Pharmacogenetic variation is common and an established driver of response for many drugs. There has been tremendous progress in pharmacogenetics knowledge over the last 30 years and in clinical implementation of that knowledge over the last 15 years. But there have also been many examples where translation has stalled because of the lack of available data sets for discovery or validation research.

Both cyclic "crown" and acyclic "tiara" polyethers have been recognized as useful for the binding of metal cations and enabling the assembly of multimetallic complexes. However, the properties of heterobimetallic complexes built upon acyclic polyethers have received less attention than they deserve. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a family of eight redox-active heterobimetallic complexes that pair a nickel center with secondary redox-inactive cations (K, Na, Li, Sr, Ca, Zn, La, and Lu) bound in acyclic polyether "tiara" moieties are reported.

Objective: To define the natural history, patterns of recurrence and treatment modalities for local prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence following radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiation therapy (RT), and to investigate factors that could predict metastasis-free survival (MFS) in this unique patient population.

Methods: We queried a prospectively maintained PCa registry to identify men developing in-field recurrence (IFR) following RP and RT from 2008 to 2021 at a single institution. IFR was defined as biopsy-proven recurrent PCa or the presence of persistent positron emission tomography-avid lesions in the prior radiation field without evidence of metastasis.

Objectives: The NIH All of Us Research Program (All of Us) is engaging a diverse community of more than 10 000 registered researchers using a robust engagement ecosystem model. We describe strategies used to build an ecosystem that attracts and supports a diverse and inclusive researcher community to use the All of Us dataset and provide metrics on All of Us researcher usage growth.

Materials And Methods: Researcher audiences and diversity categories were defined to guide a strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • Genetic variations in specific genes are linked to differences in lipid metabolism and risks for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, but previous studies mainly focused on European populations and didn't extensively consider sex or ancestry differences.
  • This study analyzed genetic data from 181,880 participants across seven ancestry groups to identify associations with various health conditions, specifically looking at phenotypes related to Alzheimer's disease risk.
  • The findings revealed significant associations with conditions like hyperlipidemia and Alzheimer's, highlighting differences in these risks based on sex and ancestry, while also noting that there were some unique associations in specific ancestry groups.
