Weighing in on asthma: Insights on BMI, magnesium, and hospitalizations from the Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository.

Little is known about weight status and its effects on clinical course during hospitalization for asthma exacerbation. We sought to evaluate associations between weight status, specifically body mass index (BMI), with inpatient clinical course and clinical history. We retrospectively analyzed data from 2012 to 2013 on children hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in a state-wide longitudinal cohort, the Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository.

[Specialized food products with modified carbohydrate profile for dietary correction of diet of patients with type 2 diabetes].

In recent years, the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the world is growing steadily. According to the international diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of DM patients in the world in 2015 was 415 million, of them more than 90% - patients with type 2 diabetes. According to forecasts, in 2040 their number will increase to 642 million.

Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository: Opportunities to Revise Care Practices to Decrease Time to Physiologic Readiness for Discharge.

Background: Large-scale, multisite studies in which researchers evaluate patient- and systems-level factors associated with pediatric asthma exacerbation outcomes are lacking. We sought to investigate patient-level risks and system-level practices related to physiologic readiness for discharge (PRD) in the prospective Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository.

Methods: Participants were children ages 2 to 17 years admitted to an Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository hospital for asthma exacerbation.

[Assessment of efficacy of specialized food products with modified carbohydrate profile in patients with type 2 diabetes].

Objective - To evaluate the effect of diet therapy with the inclusion of specialized food product with a modified carbohydrate profile (fruit jelly) on glycemic and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study included 45 patients (aged 35 to 69 years) with type 2 diabetes with concomitant obesity I-III degree. The study was conducted in two stages.

The Clinical Utility of a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Microarray in Patients With Epilepsy at a Tertiary Medical Center.

Microarray testing has revolutionized clinical cytogenetics, as it provides a significantly higher resolution and greater clinical yield than karyotype analysis. This study assessed the clinical utility of single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray in patients with epilepsy. Study subjects were patients between the ages of birth to 23 years who were diagnosed with epilepsy and had a microarray performed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Heterogeneity in asthma care in a statewide collaborative: the Ohio Pediatric Asthma Repository.

Using Mendelian inheritance errors as quality control criteria in whole genome sequencing data set.

Although the technical and analytic complexity of whole genome sequencing is generally appreciated, best practices for data cleaning and quality control have not been defined. Family based data can be used to guide the standardization of specific quality control metrics in nonfamily based data. Given the low mutation rate, Mendelian inheritance errors are likely as a result of erroneous genotype calls.

Modeling of multivariate longitudinal phenotypes in family genetic studies with Bayesian multiplicity adjustment.

Genetic studies often collect data on multiple traits. Most genetic association analyses, however, consider traits separately and ignore potential correlation among traits, partially because of difficulties in statistical modeling of multivariate outcomes. When multiple traits are measured in a pedigree longitudinally, additional challenges arise because in addition to correlation between traits, a trait is often correlated with its own measures over time and with measurements of other family members.

Genomic organization and expression analysis of the murine Fam3c gene.

Previously, we identified FAM3C as a candidate gene for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss locus 17 (DFNB17). This gene has since been found to be a member of a cytokine-like gene family, but its function has not been determined. The purpose of this study was thus to elucidate the gene structure and pattern of expression, providing information that might allow a hypothesis to be developed about FAM3C function of in the inner ear.

252Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometric study of interactions of steroid glycosides with amino acids.

252Cf Plasma desorption with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-PDMS) has been applied to comparative studies of the interactions of steroid glycosides (SGs) of the spirostan series with amino acids. SGs can interact with amino acids to form heteroclusters of the type [SG + aminoacid + H](+) and [SG + aminoacid + K](+). It is shown how the affinity of SGs for amino acids depends on the structures of both the SG carbohydrate chain and the SG aglycone, and on the nature of the amino acid side chain.
