TL;DR: In this article, the authors formulated comprehensive recommendations for the diagnostic approach to patients with suspected pulmonary embolism, based on randomized trials, and formulated diagnostic management recommendations were formulated based on results of the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II (PIOPED II) and outcome studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the longitudinal relationship between selected CVD risk factors (blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, and LDL peak particle density [PPD]) and glycemia in the three treatment groups of the Diabetes Prevention Program was examined.

TL;DR: Baseline HbA1c predicted incident diabetes in all treatment groups and, in contrast to the superiority of the lifestyle intervention on glucose-defined diabetes, metformin and lifestyle interventions had similar effects in preventing Hb a1c- defined diabetes.

TL;DR: G gadolinium-enhanced MRA may be a useful diagnostic alternative in some patients with suspected acute PE, particularly if they have an elevated creatinine level, have an allergy to radiographic contrast material, or should, if possible, avoid exposure to ionizing radiation.

TL;DR: The methods of the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis III (PIOPED III) are described in detail and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography in combination with venous phase magnetic resonance venography is determined.
