Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how common restless legs syndrome (RLS) is among children with allergic diseases like asthma and dermatitis, compared to healthy kids.
- Researchers assessed various health factors, including demographics and RLS symptoms, using questionnaires and neurological exams, involving 270 children with allergic diseases and 150 healthy controls.
- Results showed higher rates of RLS in children with allergic conditions (up to 15.5%) versus the control group (6.7%), suggesting kids with allergies are over twice as likely to develop RLS, indicating the need for early diagnosis for better management of both RLS and allergy-related issues.
Article Synopsis
- * Around 50% of the identified variants in ABCA4 are of unknown significance, which complicates predicting disease risks for relatives, creating challenges for treatment development and clinical trials.
- * A new virus-like particle system has been developed to study ABCA4 variants, successfully characterizing known pathogenic mutations and revealing functional defects in a previously uncertain variant, thus enhancing understanding of genetic impacts on vision.
The mobile phone is essential in daily life, especially during the pandemic. Prolonged use can cause postural issues, leading to common neck pain. This study aims to determine the correlation between mobile phone use duration, addiction, neck muscle endurance, and neck pain in university students.

This is a case-control study including children with asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and atopic dermatitis (AD) and a healthy control group. The participants' skin moisture and sebum levels were measured non-invasively using a digital device.

Currently, genetic diagnoses of many ciliopathies remain incomplete (1-3). While various independent approaches theoretically have the potential to reveal the entire list of ciliary genes, approximately 30% of the genes on the ciliary gene list still stand as ciliary candidates (4,5).
