Polygenic Risk Score Added to Conventional Case Finding to Identify Undiagnosed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
JAMA
January 2025
Channing Division of Network Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often undiagnosed. Although genetic risk plays a significant role in COPD susceptibility, its utility in guiding spirometry testing and identifying undiagnosed cases is unclear.
Objective: To determine whether a COPD polygenic risk score (PRS) enhances the identification of undiagnosed COPD beyond a case-finding questionnaire (eg, the Lung Function Questionnaire) using conventional risk factors and respiratory symptoms.
Food Allergy and Mental Health in Children and Adolescents-The Role of Shared Familial Environment.
Clin Exp Allergy
January 2025
Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Evidence suggests a link between food allergy and poor mental health, however, this may be explained by shared genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to investigate the association between food allergy of different severity and mental health in children, and the role of familial factors.
Methods: This population-based, longitudinal cohort study is based on the Child and Adolescent Twin Study in Sweden with questionnaire data reported by parents and/or children.
Diagnosing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: Positive predictive value of CSF JC virus quantitative PCR and importance of recognizing suggestive neuroimaging findings.
J Neurol Sci
January 2025
Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences, Western University, London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario, Canada; Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Western University, London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:
Objective: To determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of CSF John Cunningham virus (JCV) quantitative PCR (qPCR) for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and highlight neuroimaging findings reported to be suggestive of this disease.
Methods: We reviewed patients at London Health Sciences Centre with a positive CSF JCV qPCR result. Patients were classified as true-positive if they had a clinico-radiographic presentation compatible with PML and no more likely alternative diagnosis.
Use of intrauterine dextrose as an alternative to systemic antibiotics for treatment of clinical metritis in dairy cattle: a microbiome perspective.
Front Vet Sci
December 2024
Intergraduate Degree Program in Integrative and Biomedical Physiology, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of a non-antibiotic treatment (intrauterine dextrose) versus systemic antibiotics (ceftiofur) on the vaginal microbiome of dairy cows with clinical metritis around 7 days post-calving.
- Results indicated that both treatments resulted in only minor differences in the microbiome, suggesting that dextrose could be a viable alternative to antibiotics.
- The study found no significant changes in alpha or beta diversity of the microbiome among the two treatments at various time points.
