Blood group, bleeding time & clotting time are clinically useful tests, extensively used during blood transfusion, Platelet disorders & variety of forms of treatment in hospitals. Present study was conducted to assess the blood group distribution & its relationship with bleeding & clotting time in ...
We carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South Asian ancestry. We find genetic variants at 12 new loci to be associated with blood pressure (P = 3.9 × 10−11 to ...
BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have discovered that osteoporosis may impair cognitive function, providing a new approach for the clinical treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, according to the Nanjing University. The discovery, made by a research team ...
One of the most robust risk factors for developing a mood disorder is having a parent with a mood disorder. Unfortunately, mechanisms explaining the transmission of mood disorders from one generation to the next remain largely elusive. Since timely inter
Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) may occur with acute exposure to high altitude; however, the CBF of the brain parenchyma has not been studied to date. In this study, identical magnetic resonance scans using arterial spin labeling (ASL) were performed to study the haemodynamic changes at ...

Linear regressions were used to examine the associations of each CpG site with AUD in the discovery and first replication cohort. DNA methylation beta values were regressed on AUD status adjusting for age, sex, race, and cell type composition of blood. Cell type composition was derived from DNA...
(HDL-C) and decreasing the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG)1. However, there is individual variation in the response of blood lipids to PA, and twin studies suggest that some of this variation may be due to genetic differences2. The genes ...
