Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking, quitting, and the risk of cardiovascular disease among women and men in the Asia-Pacific region.
TL;DR: Unless urgent public health measures are put into place, the impact of the smoking epidemic in Asia, and among women, will be enormous and tobacco control policies that specifically target these populations are essential.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The ADVANCE trial as discussed by the authors was designed to provide reliable evidence on the balance of benefits and risks conferred by blood pressure lowering therapy and intensive glucose control therapy in high-risk diabetic patients, regardless of initial blood pressure or glucose concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of blood pressure lowering and intensive glucose control on the incidence and progression of retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomised controlled trial
Joline W.J. Beulens,Anushka Patel,Johannes R. Vingerling,John Kennedy Cruickshank,Alun D. Hughes,Alice Stanton,J. Lu,S. A. McG. Thom,Diederik E. Grobbee,Ronald P. Stolk,Ronald P. Stolk +10 more
TL;DR: Blood pressure lowering or intensive glucose control did not significantly reduce the incidence and progression of retinopathy, although consistent trends towards a benefit were observed, with significant reductions in some lesions observed with both interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular risk prediction tools for populations in Asia
Federica Barzi,Anushka Patel,D. Gu,Piyamitr Sritara,Tai Hing Lam,Anthony Rodgers,Mark Woodward +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-information Framingham risk prediction tool was used to predict future cardiovascular risk with similar accuracy in Asian populations as tools developed from data on local cohorts, and the performance of these equations, and a subsequently recalibrated Framingham equation, were evaluated among participants from independent Chinese cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review: Sodium bicarbonate treatment regimens for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy
Sophia Zoungas,Toshiharu Ninomiya,Rachel R. Huxley,Alan Cass,Meg Jardine,Martin Gallagher,Anushka Patel,Ali Vasheghani-Farahani,Gelareh Sadigh,Vlado Perkovic +9 more
TL;DR: In this review of 23 trials on whether sodium bicarbonate reduced risk for contrast-induced nephropathy more than saline, the pooled relative risk for CIN was 0.62 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.86).
