    Abstract Common dysglycemia measurements including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived 2 h plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) have limitations for children. Dynamic OGTT glucose and insulin responses may better reflect underlying physiology. This analysis assessed glucose and insulin curve shapes utilizing classifications-biphasic, monophasic, or monotonically increasing-and functional principal components (FPCs) to predict future dysglycemia. The prospective cohort included 671 participants with no previous diabetes diagnosis (BMI percentile ≥ 85th, 8-18 years old); 193 returned for follow-up (median 14.5 months). Blood was collected every 30 min during the 2 h OGTT. Functional data analysis was performed on curves summarizing glucose and insulin responses. FPCs described variation in curve height (FPC1), time of peak (FPC2), and oscillation (FPC3). At baseline, both glucose and insulin FPC1 were significantly correlated with BMI percentile (Spearman correlation r = 0.22 and 0.48), triglycerides (r = 0.30 and 0.39), and HbA1c (r = 0.25 and 0.17). In longitudinal logistic regression analyses, glucose and insulin FPCs predicted future dysglycemia (AUC = 0.80) better than shape classifications (AUC = 0.69), HbA1c (AUC = 0.72), or FPG (AUC = 0.50). Further research should evaluate the utility of FPCs to predict metabolic diseases.

    Abstract IntroductionTail biting is a widespread problem in pig production systems and has a negative impact on both animal welfare and farm income. This explorative study aims to validate how tail biting is related to general behaviors at the individual level and explore whether these behaviors are related to a particular type of tail biting: two-stage, sudden-forceful, obsessive, or epidemic.MethodsThis research was conducted in a standard commercial setting where 89 tail-docked pre-finishing piglets divided into 8 groups were observed 4 days per week from 5 to 8 weeks of age. Each piglet was observed for a total of 160 min using continuous focal sampling. Ten individual behaviors were recorded based on the general behaviors expected to be linked to giving tail biting (PCA1), receiving tail biting (PCA2), and tail biting damage (PCA3). These PCAs were assembled and related to tail biting given, tail biting received, and tail biting lesions.ResultsTail biting did not lead to major damage on the piglets' tail at 8 weeks of age but was observed 420 times, where most of the individuals (72%) were categorized as “biters and victims.” When relating PCA1 with tail biting given, piglets that gave more tail biting showed more “active exploration.” When relating PCA2 with tail biting received, piglets receiving more tail biting were more “explored while active” and “attacked and explored.” When relating PCA2 with tail biting lesions, piglets presenting lesions showed more “agonism.” Surprisingly, tail biting lesions were not significantly related to PCA3. The relationship between explorative behaviors and tail biting indicates that the pre-damage stage of two-stage tail biting was the predominant tail biting type, while the damaging stage was likely incipient. The relationship between tail biting and aggression, as well as the minor tail lesions observed suggest that sudden-forceful tail biting was probably present even though it was rarely seen. Obsessive and epidemic tail biting were not observed.DiscussionThis study ...

    Abstract Objective: Social functioning is an important factor in the evaluation of postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for pituitary adenoma patients. In a prospective cohort study multidimensional HRQoL of non-functioning (NFA) and functioning (FA) pituitary adenoma patients were evaluated following endoscopic endonasal surgery using the endoscopic endonasal sinus and skull base surgery questionnaire (EES-Q).
    Methods: Prospectively, 101 patients were included. The EES-Q was completed preoperatively and postoperatively (2 weeks, 3 months, 1 year). Sinonasal complaints were completed daily during the first week postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative scores were compared. A generalized estimating equation (uni- and multivariate) analysis was performed to identify significant HRQoL changes related to selected covariates.
    Results: Two weeks postoperatively, physical (
    Conclusions: The EES-Q provides meaningful information on multidimensional HRQoL to improve patient-centred health care. Social functioning remains the most difficult area in which to achieve improvements. Despite the relatively modest sample size, there is some indication that the FA group continues to show a downward trend (and thus improvement) even after 3 months, when most other parameters reach stability.
    Level of evidence: Level II-B.

