Key Clinical Message: No formal treatment guidelines for MDS/MPN-RS-T exist. With salient features such as anemia and thrombocytosis, management is individualized and aims to address anemia, thrombosis, and in some cases acquired von Willebrand's disease.

Abstract: Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative overlap syndrome with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis (MDS/MPN-RS-T) is a rare myeloid neoplasm showing myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features. With extremely raised platelets, possibility of acquired von Willebrand and risk of hemorrhage is increased. With this quandary in mind, a descriptive case and a brief discussion of available treatments ensues.

Purpose: In heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) populations, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with impaired health outcomes. We evaluated whether in patients with HF, concomitant HF and COPD or COPD, the number of hospitalizations would be reduced in the year after testing for SDB with and without treatment initiation compared to the year before.

Methods: We performed a multicentre retrospective study of 390 consecutive sleep-clinic patients who had a primary diagnosis of chronic HF, HF and COPD or COPD and a secondary diagnosis of SDB.

Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with an uncertain etiology. Numerous neuroimaging studies have investigated patients with TS, but their conclusions remain inconsistent. The current study attempted to provide an unbiased statistical meta-analysis of published neuroimaging studies of TS.

Background: Ecthyma is a deeper form of impetigo involving the epidermis and dermis causing ulcerative plaques. Pathogens commonly responsible for the disease (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus) typically afflicts children, presenting during early stages with skin lesions that can closely resemble other vesicular and ulcerative dermatoses, such as those observed in mpox infection. The ongoing global outbreak of monkeypox has escalated the urgency for clinicians to accurately differentiate between these conditions due to their overlapping dermatological manifestations.

Mapping alterations in the local synchrony of the cerebral cortex in Prader Willi syndrome.

J Psychiatr Res

Individuals with Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) often exhibit behavioral difficulties characterized by deficient impulse regulation and obsessive-compulsive features resembling those observed in obsessive-compulsive disorder. The genetic configuration of PWS aligns with molecular and neurophysiological findings suggesting dysfunction in the inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interneuron system may contribute to its clinical manifestation. In the cerebral cortex, this dysfunction is expressed as desynchronization of local neural activity.

Frailism: a scoping review exploring discrimination against people living with frailty.

Lancet Healthy Longev

December 2024

University of the West of England, School of Health and Social Wellbeing, Bristol, UK; Research in Emergency Care, Avon Collaborative Hub (REACH), Bristol, UK.

People living with frailty can experience discrimination, but unlike the characteristics of age and disability, frailty is not protected by law. Frailty is a clinical syndrome associated with ageing in which health deficits increase a person's vulnerability to illness, disability, and death. This scoping review, conducted by a team of methodologists, clinicians, lawyers, and patients, aimed to investigate the extent of discrimination against people living with frailty described in health-care literature.
