Unlabelled: Chronic gastritis (CG) was diagnosed in 38 of 130 children with abdominal pain treated between 1980-1982. After eleven years, 20 of the 38 patients with CG were re-examined clinically and gastroscopically. Six gastric biopsies for hitopathological examination and two for CLO tests in each patient were taken. In 13 of 20 additional staining for H. pylori was done in the biopsy specimens take 11 years ago. In 95% (19 of 20) patients, CG and H. pylori infection were found. Thirteen of them (all examined) had already been infected with HP in childhood. Gastritis had progressed or remained unchanged in 90% (17 of 19) patients in the corpus and in 75% (15 of 20) in the antrum. All 6 patients who had duodenal ulcers (DU) in childhood had recurrences of DU. Thirty-one percent (4/13) of patients with persisting CG that had no ulcers previously, now had DU or erosions. All 19 patients with CG and HP infection received triple therapy. In 6 of 7 those regression or disappearance of CG and HP eradication were seen re-examined.

Conclusions: CG which began in childhood progresses or persists until adulthood in all H. pylori - positive patients. We suggest that children with H. pylori-positive CG should receive anti-H. pylori treatment.

Violence experience, interpersonal and community-level, is commonly reported by people living with HIV (PLWH). Understanding the impact of the various forms of violence on HIV outcomes is critical for prioritizing violence screening and support resources in care settings. From February 2021 to December 2022, among 285 PLWH purposively sampled to attain diversity by gender, race/ethnicity, and HIV care retention status in Atlanta, Georgia, we examined interpersonal and community violence experiences and proxy measures of violence (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression) and their associations with HIV outcomes (engagement and retention in care and HIV viral suppression) using multivariable analysis.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack, New Jersey.

Background: The elderly US population is growing quickly and staying active longer. However, there is limited information on sports-related injuries in older adults.

Hypotheses: (1) National estimate and incidence of sports-related orthopaedic injuries in the US elderly population have increased over the last 10 years, (2) types and causes of sports-related injuries in the elderly have changed, and (3) elderly sports-related injuries will increase more than the number of treating physicians by 2040.

Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and may cause fever, nausea, headache, or meningitis. It is currently unclear whether the epidemiological characteristics of the JEV have been affected by the extreme climatic conditions that have been observed in recent years.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiological characteristics, trends, and potential risk factors of JE in Taiwan from 2008 to 2020.

INSERM U1064, CR2TI - Center for Research in Transplantation and Translational Immunology, Nantes University, 30 Bd Jean Monnet, Nantes, 44093, France, 33 2 40 08 74 10.

Precision medicine involves a paradigm shift toward personalized data-driven clinical decisions. The concept of a medical "digital twin" has recently become popular to designate digital representations of patients as a support for a wide range of data science applications. However, the concept is ambiguous when it comes to practical implementations.

Use of the FHTHWA Index as a Novel Approach for Predicting the Incidence of Diabetes in a Japanese Population Without Diabetes: Data Analysis Study.

JMIR Med Inform

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.

Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.
