Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond baseline data: the use of time-varying covariates.
TL;DR: The search for and identification of good prognostic factors are key components in risk stratification and treatment and variables quantifying the study treatments are entered as variables into the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between lovastatin and gemfibrozil in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia.
TL;DR: A randomized, multicenter, double-blind, prospective, 18-week comparison of lovastatin with gemfibrozil was performed to compare their efficacy and tolerability in adults with types IIa and IIb primary hypercholesterolemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Diabetes type-specific GRS are consistent predictors of diabetes type across racial/ethnic groups in a U.S. youth cohort, but future work needs to account for differences in GRS distribution by ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical stress delays prostate involution in mice.
TL;DR: Results indicate that apoptosis and prostate involution in response to androgen ablation therapy could be delayed by surgical stress via the beta2-adrenoreceptor/BAD signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between gastrostomy tube placement, poor post-operative outcomes, and hospital re-admissions in head and neck cancer patients.
TL;DR: Though having enteral access in the form of a G-tube at any point suggests a more high risk patient, having aG-tube placed in the pre-operative period may protect against poor post-operative outcomes.
