Article Synopsis
- * The strategies simulated include usual care, intensive care targeting lower blood pressure, and team-based care, indicating varying levels of effectiveness in reducing CVD events.
- * While intensive care could prevent up to 138,100 cardiovascular events annually, it is also associated with a significant increase in serious treatment-related adverse events, raising concerns about safety.

Article Synopsis
- The REDUCE-IT USA trial found that icosapent ethyl (IPE) significantly reduced cardiovascular events by 31% and 36% over approximately 4.9 years.
- An analysis of the cost-effectiveness of IPE compared to standard care (SC) showed that IPE was less expensive and provided better health outcomes, particularly at a daily cost of $4.59.
- Overall, IPE is recommended for U.S. patients similar to those in the trial, as it remains cost-effective even at a higher daily cost of $11.48.

Osteoporosis causes fragile bone, and bone microstructural quality is a critical determinant of bone strength and fracture risk. This study pursues technical validation of novel CT-based methods for assessment of peripheral bone microstructure together with a human pilot study examining relationships between bone microstructure and vertebral fractures in smokers. To examine the accuracy and reproducibility of the methods, repeat ultra-high-resolution (UHR) CT and micro-CT scans of cadaveric ankle specimens were acquired.
