Survival following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes
This study investigated long-term survival in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The study concluded that patients with type 1 diabetes had more than double the long-term risk of death after CABG compared with patients without diabetes. The long-term risk of death in patients with type 2 diabetes was only slightly increased.

Predicting adverse events with platelet and neutrophil number
The aim of this study was to determine whether the proportion of platelets and neutrophils can be used to predict long-term negative outcomes in patients who have had a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, a procedure done to improve blood flow and prevent heart attacks).

Factors associated with an active social life after stroke
This study aimed to identify factors which would predict whether a stroke patient is more likely to partake in social activities long term. They concluded that patients who can drive, can walk more than a few hundred feet and have a wide social network are more likely to partake in social activities long term.

Comparing chiglitazar and sitagliptin effectiveness on glucose variations, insulin resistance and inflammation levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This study compared the effectiveness of chiglitazar (Bilessglu) and sitagliptin (Januvia) on glycemic (blood glucose) variations, insulin resistance, and inflammation levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed that chiglitazar treatment was more effective at improving insulin resistance and inflammation compared with sitagliptin in these patients.
