The signs which one ordinarily associates with gout, such as subcutaneous nodules, podagra, arthritis, and elevation of blood uric acid level, do not necessarily make for a diagnosis of that condition, as Dr Talbott and his associates explain. Gout is still frequently misdiagnosed, in spite of renewed interest in it, because of ignorance of its many facets, which are described in this symposium. One of the most important of these may be the "gouty diathesis" which appears to be associated with significant disease, particularly coronary heart disease.

Congenital pulmonic and aortic stenosis in Newfoundland dogs: Results of a 14-year French cardiovascular screening program (921 dogs).
PLoS One
January 2025
Cardiology Department, Vétérinaire Clinic Boulogne Roland Garros, Boulogne Billancourt, France.
Introduction: Aortic stenosis (AS) and pulmonic stenosis (PS) are two of the most common canine congenital heart diseases (CHD), with a high relative risk for Newfoundland dogs to develop inherited subvalvular AS. For this reason, a cardiovascular screening program has been set up by the French Newfoundland kennel club in order to manage mattings and reduce AS prevalence.
Materials And Methods: The records of untreated and non-anesthetized adult Newfoundland dogs screened between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
Obesity phenotypes and dyslipidemia in adults from four African countries: An H3Africa AWI-Gen study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences, Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Johannesburg.
Introduction: The contribution of obesity phenotypes to dyslipidaemia in middle-aged adults from four sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries at different stages of the epidemiological transition has not been reported. We characterized lipid levels and investigated their relation with the growing burden of obesity in SSA countries.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.
Pathophysiology and diagnostic criteria of PCOS.
Minerva Obstet Gynecol
January 2025
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine-metabolic syndrome mainly characterized by ovarian dysfunction, which is only one manifestation of a more complex syndrome with a significant systemic impact.
Evidence Acquisition: We review scientific literature on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of PCOS evaluating the most relevant data from original articles, reviews and meta-analyses published until June 2024.
Evidence Synthesis: From a pathophysiological point of view, the concurrence of both metabolic aspects, such as insulin resistance and obesity, and hormonal alterations, such as hyperandrogenemia, might produce the most relevant clinical signs and/symptoms of this syndrome, for instance menstrual irregularities, hair loss, acne and hirsutism.
First branchial cleft anomalies in children: long-term outcome in 16 patients.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Introduction: First branchial cleft anomalies (FBCA) are rare congenital head and neck malformations, often subject to incorrect diagnosis and treatment. We present our experience with FBCA, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnosis, perioperative relation to the facial nerve, surgical approach, complications and patient satisfaction.
Methods: A consecutive cohort of 16 patients undergoing surgical treatment for FBCA between 1999 and 2021 was analyzed.
ICU-Broncho-Aspiration Protocols Monitoring at an Academic Health Network System.
South Med J
February 2025
the Marshall University School of Medicine, Huntington, West Virginia.
Objectives: The objectives were to determine intensive care unit (ICU) incidence of broncho-aspiration (BA) and the effect of monitoring BA prevention protocols.
Methods: The Health Network Warehouse was interrogated for the diagnosis of BA in patients older than 18 years in the surgical ICU (SICU) from January 2010 to December 2020. A BA prevention bundle protocol was prospectively monitored during all consecutive SICU admissions from August 2021 to November 2021 until discharge/death (n = 159).
