    Abstract Objective: To assess the feasibility of using biomechanical gait balance measures, the frontal and sagittal plane center of mass (COM)-Ankle angles, to prospectively predict recurrent falls in community-dwelling older adults.
    Design: A cohort study with a 1-year longitudinal follow-up. Logistic regression was used to test the ability of the COM-Ankle angles to predict prospective falls.
    Setting: General community.
    Participants: Sixty older adults over the age of 70 years were recruited using a volunteer sample.
    Interventions: Not applicable.
    Main outcome measure(s): Biomechanical balance parameters: the sagittal and frontal plane COM-Ankle angles during the sit-to-walk and turning phases of the timed Up and Go test. The COM-Ankle angles are the inclination angles of the line formed by the COM and lateral ankle (malleolus) marker of the stance foot in the sagittal and frontal planes. We also included the following clinical balance tests in the analysis: Activity-Specific Balance Confidence, Berg Balance Scale, Fullerton Advanced Balance scale, and timed Up and Go test. Their abilities to predict falls served as a reference for the biomechanical balance parameters.
    Results: When the biomechanical gait balance measures were added to all the confounders, the explained variance was increased from 25.3% to 50.2%. Older adults who have a smaller sagittal plane COM-Ankle angle at seat-off, a greater frontal plane COM range of motion during STW and a smaller frontal plane angle during turning were more likely to become recurrent fallers.
    Conclusion(s): Our results indicated that dynamic biomechanical balance parameters could provide valuable information about a participant's future fall risks beyond what can be explained by demographics, cognition, depression, strength, and past fall history. Among all biomechanical parameters investigated, frontal plane COM motion measures during STW and turning appear to be the most significant predictors for future falls.

    Abstract Rationale: Disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) include a diverse group of congenital conditions in which the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is discordant. It involves several variant genes, and one of them is NR5A1. NR5A1 encodes a signal transduction regulator in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal pathway, and pathogenic mutation in this gene is a cause of 46,XY DSD.
    Patient concerns: A 12-year-old individual raised as a girl was admitted to the hospital due to hirsutism and a deep voice that began at 11 years old. The individual exhibited testicular hypoplasia, clitoral hypertrophy, and female external genitalia.
    Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed 46,XY partial gonadal dysgenesis. The cytogenetics revealed a 46,XY karyotype and DNA sequencing shown a variant in NR5A1. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed absence of uterus and ovaries. The abdominopelvic ultrasound revealed bilateral testicle in bilateral groin. Pathology confirmed testes dysgenesis.
    Interventions: The patient underwent bilateral orchiectomy at age 12 years and was given a feminizing hormonal treatment of 0.5 mg/day of estradiol valerate tablets.
    Outcomes: The patient recovered well after surgery and hormonal treatment and had a regression in hirsutism and clitoromegaly.
    Lessons: 46,XY DSD is a rare disease that the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is discordant, when diagnosed 46,XY DSD, the identification of an NR5A1 variant should be considered.

    Abstract Background: Although the paradoxical association between obesity and improved survival has been reported in a variety of clinical settings, its applicability to intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes in older critically ill patients remains unclear. We sought to examine the association between obesity and 30-day mortality and other adverse outcomes in this population.
    Methods: We analyzed data of older patients (≥ 60 years) in the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Body mass index (BMI) was stratified according to the World Health Organization obesity classification. Logistic regression model was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs), and cubic spline curve was used to explore the nonlinear association between BMI and 30-day ICU outcomes. Stratified analysis and sensitivity analysis were also performed.
    Results: Compared with class I obesity, under- and normal-weight were associated with higher all-cause, cardiovascular and noncardiovascular mortality, and class III obesity was associated with greater all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (OR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.06-1.32], 1.28 [1.08-1.51]). Obesity classes II and III were associated with higher composite all-cause mortality, mechanical ventilation, or vasoactive drug usage risks (OR, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.04-1.20], 1.33 [1.24-1.43]). Mechanical ventilation was strongly positively associated with BMI. A significant BMI-by-sex interaction was observed for cardiovascular mortality, such that the association between severe obesity and mortality was more pronounced among older men than older women.
    Conclusions: The obesity paradox does not appear to apply to short-term ICU outcomes in older patients with critical illness, mainly due to increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in severely obese patients, particularly in men.
