TL;DR: The normal range of bleeding scores showed that the normal range is 0–3 for adult males, 0–5 for adult females and 0–2 in children for both males and females, which can now be used to objectively assess bleeding symptoms as normal or abnormal in future studies.

TL;DR: This translational genomic study identifies the first genetic risk locus associated with calcification of the abdominal aorta and describes a previously unknown role for HDAC9 in the development of vascular calcification, showing that HDAC 9 promotes an osteogenic vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype, enhancing calcification and reducing contractility.

TL;DR: It was shown that pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knees increased the propensity to trip on an obstacle (the greater the pain the greater the propensity for trip and fall) and underscores the importance of treating pain associatedwith osteoartritis.

TL;DR: A comprehensive, ontology‐backed, Web‐based questionnaire to collect bleeding histories from 500 healthy adults provided a contemporaneous and comprehensive description of bleeding symptoms in a diverse group of healthy individuals.

TL;DR: Microvolt TWA predicts arrhythmia-free survival among patients with LV dysfunction, but the event rate in the TWA-negative group suggests that TWA may not be capable of identifying a sufficiently low-risk subset in this population to obviate the need for ICD implantation.
