Article Synopsis
- * Research on Dlgap2 mutant mice showed that while their overall odor detection was similar to normal mice, they showed less interest in certain smells (banana and almond) but reacted more to unfamiliar bedding smells.
- * The absence of DLGAP2 protein in Homo mutant mice affected their brain's response to odors, which suggests altered synaptic signaling in their olfactory systems and could inform future strategies for diagnosing and treating ASD-related olfactory issues.

Background: Citrin deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder prevalent in East and Southeast Asia that affects liver or neurological function throughout various life stages. While early diagnosis and dietary management can improve prognosis for infant onset disease, data on long-term neurocognitive outcomes is scarce.
Purpose: This study aimed to clarify whether transient metabolic disturbances during early childhood have a lasting effect on the neurocognitive function of individuals with citrin deficiency.

Article Synopsis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to an increased risk of developing migraines, as both conditions share inflammatory pathways and psychological issues.
- In a study using a large cohort, HS patients were found to have a significantly higher hazard ratio (HR) for experiencing migraines compared to non-HS controls, with the risk being consistent across different age and gender groups.
- The findings suggest that medical professionals should be mindful of the connection between HS and migraines, prompting timely interventions for HS patients experiencing migraine symptoms.
Background: The exact cause of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) remains unclear, although emerging research suggests a link between infectious agents and inflammatory skin diseases. The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HS development, however, has not been studied.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of incident HS in patients with HPV infection.

Background/aim: Gout, characterized by acute inflammatory symptoms and monosodium urate crystal deposits in joints, is prevalent among males and the elderly. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but its impact on the risk of developing gout is unclear. This study examined the risk of gout in patients undergoing TKA.

As HS and gout share common immunological pathways, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine whether HS patients are at an increased risk of developing gout in the future.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study obtained information through the US collaborative network, a subset of the TriNetX research network.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has remarkably impacted children's mental health. Investigating whether COVID-19-related behavioral changes persist after recovery from the acute phase of infection warrants investigation. The present study aimed to identify children's behavioral/emotional and social adjustment problems after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTotal knee replacement (TKR) is a common surgical procedure for osteoarthritis (OA) patients. TKR may increase susceptibility to herpes zoster (HZ) by inducing immunosuppression, surgical stress, and nerve injury. However, limited data exist on the relationship between TKR and HZ.
