Background: Blood-based biomarkers, especially P-tau217, have been gaining interest as diagnostic tools to measure Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology.
Methods: We developed a plasma P-tau217 chemiluminescent immunoassay using 4G10E2 and IBA493 as antibodies, a synthetic tau peptide as calibrator, and the Quanterix SP-X imager. Analytical validation performed in a College of American Pathologists-accredited CLIA laboratory involved multiple kit lots, operators, timepoints, and imagers.

Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the pressure-pain threshold (PPT) values in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and age-gender matched controls with chronic nonspecific low back pain and to determine whether PPT values could be beneficial as a disease activity predictor after secondary fibromyalgia had been ruled out.
Methods: This study contained a cross-sectional observational study of participants with RA and chronic nonspecific low back pain controls without fibromyalgia. Visual analog scale (VAS), fatigue severity scale (FSS), pain catastrophizing scale (PCS), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and disease activity score (DAS28) were administered.

The effect of moderate-late preterm (MLP; 32 to 36 completed weeks' gestation) birth on childhood respiratory health is unclear. To assess the effect of being born MLP, compared with being born at term (≥37 completed weeks' gestation), on lung function and respiratory morbidity at 9-10 years of age. Prospective cohort of children born MLP or at term at the Royal Women's Hospital, Victoria, Australia.

Background And Aims: Despite a well-funded healthcare system with universal insurance coverage, Switzerland has one of the highest neonatal and infant mortality rates among high-income countries. Identifying avoidable risk factors targeted by evidence-based policies is a public health priority. We describe neonatal and infant mortality in Switzerland from 2011 to 2018 and explore associations with neonatal- and pregnancy-related variables, parental sociodemographic information, regional factors and socioeconomic position (SEP) using data from a long-term nationwide cohort study.