    Abstract Family Group Conferencing is a new decision model to assign caring responsibilities among various actors in society, including the client, social networks, and professionals. The process of Family Group Conferencing in coercive psychiatry is delicate; nevertheless, it paves the way for courageous conversation, and it facilitates ownership over the problematic situation and the formation of a partnership. Different actors co-construct an open and new actuality by taking initiative during and after the Family Group Conference, by confronting each other; by sharing information about the situation and so forming a partnership. Family Group Conferencing requires a change in thinking and doing of mental health professionals that is close to nursing; instead of focusing on the treatment of individual clients, they support primary groups to deal with the situation at hand.

    Abstract Introduction: Test performance screening measures for dysglycemia have not been evaluated prospectively in youth. This study evaluated the prospective test performance of random glucose (RG), 1-h nonfasting glucose challenge test (1-h GCT), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine (FA), and 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) for identifying dysglycemia.
    Methods: Youth ages 8-17 years with overweight or obesity (body mass index, BMI, ≥85th percentile) without known diabetes completed nonfasting tests at baseline (n = 176) and returned an average of 1.1 years later for two formal fasting 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests. Outcomes included glucose-defined dysglycemia (fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg/dL or 2-h plasma glucose ≥140 mg/dL) or elevated HbA1c (≥5.7%). Longitudinal test performance was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calculation of area under the curve (AUC).
    Results: Glucose-defined dysglycemia, elevated HbA1c, and either dysglycemia or elevated HbA1c were present in 15 (8.5%), 11 (6.3%), and 23 (13.1%) participants at baseline, and 16 (9.1%), 18 (10.3%), and 28 (15.9%) participants at follow-up. For prediction of glucose-defined dysglycemia at follow-up, RG, 1-h GCT, and HbA1c had similar performance (0.68 (95% CI: 0.55-0.80), 0.76 (95% CI: 0.64-0.89), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.56-0.84)), while FA and 1,5-AG performed poorly. For prediction of HbA1c at follow-up, baseline HbA1c had strong performance (AUC 0.93 [95% CI: 0.88-0.98]), RG had moderate performance (AUC 0.67 [95% CI: 0.54-0.79]), while 1-h GCT, FA, and 1,5-AG performed poorly.
    Conclusion: HbA1c and nonfasting glucose tests had reasonable longitudinal discrimination identifying adolescents at risk for dysglycemia, but performance depended on outcome definition.

    Abstract Background: Recovery is a journey not only of personal change but also of social reengagement. It underlines the essence of social environments that are supportive to the recovery of people with ongoing mental health issues. The process of recovery also affects other actors, and likewise these actors exert their influence on the recovery of their family member or friend.
    Objective: Since 2009, we have been studying whether the decision-making model called family group conferencing (FGC) helps mental health clients increase their self-reliance. The essence of FGC is that individuals who experience problems have the opportunity to develop a plan together with people from their social network. Clients in mental health have to deal with different forms of disempowerment, especially when they are threatened with compulsory measures. It is an aim to help them regain ownership over their problems as well as over the potential solutions.
    Method: From 2011 to 2013, we evaluated 41 family group conferences that were organized for clients in a public mental health care setting in the north of the Netherlands. Each conference was analyzed in a qualitative case study framework.
    Results: This article highlights two case portraits. It gives insight into how ownership was restored and what this meant regarding clients' recovery process.
    Conclusion: FGC seems a promising tool to shift the attention from disorders and inabilities to capacities and the rediscovery of social resources.

