Definition of a disability weight for human exposure to ionizing radiation and its application to the justification of medical exposure.
BJR Open
January 2025
Institute of Health, University of Cumbria, Bowerham Road, Lancaster, LA1 3JD, United Kingdom.
Objectives: To establish a link between radiation dosimetry and disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) with the aim of quantifying the justification of medical exposures.
Methods: The health detriment, defined as lifetime loss of DALY at age of exposure to ionizing radiation for a US-European population was calculated. A simple model of the relationship was fitted to the results.
Catatonia-asossicated urinary retention in geriatric patients: a case series report.
BMC Geriatr
December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Department of Geriatric Psychiatry, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric condition often overlooked in elderly populations, leading to serious complications like urinary retention, which can exacerbate mobility issues and infection risks.
- The study followed four elderly patients (ages 66-84) with severe depression and catatonia, all showing significant urinary retention at admission.
- After receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the patients saw improvements in catatonic symptoms and a dramatic reduction in urinary retention, highlighting ECT's effectiveness in treating both conditions.
Adiposity and dementia among Chinese adults: longitudinal study in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
Int J Obes (Lond)
December 2024
Department of Medical Statistics, School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, P. R. China.
Background: Evidence on the age-dependent association between adiposity and risk of dementia in the Chinese population is unclear. We aim to disentangle the association of mid- and late- life adiposity with subsequent dementia risk in Chinese adults and compare ageing trajectories of adiposity between those with/out dementia.
Methods: Dementia was ascertained based on cognitive batteries and the Activity of Daily Living Scale in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
C9orf72 Gene-Associated Frontotemporal Dementia Mimicking Autoimmune Pathology.
Neurologist
January 2025
Department of Neurology, University of Utah.
Introduction: The C9orf72 mutation can manifest in diverse clinical ways, including rapid cognitive decline, parkinsonism, or late-life neuropsychiatric symptoms, sometimes mimicking autoimmune encephalitis.
Case Report: A 64-year-old female presented to the autoimmune neurology clinic with rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) associated with episodes of headache, confusion, auditory hallucinations, and abnormal electroencephalogram. She was treated empirically at an outside hospital for possible autoimmune encephalitis with intravenous methylprednisolone, but there was no improvement, and rapid cognitive decline continued.
