Abstract	Brain aging and common conditions of aging (e.g., hypertension) affect networks important in organizing information, processing speed and action programming (i.e., executive functions). Declines in these networks may affect timing and could have an impact on the ability to perceive and perform musical rhythms. There is evidence that participation in rhythmic musical activities may help to maintain and even improve executive functioning (near transfer), perhaps due to similarities in brain regions underlying timing, musical rhythm perception and production, and executive functioning. Rhythmic musical activities may present as a novel and fun activity for older adults to stimulate interacting brain regions that deteriorate with aging. However, relatively little is known about neurobehavioral interactions between aging, timing, rhythm perception and production, and executive functioning. In this review, we account for these brain-behavior interactions to suggest that deeper knowledge of overlapping brain regions associated with timing, rhythm, and cognition may assist in designing more targeted preventive and rehabilitative interventions to reduce age-related cognitive decline and improve quality of life in populations with neurodegenerative disease. Further research is needed to elucidate the functional relationships between brain regions associated with aging, timing, rhythm perception and production, and executive functioning to direct design of targeted interventions.

Article ; Online: Clinical Characteristics in Early Childhood Associated with a Nevus-Prone Phenotype in Adults from Tropical Australia

Ramez Barsoum / Simone L. Harrison

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 17, Iss 8680, p

Two Decades of Follow-Up of the Townsville Preschool Cohort Study

2020 Volume 8680

Abstract: ... residents of Townsville (19.16° S, Queensland, Australia) had full-body nevus-counts aged 1–6 and 21–31 ...

Abstract	Having numerous melanocytic nevi increases melanoma risk. Few studies have enumerated nevi in children and re-examined them as adults. We aimed to determine if childhood nevus-counts predict nevus-prone adults, and further explore the relevance of host-factors and sun-exposure. Fifty-one Caucasian residents of Townsville (19.16° S, Queensland, Australia) had full-body nevus-counts aged 1–6 and 21–31 years-old. Sun-exposure was determined from questionnaires. Children in the upper-quartile of nevus-counts acquired nevi more rapidly than those in the bottom-quartile (13.3 versus 4.7 nevi/year; p < 0.0005). Children sunburnt before 7 years-old acquired more incident nevi by adulthood (238 versus 126, p = 0.003) particularly if sunburn was severe (321 versus 157.5, p = 0.003) or erythema occurred annually (380 versus 132, p = 0.008). Fair-skinned, freckled children with some nevi ≥ 3 mm, solar lentigines, or a family history of melanoma acquired more incident nevi than children without these attributes. Nevus-prone adults exhibit distinguishing features earlier in life (<7 years-old in Queensland) than has been shown previously. In addition to intervening with sun-protection counselling early enough to reduce risk, being able to reliably triage children into high- and low melanoma-risk groups may inform more efficacious and cost-effective targeted-screening in melanoma-prone populations. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm that these attributes can reliably separate risk-groups.

Abstract	Glomerulonephritis (GN) still enjoys a high rank as a cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. Its burden is particularly manifest in disadvantaged populations, with a proportional contribution up to 6-folds compared to that in the USA. There are several overlapping risk factors that render a particular population "disadvantaged" in this respect. It is envisaged that these may be categorized into a triad of genetic, climatic and socioeconomic factors. An attempt is made to dissect the impact of each of these factors, which combine in different proportions in different populations thereby explaining regional disparity in the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and outcomes of CKD. The genetic impact is manifest in racial variations in the incidence of GN as a whole, the predominance of FSGS mainly in blacks and IgA nephropathy in Asians, the increased susceptibility to SLE and decreased incidence of IgAN and vasculitis in blacks, with similar trends in other "subraces" as Indians, Afro-Caribbean's, Martinique and other indigenous populations. The climatic impact is mainly displayed in the tropics, where the "rich bioecological environment" increases the incidence of infection-associated GN, usually proliferative with a few exceptions. The socioeconomic impact, reflecting low national economy in the developing world, modifies the two other arms of the triad according to the level of primary care, efficiency of the referral system and adequate management of primary infections as well as associated glomerular injury.

