Causal inference in health and disease: a review of the principles and applications of Mendelian randomization by Lovegrove, CE, Howles, SA, Furniss, D, Holmes, MV

“…Using the example of serum phosphate concentrations on liability to kidney stone disease we illustrate how MR estimates may be visualized and, finally, we contextualize MR in bone and mineral research including exemplifying how this technique could be employed to inform clinical studies and future guidelines concerning BMD and fracture risk. …”

Finally, protection for the high seas by Randhawa, Dipinder Singh

“…The High Seas Treaty is the first global agreement to protect the open seas – ninety-five per cent of the oceans that lie beyond exclusive national economic zones. For this critically vital expanse of Planet Earth which has huge economic, ecological and strategic importance, and which is little understood by people around the world, the treaty offers considerable protection against over-exploitation and wanton abuse.…”
