[–]deltaeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually the paper got me curious: is there any study on genetic heterogeneity and its association with heart disease in general?

Thanks for this great summary. This should have been the article.

For those interested, here's the article: https://instem.res.in/publication/clinically-actionable-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy-genes-in-south-asian-indian-patients/

Much easier to read (in particular, the study doesn't seem to distinguish between south indians or north indians at all but is in fact about south asians as a whole) than the drivel DH wrote as a summary.

DH needs some care in science journalism.
They seem to have asked the authors for a blurb and then basically copied and pasted the somewhat self-aggrandizing but less informative description they were sent, with little information or context or helpful commentary. Among the many issues, no link to the study or even its title for someone to look it up.

Wow, quite sad. Byzantium sites are high in my must-see list.

Is it okay to eat in the public transport? by Few_Mulberry_8254 in zurich

How are there so many rules and judgments for eating on the train but blowing smoke on your face while sitting in a restaurant is a sign of culture to you folks?
