A rocker’s guide to management | 1843

Friday, April 26th, 2019

QT:[[”
One of the most striking differences between the Stones and the Beatles is that the Beatles split up after a mere seven years at the top, whereas the Stones are still going. One startup flashed brightly and burned out; the other established itself as a long-running corporation.

25 tips for getting the most out of the new Gmail features

Friday, April 26th, 2019

“19. The new Gmail has some noteworthy keyboard shortcuts that can save you time and make it easier to get around: Pressing “b” when you are viewing a message or have selected a message in your inbox will let you snooze it; holding down Shift and then pressing “t” will open up the Tasks panel and add your currently open or selected message as a new item; and pressing “g” and then “k” will open up the Tasks panel, regardless of what else you’re doing. (Just be sure you’ve activated the keyboard shortcuts option in the “General” section of Gmail’s settings first.)

20. Remember Gmail Labs? That’s gone in the new Gmail, but you can find many of the same options in a newly added “Advanced” section within the site’s settings. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, select “Settings,” then select the “Advanced” tab at the top of the screen. Useful features such as templates, custom keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to turn on an Outlook-like preview pane await.”

Genetic susceptibility to lung cancer and co-morbidities

Friday, April 26th, 2019

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3804872/

QT:[[”
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enabled significant progress in the past 5 years in investigating genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Large scale, multi-cohort GWAS of mainly Caucasian, smoking, populations have identified strong associations for lung cancer mapped to chromosomal regions 15q [nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits: CHRNA3, CHRNA5], 5p (TERT-CLPTM1L locus) and 6p (BAT3-MSH5). Some studies in Asian populations of smokers have found similar risk loci, whereas GWAS in never smoking Asian females have identified associations in other chromosomal regions, e.g., 3q (TP63), that are distinct from smoking-related lung cancer risk loci. GWAS of smoking behaviour have identified risk loci for smoking quantity at 15q (similar genes to lung cancer susceptibility: CHRNA3, CHRNA5) and 19q (CYP2A6).
