Age at onset was determined in a sample of 360 patients representative of the 8069 schizophrenics hospitalised in SR Croatia. The 95% confidence interval for mean age at onset was 22.9-26.7 years. The difference between males and females was not significant, unlike the age difference between the sexes reported for age at first admission for schizophrenia. Results may be influenced by attrition of the original population of patients.

Background: Postmenopausal women (PMW) who complete menopause at a late age (55+ years) have lower cardiovascular disease risk than PMW who complete menopause at a normal age (45-54 years). However, the influence of late-onset menopause on vascular endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms by which a later age at menopause may modulate endothelial function remain to be determined.

Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) has been on the rise since the start of the twenty-first century. While the etiology behind this increase remains unclear, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has decreased the recommended age to begin screening for CRC to 45 years. This case report reviews the literature on CRC in the young population while presenting a case of a 21-year-old male with early-onset metastatic colorectal cancer without a hereditary etiology.

Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) is approved as monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). FTD/TPI plus bevacizumab showed good tolerability in the phase 3 SOLSTICE (first-line) and SUNLIGHT (later-line) trials. This pooled analysis was performed to further characterize the safety of FTD/TPI plus bevacizumab and to compare safety in untreated and previously treated patients with mCRC.

Objectives: Two different European Reference Networks cover CTDs with paediatric onset, the European Reference Network on Rare and Complex Connective Tissue Diseases (ERN ReCONNET) and the European Reference Network on Rare Immunological Disorders (ERN RITA). The transition of care is a significant focus, with ReCONNET centres actively addressing this through updated programs. Despite these efforts, challenges persist.

Takotsubo syndrome or broken-heart syndrome is a rare form of nonischemic cardiomyopathy characterized by regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle without evidence of coronary artery disease or acute plaque rupture. This transient impairment in myocardial contractility leads to symptoms and signs that can mimic a myocardial infarction. We present a case of Takotsubo syndrome in a 47-year-old premenopausal woman with complex congenital heart disease who initially presented with acute onset of shortness of breath and chest tightness after a verbal altercation.
