Testing the mediating mechanism of alcohol use on the association between retirement and depressive symptoms in the United States using generalized mixed effect models.

Objectives: Both alcohol use and the prevalence of depression-depressive disorders, among older adults have increased over the past several decades and have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. To our knowledge, the interactions between retirement, depression, and alcohol use have not yet been examined. This study aims to longitudinally explore the mediating role of alcohol use on the association between retirement and depressive symptoms in the United States, comparing individuals who are retired and not retired, while also exploring individuals who transitioned into and out of retirement at different times.

Two Cases of Periodic Paralysis Associated With MCM3AP Variants.

Objectives: Periodic paralysis is a rare genetic condition characterized by episodes of neuromuscular weakness, often provoked by electrolyte abnormalities, physiologic stress, physical exertion, and diet. In addition to mutations in genes coding for skeletal muscle ion channels, in 2019, Gustavasson et al discovered that the MCM3AP gene could be responsible for periodic paralysis. In this study, we present 2 individuals with clinical episodes of periodic paralysis who have variants in the MCM3AP gene.
