent brain stenosis Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Ambulatory systolic blood pressure in the early hours of the morning is predictive of asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, the results of a cross-sectional study in China suggest.

Sore throat clinical score boosts effective antibiotic use Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Research published in the BMJ shows that clinical score is as good a guide for antibiotic prescribing as rapid streptococcal antigen detection tests in patients presenting to primary care with sore throat.

Current drugs may harbor small-cell lung cancer promise Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Scientists have identified several existing non-oncology drug classes that may have potential as a treatment for small-cell lung cancer, especially for patients with chemoresistant and metastatic disease.

Complement protein holds diagnostic, prognostic promise in lung cancer Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT A complement activation product known as "C4d" may have value as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for lung cancer, research suggests.

COPD–asthma overlap heightens exacerbation risk Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and concomitant asthma have significantly more exacerbations and hospitalizations than patients with COPD alone, research shows.

Early morning SBP signals silent brain stenosis Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Ambulatory systolic blood pressure in the early hours of the morning is predictive of asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, the results of a cross-sectional study in China suggest.

Sexual dysfunction ‘ignored in COPD’ Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers say that physicians should address sexual issues in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a matter of course, after finding that over three-quarters of men with the condition have some level of erectile dysfunction.

Nerve-sparing quality boosts urinary recovery after radical prostatectomy Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT The quality of nerve sparing during radical prostatectomy has a significant influence on the recovery of urinary function in men with prostate cancer, research shows.
