Statins in survivors of traumatic brain injury: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Background: Several in-vitro and animal studies suggest that statins may have beneficial effects on clinical outcomes of traumatic brain injury (TBI), however, clinical data are scarce.

Objectives: To examine the association of statin use with TBI clinical outcomes among patients with TBI.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of Tricare beneficiaries who had a TBI diagnosis, as defined by the Barbell injury diagnosis matrix.

Translational manipulation under anesthesia for patients with frozen shoulder: a case series study with five-year health care utilization and post-manipulative arthroscopic findings.

Study Design: Case series study.

Objectives: Although there have been no reported complications from translational manipulation under anesthesia (tMUA) for individuals with adhesive capsulitis (AC) there are no cases reporting surgical findings post tMUA. Also, there are no studies evaluating health care utilization following tMUA.

Statins for primary prevention in physically active individuals: Do the risks outweigh the benefits?

Objectives: There are little data on the potential benefits and adverse events of statins among physically fit individuals. Our objective was to examine the associations of statin use with beneficial cardiovascular outcomes and adverse events in active duty military (a surrogate for high level of physical fitness).

Design: This is a retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study of healthy active duty military (fiscal years [FY] 2002-2011).
