ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AND CHRONIC LIVER DISEASES: EVIDENCE FROM A MENDELIAN RANDOMIZATION STUDY IN EUROPEANS AND EAST ASIANS

Associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic liver diseases: evidence from a Mendelian randomization study in Europeans and East Asians

ObjectiveMultiple observational studies have demonstrated an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic liver diseases (CLDs).However, the causality of T2DM on CLDs remained unknown in various ethnic groups.MethodsWe obtained MENS VESTS instrumental variables for T2DM and conducted a two-sample mendelian randomization (MR) stud

Smooth Jerk-Bounded Optimal Path Planning of Tricycle Wheeled Mobile Manipulators in the Presence of Environmental Obstacles

In this work, a computational algorithm is developed for the smooth-jerk optimal path planning of tricycle wheeled mobile manipulators in an obstructed environment.Due to a centred orientable wheel, the tricycle mobile manipulator exhibits more steerability and manoeuvrability over traditional mobile manipulators, especially in the presence of envi

Influence of group size on the success of wolves hunting bison.

An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at capturing prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished cooperation (i.e., free riding) in large groups.Although this suggests the formation of large groups is unrelated to prey capture, little is known about cooperation in l
