The Appropriate Use of Neuroimaging in the Diagnostic Work-Up of Dementia: An Economic Literature Review and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

SL Bermingham
TL;DR: The most effective and cost-effective strategy is to image patients who meet CCC criteria with CT and to follow-up with MRI for suspected cases of space-occupying lesions (SOL), but the results were sensitive to the specificity of MRI for detecting vascular causes of dementia.

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ticagrelor co-administered with aspirin in healthy volunteers.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that co-administration of aspirin with ticagrelor (50 mg bid, or 200‬mg bid) had no effect on ticagerelor pharmacokinetics or IPA (ADP-induced) by ticgrelor, and aspirin and ticgerelor had an additive effect on IPA (collagen-induced).

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.
