Renewable Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in Nine OECD Countries: Bounds Test Approach and Causality Analysis by Lin Hung-Pin

“…The overall results indicate that (1) a short-run unidirectional causality runs from EG to RE in Italy and UK; (2) long-run unidirectional causalities run from RE to EG for Germany, Italy, and UK; (3) a long-run unidirectional causality runs from EG to RE in USA, and Japan; (4) both long-run and strong unidirectional causalities run from RE to EG for Germany and UK; and (5) Finally, both long-run and strong unidirectional causalities run from EG to RE in only USA. Further evidence reveals that policies for renewable energy conservation may have no impact on economic growth in France, Denmark, Portugal, and Spain.…”

The Impact of Osteopontin Gene Variations on Multiple Sclerosis Development and Progression by Cristoforo Comi, Giuseppe Cappellano, Annalisa Chiocchetti, Elisabetta Orilieri, Sara Buttini, Laura Ghezzi, Daniela Galimberti, Franca Guerini, Nadia Barizzone, Franco Perla, Maurizio Leone, Sandra D’Alfonso, Domenico Caputo, Elio Scarpini, Roberto Cantello, Umberto Dianzani

“…In this paper, we extended our analysis to a gene variation at the 5′ end on the -156G>GG single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and replicated our previous findings at the 3′ end on the +1239A>C SNP. We found that only +1239A>C SNP displayed a statistically significant association with MS development, but both +1239A>C and -156G>GG had an influence on MS progression, since patients homozygous for both +1239A and −156GG alleles displayed slower progression of disability and slower switch to secondary progression than those carrying +1239C and/or −156G and those homozygous for +1239A only. …”

High Salt Intake Increases Copeptin but Salt Sensitivity Is Associated with Fluid Induced Reduction of Copeptin in Women by Irina Tasevska, Sofia Enhörning, Philippe Burri, Olle Melander

“…Systolic salt sensitivity was inversely correlated with salt-induced changes of copeptin, only in females (r = −0,58; P = 0,017). As suppression of copeptin on high versus low salt intake was associated with systolic salt sensitivity in women, our data suggest that high fluid intake and fluid retention may contribute to salt sensitivity.…”
