Undiagnosed OSA patients have altered cardiovascular responses during exercise recovery

People with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have altered cardiovascular responses during recovery from maximal exercise. These results suggest an imbalance in the autonomic control of heart rate during recovery, and may be an early clinical sign of the progression of OSA.

1. Israeli scientists identify: Genes that affect responses of multiple sclerosis patients to copaxone
   10-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Getting the drug dosage correct can be a tricky exercise in trial and error in a disease like multiple sclerosis. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute and the Technion have identified two genes that affect a patient's response to the drug Copaxone, a finding which may help take the some of the guesswork out of treatment.

   With positron emission tomography imaging, seeing is believing: evaluating a patient's response to chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma typically involves visual interpretation of scans of cancer tumors. Researchers have found that measuring a quantitative index -- one that reflects the reduction of metabolic activity after chemotherapy first begins -- adds accurate information about patients' responses to first-line chemotherapy, according to a study in the October issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

5. GI screening: Racing time or wasting time?
   05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Preventative medicine and technology are some of the great benefits in this ever-changing age of health-care technology. Operations that once required major surgery and in-patient stays are being replaced with minimally invasive procedures with quick recovery times. Among these preventative technologies include CT scans, colonoscopies and X-rays. But with all of these available options in detecting abnormalities in patients, how does one choose which test to perform and whether it is worth the time to test on fast-acting ailments? Research presented today at Digestive Disease Week 2007 provides guidance as to which tests are best for which patients. DDW is the largest international gathering of physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.

   In a study involving unannounced visits by actors portraying new patients, primary care physicians shared personal information about one-third of the time, according to a report in the June 25 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Only 10 (14 percent) of these disclosures were in response to a patient question, and most (62, or 85 percent) appeared not to be useful to the patient.

   A new study finds that monitoring the capacity of these patients to exercise on a treadmill -- an evaluation called exercise tolerance testing -- may be useful in predicting the condition's progression and whether the patient will need surgery. Led by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the research is published in the American Journal of Cardiology.

   A new study on the ability of liver cells to interact with T cells (lymph cells that play a role in regulating the immune response) found that such interactions do occur and demonstrated the mechanism by which they may take place. The results may help explain the altered immune responses that occur with aging and other conditions and may be useful in developing therapies for viral hepatitis and autoimmune diseases.

    Whether a patient is awaiting a heart transplant or living with chronic heart failure, cardiologists are continuously looking for new therapies that address short-term and/or long-term needs of chronically impaired cardiac patients. Research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 56th Annual Scientific Session reviewed new treatments and interventions, including LVAD implantation and diuretic therapies to support left ventricular function in severely compromised cardiovascular patients.
