Exploring the Link Between Psoriasis and Genetic Predictors of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Traits: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and skin involvement, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. However, few studies have evaluated whether psoriasis and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) traits share a common genetic basis.

Integrative Genomics Reveals Causal Pleiotropy and Therapeutic Opportunities at the Interface of Acute Pancreatitis and Infection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the genetic links between acute pancreatitis (AP) and its infectious comorbidities is crucial for prognosis and therapy, yet remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive post‐GWAS analysis using large‐scale summary statistics for AP and 16 infectious diseases. To pinpoint pleiotropic genes, we integrated

Dose‐dependent association of systemic comorbidities with periodontitis severity: A large population cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To examine whether the associations between periodontitis and multiple systemic conditions increase with increasing severity of periodontitis using a multi‐center electronic health record (EHR) repository. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis was conducted using EHR data from 9 dental schools in the United States.

Epigenetic inflammatory memory and periodontal disease: Mechanisms and clinical significance for comorbidities

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, immunological memory was considered an exclusive feature of adaptive immunity. However, innate immune cells have recently been shown to record and maintain epigenetically imprinted memory of earlier infectious or inflammatory challenges.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Depression/Anxiety in an East Asian Population: A Mendelian Randomization Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity and psychiatric disorders are the leading causes of global morbidity. Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional link between higher body mass index (BMI) and mental health outcomes, but the direction of causality remains uncertain due to confounding and reverse causation. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using

MendelR: A One‐Stop R Toolkit for Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MendelR is a fully automated R package specifically developed for Mendelian randomization (MR) studies, designed to address the technical challenges of causal inference in biomedical research. As a powerful causal inference method, Mendelian randomization can effectively reduce confounding bias in observational studies.
