Depression :: Aripiprazole as adjunctive therapy in major depressive disorder
In adults with major depressive disorder, adding aripiprazole to antidepressant therapy (ADT) resulted in significant improvement in the primary endpoint, the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score.
HRT :: Interaction of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Any cardio protective effect of hormone replacement therapy may be inhibited if women are taking a particular type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killer, report researchers led by Garret FitzGerald from University of Pennsylvania in a paper published this week in PLoS Medicine.
Urology :: NYP/Weill Cornell Urologists present at 2007 AUA Conference

Erectile Dysfunction :: Erectile dysfunction and coronary heart disease
Research has shown a connection between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in men, and has established a need to consider one a precursor to the other.
IBS :: Hypnotherapy for Children with Functional Abdominal Pain or Irritable Bowel Syndrome
As hypnotherapy has demonstrated effectiveness in adults with IBS, researchers sought to compare its effects in children to standard medical therapy commonly used for the condition as an alternative to drug therapy.
Diverticulosis :: Can Patients with Diverticular Disease Eat Nuts, Corn and Popcorn?
Diverticulosis is a common disease of the large intestine characterized by pouches in the colon that bulge outward through weak spots in the colon musculature.
Fistula :: Stem cells for the treatment of complex perianal fistula
Complex anal fistulas, abnormal connections between the anal canal and the skin, is a chronic and highly debilitating condition affecting primarily young people and seriously compromising their quality of life.
Pain :: New medications needed for neuropathic pain
Despite an array of powerful medications available to treat neuropathic pain, many patients with this increasingly common disorder fail to get relief from chronic, severe pain, according to an article scheduled for the May 31 issue of ACS? Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, a bi-weekly publication.
Influenza :: Computer model maps efficient inoculation of hospital staff in pandemic outbreak
Community preparedness for a bioterrorism attack or influenza outbreak has been the focus of much interest and effort in recent years.
