TL;DR: The results support the threshold effect hypothesis, which posits the existence of a threshold of income inequality beyond which adverse impacts on health begin to emerge, and need to be interpreted with caution given the heterogeneity between studies.

TL;DR: Homology analysis revealed an unexpected relationship between ADF and dithiol‐reducing enzyme, thioredoxin, involved in many important biological reactions such as the conversion of ribon nucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides, or the stabilization of glucocorticoid receptors.

TL;DR: Japan needs to tackle major health challenges that are emanating from a rapidly ageing population, causes that are not amenable to health technologies, and the effects of increasing social disparities to sustain the improvement in population health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile the best available evidence about population health in Japan to investigate what has made the Japanese people healthy in the past 50 years and find that the Japanese population achieved longevity in a fairly short time through a rapid reduction in mortality rates for communicable diseases from the 1950s to the early 1960s, followed by a large reduction in stroke mortality rates.

TL;DR: Highly purified beta-TCP appears to be advantageous relative to HA for surgical intervention in bone tumors consequent to the nature of remodeling and superior osteoconductivity.
