Infiltration of the abdominal wall with local anaesthetic after total abdominal hysterectomy has no opioid-sparing effect

TL;DR: It is concluded that infiltration of the deep and superficial layers of the wound of a Pfannenstiel incision with local anaesthetic solution did not confer additional analgesia in patients undergoing major gynaecological surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex-dimorphic genetic effects and novel loci for fasting glucose and insulin variability

Vasiliki Lagou, +254 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess sex-dimorphic (73,089/50,404 women and 67,506/47,806 men) and sex-combined (151,188/105,056 individuals) fasting glucose/fasting insulin genetic effects via genome-wide association study meta-analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating genomics with biomarkers and therapeutic targets to invigorate cardiovascular drug development.

TL;DR: This Review compares and contrast the use of Mendelian randomization to evaluate potential drug targets versus quantitative traits and explains how genetic epidemiological studies can be used to assess the aetiological roles of biomarkers in disease and to prioritize drug targets, including designing their evaluation in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for reconstructed (001) tungsten obtained by field-ion microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the atomic structure of clean {001}W was reconstructed by field-ion microscopy, with a reconstruction model with periodic displacements of atoms having vertical components.
