Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the renin-sodium profile with the risk of myocardial infarction in patients with hypertension.
Michael H. Alderman,Shantha Madhavan,Wee Lock Ooi,Hillel W. Cohen,Jean E. Sealey,John H. Laragh +5 more
TL;DR: In the study population, whose blood pressure before and during treatment was in a narrow range, and after other cardiovascular risk factors had been considered, the renin profile before treatment remained independently associated with the subsequent risk of myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of pulse pressure and blood pressure reduction to the incidence of myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: The prognostic value of pretreatment pulse pressure as a predictor of myocardial infarction and the relation of pulse pressure and in-treatment diastolic blood pressure reduction to myocardIAL infarctions were investigated in a union-sponsored systematic hypertension control program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of dementing illnesses in an 80-year-old volunteer cohort.
Robert Katzman,Miriam K. Aronson,Paula A. Fuld,Claudia H. Kawas,Theodore Brown,Hal Morgenstern,William H. Frishman,Lewis I. Gidez,Howard A. Eder,Wee Lock Ooi +9 more
TL;DR: It is possible to identify a large cohort of 80‐year‐olds who are at low risk for AD and a smaller cohort at very high risk, prospectively followed over a 5‐year period.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between orthostatic hypotension and recurrent falls in nursing home residents.
TL;DR: The association between orthostatic hypotension and recurrent falls was independent of measured demographic or clinical risk factors for falls and may be prudent to identify high-risk residents and institute precautionary measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for mendelian inheritance in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.
Thomas A. Sellers,Joan E. Bailey-Wilson,Robert C. Elston,Alexander F. Wilson,Gillian Z. Elston,Wee Lock Ooi,Henry Rothschild +6 more
TL;DR: Segregation analyses that allowed for variable age of onset of lung cancer and smoking history indicated compatibility of the data with mendelian codominant inheritance of a rare major autosomal gene that produces earlier age of start of cancer.
