Factors in Infancy That May Predict Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The global increase in the prevalence of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is of great medical importance, but the reasons for this increase are still unknown. This study sought to identify possible early contributing factors in children who were later diagnosed with ASD. In this retrospective cohort study, postnatal records of 1105 children diagnosed with ASD were analyzed to determine if any signs of ASD could be found in a large database of births and well-baby care programs.

Aortic Root Aneurysm in an Extreme Athlete.

Aortic root aneurysms require close clinical monitoring due to the risk of dissection or rupture. While patients usually remain asymptomatic, it can occasionally be detected on physical examination as a diastolic murmur, which can be further confirmed with diagnostic imaging. The vast majority of aneurysms are found in patients with congenital or acquired conditions that compromise vascular integrity.

Allosteric interactions among voltage-sensor modules of sodium channels probed by scorpion toxin modifiers.

Gating of voltage-dependent sodium channels involves coordinated movements of the voltage sensors in the voltage-sensing modules (VSMs) of the four domains (DI-DIV) in response to membrane depolarization. Zhu et al. have recently examined the effects of charge reversal substitutions at the VSM of domain III on the action of scorpion alpha- and beta-toxins that intercept the voltage sensors in domains IV and II, respectively.
