1. In cohort study in February Annals of the Rheumatic Disease, researchers show that, compared with matched controls, patients with psoriatic arthritis who did not receive prescriptions for disease–modifying anti-rheumatic drus had significantly higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events.
2. In a retrospective study in the February 24 issue of JAMA, researchers assessed risk for bleeding and adverse cardiovascular events associated with concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)(and anti-thrombotic agents in patient who were discharged after first myocardial infarction (MI ). Compared with no NSAID use, fatal and nonfatal adverse cardiovascular events were about 40% more common in patients using NSAIDs, use of NSAIDs with more than 1 antithrombotic drug was associated with twice as many major bleeding events and the addition of NSAIDs to double and triple antithrombotic regimen was associated with an approximately 4–fold higher risk for major bleeding events.
3. In a retrospective study on the website of the BMJ, researchers determining the rates of hospital readmissions and death during the first–year period after hospitalization for heart failure (HF ), acute MI or pneumonia in patients more than 65 years of age. They found that risks for hospital readmission and death remained significantly elevated for more than 3 months after hospitalization for all 3 groups.
4. In a study on the website of Neurology, researchers examined the association between giant cell arteritis and varicella–zoster virus (VZV ). Their finding suggest that at least some cases of giant cell arteritis may be might be due to infection with VZV.
5. In a study in February 26 New England Journal of Medicine, babies  at high risk for developing peanut allergy where randomized to avoidance or regular consumption of peanuts until the age of 5 year. Peanut consumption appears to be protective against development of allergy in children with negative skin test -prick tests at baseline and positive skin- prick tests at baseline but no reaction to oral peanut
6. In a study on the website of The Lancet, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe airflow obstruction were randomized to receive roflumilast or placebo in addition to their regular regimens of long–acting beta–agonists, inhaled corticosteroids, and long–acting muscarinic antagonists. The addition of roflumilast was associated with modest clinical benefit and  adverse effects.
7. Findings from a study on the website of the BMJ suggest that the  benefits of moderate consumption of alcohol are more limited than those found in previous studies.
8. In a study on the website of The BMJ, researchers used a primary care research database to determine optimal strategies for intensifying management of hypertension. The following factors were associated with excessive risk for adverse cardiovascular events and death: Using a systolic blood pressure of 150 mmHg as a threshold for intensifying treatment, time to treatment intensification greater than 1.4 months, time to follow-up greater than2.7 months after treatment intensification.
9. In a meta–analysis in the February 10 issue of JAMA, researchers evaluate the benefit of lowering blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes. They found that reducing systolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg was associated with a decrease of less than 30% in the relative risk for all–cause mortality, adverse cardiovascular events, albuminuria, retinopathy and stroke.
10. In a study in the February Annals of Neurology, researchers show that, compared with matched controls, patients with breast, colorectal, lung and pancreatic pancreatic cancers  are at significantly elevated risk for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during the first 3 months after diagnosis.
