TL;DR: The authors perform genome-wide gene-by-sleep interaction analysis and find 49 previously unreported lipid loci when considering short or long total sleep time, contributing to the understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in sleep-associated adverse lipid profiles.

TL;DR: Higher levels of TSH within the reference range may decrease the risk of stroke, highlighting the need for further research focusing on the clinical consequences associated with differences within thereference range of thyroid function.

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses of 110,182 patients who have had a stroke (five ancestries, 33% non-European) and 1,503,898 control individuals, identify association signals for stroke and its subtypes at 89 (61 new) independent loci: 60 in primary inverse-variance-weighted analyses and 29 in secondary meta-regression and multitrait analyses.

TL;DR: A 3-D segmentation framework for fully automatic kidney parenchyma volumetry that uses Bayesian concepts for probability map generation and is able to recognize and exclude parenchymal cysts from the paren chymal volume.

TL;DR: This work develops a fully automatic three-step 3D segmentation approach based upon a modified region growing approach and a further threshold technique that is modularized and can be applied for normal and fat accumulated liver tissue properties.
