Background: Depression adversely affects health outcomes in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematous (cSLE). By identifying patients with depressive symptoms, we can intervene early with referrals to mental health resources and improve outcomes. The aim of our quality improvement project was to increase and maintain rates of standardized depression screening for youth with cSLE seen within our pediatric rheumatology clinic.

- The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
- A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
- The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.
Background: A recent case report described an individual who was a homozygous carrier of the APOE3 Christchurch (APOE3ch) mutation and resistant to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caused by a PSEN1-E280A mutation. Whether APOE3ch contributed to the protective effect remains unclear.
Method: We generated a humanized APOE3ch knock-in mouse and crossed it to an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque-depositing model.
Article Synopsis
- Urbanization is affecting landscapes and ecosystems, particularly in urban areas where trees play a vital role in regulating climate, air quality, and biodiversity.
- This study focuses on comparing tree leaf structures and environmental conditions between urban and suburban sites in the Chicago area, using Norway Maple and Little-leaved Linden as subjects.
- The research found that urban areas had higher temperatures and greater leaf trait variations, with Norway Maple showing higher gas exchange rates in urban settings, indicating greater water loss compared to suburban sites.
Body mass index and trajectories of muscle strength and physical function over time in Mexican American older adults: Sex differences.
Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis
November 2024
Background And Aims: Worldwide, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased. We examined sex-specific patterns in the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with muscle strength and physical function among older Mexican Americans over time.
Methods And Results: Participants (N = 1975) aged ≥65 years (mean = 72.
