Lipid storage myopathies are considered inborn errors of metabolism affecting the fatty acid metabolism and leading to accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of muscle fibers. Specific diagnosis is based on investigation of organic aids in urine, acylcarnitines in blood and genetic testing. An acquired lipid storage myopathy in patients treated with the antidepressant drug sertraline, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, has recently emerged as a new tentative differential diagnosis.

- The study investigates how healthcare providers can better coordinate care for patients with complex needs through inter-organizational collaboration.
- Using qualitative methods, researchers engaged 86 participants from various healthcare settings to develop a grounded theory, revealing the complexities and stages of care coordination.
- Effective care coordination involves navigating and bridging professional and organizational boundaries, with a focus on collaboration rather than eliminating those boundaries entirely.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the reliability of speech data from the Swedish quality registry for children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) at age 10, using a retrospective design involving 121 participants.
- - Six independent raters compared audio recordings against registry data to assess factors like the percentage of consonants correct (PCC) and velopharyngeal competence (VPC), using statistical methods to measure agreement.
- - Results showed excellent reliability for PCC and non-oral speech errors, with good to excellent rankings for quality indicators, while VPC showed varying levels of reliability that warrant cautious interpretation in research contexts.
Frost tolerance has evolved many times independently across flowering plants. However, conservation of several frost tolerance mechanisms among distant relatives suggests that apparently independent entries into freezing climates may have been facilitated by repeated modification of existing traits ('precursor traits'). One possible precursor trait for freezing tolerance is drought tolerance, because palaeoclimatic data suggest plants were exposed to drought before frost and several studies have demonstrated shared physiological and genetic responses to drought and frost stress.

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of signs of neurocognitive disorder (mild cognitive impairment and dementia) in adult patients with DM1. A total of 128 patients with childhood, juvenile, adult, and late onset DM1 underwent a screening using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
