Background: The dynein cytoplasmic two heavy chain 1 (DYNC2H1) gene encodes a cytoplasmic dynein subunit. Cytoplasmic dyneins transport cargo towards the minus end of microtubules and are thus termed the "retrograde" cellular motor. Mutations in DYNC2H1 are the main causative mutations of short rib-thoracic dysplasia syndrome type III with or without polydactyly (SRTD3).

Background: The effectiveness of crisaborole for proactive treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) is not well established.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of a proactive treatment strategy with 2% crisaborole ointment for managing mild-to-moderate AD in children.
Patients And Methods: In this 16-week randomized-controlled trial, children aged 2-17 years with mild-to-moderate AD were enrolled.

Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from genetically modified mice are a valuable resource for studying gene function and regulation. The MEF system can also be combined with rescue studies to characterize the function of mutant genes/proteins, such as disease-causing variants. However, primary MEFs undergo senescence soon after isolation and passaging, making long-term genetic manipulations difficult.

Introduction: In light of the recent evidence suggesting an increase in idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study aimed to assess the incidence of newly diagnosed ICPP cases and compare differences in demographic, anthropometric, and clinical characteristics pre-pandemic and during the pandemic.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at a national reference pediatric endocrinology unit in Portugal to evaluate the proportion of referrals for precocious puberty (PP) and, within this group, the number of ICPP cases diagnosed before (group 1: January 2018 to March 2020) and during the pandemic (group 2: April 2020 to June 2022). Additionally, we compared the demographic, anthropometric, and clinical characteristics of ICPP patients between the two groups.

Purpose: Prior research demonstrates that children with autism are more likely to experience unintentional injuries than the general population. Limited research exists on the symptoms or traits directly related to autism and this elevated injury rate, especially from the perspective of families with children with autism. This study used qualitative methodology to elucidate risk factors that may contribute to unintentional injuries in children with autism from the perspective of mothers raising children with autism.
