NOACs outperform warfarin in renal protection in Chinese patients with nonvalvular AF

03 Dec 2021 by

A recent study led by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) shows that non–vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) may be associated with a significantly lower risk of decline in renal function in Chinese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) compared with warfarin.

Does statin affect performance of PSA screening?

02 Dec 2021 by

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening was associated with similar decrease in incidence of advanced prostate cancer (PCa) among statin users vs nonusers, but less detection of low-grade localized tumours in the former than the latter — indicating that statin does not compromise the benefits of PSA-based screening while also conferring the benefit of less overdiagnosis of low-risk tumours.
