TL;DR: This paper conducted genome-wide association analyses of over 250,000 participants of European and African ancestry from the Million Veteran Program using electronic health record-validated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis and quantitative symptom phenotypes.

TL;DR: In contrast to their peripheral tissues and coronary vasculature, the myocardium of patients with NIDDM expresses a competent insulin-response system with respect to glucose metabolism, suggesting that insulin resistance is mediated at the level of individual organs and that different mechanisms are involved in muscle and vascular tissue.

TL;DR: To determine the relationship between hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (statin) use and proximal muscle strength, cognition, and depression in older adults, a large number of older adults are surveyed.

TL;DR: Mortality after acute ischemic stroke, TIA, and carotid stenosis is substantial and rates and patterns of mortality differ according to patients’ discharge diagnoses.

TL;DR: The magnitude of risk posed by alcohol use for falls or fall injuries, functional disability, cognitive impairment, and all-cause mortality among older adults remains uncertain and Prospective studies are needed to better define the health-related effects of alcohol use in older populations.
