Although the effects of direct and indirect forms of contact on intergroup relations are well documented, little is known about their longitudinal co-development. Based on the social-psychological literature, we hypothesize that indirect contact predicts future direct contact by reducing intergroup ...

Abstract South Asians are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). We carried out a genome-wide association meta-analysis with South Asian T2D cases ( n = 16,677) and controls ( n = 33,856), followed by combined analyses with Europeans (n eff = 231,420). We identify 21 novel genetic loci fo...

The biological complexity reflected in histology images requires advanced approaches for unbiased prognostication. Machine learning and particularly deep learning methods are increasingly applied in the field of digital pathology. In this study, we propose new ways to predict risk for cancer-specifi...

BACKGROUND: The high vascularity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) seems to be a potential therapeutic target. We evaluated the efficacy, toxicity, and histologic response to thalidomide in advanced HCC in a single center phase I/II pilot trial. METHODS: Between September 2000 and August 2004 patien...

= 89, 1,513 interactions). As expected, participants showed a clear ingroup bias in expectations and cooperation. Furthermore, the quality of contact history moderated contact effects. Specifically, intergroup contact following a positive history of intergroup contact had a stronger effect on interg...

Key Points Proteolytic activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) was compromised by transmembrane serine protease 2 deficiency in murine cortical collecting duct cells and native mouse kidney. To compensate for impaired ENaC activation, rise in plasma aldosterone in response to low-salt die...

BACKGROUND/AIM: Severity of microlithiasis- and sludge-induced pancreatitis in comparison to gallstone-induced pancreatitis has never been studied for a lack of definition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, 263 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis treated at a tertiary c...
