TL;DR: Global hypertension disparities are large and increasing and collaborative efforts are urgently needed to combat the emerging hypertension burden in low- and middle-income countries.
Abstract: Background:Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide. We examined global disparities of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in 2010 and compa...

TL;DR: It is well known that many tumours are potentially immunogenic, as corroborated by the presence of tumour-specific immune responses in vivo, but why has tumour immunotherapy resulted in a generally poor clinical efficiency?
Abstract: It is well known that many tumours are potentially immunogenic, as corroborated by the presence of tumour-specific immune responses in vivo. Nonetheless, spontaneous clearance of established tumours by endogenous immune mechanisms is rare. Therefore, the focus of most cancer immunotherapies is to supplement essential immunogenic elements to boost tumour-specific immunity. Why then has tumour immunotherapy resulted in a generally poor clinical efficiency? The reason might lie in the increasingly documented fact that tumours develop diverse strategies that escape tumour-specific immunity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review of the association between a single item assessing general self-rated health (GSRH) and mortality and found that persons with poor self-reported health had a 2-fold higher mortality risk compared with persons with "excellent" health status, even after adjustment for key covariates such as functional status, depression, and co-morbidity.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Health planners and policy makers are increasingly asking for a feasible method to identify vulnerable persons with the greatest health needs. We conducted a systematic review of the association between a single item assessing general self-rated health (GSRH) and mortality. DATA SOURCES: Systematic MEDLINE and EMBASE database searches for studies published from January 1966 to September 2003. REVIEW METHODS: Two investigators independently searched English language prospective, community-based cohort studies that reported (1) all-cause mortality, (2) a question assessing GSRH; and (3) an adjusted relative risk or equivalent. The investigators searched the citations to determine inclusion eligibility and abstracted data by following a standarized protocol. Of the 163 relevant studies identified, 22 cohorts met the inclusion criteria. Using a random effects model, compared with persons reporting “excellent” health status, the relative risk (95% confidence interval) for all-cause mortality was 1.23 [1.09, 1.39], 1.44 [1.21, 1.71], and 1.92 [1.64, 2.25] for those reporting “good,” “fair,” and “poor” health status, respectively. This relationship was robust in sensitivity analyses, limited to studies that adjusted for comorbid illness, functional status, cognitive status, and depression, and across subgroups defined by gender and country of origin. CONCLUSIONS: Persons with “poor” self-rated health had a 2-fold higher mortality risk compared with persons with “excellent” self-rated health. Subjects’ responses to a simple, single-item GSRH question maintained a strong association with mortality even after adjustment for key covariates such as functional status, depression, and co-morbidity.

TL;DR: Some biomaterials, which have been suggested to promote chondrogenesis and to have potentials for tissue engineering of articular cartilage, are reviewed and a new biomaterial, a chitosan-based polysaccharide hydrogel, is introduced and discussed in terms of the biocompatibility with chondrocytes.
