Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are at a higher risk of sustaining hip fractures, a recent study has found.
Daily vitamin D supplementation with either 2,000 or 800 IU dose results in lower mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) over 2 years to a “small and similar extent,” but 2,000 IU reduces mean SBP variability more significantly than 800 IU, results of a recent study have shown.
Longer predialysis use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARB) results in reduced postdialysis mortality, reveals a study.
Mobile phone-based interventions (MPIs) may be a valuable supplementary component of management strategies for chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), reports a systematic review and meta-analysis presented at the Digital 2020 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

In cancer survivors who received haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) while they were young, distress, fatigue, and physical functioning are strong correlates of social function, a new study has found.
Subthreshold micropulse laser and threshold conventional laser are comparably effective for improving visual acuity in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), a recent study has found.
Older patients (aged ≥65 years) with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may derive greater survival benefit with an atezolizumab + bevacizumab combination compared with sorafenib, according to results of a subgroup analysis of the IMbrave150 trial presented at ESMO GI 2020.

The population-mean heart-rate–corrected QT interval (QTc) in a cohort of patients with eating disorders is normal and varies by subtype, according to a study. Marked QTc prolongation only occurs in the presence of external factors, indicating that QTc prolongation is not intrinsic to eating disorders.
