Abstract 105: Obesity Paradox in Patients with Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke: Increased Short-Term Survival with Decreased Longevity Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Obese patients present with non-hemorrhagic stroke at a younger age. Despite short term improved outcomes, obesity is not associated with improved overall longevity.

Abstract 101: Gender Has Differential Effects on Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Men with non-hemorrhagic stroke were more likely to have dyslipidemia and history of coronary artery disease. This, however, did not translate into increased mortality in younger men.Gender appears to have a differential effect on non-hemorrhagic stroke outcomes which warrants future investigation.

Abstract 63: The Smoking Paradox in Patients Hospitalized with Coronary Artery Disease: Findings from Get With The Guidelines - CAD Poster Session I
Conclusion: Smoking continues to be a major risk factor for presenting with CAD at a much younger age and with fewer risk factors. It is likely that the continued modest association with lower in-hospital mortality in smokers in this analysis after adjustment reflects residual or unmeasured confounding. This apparent smoker’s paradox in CAD should not be interpreted as a benefit of cigarette smoking.

Glycemic Control for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Our Evolving Faith in the Face of Evidence Original Articles
Conclusions— Discordance exists between the research evidence and academic and clinical policy statements about the value of tight glycemic control to reduce micro- and macrovascular complications. This discordance may distort priorities in the research and practice agendas designed to improve the lives of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
