Aim: To study long-term sequelae in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
Method: This was a prospective observational study with children from two French tertiary centres. Data were from clinical and several standardized scales or questionnaires.
Significance Statement: Shiga toxin-related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) is a serious condition, characterized by multiorgan thrombotic microangiopathy, mainly affecting children. Renal involvement is severe, with approximately half of patients requiring dialysis. So far, no specific treatment has been proven efficient in STEC-HUS.

Methods: We used data from the 1958 National Child Development Study, including all the living subjects of the cohort at the outcome collection wave (44-45 years). We explored several biomarkers as outcomes: systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HbA1c, CRP, and cortisol.
Article Synopsis
- In many emergency rooms, a lot of CT scans are done on older people who fall and hurt their heads.
- Researchers found that where a person gets hit on their head can help predict if they have serious brain injuries.
- The study included over a thousand older patients, and certain factors like losing consciousness or having a bruise on their head showed a higher chance of serious brain damage.
Background: Defining and measuring Health presents a challenge, partly due to its conceptual pluralism. To measure Health as an ability to adapt and self-manage, we developed an approach within the theoretical framework of resources and reserves over the life course, recently proposed in the literature. We aimed to (i) use the conceptual framework developed to identify indicators of deteriorating health reserves, (ii) construct an overall health measure from these indicators, (iii) evaluate the association between the overall health measure and subsequent health outcomes and (iv) assess the robustness of our method.
