Serum Urate and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study Using Taiwan Biobank.
To evaluate the association between serum urate and risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to assess whether serum urate plays a causal role in CKD. ⋯ This prospective, population-based cohort study showed that elevated serum urate is a significant risk factor for incident CKD; however, Mendelian randomization analyses failed to provide evidence that serum urate had a causal effect on CKD in the East Asian population.

Artificial Intelligence-Augmented Electrocardiogram in Determining Sex: Correlation with Sex Hormone Levels.
To study the relationship between the sex probability derived from the artificial intelligence (AI)-augmented electrocardiogram (ECG) and sex hormone levels. ⋯ In this study, TT levels were lower and E2 levels higher with decreasing AI-ECG male probability in both sexes. Male and female patients with discordant AI-ECG sex probability had significantly different TT or E2 levels. This suggests that the ECG could be used as a biomarker of hormone status.
