Outdoor temperature, blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease mortality among 23 000 individuals with diagnosed cardiovascular diseases from China.

TL;DR: Careful monitoring and more aggressive blood pressure lowering treatment in the cold months are needed to help reduce the winter excess CVD mortality in high-risk individuals.

Functional foods and their role in cancer prevention and health promotion: a comprehensive review.

TL;DR: The evaluation of cancer will indicate where cancer treatment is ineffective and wasteful, and offer alternative cancer care packages that are cost-effective and suited to low-resource settings.

Blood cholesterol in late-life and cognitive decline: a longitudinal study of the Chinese elderly

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined whether higher blood cholesterol concentrations were associated with faster cognitive decline in a community-based longitudinal study of Chinese elderly and found that higher baseline TC and LDL-C concentrations were significantly associated with greater cognitive decline.

Effects of an angiotensin-converting -enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients

TL;DR: Ramipril significantly reduces the rates of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in a broad range of high-risk patients who are not known to have a low ejection fraction or heart failure.

Efficacy and safety of more intensive lowering of LDL cholesterol: a meta-analysis of data from 170,000 participants in 26 randomised trials.

TL;DR: Further reductions in LDL cholesterol safely produce definite further reductions in the incidence of heart attack, of revascularisation, and of ischaemic stroke, with each 1·0 mmol/L reduction reducing the annual rate of these major vascular events by just over a fifth.

Beta blockade during and after myocardial infarction: an overview of the randomized trials

TL;DR: The aim has been not only to review the 65-odd randomized beta blocker trials but also to demonstrate that when many randomized trials have all applied one general approach to treatment, it is often not appropriate to base inference on individual trial results.
