Background: In a world confronted with new and connected challenges, novel strategies are needed to help children and adults achieve their full potential, to predict, prevent and treat disease, and to achieve equity in services and outcomes. Australia's Generation Victoria (GenV) cohorts are designed for multi-pronged discovery (what could improve outcomes?) and intervention research (what actually works, how much and for whom?). Here, we describe the key features of its protocol.

As the field of medicine becomes more specialized and siloed and the diagnostic work-up in surgery more advanced, the risk of anchoring diagnoses and partitioning of care increases. Thus, the fundamentals of a complete patient history and review of each body system remain critical in ensuring that surgeons establish a broad differential diagnosis; provide comprehensive, well-rounded care to patients; and create opportunities for patient counseling and interventions.

Background: Classical genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which successfully identified over 75 risk loci to date, are limited to the content of the imputation panels that typically do not cover all types of genetic variation, e.g., tandem repeats encompassing >55% of human genome.

Reduced representation sequencing (RRS) has proven to be a cost-effective solution for sequencing subsets of the genome in non-model species for large-scale studies. However, the targeted nature of RRS approaches commonly introduces large amounts of missing data, leading to reduced statistical power and biased estimates in downstream analyses. Genotype imputation, the statistical inference of missing sites across the genome, is a powerful alternative to overcome the caveats associated with missing sites.

Background: Systemic light chain amyloidosis is a rare and debilitating disease, especially for which initially presented with digestive tract involvement. Myocardial amyloidosis is highly aggressive with generally poor prognosis and often resulted in missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis with routine examination tools. Multimodality imaging play an important role in diagnosing the amyloidosis effect on multiple organs.
