    Abstract Unstable gamma globin variants can cause transient neonatal hemolytic anemia. We have identified a novel variant in a newborn who presented with jaundice and anemia requiring phototherapy and red blood cell transfusion. The patient was found to be heterozygous for the mutation HGB2:c.290T>C, p.Leu97Pro, which we have termed hemoglobin (Hb) Wareham. This substitution is expected to generate an unstable hemoglobin with increased oxygen affinity based on the homologous mutation previously described in the beta globin gene, which is termed as Hb Debrousse. The patient fully recovered by 9 months of age as expected with the transition from fetal to adult hemoglobin.

    Abstract Individuals with schizophrenia suffer from higher morbidity and mortality throughout life partly due to acceleration of aging-related diseases and conditions. Systemic inflammation is a hallmark of aging and is also observed in schizophrenia. An improved understanding of how inflammation and accelerated aging contribute to long-term health outcomes in schizophrenia could provide more effective treatments to preserve long-term cognitive and physical function. In this pilot cross-sectional study, 24 older adults (≥55 years old) with schizophrenia were assessed on symptoms (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), neurocognition (Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery), mobility (Timed Get Up and Go), and general health (SF-12). Serum levels of 112 different cytokines were measured, from which we derived estimated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) scores for each participant. Two-tailed Pearson's bivariate correlations were computed to test the associations between schizophrenia clinical outcomes with individual cytokines, and SASP. Higher levels of eotaxin, IL-1α, IL-1β, and IFNα are associated with both worse PANSS negative and depressive symptoms scores. IL-1α and IL-1β negatively associated with general physical health whereas eotaxin negatively associated with mobility and global cognition. Overall, we found that specific inflammatory cytokines, but not composite measurements of SASP, are associated with clinical outcomes in older adults with schizophrenia.

    Abstract Concerns have been raised regarding potential weaker vaccine immunogenicity with higher immune suppression for individuals with pre-existing mental disorders. Yet, data on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations among this vulnerable population are limited. A case-control study was conducted to investigate the risks of COVID-19-related hospitalisation and mortality among individuals with mental disorders following one to three doses of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac vaccinations in Hong Kong. Data were extracted from electronic health records, vaccination and COVID-19 confirmed case records. Conditional logistic regression was applied with adjustment for comorbidities and medication history. Subgroup analyses were performed with stratification: by age (< 65 and ≥ 65) and mental disorders diagnosis (depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder). Two doses of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac significantly reduced COVID-19-related hospitalisation and mortality. Further protection for both outcomes was provided after three doses of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac. The vaccine effectiveness magnitude of BNT162b2 was generally higher than CoronaVac, but the difference diminished after the third dose. Individuals with mental disorders should be prioritised in future mass vaccination programmes of booster doses or bivalent COVID-19 vaccines. Targeted strategies should be developed to resolve the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy among this population and increase their awareness on the benefits of vaccination.
