Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Responses to Insertion of the Laryngeal Mask
TL;DR: It is concluded that insertion of the laryngeal mask airway is accompanied by smaller cardiovascular responses than those after laryngoscopy and intubation and that its use may be indicated in those patients in whom a marked pressor response would be deleterious.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There was strong evidence that genetic liability to endometriosis was associated with an increased risk of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and there was little evidence for an association with type 2 diabetes, parity, or circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and sex hormone binding globulin with ovarian cancer or its subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the composition of small features in atom probe: bcc Cu-rich precipitates in an Fe-rich matrix
TL;DR: It is shown definitively that there is a non-zero underlying level of Fe within precipitates formed upon thermal ageing, which is augmented and masked by trajectory overlaps, and the concentration of Fe in the precipitate phase is shown to be a function of ageing temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between a High-Risk Autism Locus on 5p14 and Social Communication Spectrum Phenotypes in the General Population
Beate St Pourcain,Kai Wang,Joseph T. Glessner,Jean Golding,Colin D Steer,Susan M. Ring,David Skuse,Struan F.A. Grant,Hakon Hakonarson,George Davey Smith +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that common variation at 5p14.1 is associated with social communication spectrum phenotypes in the general population and support the role of rs4307059 as a quantitative trait locus for autism spectrum disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of timing of menarche with depressive symptoms and depression in adolescence: Mendelian randomisation study.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a causal effect of age at menarche on depressive symptoms at age 14, and a genetic risk score to indicate earlier timing of menarches is found to be associated with higher levels of depressive Symptoms at 14 years.
