Article Synopsis
- Obesity is often viewed as a lifestyle choice rather than a disease, leading to initiatives like the IMI SOPHIA project, which aims to better categorize individuals with obesity based on their disease risk and treatment responses.
- SOPHIA faces challenges due to siloed clinical cohorts, which limit data sharing for biomarker discovery, but tackles this by using a federated database built on open-source DataSHIELD technology that integrates 16 different data sources.
- The project allows secure analysis of combined data without revealing individual patient information, demonstrated through a proof-of-concept analysis linking BMI and blood pressure, which showed results similar to traditional meta-analyses, setting a standard for safe collaborative research.
Introduction: In this study, we investigated the impact of age on mate selection preferences in males and females, and explored how the formation and duration of committed relationships depend on the sex of the person making the selection.
Methods: To this end, we utilized data from the television dating shows and . In these programs, either a single man ("bachelor") or a woman ("bachelorette") has the opportunity to select a potential long-term partner from a pool of candidates.
Long-term efficacy of low-dose radiation therapy on symptoms in patients with knee and hand osteoarthritis: follow-up results of two parallel randomised, sham-controlled trials.
Lancet Rheumatol

Background: Low-dose radiation therapy is commonly used as treatment for benign diseases, including osteoarthritis, in some countries (eg, Germany). We have previously presented our 3-month follow-up results of two randomised sham-controlled trials, in which no substantial effects of low-dose radiation therapy on clinical outcomes were seen in patients with knee and hand osteoarthritis. Here we report the 6-month and 12-month results of these studies.
