Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol Consumption and the Risk of Bladder Cancer in the Framingham Heart Study
Luc Djoussé,Arthur Schatzkin,Lori B. Chibnik,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Bernard E. Kreger,R. Curtis Ellison +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that total and beverage-specific alcohol consumption are not associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal Artery Stent Outcomes: Effect of Baseline Blood Pressure, Stenosis Severity, and Translesion Pressure Gradient
Timothy P. Murphy,Timothy P. Murphy,Christopher J. Cooper,Alan H. Matsumoto,Donald E. Cutlip,Karol M. Pencina,Kenneth Jamerson,Katherine R. Tuttle,Joseph I. Shapiro,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Joseph M. Massaro,Joseph M. Massaro,William L. Henrich,Lance D. Dworkin,Lance D. Dworkin +14 more
TL;DR: There is no evidence of a significant treatment effect of the renal artery stent procedure compared with medical therapy alone based on stenosis severity, level of systolic blood pressure elevation, or according to the magnitude of the trans-stenotic pressure gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma Knife surgery targeting the resection cavity of brain metastasis that has progressed after whole-brain radiotherapy.
Paul K. Kim,Thomas L. Ellis,Volker W. Stieber,Kevin P. McMullen,Edward G. Shaw,Thomas P. McCoy,Ralph B. D'Agostino,J. Daniel Bourland,Allan F. deGuzman,Kenneth E. Ekstrand,Michael Raber,Stephen B. Tatter +11 more
TL;DR: When metastases progress after WBRT and require resection, GKS targeting the resection cavity is a viable strategy and appears to have achieved its goal of local disease control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Associations Between Smoking and Cardiovascular Disease, 1971 to 2006 (from the Framingham Heart Study)
TL;DR: The results demonstrate a consistent twofold increased risk of CVD in men who smoke compared with nonsmokers for each 12-year time period spanning from 1971 to 2006, and highlight the importance of continued public health efforts to address smoking as a modifiable exposure that strongly contributes toward CVD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of corneal arcus to cardiovascular disease (from the Framingham Heart Study data set).
Antonio B. Fernandez,Michelle J. Keyes,Michael J. Pencina,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Paul D. Thompson,Paul D. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: To date, this is the largest and lengthiest population-based cohort study examining the direct association between corneal arcus and CVD and CAD and predicted CVD in the community-based Framingham Heart Study cohort because of the strong association of cornean arcus with increasing age.
