Unlabelled: This study describes the characteristics of 337 patients seen by the fracture liaison service of the Amiens University Hospital for at least two osteoporotic fractures between 2009 and 2019. Results showed that recurrent fracture occurs rapidly after the index fracture. Rheumatological and therapeutic managements are not sufficient, mainly because of cognitive disorders or patients' refusal.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of patients taken in charge by a fracture liaison service and sustaining a recurrent osteoporotic fracture.
Methods: This was a retrospective and monocentric study based on the dataset of patients included in the FLS of the Department of Rheumatology of the Amiens University Hospital. To be included in the study cohort, patients must have had at least two consecutive osteoporotic fractures between January 2009 and December 2019.
Results: Three hundred thirty-seven patients were included. The mean age at index fracture was 77.3 ± 12.5 years. Eighty-four percent of the patients were women. 89.3% of the patients had a Charlson comorbidity index between 1 and 4. Nearly half of the patients had cognitive disorders. Femoral neck was the most frequent site for both index and recurrent fractures. Thirty-seven percent of patients benefited from a consultation in Rheumatology after their index fracture. The main reasons for the lack of follow-up were cognitive disorders and patient rejection.
Conclusion: Our study showed that recurrent fracture occurs rapidly after the index fracture and that rheumatological and therapeutic managements are not sufficient, mainly because of cognitive disorders or patients' refusal impairing the patients to benefit from specialized management.

While impaired response inhibition has been reported in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), findings in disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have been inconsistent, probably due to unaccounted effects of co-occurring ADHD in DBD. This study investigated the associations of behavioral and neural correlates of response inhibition with DBD and ADHD symptom severity, covarying for each other in a dimensional approach. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were available for 35 children and adolescents with DBDs (8-18 years old, 19 males), and 31 age-matched unaffected controls (18 males) while performing a performance-adjusted stop-signal task.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by systemic inflammation. While RA primarily affects the joints, its systemic effects may lead to an increased cerebro- and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events and serves as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.

Despite significant progress in understanding the factors influencing cognitive function in Parkinson's disease (PD), there is a notable gap in data representation for the Latinx population. This study aims to evaluate the contributors to and disparities in cognitive performance among Latinx patients with PD. A retrospective analysis was conducted based on cross-sectional data encompassing demographic, environmental, motor, and non-motor disease characteristics from the Latin American Research Consortium on the Genetics of PD (LARGE-PD) and the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) cohorts.

Introduction: Young-onset neurocognitive symptoms result from a heterogeneous group of neurological and psychiatric disorders which present a diagnostic challenge. To identify such factors, we analysed the Biomarkers in Younger-Onset Neurocognitive Disorders cohort, a study of individuals <65 years old presenting with neurocognitive symptoms for a diagnosis and who have undergone cognitive and biomarker analyses.
Methods: Sixty-five participants (median age at assessment of 56 years, 45% female) were recruited during their index presentation to the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuropsychiatry Centre, a tertiary specialist service in Melbourne, Australia, and categorized as either early-onset Alzheimer's disease ( = 18), non-Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration ( = 23) or primary psychiatric disorders ( = 24).

Background: Fear of cats as a specific phobia disorder can cause disruption in some aspects of the affected people's lives. On the other hand, due to the fact that the two approaches of metacognitive treatment and behavioral therapy methods such as virtual reality are considered common treatment methods in anxiety disorders; It seems that it is necessary to examine the two approaches based on the effectiveness, durability and cost-benefit issue to present and introduce to therapists.
Methods: The present study was a Randomized Clinical Trial study that was conducted on 28 patients with Ailurophobia.
