Article Synopsis
- Depression and anxiety are common issues for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), negatively impacting their quality of life, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A study aimed to evaluate how COVID-19 vaccination affects these mental health issues in IPF patients, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure changes before and after vaccination.
- Results showed a significant improvement in both anxiety and depression scores one month after vaccination, indicating that the vaccine may have beneficial effects on mental health for IPF patients, regardless of factors like age or previous mental health history.
Breast Cancer Risk Genes - Association Analysis in More than 113,000 Women.
N Engl J Med
February 2021
Background: Genetic testing for breast cancer susceptibility is widely used, but for many genes, evidence of an association with breast cancer is weak, underlying risk estimates are imprecise, and reliable subtype-specific risk estimates are lacking.
Methods: We used a panel of 34 putative susceptibility genes to perform sequencing on samples from 60,466 women with breast cancer and 53,461 controls. In separate analyses for protein-truncating variants and rare missense variants in these genes, we estimated odds ratios for breast cancer overall and tumor subtypes.
Article Synopsis
- * Each group focused on important topics such as idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, known origin ILDs, granulomatous ILDs, and rare ILDs, highlighting advancements in pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.
- * Sharing new research and experiences at the Congress is crucial for both physicians specializing in ILDs and patients affected by these rare diseases.
