UnknownFine mapping of chromosome 6q23-25 region in familial lung cancer families reveals RGS17 as a likely candidate gene.

Purpose

We have previously mapped a major susceptibility locus influencing familial lung cancer risk to chromosome 6q23-25. However, the causal gene at this locus remains undetermined. In this study, we further refined this locus to identify a single candidate gene, by fine mapping using mic...

UnknownPragmatic evaluation of events and benefits of lipid lowering in older adults (PREVENTABLE): Trial design and rationale.
Whether initiation of statins could increase survival free of dementia and disability in adults aged ≥75 years is unknown. PREVENTABLE, a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized pragmatic clinical trial, will compare high-intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 40 mg) with placebo in 20,000 commu...

UnknownCytokine gene polymorphisms as risk and severity factors for juvenile dermatomyositis.

Objective

To study tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) cytokine polymorphisms as possible risk and protective factors, define their relative importance, and examine these as severity factors in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (DM).

Methods

TNFalpha a...

UnknownHigher dose corticosteroids in hospitalised COVID-19 patients requiring ventilatory support (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial.

Background

Low dose corticosteroids (e.g., 6 mg dexamethasone) have been shown to reduce mortality for hypoxic COVID-19 patients. We have previously reported that higher dose corticosteroids cause harm in patients with clinical hypoxia but not receiving ventilatory support (the combination o...

UnknownEmpagliflozin in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial.

Background

Empagliflozin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 on the basis of its anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and haemodynamic effects. The RECOVERY trial aimed to assess its safety and efficacy in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19.

Methods

In the randomised, cont...

UnknownMeasurement of circulating viral antigens post-SARS-CoV-2 infection in a multicohort study.

Objectives

To determine the proportion of individuals with detectable antigen in plasma or serum after SARS-CoV-2 infection and the association of antigen detection with postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) symptoms.

Methods

Plasma and serum samples were collected from adults partici...

UnknownSex Differences in Long COVID.

Importance

A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for long COVID, especially within different subgroups, is uncertain.

Objective

To...

UnknownDifferentiation of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Postacute Sequelae by Standard Clinical Laboratory Measurements in the RECOVER Cohort.

Background

There are currently no validated clinical biomarkers of postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Objective

To investigate clinical laboratory markers of SARS-CoV-2 and PASC.

Design

Propensity score-weighted linear regression models were fitted to evaluate d...

UnknownElliptic anisotropy measurement of the f<sub>0</sub>(980) hadron in proton-lead collisions and evidence for its quark-antiquark composition.
Despite the f0(980) hadron having been discovered half a century ago, the question about its quark content has not been settled: it might be an ordinary quark-antiquark ( qq¯ ) meson, a tetraquark ( qq¯qq¯ ) exotic state, a kaon-antikaon ( KK¯ ) molecule, or a quark-antiquark-gluon ( qq¯g...
