More than 1 million prostate biopsies are performed annually among Medicare beneficiaries. We determined the risk of serious complications requiring hospitalization. hypothesized that with emerging multidrug resistant organisms there may be an increasing infectious complications.In a 5% random sample participants in SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) regions from 1991 to 2007 we compared 30-day hospitalization rates ICD-9 primary diagnosis codes for admissions between 17,472...
Abstract Physical activity has been associated with lower risks of breast and colorectal cancer in epidemiological studies; however, it is unknown if these associations are causal or confounded. In two-sample Mendelian randomisation analyses, using summary genetic data from the UK Biobank GWA consortia, we found that a one standard deviation increment average acceleration was (odds ratio [OR]: 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.27 to 0.98, P-value = 0.04) (OR: 0.66, CI: 0.48 0.90, 0.01)....
Given the anthropometric differences between men and women previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 total 94 studies. Seven loci displayed significant (FDR<5%), including four previously established (near GRB14/COBLL1, LYPLAL1/SLC30A10, VEGFA,...
