TL;DR: The blood pressure of patients with essential hypertension has a seasonal variation with higher pressures in the winter than in the summer, and an increased load of sodium presented to the kidney for excretion may be contributing factors in the rise in blood pressure in winter.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor temocapril improved forearm vasodilatory response to reactive hyperemia, suggesting its beneficial effect on endothelial function.

TL;DR: A pandemic influenza A(H1N1) virus infection quickly circulated worldwide in 2009 and the first case was reported in Japan in May 2009, one month after its outbreak in Mexico as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This is the first patient with typical Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome who had survived into the fourth decade, and some immunologic and endocrinologic abnormalities commonly seen in the elderly were present in this patient.

TL;DR: It is concluded that another mechanism, such as enhancement of renal or local kinin‐prostaglandin system, as well as suppression of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system may be involved in the long‐term efficacy of captopril.
