2-arm blood pressure check indicator for risk from heart disease or death
A systematic review and meta-analysis carried out by researchers at the University of Exeter Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) has found that differences in systolic blood pressure between arms could be a useful indicator of the likelihood of vascular risk and death. The findings ...

In Patients With Rare Brain Tumor, Abnormal Chromosome Indicator Of Treatment And Outcome
A recent analysis of clinical trial results performed by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) demonstrate that a chromosomal abnormality - specifically, the absence (co-deletion) of chromosomes 1p and 19q - have definitive prognostic and predictive value for managing the treatment of adult patients with pure and mixed anaplastic oligodendrogliomas...

Appendicitis Perforation Rates Are A Misleading Indicator Of Health Care Access
A study published in the January issue of the Archives of Surgery suggests that using appendicitis perforations rates as an indicator of access to healthcare is misleading and inappropriate. The research finds that only a small percentage of the disparity in rates of perforation between minority and white children can ...
New indicator may help identify patients with increased risk from throat cancer
Researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have found a new indicator that may predict which patients with a common type of throat cancer are most likely have the cancer spread to other parts of their bodies. Patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who had "matted" ...

Novel, Noninvasive Measurement A Stronger Indicator For Heart Failure Than Hypertension And Other Established Risk Factors
A new study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and collaborators at various institutions, presented at the 2011 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, shows that a novel, non-invasive measurement of arterial wave reflections may be able to predict who is most at risk ...
Underage Drinking Among Close Friends High Indicator Of Future Alcohol Use By Black Teens
Research led by University of Southern California (USC) professor Mary Ann Pentz, Ph.D., shows that black middle school students whose close friends drink alcohol are more likely to drink alcohol in high school than their white classmates. The study, which appears in the September-October 2011 issue of the journal Alcohol ...
