Journal ArticleDOI
Gemfibrozil for the Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in Men with Low Levels of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

TL;DR: Gemfibrozil therapy resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary disease whose primary lipid abnormality was a low HDL cholesterol level, suggesting that the rate of coronary events is reduced by raising HDL cholesterol levels and lowering levels of triglycerides without lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive Treatments for Acute, Subacute, and Chronic Low Back Pain: A Clinical Practice Guideline From the American College of Physicians
TL;DR: Clinicians should only consider opioids as an option in patients who have failed the aforementioned treatments and only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks for individual patients and after a discussion of known risks and realistic benefits with patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Among men with localized prostate cancer detected during the early era of PSA testing, radical prostatectomy did not significantly reduce all-cause or prostate-cancer mortality, as compared with observation, through at least 12 years of follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for Breast Cancer: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
Ned Calonge,Diana B. Petitti,Thomas G. DeWitt,Allen J. Dietrich,Kimberly D. Gregory,David C. Grossman,George Isham,Michael L. LeFevre,Rosanne M. Leipzig,Lucy N. Marion,Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk,Virginia A. Moyer,Judith K. Ockene,George F. Sawaya,J. Sanford Schwartz,Timothy J Wilt,US Preventive Serv Task Force +16 more
TL;DR: The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess additional benefits and harms of either digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging instead of film mammography as screening modalities for breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of registered nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes: systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Increased RN staffing was associated with lower hospital related mortality in intensive care units (ICUs) and lower odds of hospitalrelated mortality and adverse patient events and patient and hospital characteristics, including hospitals’ commitment to quality of medical care, likely contribute to the actual causal pathway.
