Acute to chronic insomnia transition warns of depression risk Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST In patients with acute insomnia, long periods of light sleep may be the key driver to chronic insomnia and depression, research suggests.

Single-pill combination antihypertensives have mixed adherence effects Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST Switching to single-pill combination antihypertensives results in marked improvements in medication adherence, except for in a subset of patients for whom the strategy may backfire, say researchers.

<i>S. pneumoniae</i> predicts acute sinusitis microbial response Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST Research from the USA shows that confirmed nasopharyngeal colonization with Streptococcus pneumoniae independently predicts a rapid response to antimicrobial therapy in children with acute sinusitis.

South Korean lung SCC genetic secrets revealed Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST Close examination of DNA taken from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung in South Korean patients has identified a gene fusion that may be targeted by current treatments, scientists say.

Shoulder arthroplasty ‘reliable’ for easing rheumatoid arthritis pain Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST Shoulder replacement surgery can relieve pain and improve range of motion in most patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed to respond to medication and physical therapy, say researchers.

Cystoscopy imperative during female incontinence surgery Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:00 PM PST US researchers say that cystoscopy for lower urinary tract injury should be performed in all women undergoing urinary incontinence surgery, after finding that abnormalities are detected in one in 20 patients.
