TL;DR: The analysis showed that self-monitoring and self-management of oral coagulation is a safe option for suitable patients of all ages and patients should also be offered the option to self-manage their disease with suitable health-care support as back-up.

TL;DR: For women receiving an immediate all-clear result, participating in annual mammographic screening is psychologically beneficial: these women's positive views about mammography suggest that they view any distress caused by recall as an acceptable part of screening.

TL;DR: Assessment of whether treatment guided by serial BNP or NT‐proBNP monitoring improves outcomes compared with treatmentguided by clinical assessment alone found this could optimise drug management in heart failure patients whilst allaying concerns over potential side effects due to drug intolerance.

TL;DR: This longitudinal study investigated pre‐screening factors that predicted breast cancer‐specific distress among 1286 women who were undergoing annual mammography screening as part of a UK programme for younger women with a family history of breast cancer.

TL;DR: There is still considerable uncertainty between a 10 mg and a 5 mg loading dose for initiation of warfarin and in the elderly, lower initiation doses or age adjusted doses are more appropriate, leading to less higher INRs.
