Germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in CBL are found in 15 % of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) cases. Here we report three siblings with CBL(NM_005188):c.1111T>C variation presenting a heterogenous JMML clinic and outcome. The index case was diagnosed at the age of seven, whereas the younger brother was 10 months old and the youngest was one month old. The hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was successful for the index and the youngest brother with event-free survival, but the middle brother showed severe graft versus host disease. This study shows the heterogeneity of JMML and how the outcome might differ even within the family.

Statistical inference on change points in generalized semiparametric segmented models.
Biometrics
January 2025
Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, China.
The segmented model has significant applications in scientific research when the change-point effect exists. In this article, we propose a comprehensive semiparametric framework in segmented models to test the existence and estimate the location of change points in the generalized outcome setting. The proposed framework is based on a semismooth estimating equation for the change-point estimation and an average score-type test for hypothesis testing.

J Med Internet Res
March 2025
Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Hypertension is a major global health issue and a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, contributing to a substantial socioeconomic burden due to its high prevalence. In China, particularly among populations living near desert regions, hypertension is even more prevalent due to unique environmental and lifestyle conditions, exacerbating the disease burden in these areas, underscoring the urgent need for effective early detection and intervention strategies.
Objective: This study aims to develop, calibrate, and prospectively validate a 2-year hypertension risk prediction model by using large-scale health examination data collected from populations residing in 4 regions surrounding the Taklamakan Desert of northwest China.
Patient Eczema Education Pictorial Study (PEEPS): A Pilot Investigation.
J Cutan Med Surg
March 2025
Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada.
Background: For optimal control of atopic dermatitis (AD), patient education is essential to complement traditional therapy. Patient education has proven to benefit AD outcomes, but previous methods of delivery are costly and time-consuming.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a one-page pictorial education tool at improving AD quality of life (QoL) and disease severity.
Demystifying Meckel's diverticulum - a guide for the gastroenterologist.
Curr Opin Gastroenterol
March 2025
Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
Purpose Of Review: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital ileal diverticulum. Whilst mostly asymptomatic, 4-9% develop complications, such as small bowel obstruction, diverticulitis or bleeding. In 1933, Charles Mayo wrote that MD is 'frequently suspected, often looked for and seldom found', and it continues to pose a diagnostic challenge today.

Curr Opin Support Palliat Care
March 2025
Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre, University of Hull, Hull, East Yorkshire, UK.
Purpose Of The Review: This review summarises high-level evidence for fan therapy and adds a commentary on the relatively-neglected question of how to optimise benefits based on qualitative evidence, clinical experience and broader research and theory.
Recent Findings: Recent high-level evidence suggests the fan reduces time to recovery from episodic breathlessness rather than reduces daily levels over a longer period. Lower grade evidence suggests the fan can also help people increase their physical activity.
