Nowadays it is difficult to recognise and separate the various syndromes. The geneticists and the morphologists often change the classification of syndromes. The problem may be caused by a new case of a known syndrome, when new symptoms are described among the known ones. Then it is not sure, if a new syndrome discovered or it is a more complicated variation of an already known syndrome. To emphasise and exemplify the difficulties of syndrome identification 5 patients are presented and analysed: on with anadysplasia, two with cleidocranial dysplasia and a sibling pair with Larsen syndrome. It is concluded that no new syndrome could be described, and in a similar context, the definition of several new syndromes is not justified. The classification of syndromes based on bone disorders must be modified in order to fit the Genetic Classification easier and more clearly.

Comparison of NoSAS score with STOP-Bang and Berlin scores in predicting difficult airway.
BMC Anesthesiol
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Suleyman Demirel University, Operating Room, Floor:1, Cunur, Isparta, 32260, Turkey.
Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the NoSAS, STOP-Bang, and Berlin scoring systems, which are utilized to predict obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), in forecasting difficult airway management. Additionally, the study sought to determine which of these scoring systems is the most practical and effective for this purpose.
Methods: Following the ethics committee approval, preoperative NoSAS, STOP-Bang, and Berlin scores were calculated for 420 patients aged 18 years and older who were scheduled for tracheal intubation.
Comparison of observational methods to identify and characterize post-COVID syndrome in the Netherlands using electronic health records and questionnaires.
PLoS One
January 2025
Nivel, Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Some of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 suffer from post-COVID syndrome (PCS). However, an uniform definition of PCS is lacking, causing uncertainty about the prevalence and nature of this syndrome. We aimed to improve understanding of PCS by operationalizing different classifications and to explore clinical subtypes.

Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Helsinki, Finland; University of Helsinki, Faculty of Medicine, Helsinki University Hospital and Research Program in Applied Tumor Genomics, Department of Pathology, Helsinki, Finland.
Objective: Endometrial carcinomas with mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) and no specific molecular profile (NSMP) are considered to have intermediate prognoses. However, potential prognostic differences between these molecular subgroups remain unclear due to the lack of standardized control for clinicopathologic factors. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of MMRd and NSMP endometrial carcinomas across guideline-based clinicopathologic risk groups.

Curr Opin Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Porur, Chennai, India.
Purpose Of Review: This review explores the phenomenology, pathogenesis, and nosology of headaches associated with infections, an often-overlooked yet clinically significant symptom. With the increasing recognition of secondary headaches in infections, understanding their clinical patterns, mechanisms, and classifications is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
Recent Findings: Headaches in infections are ubiquitous but vary in presentation, severity, and underlying mechanisms depending on the causative pathogen.
Background: Despite guideline recommendations, few institutions have implemented clinical pathways that incorporate frailty into routine decision-making for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). This paper presents an integrated clinical pathway designed to address the needs of frail patients undergoing RC. The purpose of the study is to determine whether a multifaceted prevention programme that tailors interventions to the syndromic components of frailty can improve postoperative morbidity and recovery time for patients.
