Background: Previous studies have identified considerable health outcome disparities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as well as poor or ineffective communication between adults with IDD and their medical providers.
Methods: Using National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data, this paper uses logistic regression to estimate disparities in healthcare communication and satisfaction between adults with IDD, adults with non-IDD disabilities, and adults with no reported disabilities, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Communication quality is measured with survey questions about whether medical providers are respectful, ask for patients' opinions, and offer understandable medical information.
Results: We identified sizeable disparities in communication quality and satisfaction between adults with non-IDD disabilities and no reported disabilities. Adults with IDD experienced significantly lower odds of receiving understandable information compared to adults with no reported disabilities. There are suggestive evidence that adults with IDD have lower odds of being satisfied with healthcare, having their opinion asked, and feeling respected.
Conclusions: There are healthcare communication and satisfaction disparities between adults with and without IDD or other disabilities. Future research should characterise the size and exact nature of these disparities in communication quality and satisfaction for those with IDD. These findings can inform interventions and trainings to improve communication quality and satisfaction for those with all forms of disability.

Background: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) require appropriate and adequate services and support to maximize their skills, live independently, and participate in a community. When they receive adequate care and family support, individuals with IDD can potentially live at home instead of availing themselves of alternative care, particularly institutional care.
Objective: This national study examines the social support and services available to both young adults with IDD and their families in Saudi Arabia, perceived individual outcomes, and satisfaction with the currently available services.

Serum urate (SU) levels are significantly elevated in conditions such as gout, type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and other metabolic syndromes. Recently, due to the high prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA), numerous clinical connections between SU and musculoskeletal disorders like sarcopenia, osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), and osteoporosis (OP) have been identified. This review discusses the mechanisms linking SU to musculoskeletal disorders, as well as the clinical associations of SU with conditions such as sarcopenia, T2D with sarcopenia, McArdle disease, heart failure, gout, OA, IDD, OP and exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI), offering valuable insights for improved prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective: This study investigates the correlation between magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters and biochemical composition in degenerative intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissue, offering a potential reference for the clinical diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of intervertebral disc degeneration.
Methods: Human lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissue samples were collected via full endoscopic minimally invasive surgery. DTI was employed to quantitatively measure fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the degenerative nucleus pulposus, examining the relationship between Pfirrmann grading and these DTI parameters.

Intervertebral disc degeneration disease (IDD) is one of the leading causes of disability, and current therapies are ineffective. Phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) plays essential roles in regulating the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. However, whether PDE4B or NLRP3 is involved in the development of IDD is unclear.
