Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology
TLDR
A genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility.

Clinical Features and Outcomes of Takotsubo (Stress) Cardiomyopathy.
TLDR
Patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy had a higher prevalence of neurologic or psychiatric disorders than did those with an acute coronary syndrome and physical triggers, acute neurologics or psychiatric diseases, high troponin levels, and a low ejection fraction on admission were independent predictors for in-hospital complications.

Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes
TLDR
A meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and 114,981 controls, finds a long tail of additional common variant loci explaining much of the variation in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes.

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height
TLDR
The results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number of causal variants, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid.

Association of a human G-protein β3 subunit variant with hypertension
TLDR
A novel polymorphism (C825T) in exon 10 of the gene encoding the p3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins (GNB3) is detected, which suggests a significant association of the T allele with essential hypertension.

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution
TLDR
A genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms.

Update on myocardial bridging.
TLDR
Clinical relevant aspects of myocardial bridging are summarized with an emphasis on morphological and hemodynamic alterations and their representation in imaging techniques, which is crucial for establishing a link between systolic compression and the clinical presentation, and hence for commencing appropriate therapy.
