TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that fuel taxes serve a very important role for the environment and that we risk a backlash of increased emissions if they are abolished, and that they are the single most powerful climate policy instrument implemented to date.

TL;DR: In tests with freshwater algae, predicted and determined the toxicity of multiple mixtures of 18 different s-triazines and the toxicity parameter was the inhibition of reproduction of Scenedesmus vacuolatus.

TL;DR: The value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits is demonstrated, with no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women.
Abstract: Given the anthropometric differences between men and women and previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) and took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 individuals) in a total of 94 studies. Seven loci displayed significant sex-difference (FDR<5%), including four previously established (near GRB14/COBLL1, LYPLAL1/SLC30A10, VEGFA, ADAMTS9) and three novel anthropometric trait loci (near MAP3K1, HSD17B4, PPARG), all of which were genome-wide significant in women (P<5×10(-8)), but not in men. Sex-differences were apparent only for waist phenotypes, not for height, weight, BMI, or hip circumference. Moreover, we found no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women. The PPARG locus is of specific interest due to its role in diabetes genetics and therapy. Our results demonstrate the value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits.

TL;DR: Amyloid biomarkers will be of special value in the clinic to identify patients with brain amyloid deposition at risk for progression to AD dementia, to enable initiation of treatment before neurodegeneration is too severe, and to monitor drug effects on Aβ metabolism or pathology to guide dosage.

TL;DR: It is concluded that "food addiction" is a misnomer because of the ambiguous connotation of a substance-related phenomenon, and is proposed the term "eating addiction" to underscore the behavioral addiction to eating.
