Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical utility of lipid and lipoprotein levels during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction
J. Michael Gaziano,Charles H. Hennekens,Suzanne Satterfield,Christopher L. Roy,Howard D. Sesso,Jan L. Breslow,Julie E. Buring +6 more
TL;DR: The effect of the timing of plasma lipid assessment among 294 patients who presented with MI was studied to determine whether the differences between the serum lipid values in-hospital when compared with post-discharge values would have a substantial impact on the decision to initiate lipid-lowering therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The latest report from Finland. A lesson in expectations.
TL;DR: Not surprisingly, the investigator in the biological sciences relishes the setting in which nature has provided a discrete, well-defined disease in which a single causative factor has been identified and for which a preventive or curative agent has become available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concerns about run-in periods in randomized trials.
Tubal Ligation, Hysterectomy, and Risk of Ovarian Cancer
Susan E. Hankinson,David J. Hunter,Graham A. Colditz,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Bernard Rosner,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: This article found a strong inverse association between tubal ligation and ovarian cancer, which persisted after adjustment for age, oral contraceptive use, parity, and other ovarian cancer risk factors (multivariate relative risk, 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16 to 0.64).
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupation and Risk of Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: The results suggest that white-collar occupation per se does not appear to protect from coronary heart disease, and any apparent protective effect on myocardial infarction that has been previously observed in white- collar compared with blue-collar workers may be attributable to differences in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
