BACKGROUND: A cricopharyngeal bar refers to a radiological description of a prominent cricopharyngeal muscle. While these may be incidental, they can lead to significant oropharyngeal dysphagia due to incoordination of the upper esophageal sphincter and true luminal narrowing. Various treatments have been used for the management of cricopharyngeal bar, including botulinum toxin injection, dilation, and surgical myotomy. Cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic myotomy (C-POEM) is a novel procedure that uses the principles of "third-space" endoscopy to treat symptomatic cricopharyngeal bar...

INTRODUCTION: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic nephropathy and has striking familial variability of disease severity. METHODS: To better comprehend familial phenotypic variability, we analyzed clinical and pedigree data on 92 unrelated ADPKD kindreds with ≥2 affected individuals ( N = 292) from an Irish population. All probands underwent genetic sequencing. Age at onset of kidney failure (KF), decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), predicting renal outcome in polycystic kidney disease (PROPKD) score, and imaging criteria were used to assess and grade disease severity as mild, intermediate, or severe...

Isolated traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) on head computed tomography (CT) scan is often regarded as a "mild" injury, with reduced need for additional workup. However, tSAH is also a predictor of incomplete recovery and unfavorable outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of CT-occult intracranial injuries on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in TBI patients with emergency department (ED) arrival Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score 13-15 and isolated tSAH on CT...

CONTEXT: The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a common assessment used to determine biomechanical landing errors. However, this assessment is completed as a single motor task, which does not require additional attentional resources. It is unclear if the LESS can be used to detect cognitive-motor interference (i.e., dual-task cost) in biomechanical errors associated with lower extremity injury. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the LESS is a suitable clinical assessment of dual-task performance in uninjured females and to evaluate whether specific landing criteria are more affected by an additional cognitive load than others...

BACKGROUND: Focal chondral defects are often treated with cartilage restoration procedures. Malalignment often accompanies chondral defects. High tibial osteotomy (HTO), classically utilized to treat uni-compartmental knee osteoarthritis, corrects malalignment. HTO combined with cartilage restoration procedures can treat uni-compartmental osteoarthritis and focal chondral defects. PURPOSE: To assess outcomes of combined HTO and cartilage restoration procedures and review prognostic factors that may assist in preoperative planning and patient counseling...

Nearly two hundred common-variant depression risk loci have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, the impact of rare coding variants on depression remains poorly understood. Here, we present whole-exome sequencing analyses of depression with seven different definitions based on survey, questionnaire, and electronic health records in 320,356 UK Biobank participants. We showed that the burden of rare damaging coding variants in loss-of-function intolerant genes is significantly associated with risk of depression with various definitions...

BACKGROUND: Both genetic variants and epigenetic features contribute to the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the AD association of CpG-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (CGS), which act as the hub of both the genetic and epigenetic effects, in Hispanics decedents and generalized the findings to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) decedents. METHODS: First, we derived the dosage of the CpG site-creating allele of multiple CGSes in each 1 KB window across the genome and we conducted a sliding window association test with clinical diagnosis of AD in 7,155 Hispanics (3,194 cases and 3,961 controls) using generalized linear mixed models with the adjustment of age, sex, population structure, genomic relationship matrix, and genotyping batches...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. While the largest published genome-wide association study identified 64 BD risk loci, the causal SNPs and genes within these loci remain unknown. We applied a suite of statistical and functional fine-mapping methods to these loci, and prioritized 22 likely causal SNPs for BD. We mapped these SNPs to genes, and investigated their likely functional consequences by integrating variant annotations, brain cell-type epigenomic annotations, brain quantitative trait loci, and results from rare variant exome sequencing in BD...

This study aimed to investigate alternative approaches to a cumulative risk score in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and crime. Using data from the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort (n = 3236), we measured 12 ACEs up to 15 years, and past-year violent and non-violent crime at 22 years. We used four analytical approaches: single adversities, cumulative risk, latent class analysis, and network analysis. When examined individually, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and domestic violence were associated with both crime outcomes, whereas maternal mental illness and discrimination were associated with violent crime only, and parental divorce and poverty with non-violent crime only...

Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor outcomes and resistance to therapy. The addition of venetoclax, a BCL-2 antagonist, to lower-intensity therapies results in improved survival in the first-line setting compared to monotherapy with a hypomethylating agent or low-dose cytarabine. Despite this, much remains unknown about the performance of venetoclax with a hypomethylating agent following the first-line setting. Additionally, while the ELN 2022 guidelines appear to improve the prognostication of AML, clarification is needed to determine how the revision applies to lower-intensity strategies...

BACKGROUND: Smoking is an established risk factor for postoperative complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is unknown if the decreasing prevalence of adult smoking in the United States is reflected in the elective THA patient population. We aimed to investigate recent trends in: (1) the prevalence of smoking pre-THA, stratified by patient demographics; and (2) rates of 30-day complications and increased healthcare utilisation post-THA in smokers versus non-smokers. METHODS: Patients who underwent primary elective THA (2011-2019) were identified using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database...
