>objective: Cognitive dysfunction is a common symptom of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). Few studies have examined rates and predictors of cognitive performance validity test (PVT) failure in patients seeking treatment for PCC.

>methods: We report the rates of PVT failure in 323 patients who received care in a long-COVID-19 clinic for any post-COVID-19 health concern and underwent routine telephone cognitive testing that included two embedded PVTs. Binary logistic regressions examined the demographic, illness, and psychological variables associated with PVT failure.

>results: The prevalence of single PVT failure ranged from 4.7% to 26.1% whereas failure on both PVTs occurred in just 6.3%. Illness characteristics, subjective cognitive dysfunction, and most demographic and psychological variables were unrelated to single PVT failure. Males and those with anxiety were more likely to fail both PVTs.

>conclusion: Failure across multiple PVTs was not common and was unrelated to COVID-19 severity or cognitive complaints.

Article Synopsis
  • Knee pain often involves varus deformity and unicompartmental osteoarthritis, where high tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) has emerged as an effective treatment option to delay joint replacement.
  • A case report highlighted two patients with bilateral knee arthritis who underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy using Dr. Saigal's plate, both achieving good range of motion and minimal complications post-surgery.
  • Comprehensive evaluations, including radiological assessments and specific surgical techniques like the Miniaci Method, were employed to ensure successful outcomes, with both patients showing significant improvement after one year.

Recreational and Occupational Physical Activity and Risk of Adverse Events in Truncating Founder Variant Carriers.

Circ Genom Precis Med

December 2024

Department of Cardiology (M.J., L.P.B., A.F.S., D.v.d.S., A.S.J.M.t.R.), University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, the Netherlands.

Background: founder variants cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure and malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Exercise is typically regarded as a risk factor for disease expression although evidence is conflicting. Stratifying by type of exercise may discriminate low- from high-risk activities in these patients.

Introduction: Presence of macroscopic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been found to be a major poor prognosis characteristic.

Aims: To examine patients with PVT for their clinical characteristics and factors related to both PVT and to survival.

Methods: A large HCC database containing 1094 patients with PVT and 2513 patients without PVT was examined.

Article Synopsis
  • * Analysis involved 2,431 cases and 1,265 healthy controls, revealing that individuals with the MTHFR variant had a significantly higher risk for conditions like respiratory distress, recurrent pregnancy loss, and intellectual disabilities.
  • * The MTHFR TT-genotype specifically indicated a high risk of abnormal phenotypes, emphasizing the importance of this genetic variant in neurodevelopmental and other health-related outcomes.
