TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; sum of years lived with disability [YLD] and years of life lost [YLL]) attributable to the independent effects of 67 risk factors and clusters of risk factors for 21 regions in 1990 and 2010.

Hepatic ferroptosis plays an important role as the trigger for initiating inflammation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: It is found that necrosis occurred prior to apoptosis at the onset of steatohepatitis in the choline-deficient, ethionine-supplemented (CDE) diet model, and hepatic ferroptosis plays an important role as the trigger for initiating inflammation in steato hepatitis.

Osteoporosis and fragility fractures

TL;DR: A systematic review seeking population-based studies with BMD data measured by dual-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) shows remarkable geographical differences and a time trend towards improvement of the BMD values in Asian and European populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity and stochastic growth regulation of biliary epithelial cells dictate dynamic epithelial tissue remodeling

TL;DR: This study has highlighted a unique mode of epithelial tissue dynamics, which depends not on a hierarchical system driven by fixated stem cells, but rather, on a stochastically maintained progenitor population with persistent proliferative activity.
