Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the cumulative effect regarding the family history of cardiovascular disease and smoking on ischemic stroke events in population with Mongolian ethnicity.
Methods: Based on data gathered from the baseline investigation, a 10-year prospective cohort follow-up project was conducted among 2 589 participants with Mongolian ethnicity. Ischemic stroke events were defined as the outcomes of the study. All the 2 589 participants were categorized into four subgroups: without family history of cardiovascular disease/nonsmokers, without family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers, with family history of cardiovascular disease/nonsmokers and with family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers, according to family history of cardiovascular disease and smoking status. Cumlative incidence rates of events among the four subgroups was described with Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of ischemic stroke events among the four subgroups.
Results: Data from the Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative incidence rates of ischemic stroke were 1.17% (15/1 278), 3.83% (37/967), 5.70% (9/158) and 8.33% (15/180) for the groups of no family history of cardiovascular disease/nonsmokers, no family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers, with family history of cardiovascular disease/nonsmokers and with family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers, respectively. By cox proportional hazards model, after adjusting for age, male, drinking status, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol factors, the HRs (95% CI) of ischemic stroke were 2.26 (1.19-4.28) and 2.45 (1.13-5.33) in the no family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers group, with family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers group when compared to the no family history of cardiovascular disease/nonsmokers group, respectively. The risk of ischemic stroke appeared the highest in the group with family history of cardiovascular disease/smokers (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: Smoking may increase the risk of ischemic stroke events among the population with family history of cardiovascular disease.

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Rize, TURKIYE.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the genetic heterogeneity of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) and assess potential genetic variants contributing to its etiology.
Materials And Methods: A total of 92 children aged 5-15 years with a positive family history of PMNE were evaluated. All patients underwent detailed urological and nephrological assessments to exclude organic causes.

Psychotic-like experiences in adolescents enriched for high-risk for developing severe mental illness: change over two-years and associations with neural reward processing and affective symptoms.

Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) -subclinical experiences or symptoms that resemble psychosis, such as hallucinations and delusional thoughts-often emerge during adolescence and are predictive of serious psychopathology. Understanding PLEs during adolescence is crucial due to co-occurring developmental changes in neural reward systems that heighten the risk for psychotic-related and affective psychopathology, especially in those with a family history of severe mental illness (SMI). We examined associations among PLEs, clinical symptoms, and neural reward function during this critical developmental period.

Aims: To identify risk factors for hyperglycemia in emergency department visits within 1 year following type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, electronic medical record data from 3333 adult patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes across 57 primary care clinics in West Michigan between April 2021 and January 2023 were analyzed. The primary outcome was hyperglycemia at ED encounters within 12 months of diagnosis.
