Abstract Uric acid has promoted renal fibrosis and inflammation in experimental studies, but some studies have shown nephroprotective effects due to alleviated oxidative stress. We studied the influence of experimental hyperuricaemia in surgically 5/6 nephrectomized rats. Three weeks after subtotal nephrectomy or sham operation, the rats were allocated

Genetic inference of orchid population dynamics on different‐aged lava flows in Costa Rica
Volcán Arenal lava flows represent natural, non‐anthropogenic habitat disturbance that permit precise knowledge of when these sites became available for colonization. By examining the levels and spatial distribution of genetic variation of five Epidendrum radicans populations growing on lava flows deposited in 1968 and 1992, we were able to infer ...

Schizophrenia and Types of Stroke: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Background Previous studies suggest an association between schizophrenia and stroke, but no studies have investigated stroke subtypes. We examined potential causal associations between schizophrenia and a range of atherosclerotic, embolic, and ...

The longitudinal effects of neonatal anthropometry on attention problems in males and females
Previous studies have demonstrated sex differences in the relationship between neonatal anthropometry and increased attention problems. Our study demonstrates that the nature of this relationship ‐ quadratic versus linear ‐ varies according to the anthropometric measure used and that the impact of increasing age on these effects differ in males and ...

Proteome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Identifies Therapeutic Targets for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Background The proteome is a key source of therapeutic targets. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization analysis across the proteome to identify potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
