    Abstract The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults (CRCYAs) is increasing globally, and it is now the third leading cause of cancer death among young adults under 50 years old. The rising incidence is attributed to various emerging risk factors such as genetics, lifestyle factors, and microbiome profiles. Delayed diagnosis and more advanced disease presentation contribute to worse outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach to care is crucial to ensure comprehensive and personalized treatment plans for CRCYA.

    Abstract Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) utilizing maximum-intensity projection (MIP) was suggested as a cost-effective alternative tool without the risk of gadolinium-based contrast agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether DWI MIPs played a supportive role in young (≤60) patients with marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI). The research included 1303 patients with varying degrees of BPE, and correlations between BPE on CE-MRI, the background diffusion signal (BDS) on DWI, and clinical parameters were analyzed. Lesion detection scores were compared between CE-MRI and DWI, with DWI showing higher scores. Among the 186 lesions in 181 patients with marked BPE on CE-MRI, the main lesion on MIPs of CE-MRI was partially or completely seen in 88.7% of cases, while it was not seen in 11.3% of cases. On the other hand, the main lesion on MIPs of DWI was seen in 91.4% of cases, with only 8.6% of cases showing no visibility. DWI achieved higher scores for lesion detection compared to CE-MRI. The presence of a marked BDS was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of a higher DWI score (

    Abstract Myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) is a heterogeneous group of myeloid neoplasms affected by germline and somatic genetic alterations. The incidence of MDS increases with age but rarely occurs at a young age. We investigated the germline and somatic genetic alterations of Korean patients with young-onset MDS (<40 years). Among the thirty-one patients, five (16.1%) had causative germline variants predisposing them to myeloid neoplasms (three with

    Abstract Infection of the respiratory tract with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is common and occurs repeatedly throughout life with most severe disease occurring at the extremes of age: in young infants and the elderly. Effective anti-viral therapeutics are not available and therefore prevention has been the primary strategy for reducing the disease burden. Our current understanding of respiratory mucosal cell biology and the immune response within the respiratory tract is inadequate to prevent infection caused by a pathogen like RSV that does not disseminate outside of this environment. Gaps in our understanding of the activation of innate and adaptive immunity in response to RSV and the role of age upon infection also limit improvements in the design of therapeutics and vaccines for young infants. However, advancements in structural biology have improved our ability to characterize antibodies against viral proteins and in 2023 the first vaccines for those over 60 years and pregnant women became available, potentially reducing the burden of disease. This review will examine our current understanding of the critical facets of anti-RSV immune responses in infants and young children as well as highlight areas where more research is needed.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to examine whether cumulative exposure to hypertriglyceridemia is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in young adults.
    Methods: The study included 1,840,251 participants aged 20-39 years who had undergonefourconsecutiveannualhealth checkups and had no history of type 2 diabetes. Participants werecategorized into five groups (exposure score 0-4) based on the frequencies of hypertriglyceridemia diagnosis over a four-year period. The primary outcome was newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Exploratory analyses were performed for the different subgroups.
    Results: During a follow-up period of 6.53 years, 40,286 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes significantly increased with higher exposure scores for hypertriglyceridemia (log-rank test, P < 0.001). The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for incident diabetes were 1.674 (95 % CI, 1.619, 1.732), 2.192 (95 % CI, 2.117, 2.269), 2.637 (95 % CI, 2.548, 2.73), and 3.715 (95 % CI, 3.6, 3.834) for participants with scores of 1-4, respectively, compared with those with an exposure score of 0.
    Conclusions: In this large-scale prospective cohort study of young adults, cumulative exposure to hypertriglyceridemia was significantly associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, independent of lifestyle-related factors.

    Abstract: ... evidence of rapid glaucoma progression in the young adulthood and stabilization in older age in myopic NTG ...

    Abstract We aimed to investigate the age-related glaucoma progression rates in myopic normal tension glaucoma (NTG). In this long-term retrospective cohort (7.2 ± 3.5 years), we grouped patients based on their age at initial presentation: group A (age < 30 years, 60 eyes), group B (30 ≤ age < 40, 66 eyes), and group C (40 ≤ age < 50 years, 63 eyes). We used a linear mixed-effects model to estimate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect width enlargement rates. Group A showed a significantly faster rate of RNFL defect progression (3.01 ± 1.74°/year) than those of groups B and C (2.05 ± 1.55°/year and 2.06 ± 1.29°/year, P = 0.004 and 0.002). The difference was more marked when calculated for the first 10 years of follow-up in group A, B, and C (3.95 ± 2.70°/year, 2.39 ± 1.64°/year, and 1.98 ± 1.31°/year), and between the periods of age < 30 years, 30 ≤ age < 40 years, and 40 ≤ age < 50 years within group A. This is the first evidence of rapid glaucoma progression in the young adulthood and stabilization in older age in myopic NTG. Clinicians should consider the potentially aggressive course of glaucoma, especially in younger patients with myopic NTG, in contrast to the general slow progression in adulthood.

