The effect of smoking on mortality risk in RA patients - a 36-year follow-up
This study examined the effect of smoking habits on mortality rates in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over 36 years. The authors concluded that women who quit smoking entirely within 4 years of diagnosis of RA had reduced mortality rates. RA patients who smoked more and for longer were at a significantly higher risk of mortality than individuals without RA.

The impact of beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers on BC survival
This study investigated whether beta blockers (BB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) have a beneficial effect on breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS; the time between diagnosis and death from BC). The use of BB was found to be associated with better BCSS survival.

Breast density and the risk of contralateral breast cancer
This study investigated whether a high proportion of dense breast tissue is associated with an increased risk of developing contralateral breast cancer (CBC, cancer in the other breast). This study determined that those with dense breasts at the time of original diagnosis were significantly more likely to develop CBC than those without.
