Background: Epidemiological and genetic studies have elucidated associations between antihypertensive medication and Alzheimer's disease (AD), with the directionality of these associations varying upon the specific class of antihypertensive agents.
Methods: Genetic instruments for the expression of antihypertensive drug target genes were identified using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in blood, which are associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP). Exposure was derived from existing eQTL data in blood from the eQTLGen consortium and in the brain from the PsychENCODE and subsequently replicated in GTEx V8 and BrainMeta V2.

Background: Observational studies suggest that metformin may reduce the risk of malignant tumors of the digestive system (MTDS), but these findings are often confounded by bias and unmeasured variables. Recent meta-analyses have questioned these associations, emphasizing the need for robust causal inference.
Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to evaluate the causal relationship between metformin and MTDS.

The concept of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has received much attention over the past 20 years. Currently, it is believed that FAIS can lead to intra-articular pathologies such as labral tears and articular cartilage lesions, resulting in clinical symptoms and subsequent poor clinical outcomes. FAIS-related articular cartilage lesions are common but unique, and their natural course always leads to early osteoarthritis of the hip.
