Journal ArticleDOI

Martin J Landray,Richard Haynes,Jemma C. Hopewell,Sarah Parish,Theingi Aung,Joseph Tomson,K Wallendszus,Martin Craig,Lixin Jiang,Rory Collins,Jane Armitage +10 more
TL;DR: Among participants with atherosclerotic vascular disease, the addition of extended-release niacin-laropiprant to statin-based LDL cholesterol-lowering therapy did not significantly reduce the risk of major vascular events but did increase therisk of serious adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D and risk of death from vascular and non-vascular causes in the Whitehall study and meta-analyses of 12,000 deaths.
Joseph Tomson,Jonathan Emberson,Michael Hill,Andrew Gordon,Jane Armitage,Martin J. Shipley,Rory Collins,Robert Clarke +7 more
TL;DR: Despite strong inverse and apparently independent associations of 25(OH)D with vascular and non-vascular mortality, causality remains uncertain and large-scale randomized trials are required to assess the clinical relevance of these associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum dose of vitamin D for disease prevention in older people: BEST-D trial of vitamin D in primary care.
Harold Hin,Joseph Tomson,Connie B. Newman,Rijo Kurien,Michael Lay,Jolyon Cox,J. Sayer,Michael Hill,Jonathan Emberson,Jane Armitage,Robert Clarke +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that daily 4000 IU vitamin D3 is required to achieve blood levels associated with lowest disease risks, and this dose should be tested in future trials for fracture prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure demographics: nature or nurture ... ... genes or environment?
Joseph Tomson,Gregory Y.H. Lip +1 more
TL;DR: Examining the non-genetic influences in future hypertension research may be necessary in order to clearly define the local blood pressure demographics and the global hypertensive disease burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on metabolically active hormones in patients post-myocardial infarction
TL;DR: Omacor had little effect on glycaemic control among male post-MI patients, and was associated with raised insulin levels, compared to usual care; thus, a metabolic basis for the cardioprotective action of Omacor, outside of its lipid lowering effects, merits further investigation.
