Hospitalisation rates for epilepsy, asthma and insulin-dependent diabetes in 796 190 school-aged children and young people with and without intellectual disabilities: a record-link... by Angela Henderson, Sally-Ann Cooper, Craig Melville, Michael Fleming, Gillian S Smith, Jill Pell, Deborah Cairns

“…Pupils with intellectual disabilities and insulin-dependent diabetes had similar admission rates to controls (aHR 0.94, 95% CI 0.63, 1.41) but with shorter admissions (aIRR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51, 0.99).Conclusions Our findings suggest pupils with intellectual disabilities may receive poorer community healthcare than their peers for the common conditions of epilepsy and asthma. …”

Electrocardiographic Frontal QRS-T Angle Is Independently Associated with the Presence of Celiac Disease and Disease Duration by Betül Ayça Yamak, İbrahim Ethem Güven, Mustafa Candemir

“…Among CD patients, those with longer disease duration (>38.5 months) exhibited significantly wider QRS intervals (94 (88 to 98) vs. 88 (84 to 94), <i>p</i> < 0.001) and frontal QRS-T angles (29 (14 to 47) vs. 16 (10 to 25), <i>p</i> < 0.001) compared to those with shorter disease duration. A positive correlation between the disease duration and fQRS-T was also demonstrated (r = 0.478, <i>p</i> < 0.001). …”

Mosaic loss of the Y chromosome in human neurodegenerative and oncological diseases by I. L. Kuznetsova, L. I. Uralsky, T. V. Tyazhelova, T. V. Andreeva, E. I. Rogaev

“…This has made it possible to assess the association of mosaic aneuploidy of the Y chromosome in somatic cells with a shorter lifespan in men compared to women. Based on data from the UK Biobank, an association was found between mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in peripheral blood leukocytes and the age of men over 70, as well as a number of oncological, cardiac, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric diseases. …”

“…After adjusting for potential confounding, SSRF &gt;3 days was associated with a threefold risk of composite in-hospital complications (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 3.15, 95% CI 1.76 to 5.62; p&lt;0.001), a 4-day increase in total hospital LOS (change in median LOS: 4.09; 95% CI 3.69 to 4.49, p&lt;0.001), and a nearly 2-day increase in median ICU LOS (change in median LOS: 1.70; 95% CI 1.32 to 2.08, p&lt;0.001), compared with SSRF ≤2 days.Conclusion Among patients undergoing SSRF in TQIP, earlier SSRF is associated with less in-hospital complications and shorter hospital stays. Standardization of time to SSRF as a trauma quality metric should be considered.Level of evidence Level II, retrospective.…”

Kimmich, Jessica Kübler, Sarah Gekeler, Elsa S. Görsch, Lea Kramer, Marcelle Baer, Jan C. Schroeder, Taylor S. Mills, Martina Konantz, Saskia S. Rudat, Claudia Lengerke

“…Testosterone may be the more important player since, strikingly, better engraftment was seen in castrated versus control male recipients, while ovariectomy did not significantly impair engraftment in females. Shorter time-to-engraftment and mouse survival were observed with adverse molecular risk, and respectively with high FLT3-ITD ratio mutated AML cells. …”
