Journal ArticleDOI
Mendel’s laws, Mendelian randomization and causal inference in observational data: substantive and nomenclatural issues
TL;DR: This work responds to criticisms of Mendelian randomization by Mukamal, Stampfer and Rimm, demonstrating that their strictures with respect to population stratification, confounding, weak instrument bias, pleiotropy and confounding have been addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of temperature rises in the femtosecond laser pulsed three-dimensional atom probe
TL;DR: Gault et al. as mentioned in this paper show that the field evaporation enhancement is predominantly a thermal heating effect, which is consistent with temperature rises obtained using longer laser pulses in a range of earlier work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leg length and risk of cancer in the Boyd Orr cohort
TL;DR: The association between prepubertal leg length and mortality from cancer in the Boyd Orr cohort and Cox's proportional hazards models were examined in relation to internally derived z scores for childhood leg length.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data suggest that early socioeconomic disadvantage influences later blood pressure through an effect on blood pressure in early life, which tracks into adulthood, and in part through a effect on BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrauterine Growth Retardation, Insulin Resistance, and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Children: Response to Nobili et al.
TL;DR: Results of a case-control study that demonstrated an association between intrauterine growth retardation and pediatric nonalcoholic streatohepatitis and NAFLD with hospital control subjects are reported.
