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.

Risk of bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection for colorectal tumors in patients with continued use of low-dose aspirin

TL;DR: It is suggested that continued use of LDA increased the risk of bleeding after ESD for colorectal tumors compared with nonuse of anticoagulant/antiplatelets.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prognostic utility of tests of platelet function for the detection of ‘aspirin resistance’ in patients with established cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease: a systematic review and economic evaluation

TL;DR: Evidence indicates that some PFTs may have some prognostic utility, but methodological and clinical heterogeneity between studies and different approaches to analyses create confusion and inconsistency in prognostic results, and prevented a quantitative summary of their prognostic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspirin resistance and other aspirin-related concerns.

TL;DR: This review presents both the historical aspects of aspirin use and contemporary developments in its clinical use and discusses the role aspirin resistance has played in the development of the medication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preclinical systemic toxicity evaluation of chitosan-solid lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated aspirin and curcumin in combination with free sulforaphane in BALB/c mice.

TL;DR: No signs of toxicity in acute, subacute, and subchronic studies following oral administration of ACS c-SLNs were found indicating that the oral dosing regimens were safe at the levels tested for long-term administration to prevent the onset of pancreatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suboptimal prescribing of proton-pump inhibitors in low-dose aspirin users: a cohort study in primary care

TL;DR: More than 50% of the patients with an increased GI risk are not treated sufficiently with a concomitant PPI, increasing the risk of GI side effects, underlines the necessity to consider merging recommendations into one common, standard and frequently used recommendation by primary care physicians.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