    Abstract: ... to the development of a substantive theory of the experience of gynecologic cancer in young women, which has been ... to help young women with gynecologic cancer adapt to their disease. ...

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to understand the experiences of women under 40 years of age with gynecologic cancer.
    Methods: Semi-structured individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 Korean female patients aged 21~39 years with gynecologic cancer. The data were analyzed using Corbin and Strauss' grounded theory approach, including open coding, context analysis, and integrating categories.
    Results: Grounded theory analysis revealed nine categories and a core category of 'the journey to find my life after losing the life as a typical woman.' The categories that emerged as the conditions are 'Unwelcomed guest, cancer,' 'Completely devastated life as an ordinary woman,' 'Uncertain future,' 'Losing my physical characteristics as a woman,' and 'Life tied with treatments.' The actions/interactions were'Decrease of interpersonal relationships,' 'A lonely battle to overcome alone,' and 'The power to overcome hardships.' The consequence was 'Live my own life.'
    Conclusion: This study contributes to the development of a substantive theory of the experience of gynecologic cancer in young women, which has been on the rise in recent years. The study's results are expected to be used as a basis for providing nursing care to help young women with gynecologic cancer adapt to their disease.

    Abstract Objective: Aim: The purpose of the article is to form the parameters of vitamin D status in young children in the ethnic group of Kazakh nationality with the factor of highlighting the necessary recommendations for the prevention of hypovitaminosis D.
    Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: Methods for the study of the highlighted problem are the diagnosis of young children in the parameter of clinical and anamnestic research, which includes the collection of anamnestic data of children of Kazakh nationality within the framework of the identified data based on a questionnaire of parents, an evaluation component in the child's health factor at the level of his initial state, and laboratory analysis to determine 25(OH)D to identify the content of vitamin D using the method of electrochemiluminescent immunoassay.
    Results: Results: Analysis of vitamin D levels revealed significant differences among age groups. In the 0-28-day group, average vitamin D was 13.35 ng/ml, with 92.8% deficient. In the 1-6-month group, it was 21.47 ng/ml, with 84% deficient. In the over 6-month group, it was 33.58 ng/ml, with 40% sufficient. Formula-fed children had the lowest levels (average 15.21 ng/ml), while breastfed children had insufficiency (average 23.91 ng/ml). Children with vitamin D supplementation averaged 25.9 ng/ml, compared to 19.01 ng/ml without supplementation.
    Conclusion: Conclusions: The results point to a widespread deficiency of vitamin D and offer practical recommendations for its prevention, such as creating a unified system of timely diagnosis, implementing preventive measures in pregnant women and young children, including a balanced diet enriched with vitamin D, staying outdoors in the bright hours of the day.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical presentation and features in electrodiagnostic and imaging investigations of young South Korean males diagnosed with Hirayama disease (HD).
    Methods: We reviewed the electronic medical records of South Korean enlisted soldiers who were diagnosed with HD and discharged from military service during 2011-2021. We investigated the clinical characteristics and results of electrodiagnostic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations. We analyzed laterality and identified the involved muscles using needle electromyography (EMG). Loss of lordosis, localized cervical cord atrophy, loss of attachment between the posterior dura and subjacent lamina, asymmetric flattening of the cord, crescent-shaped mass in the posterior epidural space, and noncompressive intramedullary T2-weighted high signal intensity were investigated using neutral- or flexion-position MRI.
    Results: Forty-two male patients aged 20.2±0.8 years (mean±standard deviation) were identified. All patients complained of hand weakness, and 10 complained of hand tremor (23.8%). Four patients (9.5%) had symptoms in both upper limbs, and five (11.9%) had sensory disturbances. Needle EMG revealed that muscles in the C7-T1 myotome were commonly involved, and C5-C6 involvement of the deltoid (10.5%) and biceps brachii (12.5%) was also observed. In cervical MRI, localized cord atrophy (90.0%) was the most characteristic finding, and cord atrophy was most severe at the C5-C6 level (58.3%).
    Conclusions: This is the first description of a large number of patients with HD in South Korea. The clinical presentation and features found in electrodiagnostic and imaging investigations will improve the understanding of HD in the young South Korean male population.
