Impact of non-participation bias due to psychiatric illness on mortality and cardiovascular event estimates: a Danish longitudinal population study by Christian Torp-Pedersen, Mads Rasmussen, Christina Ellervik, Anders Jorgensen, Henrik E Poulsen, Zerlina Rygner

“…Compared with non-psychiatric participants in a 5-year follow-up, psychiatric non-participants had higher rates of cardiovascular events (HR 2.30 (2.07 to 2.56)) and all-cause mortality (3.37 (3.01 to 3.78)) than non-psychiatric non-participants (1.65 (1.48 to 1.83) and 2.26 (2.02 to 2.54), respectively) and psychiatric participants (1.39 (1.21 to 1.59) and 1.23 (1.05 to 1.44), respectively), pinteraction<0.0001 for both outcomes.Conclusions This study demonstrates a considerable non-participation bias due to psychiatric illness in a general population health study, potentially leading to distorted estimates of somatic morbidity and mortality. …”

Human phospholipases A2: a functional and evolutionary analysis by I. I. Turnaev, M. E. Bocharnikova, D. A. Afonnikov

“…The PLA2 superfamily enzymes are widespread and present in most mammalian cells and tissues, regulating metabolism, remodeling the membrane and maintaining its homeostasis, producing lipid mediators and activating inflammatory reactions, so disruption of PLA2-regulated lipid metabolism often leads to various diseases. In this study, 29 PLA2 genes in the human genome were systematically collected and described based on literature and sequence analyses. …”
