    Abstract: ... older people, but adds little to Charlson's 30-day inpatient mortality risk. ...

    Abstract Objective: The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) can be applied to medico-administrative datasets to determine the risks of 30-day mortality and long length of stay (LOS) in hospitalized older patients. The objective of this study was to compare the HFRS with Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity indices, used separately or combined.
    Design: A retrospective analysis of the French medical information database. The HFRS, Charlson index, and Elixhauser index were calculated for each patient based on the index stay and hospitalizations over the preceding 2 years. Different constructions of the HFRS were considered based on overlapping diagnostic codes with either Charlson or Elixhauser indices. We used mixed logistic regression models to investigate the association between outcomes, different constructions of HFRS, and associations with comorbidity indices.
    Setting: 743 hospitals in France.
    Participants: All patients aged 75 years or older hospitalized as an emergency in 2017 (n=1,042,234).Main outcome measures: 30-day inpatient mortality and LOS >10 days.
    Results: The HFRS, Charlson, and Elixhauser indices were comparably associated with an increased risk of 30-day inpatient mortality and long LOS. The combined model with the highest c-statistic was obtained when associating the HFRS with standard adjustment and Charlson for 30-day inpatient mortality (adjusted c-statistics: HFRS=0.654; HFRS + Charlson = 0.676) and with Elixhauser for long LOS (adjusted c-statistics: HFRS= 0.672; HFRS + Elixhauser =0.698).
    Conclusions: Combining comorbidity indices and HFRS may improve discrimination for predicting long LOS in hospitalized older people, but adds little to Charlson's 30-day inpatient mortality risk.

    Abstract The developmental process establishes the foundation upon which natural selection may act. In that same sense, it is inundated with numerous constraints that work to limit the directions in which a phenotype may respond to selective pressures. Extreme phenotypes have been used in the past to identify tradeoffs and constraints and may aid in recognizing how alterations to the Baupläne can influence the trajectories of lineages. The Bramidae, a family of Scombriformes consisting of 20 extant species, are unique in that five species greatly deviate from the stout, ovaloid bodies that typify the bramids. The Ptericlinae, or fanfishes, are instead characterized by relatively elongated body plans and extreme modifications to their medial fins. Here, we explore the development of Bramidae morphologies and examine them through a phylogenetic lens to investigate the concepts of developmental and evolutionary constraints. Contrary to our predictions that the fanfishes had been constrained by inherited properties of an ancestral state, we find that the fanfishes exhibit both increased rates of trait evolution and differ substantially from the other bramids in their developmental trajectories. Conversely, the remaining bramid genera differ little, both among one another and in comparison, to the sister family Caristiidae. In all, our data suggest that the fanfishes have broken constraints, thereby allowing them to mitigate trade-offs on distinctive aspects of morphology.

    Abstract Objectives: 40% of dementia cases can be prevented by addressing 12 lifestyle factors. These risk factors have increased presence in ethnic minorities, yet dementia prevention messages have not reached these communities. This article investigates the experience of co-designing a dementia prevention animated film with 9 ethnic groups in Australia.
    Methods: Evidence-based recommendations were adapted through an iterative process involving workshops with a stakeholder advisory committee and nine focus groups with 104 participants from the Arabic-, Hindi-, Tamil-, Cantonese-, Mandarin-, Greek-, Italian-, Spanish-, and Vietnamese-speaking communities. Data were analyzed using the Normalization Process Theory.
    Results: Cultural adaptation involves consideration of the mode of delivery, imagery and tone of the resource being developed; ensuring cultural adequacy; anticipating the need of the end-users; and managing linguistic challenges associated with working across multiple languages.
    Conclusions: Learnings from this co-design process offer valuable insights for researchers and program developers who work with ethnic minority groups.
    Clinical implications: • Adaptation across cultures and languages is a negotiation not a consensus building exercise• Linguistic adaptation requires consideration of the education levels, and linguistic and intergenerational preferences of community members• Co-designing across multiple languages and cultures risks "flattening out" key aspects of cultural specificity.

    Abstract Background: Individuals with Huntington's disease (HD) experience motoric, cognitive, and psychiatric dysfunction. These difficulties can cause maladaptive behaviors that can be very distressing to family and caregivers. Capturing these behaviors in clinical and research settings is crucial.
    Objectives: To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument that is brief, yet comprehensive, in assessing a broad range of behaviors in HD.
    Methods: A pool of 30 items encompassing common behaviors in HD was generated. Items were scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from completely disagree to completely agree, with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction. The self-report measure was piloted on a small sample of individuals with HD. Reliability (test-retest, internal consistency) and validity (convergent, discriminant, criterion) were evaluated.
    Results: The HD-Behavioral Questionnaire (HD-BQ) demonstrated evidence for reliability with a test-retest correlation coefficient of
    Conclusions: The HD-BQ, a patient self-report measure, was created to more fully explore behavioral issues that people with HD experience in response to limitations of commonly used instruments in the field. Psychometric evidence supports that the HD-BQ is a valid and reliable instrument for the brief, yet comprehensive, assessment of problematic behaviors in HD.
