Pentoxifylline does not decrease short-term mortality but does reduce complications in patients with advanced cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pentoxifylline, an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, is given to patients with liver diseases, but its effects in patients with advanced cirrhosis are unknown. We performed a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of its effects in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS A total of 335 patients with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class C) were assigned to groups given ei...
متن کاملDoes PSA screening reduce prostate cancer mortality?
question whether the recent decline in age-standardized prostate cancer mortality rates in Quebec could be attributed to screening with the serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. By comparing the change in the incidence rate of prostate cancer between 1989 and 1993 with the change in the prostate cancer mortality rate between 1995 and 1999 in 15 birth cohorts, and in 15 regions of Quebec, ...
متن کاملDoes Being Overweight Really Reduce Mortality?
There is indisputable evidence from epidemiologic and clinical studies that being overweight and obese elevates the risk of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and cancer (1).

A recent paper claims that lower salt intake is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality despite lower blood pressure. The study is flawed and cannot refute the evidence for the benefits of salt reduction. The WHO recommends salt reduction as cruci...
متن کاملExperimentally-Induced Metabolic Acidosis Does not Alter Aortic Fatty Streak Formation in High-Cholesterol Fed Rabbits
Objective(s)Cardiovascular disease causes a major clinical problem in patients with end stage renal disease. Since metabolic acidosis is very common in patients with end stage renal disease, we aimed to investigate the effect of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis on serum lipid profile and aortic fatty streak (FS) formation in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits.Materials and Methods...
