Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are early-onset conditions that cause intractable seizures and developmental delays. Missense variants in Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) subunits commonly cause DEEs. Ahring et al. (2022) showed a variant in the gene that encodes the delta subunit (GABRD) is strongly associated with the gain-of-function of extrasynaptic GABAAR. Here, we report the generation of two patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) lines with (i) a de novo variant and (ii) a maternal variant, both for the pathogenic GABRD c.872 C>T, (p.T291I). The variants in the generated cell line were corrected using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technique (respective isogenic control lines).

Next Generation Phenotyping and Synthetic Faces in Coffin Siris Syndrome.
Clin Genet
December 2024
Imagine Institute, Paris, France.
Diagnostic wandering and delayed management are major issues in rare diseases. Here, we report a new Next-Generation Phenotyping (NGP) model for diagnosing Coffin Siris syndrome (CSS) on clinical photographs among controls and distinguish the different genotypes. This retrospective and prospective study, conducted from 1998 to 2023, included frontal and lateral pictures of confirmed CSS.

Department of Surgery II, Vascular and Transplantation Surgery, University Hospital Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate patency outcomes of arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) before and after using Duplex doppler ultrasonography (DUS) in preoperative mapping and surveillance of AVG.
Methods: In this single-centre, retrospective cohort study 212 patients receiving AVGs from January 2009 to December 2022 were included. In group 1, the creation of AVG as well as screening was based on physical examination alone.
Manual versus reciprocating endodontic debridement of equine cheek teeth: Micro-computed tomography findings.
Equine Vet J
December 2024
Department of Large Animal Surgery, Anaesthesia and Orthopaedics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: In orthograde endodontic treatments, different methods are available to debride the pulp canals of endodontically compromised equine cheek teeth, but their efficacy is unknown.
Objectives: To explore and compare the efficacy and anatomical changes caused by manual versus reciprocating filing techniques in equine cheek teeth, to explore the presence of instrumentation mishaps described in human dentistry and to explore anatomical complexities of the pulp cavity that often remain uninstrumented using microcomputed tomography (μCT).
Study Design: Ex-vivo randomised experiments.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetic ketoacidosis and insulin-dependent diabetes: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
December 2024
Emergency Medicine, Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, Canada.
Background: Immunotherapy, including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as nivolumab, is increasingly common in cancer treatment and can lead to various immune-related adverse effects, including rare cases of diabetic ketoacidosis. This case report highlights an unique instance of nivolumab-induced diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient without prior history of diabetes, emphasizing the importance of careful monitoring even in those without traditional risk factors.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 70-year-old Caucasian male with metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma who developed diabetic ketoacidosis 3 weeks after stopping nivolumab therapy.
Factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion after total hip arthroplasty in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a retrospective study on 538 consecutive hips.

Department of Orthopeadics, the First Medical Centre, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: This study aimed to report the mid-term functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of advanced hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify the factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion (ROM) after THA in patients with AS.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated the mid-term functional outcomes in 313 AS patients (538 hips) who underwent primary THA from 2012 to 2017, with a mean follow-up of 7 years (range, 4-9 years). Postoperative functional outcomes were assessed by hip flexion ROM, Harris hip score (HHS), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
