Article Synopsis
- A study investigated how exposure to various air pollutants affects mortality in dialysis patients, using data from 90,373 patients in France between 2012 and 2020.
- The research found that higher pollution levels were linked to increased all-cause deaths and specifically higher rates of infectious mortality among these patients.
- Results indicate that air pollution could be a significant factor in the rising deaths related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally, with stronger effects observed in women and patients with fewer comorbidities.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how the school format (remote, in-person/hybrid, homeschool) during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted anxiety and depression in autistic children, while considering their symptoms before the pandemic.
- The research involved 81 verbally-fluent autistic kids with an average age of about 15, and findings showed that the school format did not significantly affect their anxiety or depressive symptoms.
- Instead, the level of anxiety and depression was mainly influenced by their symptoms before the pandemic, highlighting the importance of considering pre-existing conditions when assessing the impact of the pandemic.
Mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders impairing mitochondrial functions. Here we describe a patient with a neurodegenerative condition associated with myopia, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and motor disorders. Brain MRIs showed major cortico-subcortical and infra-tentorial atrophies, as well as intracerebral iron accumulation and central calcifications, compatible with a NBIA-like phenotype.

The data were collected between 2003 and 2020 and only patients with stage I clear cell or serous uterine carcinoma treated with primary surgery were included. These were classified into three groups: No treatment or brachytherapy only (G1), radiotherapy +/- brachytherapy (G2), chemotherapy +/- radiotherapy +/- brachytherapy (G3).

We assessed the relationship between neighbourhood walkability and cardiometabolic factors (including obesity, hypertension, the blood lipid profile, and serum glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels) among adults living in northern France.
Methods: Data were extracted from the ELISABET study database (2011-2013).
