Our first objective was to compare the prevalence of symptomatic disorders (formerly Axis I disorders) over 24 years of prospective follow-up among patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other personality disordered comparison subjects as well as recovered vs nonrecovered borderline patients. Our second objective was to assess the relationship between the absence of 5 major classes of symptomatic disorders over time and the likelihood of concurrent recovery among borderline patients. The McLean Study of Adult Development (MSAD) is a naturalistic prospective follow-up study of 362 inpatients assessed at 12 contiguous 2-year follow-up waves. Symptomatic disorders were assessed at each follow-up using the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I Disorders. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess all outcomes. Data were collected from June 1992 to December 2018. Patients with BPD had significantly higher rates of all 5 types of disorders studied than comparison subjects. However, the prevalence of these disorders declined significantly over time at similar rates for both study groups. This finding was similar for recovered and nonrecovered borderline patients. When the absence of these types of comorbid disorders was used to predict recovery status, substance use disorders were a substantially stronger predictor of recovery than the other 4 classes of disorders (relative risk ratio: 2.53, < .001). The results of this study suggest that symptomatic disorders co occur less commonly with BPD over time, particularly for recovered borderline patients. They also suggest that the absence of substance use disorders is the strongest predictor of achieving recovery from BPD.

Outcomes of a Population-Based Congenital Cytomegalovirus Screening Program.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: Detection of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection has previously relied on targeted screening programs or clinical recognition; however, these approaches miss most cCMV-infected newborns and fail to identify those infants who are asymptomatic at birth but at risk for late-onset sensorineural hearing loss.
Objective: To determine the feasibility of using routinely collected newborn dried blood spots (DBS) in a population-based cCMV screen to identify infants at risk for hearing loss and describe outcomes of infants screened.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This diagnostic study of a population-based screening program in Ontario, Canada, took place from July 29, 2019, to July 31, 2023.
Prourokinase vs Standard Care for Patients With Mild Ischemic Stroke: The PUMICE Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Importance: Trials have not demonstrated superiority of alteplase or tenecteplase vs standard care in patients with mild stroke and have raised safety concerns. Prourokinase is an alternative fibrinolytic that may have a favorable safety profile, and the benefit-risk profile of prourokinase in mild stroke is unknown.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of prourokinase in mild ischemic stroke within 4.
C-Reactive Protein Changes in Adult and Pediatric People With Cystic Fibrosis During Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations.
Pediatr Pulmonol
January 2025
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Objective: Although studies have examined changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) during pulmonary exacerbations (PEX) in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), few have evaluated CRP profiles across age groups. Here, we characterize age-related CRP responses to PEX treatment.
Methods: We measured CRP concentrations at the beginning and end of intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy for PEX in 100 pediatric and 147 adult PwCF at 10 US CF Centers.
Role of Exercise Stress Echocardiography in Systemic Sclerosis: Pathophysiological and Prognostic Significance of the Systemic Sclerosis with a Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction Phenotype.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Gunma, Japan.
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.
Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.
Evaluation of circadian rhythm and prognostic variability pre-and post-CEA or CAS treatment in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Vascular Neurosurgery, New Era Stroke Care and Research Institute, The PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center, Beijing, China.
Objective: Carotid artery stenosis, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are established interventions to reduce stroke risk and restore cerebral blood flow. However, the effect of these treatments on circadian rhythms, and their influence on stroke recovery, remains underexplored.
