Recommendations for blood pressure measurement in humans and experimental animals: part 1: blood pressure measurement in humans: a statement for professionals from the Subcommittee of Professional…
TLDR
It is increasingly recognized that office measurements correlate poorly with blood pressure measured in other settings, and that they can be supplemented by self-measured readings taken with validated devices at home, which gives a better prediction of risk than office measurements and is useful for diagnosing white-coat hypertension.

Adiponectin regulates albuminuria and podocyte function in mice.
TLDR
It is suggested that adiponectin is a key regulator of albuminuria, likely acting through the AMPK pathway to modulate oxidant stress in podocytes.

Race/ethnic issues in obesity and obesity-related comorbidities.
TLDR
There is a disproportionate rise in the prevalence of obesity among African-Americans and Hispanic/Mexican Americans and a race disparity in disease expression, indicating that there are genetic/molecular factors that are operational as well.

Birth weight and risk of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review.
TLDR
In most populations studied, birth weight was inversely related to type 2 diabetes risk, and the shape of the birth weight-type 2 diabetes association was strongly graded, particularly at birth weights of 3 kg or less.

Summary of the Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents.
TLDR
The Fourth Report has added a method for staging the severity of hypertension by providing the range of blood pressure elevation for stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension.

The sixth report of the Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure.
TLDR
In older persons, diuretics are preferred and long-acting dihydropyridine calcium antagonists may be considered and specific therapy for patients with LVH, coronary artery disease, and heart failure are outlined.
