Down Syndrome-Basque Alzheimer Initiative (DS-BAI): Clinic-Biological Cohort.

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetically determined intellectual disability. In recent decades, it has experienced an exponential increase in life expectancy, leading to a rise in age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Specific health plans for the comprehensive care of the DS community are an unmet need, which is crucial for the early and accurate diagnosis of main medical comorbidities.

Atopic dermatitis of infancy and urinary tract infections.

Background: Infants under evaluation for atopic dermatitis (AD) at our clinic undergo a battery of examinations that include urinalysis and urine culture tests with antibiograms. The prevalence of cases with significant bacteriuria and leukocyturia (SBL) appeared to be unexpectedly high.

Objective: This study attempts to establish whether infants with AD should be suspected of having a higher prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI).
