Congenital heart diseases are the most frequent birth defects, and one of the main causes of perinatal morbidity and death. Early diagnosis allows a timely treatment and improves the patients' prognosis. Early detection includes screening studies during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, a neonatal complete clinical examination and the neonatal pulse oximetry test. The aim of this consensus is to present recommendations for early detection and diagnosis of congenital heart disease.

Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710061, China.
To analyze a novel intronic variant in the SPTB gene and explore its effect on SPTB mRNA splicing. Clinical data of a child diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University in February 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Whole genome sequencing was used to identify disease-causing mutations and the results were validated with Sanger sequencing, mRNA sequencing was used to determine the SPTB gene's mRNA expression level, and bioinformatics tools were used for splicing site prediction and analysis.

With an aging global population, the number of older adults with age-related changes in the brain, including dementia, will continue to increase unless we can make progress in the early detection and treatment of such conditions. There is extensive literature on the effects of aging on the EEG, particularly a decline in the Peak Alpha Frequency (PAF), but here, in a reversal of convention, we used the EEG power-frequency spectrum to estimate chronological age. The motivation for this approach was that an individual's brain age might act as a proxy for their general brain functioning, whereby a discrepancy between chronological age and EEG age could prove clinically informative by implicating deleterious conditions.

Introduction: Delay in detecting acute deterioration in older adults in care homes is associated with avoidable hospitalizations and adverse outcomes, including premature death.
Objective: Underpinned by the Knowledge to Action Framework, this study aimed to understand the barriers and enablers to direct care staff detecting and responding to the early signs of acute deterioration in care home residents.
Study Design: Online focus groups or interviews with regulated (registered and enrolled nurses) and unregulated (assistants in nursing and personal care workers) direct care staff from participating care homes were conducted.
