Article Abstract
Analysis of sectional schedules and autopsy protocols for 1,061 persons who died of tuberculosis in Saint Petersburg in 1984-1991 has provided data on the age and sex distribution of the victims, the distribution of various types of tuberculosis as the underlying or concomitant disease, on the incidence and pattern of its complications, concurrent and competitive abnormalities and the causes of death. Comparison of previous results of the previous studies made regularly since 1981 has revealed stable and labile statistical parameters that characterize the evolution of tuberculosis as a disease, its pathomorphism in Saint Petersburg over the past century.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses significant health risks for HIV-positive individuals, prompting the need for a risk score model to identify those at greater risk and guide treatment decisions concerning nephrotoxic antiretrovirals.
- A study involving 17,954 HIV-positive participants established a risk score based on factors like age, drug use, and overall health, finding that older and less healthy individuals face higher CKD risk.
- The model demonstrated a gradient of risk, indicating that those with low risk had a 1:393 chance of developing CKD in 5 years, whereas medium and high-risk groups faced chances of 1:47 and 1:6, respectively.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to clarify the role of (G4C2)n expansions in the etiology of Parkinson disease (PD) in the worldwide multicenter Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO-PD) cohort.
Methods: C9orf72 (G4C2)n repeats were assessed in a GEO-PD cohort of 7,494 patients diagnosed with PD and 5,886 neurologically healthy control individuals ascertained in Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia.
Results: A pathogenic (G4C2)n>60 expansion was detected in only 4 patients with PD (4/7,232; 0.
