Global and regional effects of potentially modifiable risk factors associated with acute stroke in 32 countries (INTERSTROKE): a case-control study

TL;DR: The importance of potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in different regions of the world, and in key populations and primary pathological subtypes of stroke, was quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inter- and intra-combinatorial regulation by transcription factors and microRNAs

TL;DR: Genes are more likely to be co-regulated by pairs of TFs or pairs of miRNAs than by Pair of TF-miRNA pairs, which suggests an effective mechanism to suppress functionally related proteins.

Inter- and Intra-Combinatorial Regulation by Transcriptions Factors and MicroRNAs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the nature and scope of coordination among regulators from the transcriptional and miRNA regulatory layers in the human genome, based on genome wide statistical assessment of regulatory associations ("interactions") among the sets of predicted targets of miRNAs and sets of putative targets of transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joint association of urinary sodium and potassium excretion with cardiovascular events and mortality: prospective cohort study.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the simultaneous target of low sodium intake (<2 g/day) with high potassium intake (>3.5 g/ day) is extremely uncommon, and combined moderate sodium intake (3-5 g / day) withhigh potassium intake is associated with the lowest risk of mortality and cardiovascular events.
