Objective: To assess the utility of targeted surveillance for the identification of moderate to profound PCHI in babies who pass newborn hearing screening in England and have risk factors.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Study Sample: A total of 3,957,891 children born 01/04/2012-31/03/2018 in England.
Results: A total of 7148 PCHI cases were identified (1.81 per 1,000 babies). 6,707 followed an immediate referral from the screen (1 per 16 referrals), 51 followed targeted surveillance referral (1 per 540 referrals) and 390 without a referral. Audiology uptake was higher following an immediate referral (96.7% overall, 77.2% within NHSP-defined timescales) than following targeted surveillance (63.8% overall, 51.1% within 52 weeks of birth). The screening was 94.5% sensitive overall, with similar sensitivities for each of the risk factors. General linearised logistic regression models identified syndrome as the risk factor with the highest odds ratio (14.08 for all babies, 22.19 for babies without immediate referral). Close family history of hearing loss was the next highest (10.93 for all babies, 12.29 for babies without immediate referral).
Conclusion: The evidence for a targeted surveillance programme, based on risk factors, for babies in England who pass the newborn screen is not strong.

Background: Guidelines recommend endoscopic surveillance for gastric cancer without therapeutic intervention every 3 years in patients with high-risk gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in eradicating high-risk GIM.
Methods: This randomized self-control trial was conducted between June 2020 and February 2023.

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems, with a prevalence of 1:6,760-1:13,520 live births in Germany. On the molecular level, TSC is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in either of the genes TSC1 or TSC2, encoding the Tuberin-Hamartin complex, which acts as a critical upstream suppressor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a key signaling pathway controlling cellular growth and metabolism. Despite the therapeutic success of mTOR inhibition in treating TSC-associated manifestations, studies with mTOR inhibitors in children with TSC above two years of age have failed to demonstrate beneficial effects on disease-related neuropsychological deficits.

This study assessed trends in age-standardized incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), and mortality rates (ASMR) per 100,000 population for asthma, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Psoriasis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in China from 1990 to 2021 and projected ASIR trends through 2046. Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study. Trends in ASIR, ASPR, and ASMR were analyzed using Joinpoint regression to calculate annual percentage change (APC) and average APC (AAPC).

On October 7, 2023, a large-scale attack in southern Israel and the subsequent war resulted in extensive loss of life and injuries, with many individuals experiencing traumatic losses, such as family members or close friends being killed or kidnapped. This study aims to longitudinally examine its effects on mental health, specifically, clinical symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We anticipated greater symptom severity among individuals who experienced traumatic loss, were forcibly displaced, or suffered income loss, as well as among women and members of ethnic minorities.

Dengue remains a significant public health concern in Brazil, with all federative units registering occurrences of the disease within their territories despite constant measures to control the Aedes aegypti vector. This study aimed to evaluate the profile of notified dengue cases in the Brazilian Legal Amazon from 2001 to 2021, analyzing National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) data on the disease to assess the risks for its occurrence. Subsequently, statistical analyses were conducted to identify incidence and lethality rates.
