Chronic statin administration may attenuate early anthracycline-associated declines in left ventricular ejection function.

Runyawan Chotenimitkhun, +9 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is highlighted that individuals receiving statin therapy for prevention of CVD may experience less deterioration in LVEF upon early receipt of Anth-bC than individuals not receiving a statin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of lycopene intake and consumption of tomato products to incident CVD.

Paul F. Jacques, +4 more
- 28 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: Supporting evidence is provided for an inverse association between lycopene and CVD risk; however, additional research is needed to determine whether Lycopene or other components of tomatoes, the major dietary source of lycopenes, are responsible for the observed association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postmenopausal estrogen use, type of menopause, and lens opacities: the Framingham studies.

Katherine Worzala, +7 more
- 11 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether postmenopausal estrogen use is associated with the occurrence of age-related lens opacities (nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular) and found that women who had taken estrogen for 10 years or longer had a 60% reduction in risk compared with nonusers (odds ratio 0.4; 95% confidence interval, 0.2-1.1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Does hospitalization impact survival after lower respiratory infection in nursing home residents

Robin L. Kruse, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2004 - 
TL;DR: Hospital treatment is not associated with either increased or decreased risk for mortality for nursing home residents with LRIs, and for residents with low and medium mortality risk, nursing home treatment is likely to be safe and less costly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol effects on mood, equilibrium, and simulated driving.

Anthony Liguori, +4 more
- 01 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that an ethanol dose that neither influences certain mood states nor impairs simple psychomotor task performance nonetheless may impair equilibrium and complex Psychomotor tasks (e.g., driving).
