KCNJ11 gene mutations are related to permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). Glycemic stability minimizes the risk of complications. Sulfonylureas (SU) are the proven best therapeutic option. We report a 18-month follow-up of switching from insulin to SU in a mother and her daughter with PNDM due to KCNJ11 mutation.

Empathic stress is the reproduction of psychological and physiological stress activation in an observer of a directly stressed target individual. It likely allows us to allocate the energy necessary to jointly alleviate a stressor at hand. The tendency to show such an empathic or "second-hand" stress response depends on the relationship between target and observer.

Background: Adverse events in childhood are linked to cancer risk across the life course, but evidence is lacking regarding parental death during childhood and breast cancer (BrCa) characteristics. We investigated whether parental loss in childhood defines women at higher risk of BrCa incidence and aggressive disease.

Methods: The Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS) comprises over 15,000 families who enrolled during mothers' pregnancies between 1959-1967; family members were followed for cancer incidence and cause-specific mortality.
