To investigate the associations of tea, coffee, and red wine intakes with health risks among individuals with hypertension. ⋯ These findings suggest that tea and red wine, but not coffee, can be part of a healthy diet for the hypertensive population.

To explore the relationship between liver fat content (LFC) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and determine the new threshold of LFC to diagnose NAFLD. ⋯ The relationship between LFC and NAFLD was sigmoidal, with an inflection point of 4.5%.

To construct a clinical noncontrastive computed tomography (NCCT) deep learning joint model for predicting early hematoma expansion (HE) after cerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and evaluate its predictive performance. ⋯ The combined clinical imaging deep learning model has a high predictive effect for early HE in sICH patients, which is helpful for clinical individualized assessment of the risk of early HE in sICH patients.

Endometriosis is a poorly understood disease that affects up to 196 million women worldwide and imposes high costs in terms of economic burden and quality of life of women. Traits of circulating lipids have been related to the onset and progression of endometriosis in previous observational studies but the results have remained contradictory. ⋯ This is the first MR-based evidence to suggest that triglycerides and HDL cholesterol are the predominant traits that account for the aetiological relationship of lipoprotein lipids with risk of endometriosis, in particular endometriosis of the pelvic peritoneum. Further well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to address these results.
