Data was collected about 49 newly diagnosed cases of SSPE in the years 1993-1995 in Poland. In the analyzed period of time a falling of tendency the incidence of SSPE was maintained. Overall incidence--0.42 per million population, was lower than the incidence in years 1990-1992, when it was 0.72. The tendency of a shift towards older age group was maintained--the peak incidence was observed among 19 year olds, as opposed to 15 year olds in the previous analyzed time period. The authors explain the dropping SSPE incidence in Poland with a drop in measales incidence, which is a consequence of growing measles vaccine coverage rates. The influence of a big measles epidemic which occurred in 1989-1990 on a potential rise in number of SSPE cases has not been noted, but further observations are needed.

Extracellular Vesicle-Encapsulated microRNAs and Respiratory Health Among American Indian Participants in the Strong Heart Study.
Chest
January 2025
Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, New York, NY.
Background: American Indian populations have experienced marked disparities in respiratory disease burden. Extracellular vesicle-encapsulated microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) are a novel class of biomarkers that may improve recognition of lung damage in indigenous populations in the United States.
Research Question: Are plasma EV-miRNAs viable biomarkers of respiratory health in American Indian populations?
Study Design And Methods: The Strong Heart Study is a prospective cohort study that enrolled American Indian patients aged 45 to 74 years.
Associations of Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus With Vascular and Valvular Calcification: The ARIC Study.
JACC Adv
July 2024
Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Background: High dietary calcium and phosphorus may accelerate vascular calcification, but epidemiological data are inconsistent. Most of those studies assessed diet at one point and have not been systematically evaluated.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the associations of dietary calcium and phosphorus intakes in middle age with coronary artery and extra-coronary calcification at older age.
Article Synopsis
- Plasma biomarkers may help identify Alzheimer’s disease and the need for further research across diverse populations and age groups.
- The study involved 1,525 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, measuring biomarkers in midlife and late life to assess changes and associations with dementia.
- Results showed a decline in the Aβ42:Aβ40 ratio and increases in p-tau181, neurofilament light (NfL), and GFAP, indicating a link between these changes and the development of dementia in the participants.
Chronological alterations in de novo malignancies after living-donor liver transplantation: A cohort study of 1781 recipients using annual comparisons of standardized incidence ratios.
J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci
July 2024
Division of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery and Transplantation, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: De novo malignancies (DNMs) are a major adverse event after solid organ transplantation; however, their characteristics and recent trends after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remain unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1781 primary LDLT recipients (1990-2020) and annually calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of DNMs compared to the age-adjusted Japanese general population.
Results: After 21 845 person-years follow-up, 153 DNM lesions (8.
Importance: Heart failure (HF) and frailty frequently coexist and may share a common pathobiology, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding these mechanisms may provide guidance for preventing and treating both conditions.
Objective: To identify shared pathways between incident HF and frailty in late life using large-scale proteomics.
