A tale of two arbs : essays on agency and financial institutions
… investigates two radically different types of "arbs": arbitrators and arbitrageurs. The first essay studies securities arbitration to shed light on a relevant form of financial regulation that was previously unexplored empirically: the self-regulation of financial markets. The second essay …

A systematic review of the blood pressure lowering efficacy of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for primary hypertension
… inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are two drug classes that, by different mechanisms, inhibit the renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system that regulates BP. As these drugs are widely prescribed for hypertension, it is essential to determine and compare their effects on BP, heart …

Individual And Population Responses Of The Caribbean Sponge, Aplysina Cauliformis, To Natural And Anthropogenic Stressors
… the sponge disease Aplysina Red Band Syndrome (ARBS) in A. cauliformis were investigated in situ. This study shothat ARBS infection decreased an individual's chance of survival on the reef. Dynamics of ARBS were investigated using spatial pattern analysis of A. cauliformis populations and …

Achievement of secondary prevention goals 6 to 9 months after Acute Coronary Syndrome : a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis
… [ACEIs] or angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) and smoking cessation in patients after acute coronary syndromes. At present, little is known about adherence to medication and smoking behaviour after discharge in South Africa. This information is essential to optimising both in-patient …

Effect of Composting on the Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Resistance Genes in Cattle Manure
… selects for antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and can stimulate the horizontal transfer of their associated antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), it is important to examine livestock operations as a reservoir of resistance. Correspondingly, there is growing interest in identifying how …

ABSENCE OF V1AR ALTERS CARDIAC FUNCTION AT BASELINE AND FOLLOWING ACUTE CARDIAC INJURY
… signaling (e.g. angiotensin receptor blockers/ARBs or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/ACEi’s) Additionally, clinical studies have demonstrated that drugs blocking these neurohormones from properly signaling have decreased hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality in these HF patients; …

Long Term Therapy of Chronic Heart Failure
… key drug classes such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, β-blockers, MRAs, diuretics, and SGLT2 inhibitors, along with supporting therapies like ivabradine and digoxin. It also examines emerging treatments such as telemedicine, precision medicine, and gene therapy and discusses ongoing challenges …

A systematic review of outcomes associated with withholding or continuing angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) prior to noncardiac surgery
… that perioperative continuation of ACE-I/ARBs is associated with an increased incidence of intra-operative hypotension. A large randomized control trial is necessary to determine the appropriate perioperative management of ACE-I and ARBs.

Prevention of cancer therapy related cardiotoxicity: A Tayside Pharmaco-Epidemiology study (PROTECT-TAYSIDE study)
… drugs such as ACE inhibitors, Beta blockers and ARBs as well as cholesterol controlling drugs such as statins may be able to reverse the cardiac damage caused by cancer therapy drugs such as anthracyclines how ever, the results from the overall PROTECT-TAYSIDE study were in disagreement with the …

Impact Of Time-Varying And Time-Invariant Measures Of Adherence To Secondary Prevention Therapies Post-Acute Myocardial Infarction: An Application Of Marginal Structural Models (MSMS)
… the effect of adherence to β-blockers and ACEI/ARBs on subsequent cardiovascular events were not statistically significant. The stabilized weights used in estimation of the MSMs did not have optimum variability and the results from the MSMs were not statistically significant. Further studies are …

Relationship Between Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Cancer: A Nested Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study
<p> Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly prescribed drugs that have proven benefits among patients with cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. Recently a concern of modest increase in the risk of solid cancers among ARB users was reported. This became controversial, as many experts …
