TL;DR: The first trans-ancestry association study of IBD is reported, with genome-wide or Immunochip genotype data from an extended cohort of 86,640 European individuals and immunochip data from 9,846 individuals of East Asian, Indian or Iranian descent, implicate 38 loci in IBD risk for the first time.
Abstract: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here we report the first trans-ancestry association study of IBD, with genome-wide or Immunochip genotype data from an extended cohort of 86,640 European individuals and Immunochip data from 9,846 individuals of East Asian, Indian or Iranian descent. We implicate 38 loci in IBD risk for the first time. For the majority of the IBD risk loci, the direction and magnitude of effect are consistent in European and non-European cohorts. Nevertheless, we observe genetic heterogeneity between divergent populations at several established risk loci driven by differences in allele frequency (NOD2) or effect size (TNFSF15 and ATG16L1) or a combination of these factors (IL23R and IRGM). Our results provide biological insights into the pathogenesis of IBD and demonstrate the usefulness of trans-ancestry association studies for mapping loci associated with complex diseases and understanding genetic architecture across diverse populations.

TL;DR: The efficacy of percutaneous closure of the LAA with this device was non-inferior to that of warfarin therapy and there was a higher rate of adverse safety events in the intervention group than in the control group, which were mainly a result of periprocedural complications.

TL;DR: The strength of the evidence that untreated subclinical thyroid disease is associated with clinical symptoms and adverse clinical outcomes was assessed and recommendations for clinical practice developed and insufficient evidence to support population-based screening was found.
Abstract: ContextPatients with serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels outside
the reference range and levels of free thyroxine (FT4) and triiodothyronine
(T3) within the reference range are common in clinical practice.
The necessity for further evaluation, possible treatment, and the urgency
of treatment have not been clearly established.ObjectivesTo define subclinical thyroid disease, review its epidemiology, recommend
an appropriate evaluation, explore the risks and benefits of treatment and
consequences of nontreatment, and determine whether population-based screening
is warranted.Data SourcesMEDLINE, EMBASE, Biosis, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
National Guideline Clearing House, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
and Controlled Trials Register, and several National Health Services (UK)
databases were searched for articles on subclinical thyroid disease published
between 1995 and 2002. Articles published before 1995 were recommended by
expert consultants.Study Selection and Data ExtractionA total of 195 English-language or translated papers were reviewed.
Editorials, individual case studies, studies enrolling fewer than 10 patients,
and nonsystematic reviews were excluded. Information related to authorship,
year of publication, number of subjects, study design, and results were extracted
and formed the basis for an evidence report, consisting of tables and summaries
of each subject area.Data SynthesisThe strength of the evidence that untreated subclinical thyroid disease
is associated with clinical symptoms and adverse clinical outcomes was assessed
and recommendations for clinical practice developed. Data relating the progression
of subclinical to overt hypothyroidism were rated as good, but data relating
treatment to prevention of progression were inadequate to determine a treatment
benefit. Data relating a serum TSH level higher than 10 mIU/L to elevations
in serum cholesterol were rated as fair but data relating to benefits of treatment
were rated as insufficient. All other associations of symptoms and benefit
of treatment were rated as insufficient or absent. Data relating a serum TSH
concentration lower than 0.1 mIU/L to the presence of atrial fibrillation
and progression to overt hyperthyroidism were rated as good, but no data supported
treatment to prevent these outcomes. Data relating restoration of the TSH
level to within the reference range with improvements in bone mineral density
were rated as fair. Data addressing all other associations of subclinical
hyperthyroid disease and adverse clinical outcomes or treatment benefits were
rated as insufficient or absent. Subclinical hypothyroid disease in pregnancy
is a special case and aggressive case finding and treatment in pregnant women
can be justified.ConclusionsData supporting associations of subclinical thyroid disease with symptoms
or adverse clinical outcomes or benefits of treatment are few. The consequences
of subclinical thyroid disease (serum TSH 0.1-0.45 mIU/L or 4.5-10.0 mIU/L)
are minimal and we recommend against routine treatment of patients with TSH
levels in these ranges. There is insufficient evidence to support population-based
screening. Aggressive case finding is appropriate in pregnant women, women
older than 60 years, and others at high risk for thyroid dysfunction.

TL;DR: This is the first of two articles describing a symposium on insulin action, insulin resistance, inflammation, and Atherosclerosis in Niagara Falls, New York, 20–21 September 2002, which will cover topics related to atherosclerosis pathobiology and the cell biology of insulin resistance.
Abstract: This Is the second of two articles describing a symposium on the relationship between inflammation and insulin resistance that was held in Niagra Falls, NY, 20–21 September 2002.
Antonio Ceriello (Udine, Italy) discussed the role of glucose intake and postprandial hyperglycemia in the development of diabetes complications, as well as the relationship of hyperglycemia to oxidative stress. The DECODE (Diabetes Epidemiology: Collaborative analysis Of Diagnostic criteria in Europe) study showed high 2-h postload glucose to be associated with increased mortality independent of fasting glucose (1), and the Pacific and Indian Ocean Study showed isolated 2-h hyperglycemia to double the risk of mortality (2). The Funagata Diabetes Study showed that impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) but not impaired fasting glucose was a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) (3). There is evidence that lowering postprandial glucose improves outcome. Post hoc analysis of the STOP-type 2 diabetes study showed that myocardial infarction and hypertension decrease with use of the prandial glucose-lowering agent acarbose (4). In the Kumamoto study, postprandial hyperglycemia strongly predicted retinopathy and nephropathy (5).
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a potential mediator of the effect of prandial glycemia, with altered vasodilation and procoagulant abnormalities. ED can be induced by hyperglycemia following a 75-g oral glucose load in persons with normal or IGT or with diabetes, with reduction of flow-mediated brachial artery dilation proportional to the degree of hyperglycemia (6). In a study of 225 persons with hypertension followed for 32 months, forearm ED was a marker of future CVD events (7), with a 4.5-year follow-up of 281 persons showing both ED and measures of oxidative stress to predict CVD events (8). Acute hyperglycemia may suppress vasodilation, which may involve oxidant stress, as it is reversed with antioxidant or l-arginine treatment (9).
