Mortality risk and uncontrolled hypertension: is poor blood pressure control to blame?
This study investigated whether there is an increased risk of death in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. They found that patients with uncontrolled hypertension have an increased risk of mortality overall. Patients with controlled hypertension has a risk similar to those without hypertension.

Anti-hypertensives and lipid-lowering drugs to manage hypertension: results from long-term follow-up
This study investigated the long-term effects of blood pressure-lowering treatment (BP-LT) and lipid-lowering treatment (L-LT) in the management of hypertension. They found that BP-LT and L-LT improved survival rates in patients with hypertension.

Comparing transplant options for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This study aimed to compare unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplant and unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplant in adult and pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This study concluded that unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplants could be used more often as a treatment option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

A personalized refresher about Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which blood pressure at rest is higher than the body's needs. It is defined as a systolic blood pressure above 140, and a diastolic blood pressure above 90. If only one of these values is elevated, it is referred to as isolated systolic or isolated diastolic hypertension. If blood pressure is slightly elevated, but not to a degree that meets the criteria, it is referred to as pre-hypertension. This condition is still harmful and still requires treatment.
