Exenatide use and incidence of pancreatic and thyroid cancer: A retrospective cohort study
Abstract A retrospective cohort study, supplemented with a nested case‐control study, was performed using two administrative databases from commercial health plans in the United States to compare the incidence of pancreatic and thyroid cancer among users of exenatide versus other antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated exenatide or OADs between 1 June 2005 and 30 June 2015 were included.

Pancreatic and thyroid cancers were identified using chart‐validated algorithms in the cohort study.

Novel metabolic biomarkers of cardiovascular disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for one in every six deaths in US individuals. Great advances have been made in identifying important risk factors for CHD, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and hypercholesterolaemia, which have led to major developments in therapy. In particular, statins represent one of the greatest successes in the prevention of CHD.

A randomized controlled trial of vitamin E and selenium on rate of decline in lung function
This is the first randomized trial of selenium and/or vitamin E intervention that studies the rate of decline in pulmonary function as the endpoint. This study is important because it contributes new information about whether interventions that presumably affect the antioxidant/oxidant balance in lung tissue can ameliorate or attenuate a functional outcome reflecting lung health.
