Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease in Women After Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Exposure of the heart to ionizing radiation during radiotherapy for breast cancer increases the subsequent rate of ischemic heart disease, and the increase is proportional to the mean dose to the heart, begins within a few years after exposure, and continues for at least 20 years.

Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals.