    Abstract Background: Testicular cancer (TC) survivors cured with chemotherapy (CT) are prone to develop cardiovascular diseases, as part of an accelerated aging phenotype. A mechanism contributing to these events can be telomere shortening.
    Patients and methods: In a prospective cohort of patients with disseminated TC who received cisplatin-based CT, mean absolute leukocyte telomere length (TL) was measured before and 1 year after start of treatment. Cardiovascular risk factors, including development of the metabolic syndrome and hypogonadism, were assessed before and up to 5 years after CT.
    Results: For the whole group (n = 55), TL did not change 1 year after CT (5.7 (2.2-13.4) vs. 5.8 kb (1.6-19.2), P = 0.335). At baseline, patients with a BMI >30 kg/m
    Conclusions: A small subset of TC patients treated with cisplatin-based CT showed telomere shortening 1 year after treatment. This shortening was associated to a rise in diastolic blood pressure and triglycerides, but not to newly developed metabolic syndrome and hypogonadism after 5 years.

    Abstract In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) of intermediate-risk (IR) in first remission (CR1) with no measurable residual disease (MRD negative), the choice of the best consolidation is questionable. 1122 adult patients from 196 centers, transplanted in 2010-21 were analyzed: 547 received an autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and 575 a Haploidentical donor transplant. Because of a significant interaction, comparisons were done separately for patients with wild-type FLT3 (FLT3-wt) and FLT3-ITD mutation (FLT3-ITD). In FLT3-wt patients, haploidentical transplants had two year lower relapse incidence (RI) (16.9% versus 32.6%; HR = 0.40, p < 0.001), higher NRM higher (17.2% vs 3.5%; HR = 7.02, p < 0.001), similar LFS (65.9% vs 63.8%; p = 0.37) and lower OS (73.2% vs 80.6%; HR = 1.69, p = 0.018). In FLT3-ITD patients, haploidentical transplants had two year lower RI (8.2% vs 47.8%; HR = 0.14, p < 0.001) higher NRM (20.2% vs 5.6%; HR = 3.43, p = 0.002), better LFS (71.5% vs 46.6%; HR = 0.53, p = 0.007) and similar OS (73.5% vs 61.9%; p = 0.44). In IR AML patients with FLT3-wt in MRD negative CR1, autologous stem cell transplantation is a valid option, while in patients with FLT3-ITD, haploidentical transplant is better. Whether autologous transplantation is superior to chemotherapy in FLT3-wt patients and the role of maintenance therapy with FLT3 inhibitors remain to be studied.

    Abstract Background: Therapeutic strategies for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are based on patient- and disease-related factors in combination with drug characteristics but fail to predict success in individual patients. A considerable proportion of UC patients do not respond to the biological vedolizumab. Therefore, pretreatment biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy are urgently needed. Mucosal markers related to the integrin-dependent T lymphocyte homing could be potent predictors.
    Methods: We prospectively included 21 biological- and steroid-naive UC patients with moderate-to-severe disease activity planned to escalate therapy to vedolizumab. At week 0, before initiating treatment, colonic biopsy specimens were obtained for immunophenotyping and immunohistochemistry. Clinical and endoscopic disease activity were determined at week 16 after 4 infusions of vedolizumab. In addition, we retrospectively included 5 UC patients who were first treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor α before receiving vedolizumab to compare with biological-naive patients.
    Results: Abundance of α4β7 on more than 8% of all CD3+ T lymphocytes in colonic biopsies at baseline was predictive for responsiveness to vedolizumab (sensitivity 100%, specificity 100%). The threshold for the proportion of MAdCAM-1+ and PNAd+ of all venules in the biopsies predictive for responsiveness to vedolizumab was ≥2.59% (sensitivity 89%, specificity 100%) and ≥2.41% (sensitivity 61%, specificity 50%), respectively. At week 16, a significant decrease of α4β7+CD3+T lymphocytes was demonstrated in responders (18% [12%-24%] to 8% [3%-9%]; P = .002), while no difference was seen in nonresponders (4% [3%-6%] to 3%; P = .59).
    Conclusions: UC responders to vedolizumab have a higher percentage of α4β7+CD3+ T lymphocytes and a higher proportion of MAdCAM-1+ venules in colonic biopsies than nonresponders before initiating therapy. Both analyses could be promising predictive biomarkers for therapeutic response and may lead to more patient tailored treatment in the future.
