80) compared with claims (PDC <0.80).

Of 459 patients returning the survey (response rate 43.5%), 50.1% were non-adherent in claims in month 12 while 20.9% were non-adherent based on the survey. Specificity of the 3-item metric for non-adherence was high (month 12 0.83). Sensitivity was relatively poor (month 12 0.25). Month 12 positive and negative predictive values were 0.59 and 0.52, respectively.

A 3-item self-reported measure has high specificity but poor sensitivity for non-adherence versus claims in cardiometabolic disease. Despite this, the tool could help target those needing adherence support, particularly in the absence of claims data.

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) has been reported to be frequently followed by symptoms of post-TIA posttraumatic stress disorder (post-TIA PTSD). Risk factors for post-TIA PTSD remain largely unknown. We aimed to identify predictors of post-TIA PTSD development to enable post-TIA PTSD risk assessment and inform future development of treatment and prevention interventions.

TIA patients were examined twice for this observational cohort study. Symptoms of post-TIA PTSD, depression and anxiety were assessed shortly after TIA during in-hospital stay (T
) and three months after TIA (T
). The impact of known general PTSD risk factors (psychiatric history, peritraumatic dissociation, social support), psychological resilience factors (sense of coherence, mindfulness, attachment style) and TIA characteristics (affected circulatory territory, symptom type and duration) at T
on post-TIA PTSD symptom severity at T
was tested using hierarchical multiple linear regression.

Sixty-one patients (83.6%) completed the study at T
. Fifteen patients (24.6%) were classified as post-TIA PTSD⊕ at T
. In multiple linear regression analysis, age, sex, psychiatric history, peritraumatic dissociation and social support together explained 39.9% of variance of post-TIA posttraumatic stress symptom severity. Sense of coherence and mindfulness explained further 17.8% of variance. Clinical TIA characteristics were not associated with post-TIA PTSD.

Post-TIA PTSD is a common phenomenon. General PTSD risk factors can be applied for post-TIA PTSD risk assessment. Sense of coherence and mindfulness are promising target variables for post-TIA PTSD treatment and prevention interventions.

Clinical features range from isolated recurrent episodes of liver failure to multisystemic syndrome including short stature, skeletal osteopenia and dysplasia, optic atrophy, and a variable immunological, cutaneous, muscular, and neurological abnormalities. Hemizygous variants in CUL4B cause syndromic X-linked intellectual disability characterized by limitations in intellectual functions, developmental delays in gait, cognitive, and speech functioning, and other features including short stature, dysmorphism, and cerebral malformations. In this study, we report on a 4.5-month-old preterm infant with a complex phenotype mainly characterized by placental-related severe intrauterine growth restriction, post-natal growth failure with spontaneous bone fractures, which led to a suspicion of osteogenesis imperfecta, and lethal bronchopulmonary dysplasia with pulmonary hypertension. Whole exome sequencing identified compound heterozygosity for a known frameshift and a novel missense variant in NBAS and hemizygosity for a known CUL4B nonsense mutation. In vitro functional studies on the novel NBAS missense substitution demonstrated altered Golgi-to-endoplasmic reticulum retrograde vesicular trafficking and reduced collagen secretion, likely explaining part of the patient's phenotype. We also provided a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic features of NBAS and CUL4B deficiency, thus updating the recently emerging NBAS genotype-phenotype correlations. Our findings highlight the power of a genome-first approach for an early diagnosis of complex phenotypes.Hypoxia occurs not only in pathological conditions like cancer and ischemia and in a variety of physiological settings in the adult organism, but also during normal embryonic development. In the inner portion of the fetal growth plate, which is an avascular tissue originating from mesenchymal progenitor cells, chondrocytes experience physiological hypoxia. Hypoxia-Inducible Transcription Factor-1α (HIF1α), a crucial mediator of cellular adaptation to hypoxia, is an essential survival factor for fetal growth plate chondrocytes. This brief review summarizes our current understanding of the survival function of HIF1α during endochondral bone development.Moderate exercise can alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) such as pain, stiffness, and joint deformities that are associated with progressive cartilaginous degeneration, osteophyte formation, subchondral bone changes, and synovial inflammation. Irisin is an exercise-related myokine that reportedly plays a crucial role in bone remodeling. However, its role in OA remains unknown. NSC 178886 price This study aimed to determine whether irisin can attenuate OA progression and the mechanism of its therapeutic effect. Three-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomized to groups that underwent sham operation, and anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or irisin in vivo. Apoptosis was induced by stretching murine osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells in vitro. Irisin reduced wear, maintained the proportion of hyaline cartilage, a more complete cartilage structure, and lower Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores at 4 weeks after ACLT. Irisin reduced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 in cartilage and caspase 3 in the subchondral bone.