Abstract	Abstract Background Acute or chronic obstruction of the urinary tract can be due to a lot of different causes. Patients with pyonephrosis usually complain of a triad of fever, loin pain and elevated white blood cell count in cases of acute obstruction; and they may also have hypotension in severe cases of the disease. These patients have to be treated with appropriate decompression, or they may develop septic shock. The urgency of the need for treatment greatly depends on the differentiation between hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis. There is a lack of reliable clinical prognosticators of pyonephrosis in patients with obstructive hydronephrosis. Hounsfield unit (HU) measurement is considered as an adequate predictor of pyonephrosis and may aid in the diagnosis and management of this disease that may be fatal. The use of HU values in differentiation between pyonephrosis from hydronephrosis depends on the fact that the pyonephrotic fluid contains infected material, urine, cellular particles and microorganisms, which when combined can increase the HU values on a computed tomography (CT) study. This study was done to assess the diagnostic value of the HU measured CT in differentiation between hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis. Results Thirty-nine patients were included in this study. All patients had loin pain and were diagnosed with pelvicalyceal dilatation by ultrasonographic examination. They then underwent non-contrast CT examination. Using CT scan, the degree of PC dilatation was significantly higher among hydronephrosis group as hydronephrosis group had 63.1% severe dilatation of PCs versus 30.8% in pyonephrosis group with p value 0.0001. Pelvic wall thickness > 2 mm was reported in 10 (76.9%) patients of pyonephrosis group versus in three (7.9%) patients among hydronephrosis group with p value 0.0001. The mean Hounsfield units were significantly higher among pyonephrosis group compared to hydronephrosis group (16 ± 5.2 versus 1.7 ± 5.5) with p value 0.0001. Sensitivity analysis showed that Hounsfield units can ...

Abstract	Powdery mildews are obligate biotrophic fungal pathogens causing important diseases of plants worldwide. Very little is known about the requirements for their pathogenicity at the molecular level. This is largely due to the inability to culture these organisms in vitro or to modify them genetically. Here, we describe a mutagenesis procedure based on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to accumulate mutations in the haploid genome of the barley powdery mildew pathogen

Abstract	Introduction and objectives: The outcomes of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with the Watchman device in octogenarians are unknown as this population was underrepresented in major clinical trials. This study aims at examining the causes and outcomes of readmission after LAAO. Design: A retrospective cohort study based on the National Readmission Database in the United States. Settings and participant: Patients aged ≥80 years, admitted between January 2016 and December 2018, with the primary diagnosis of atrial fibrillation or flutter or who had LAAO were included in the study. Patients who died during index admission were excluded. Methods: We used the National Readmission Database and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes to identify study participants. Data analysis was performed through Stata, version 17. Univariate and multivariate aggression analysis was used to adjust for confounders using Student t tests and χ Results: We identified 491,329 patients on anticoagulation (AC) and 2030 patients who underwent LAA closure. Neither group differed regarding hypertension, previous myocardial infarction, or valvular heart disease. All-cause readmissions were lower in the LAAO group at 45 days (adjusted P < .01). All-cause readmissions at 45 and 90 days were similar in both groups. There was an increase in gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) readmissions in the LAAO at 45 (P < .01), 90 (P < .01), and 180 (P < .01) days. There was no difference in GIB readmission between the 2 groups. There was no also difference in stroke or intracranial hemorrhage rates between the 2 groups throughout the follow-up period. Conclusion and implications: In octogenarians who received LAAO, the rate of GIB increased during the first 6 months after the procedure; however, it was not different from that of AC after that. Special attention should be given to the antithrombotic regimens after LAAO to avoid bleeding in this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract	Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare disease that is associated with dangerous dormant complications. It is associated with atherosclerotic heart disease in half of the cases during a coronary angiogram. Currently, there are no guidelines for the management of such cases. We present a case of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a male patient who was found to have diffuse aneurysmal dilation of the coronary arteries along with 100% occlusion of the right coronary artery. The complexity of the lesions caused him not to be a candidate for either percutaneous or surgical intervention. This raises an important question regarding treatment options in such a rare case.

Abstract	Immunotherapies and targeted therapies have shown significant benefits for melanoma survival in the clinical trial setting. Much less is known about the characteristics and associated outcomes of those receiving such therapies in real-world settings. This study describes the characteristics of patients with advanced melanoma receiving immuno- and/or targeted therapies in a real-world setting. This prospective cohort study enrolled participants aged >18 years, diagnosed with advanced melanoma and currently undergoing immuno- and/or targeted therapies outside a clinical trial for follow-up with three-dimensional (3D) total-body imaging. Participants (n = 41) had a mean age of 62 years (range 29−86), 26 (63%) were male and the majority (n = 26, 63%) had ≥2 comorbidities. After a median of 39 months (range 1−52) follow-up, 59% (n = 24/41) of participants were alive. Despite multiple co-morbidities, the survival of participants with advanced melanoma treated using immuno- and/or targeted therapies was similar or better in our real-world setting compared to those treated in clinical trials using similar therapies. Larger studies powered to evaluate phenotypic and socio-economic characteristics, as well as specific comorbidities associated with survival in a real-world setting, are required to help determine those who will most benefit from immuno- and/or targeted therapies.
