Introduction: We examined the associations of polygenic risk score (PRS) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and plasma biomarkers in the Chinese population.
Methods: This population-based study used baseline data from MIND-China (2018; n = 4873) and follow-up data from dementia-free individuals (2014-2018; n = 2117). We measured AD-related plasma biomarkers in a subsample (n = 1256). Data were analyzed using logistic and Cox regression models.
Results: We developed PRS with (PRS) and without (PRS ) apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. In the longitudinal analysis, PRS was associated with a multivariable-adjusted hazards ratio of 1.91 (95% CI = 1.13-3.23) for AD. PRS in combination with demographics yielded discriminative (area under the curve [AUC]) and predictive(C-statistic) accuracy of 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.77-0.84) and 0.80 (0.77-0.82), respectively. PRS showed an association with AD risk similar to PRS. PRS, but not PRS , was associated with reduced plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio and increased Neurofilament light chain (NfL) (p < 0.05).
Discussion: The PRS with and without APOE gene, in combination with demographics, shows good discriminative and predictive ability for AD. The AD-related pathologies underlie AD risk associated with PRS.
Highlights: The PRS and PRS were associated with AD risk in the Chinese population. The PRS and PRS , in combination with demographics, showed good discriminative and predictive ability for AD. The AD-related pathologies underlie the AD risk associated with PRS but not PRS .

Pre-diagnosis and pre-treatment loss to follow-up and associated factors among patients with presumed tuberculosis and those diagnosed in Uganda.

Background: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) of patients with presumed tuberculosis (TB) before completing the diagnostic process (pre-diagnosis LTFU) and before initiating treatment for those diagnosed (pre-treatment LTFU) is a challenge in the realization of the End TB Strategy. We assessed the proportion of pre-diagnosis and pre-treatment LTFU and associated factors among patients with presumed TB and those diagnosed in the selected health facilities.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving a review of routinely collected data from presumptive, laboratory and TB treatment registers from January 2019 to December 2022.
Genetic analysis of psychosis Biotypes: shared Ancestry-adjusted polygenic risk and unique genomic associations.

The Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) created psychosis Biotypes based on neurobiological measurements in a multi-ancestry sample. These Biotypes cut across DSM diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder with psychosis. Two recently developed post hoc ancestry adjustment methods of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRSs) generate Ancestry-Adjusted PRSs (AAPRSs), which allow for PRS analysis of multi-ancestry samples.

Background & Aims: Renin-independent aldosteronism (RIA) refers to a spectrum of autonomous aldosterone hypersecretion. We aimed to explore the genetical relationship between RIA and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and cirrhosis.
Methods: We included 125357 participants from the cohort of United Kingdom Biobank.
Intraoperative Cardiac Arrests in Asian Recipients of Liver Transplantation-Second Report After Learning Curve.

Department of Anaesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Samsung Medical Centre, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: Although surgical competency and anesthesia for liver transplantation (LT) have evolved significantly in the past decades, intraoperative cardiac arrest (ICA) is still an event that brings a poor prognosis to the recipient. We report a second-decade experience of ICA as a follow-up study of our first report at our institution.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of the medical records and the Liver Transplant Program database of our institution.
The everyday harms of structural racism and discrimination, perpetuated through institutions, laws, policies, and practices, constitute social determinants of health, but measures that account for their debilitating effects are largely missing in genetic studies of complex diseases. Drawing on insights from the social sciences and public health, we propose critical methodologies for incorporating tools that measure structural racism and discrimination within genetic analyses. We illustrate how including these measures may strengthen the accuracy and utility of findings for diverse communities, clarify elusive relationships between genetics and environment in a racialized society, and support greater equity within genomics and precision health research.
