    Polygenic risk links to disease burden and hospital use in Taiwan

    In a preprint, top-decile integrated genetic risk was linked to 23.9% more hospital days, and elevated diabetes risk corresponded to 1.50 lost healthy life-years.In a preprint, top-decile integrated genetic risk was linked to 23.9% more hospital days, and elevated diabetes risk corresponded to 1.50 lost healthy life-years.

    Col4a2 mutation disrupts cerebral artery function in aged mice

    In 12-month-old Col4a2 mutant mice, cerebral pial arteries showed impaired myogenic tone driven by PKA-dependent remodeling of ryanodine receptor clusters.In 12-month-old Col4a2 mutant mice, cerebral pial arteries showed impaired myogenic tone driven by PKA-dependent remodeling of ryanodine receptor clusters.

    Hearing aids did not cut dementia conversion in older adults

    Over 24 months, dementia conversion was 3.09% with hearing aids compared with 4.74% with hearing care education, a non-significant difference.Over 24 months, dementia conversion was 3.09% with hearing aids compared with 4.74% with hearing care education, a non-significant difference.
