Han Chinese individuals on the Mongolian Plateau exhibit strong genetic homogeneity and adaptation signatures linked to metabolic functions, driven by ancient dietary shifts and environmental changes. These adaptations involve polygenic traits and pleiotropic genes, contributing to the genetic architecture of complex traits in eastern Eurasians.

The primary objective of this randomised controlled trial is to quantify the effect of tDCS and exercise on pain, disability and quality of life in people with hip OA. Our secondary objectives include: 1) quantifying the influence of motor cortex excitability and conditioned pain modulation on treatment effects, and 2) quantifying the economic cost/benefit of tDCS for improving health-related quality of life in people with hip OA.

This paper examines the persistent health and socioeconomic disparities experienced by Indigenous and Pacific Islander populations in the U.S. and New Zealand, highlighting how structural racism underpins these inequities despite differing healthcare systems. By situating Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Māori within their shared cultural and historical contexts, the study underscores the need to address systemic racialized barriers to improve health outcomes for these minoritized groups.
