TLDR
In primary prevention without previous disease, aspirin is of uncertain net value as the reduction in occlusive events needs to be weighed against any increase in major bleeds.

Anti-myocardial ischemia effect of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl. by inhibiting expression of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in myocardial tissues of mice

TL;DR: Intragastric pretreatment with SP produced a dose-dependent increase in cardiac function and substantial evidence to support the clinical application of SP is shown and indicates that such medicine has great potential for treating ischemia-induced heart disease.

Genetic Determinants of On-Aspirin Platelet Reactivity: Focus on the Influence of PEAR1

TL;DR: A common genetic variant in PEAR1 (rs12041331) reproducibly influenced platelet aggregation in aspirin-treated patients with coronary artery disease, and the effect of this polymorphism may be related to changes in platelet activation.

Evidence-Based Pharmacotherapies for Alcohol Use Disorder: Clinical Pearls.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the use of Baclofen, a γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor agonist used for spasticity and pain, which received temporary approval for alcohol use disorder in France.

Determinants of reduced antiplatelet effect of aspirin in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the antiplatelet effect of aspirin was assessed by measurement of platelet aggregation employing multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA, Multiplate Analyzer) in whole blood anticoagulated with citrate or hirudin using arachidonic acid (AA) or collagen as agonists, and VerifyNow Aspirin Assay.

Efficacy and safety of cholesterol-lowering treatment: prospective meta-analysis of data from 90,056 participants in 14 randomised trials of statins.

TL;DR: Statin therapy can safely reduce the 5-year incidence of major coronary events, coronary revascularisation, and stroke by about one fifth per mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol, largely irrespective of the initial lipid profile or other presenting characteristics.

Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients

TL;DR: Aspirin (or another oral antiplatelet drug) is protective in most types of patient at increased risk of occlusive vascular events, including those with an acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke, unstable or stable angina, previous myocardian infarctions, stroke or cerebral ischaemia, peripheral arterial disease, or atrial fibrillation.

Body-mass index and cause-specific mortality in 900 000 adults: collaborative analyses of 57 prospective studies

TL;DR: Below the range 22.5-25 kg/m(2), BMI was associated inversely with overall mortality, mainly because of strong inverse associations with respiratory disease and lung cancer, despite cigarette consumption per smoker varying little with BMI.
