smartphone addictionBackground: The internet and smartphones have a strong potential for addiction. Excessive use of these technologies can have adverse effects on psychological well-being of the users. Objectives: The objective of the study is to find out the effects of internet addiction (IA) ...
In spite of the above-described findings, it should be empha- sized that several investigators failed to demonstrate a close association of genes related to dopamine and serotonin metab- olism with ADHD (15,16). It is, however, well known that ADHD is a significant risk factor for drug ...
There was insufficient evidence to suggest that genetically predicted blood pressure, body mass index, and glycemic traits were associated with advanced AMD. Conclusions and Relevance This study provides genetic evidence that increased alcohol intake may be a causal risk factor for GA. As there are ...
Directed acyclic graph of the effect of smoking on PD using genetic variants (SNPs) as proxies. (Adapted from Lawlor et al.22). An SNP (S) is associated with the exposure, for example, smoking (E), and therefore the SNP (S) can be used as an instrument to determine the effect of ...

Although associated with a lower level of internet-use, poor academic achievement was found to be a significant risk factor for AIA in our study. It could be surmised that lower internet use among students with poor academic achievement was due to their learning disabilities, although few studies...
However, sex, age and body mass index were not associated factor for MDR-TB. Conclusions: In AFRTH, lower prevalence of MDR-TB was identified in armed force and civilian patients that were significantly associated with category of attendants, HIV infection and TB contact history. Considering ...
we did not expect a single gene or single locus to be associated with the clinical phenotype nor perfect co-segregation pattern of the rare, non-reference allele with ADHD in subsequent segregation analyses. A main contributing factor to the observed patterns may be assortative mating, which is ...
Measured risk factor and treatment variables, while important, explain neither why the decline began when it did nor many of the similarities and differences between countries or between men and women Substantial fluctuations in CVDs, and in alcohol intake, in former communist countries of Europe hav...
This scoring system assigns one point to each negative prognostic factor, such as over 60 years old, increased LDH levels, stage-III/IV Ann Arbor disease, ≥ 2 ECOG performance status, and more than one site with extranodal involvement. The findings presented in this study demonstrate that the...
