Type1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD) may occur together. HLA-DQ8 and DQ2 are key genetic risk factors in both. Overall, the patients with co-existing T1D and CD (T1D+CD) were shown to have HLA profile more similar to patients with T1D than those with CD. Slovenian patients with both diseases had the frequency of DQB1*02:01 (86.5%) very similar to patients with CD (83.8%) in contrast to the significantly different frequency of the same allele in patients with T1D (52.24%). The DQ2 conveyed higher risk for developing both T1D and CD in the same individual than DQ8. Additionally, the A1-B8-DR3-DQ2-MICA*008 ancestral haplotype (8.1AH) was over-represented in Slovenian (T1D+CD) patients, where B*08 was the most significant independent risk factor. Moreover, C*07, that is also present in the 8.1AH, could have an impact on the innate immunity rout of this susceptibility through interaction with KIRs. In the genotype context, the CD risk in T1D patients was associated with DR3-DQ2/DR3-DQ2, whereas the risk for T1D in CD patients was associated with DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8. Less frequent screening for the second disease related antibodies could be considered in patients with the first disease and low risk genotype for obtaining the second-one. Individuals carrying high risk DR3-DQ2/DR3-DQ2 or DR3-DQ2/DR4DQ8 are more likely to develop both autoimmune diseases together than individuals carrying any other HLA genotypes.

Aims: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) account for about 80% of the mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. About 5000-6000 patients are diagnosed in the United States (US) alone, and up to 14.5 cases per million discovered in Europe annually.

Background And Hypothesis: Unlike X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome, no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has yet been demonstrated in patients carrying a single variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Methods: We carried out a multicenter retrospective study to assess the risk factors involved in renal survival in patients presenting a single pathogenic variant on COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Results: 97 patients presenting a single pathogenic variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4 were included.

Background: How gait changes during the early stages of stoke rehabilitation, and which patient characteristics are associated with these changes is still largely unknown.
Objective: he first objective was to describe the changes in gait during stroke rehabilitation. Secondly, we determined how various patient characteristics were associated with the rate of change of gait over time.

Background: To determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 6-month tailored non-linear progressive physical activity intervention (PAI) for lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with lymphoma (non-Hodgkin (NHL) or Hodgkin (HL)) were randomized into the PAI or healthy living intervention (HLI) control (2:1). Feasibility was assessed by examining accrual, adherence, and retention rates.

Background: Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are both effective in treating borderline personality disorder (BPD). Impulsivity and impaired decision-making are prominent features of BPD, and therapeutic interventions targeting these symptoms could lead to significant improvements.
Objective/hypothesis: We hypothesized that intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a modified rTMS protocol that targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, would enhance the therapeutic effects of DBT, leading to greater improvements in impulsivity and decision-making compared with sham stimulation.
