TL;DR: In this paper, the role of ACKR4 in the development of heart failure in patients with post-myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated, and the authors found that the expression of ACR4 was upregulated in the border/infarct area and predominantly expressed in cardiac fibroblasts.

TL;DR: An interval fuzzy two-stage chance-constrained linear programming (IFTCP) method is developed for planning petroleum waste management systems that improves upon the existing optimization methods by allowing uncertainties presented in terms of intervals, fuzzy sets, and probability distributions to be effectively incorporated within the optimization framework.

TL;DR: A special group of Tregs that potentially inhibit abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression are identified and functionally characterized and may provide a promising and novel approach for the prevention of AAA.

TL;DR: The IFTSQP method can support the analysis of policy scenarios that are associated with economic penalties when the promised targets are violated and can help provide bases for identifying desired water-allocation plans with a maximized system benefit and a minimized constraint-violation risk.

TL;DR: In this article, a Mendelian randomization analysis showed clear causality between insomnia and PUD; 1 SD increased insomnia incident was related to a 19% higher risk of peptic ulcer disease (P = 6.69 × 10-16; OR, 1.19 (95% CI 1.14-1.24).
