Article Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious and understudied mental health condition associated with profound personal and public health consequences. Methodological differences in characterizing BPD may limit understanding the scope of the disorder's prevalence and effect. For example, using different diagnostic rules for BPD can affect apparent prevalence, comorbidity, and clinical presentation. This study examined how differences in diagnostic rules used to assign BPD diagnosis impacted its prevalence and associations with clinically relevant variables (e.g., demographics, comorbidity, treatment-seeking). Participants were a nationally representative sample of 36,309 noninstitutionalized U.S. adults. All variables were assessed via clinical interview (Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-5). Six diagnostic rules determined BPD status. We used frequencies to examine prevalence rates of and associations between BPD and other clinical variables, and logistic regressions to examine the associations between each BPD variable and the other outcomes. The prevalence of BPD ranged widely-from 0.5% to 11.4%-per the diagnostic rule used. Associations between BPD diagnosis and various outcomes and clinical variables generally remained stable across all diagnostic rules, though effects became more extreme as diagnostic rules became more restrictive. Additionally, meaningful differences emerged as a function of the number of items used (30 vs. 18 items) even with no other changes to diagnostic rules. The field examining BPD and associated problem behaviors should critically consider how to most effectively characterize BPD to understand these problems more accurately and optimize the generalizability of findings.

Availability of benign missense variant "truthsets" for validation of functional assays: Current status and a systematic approach.

Multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) provide promising new sources of functional evidence, potentially empowering improved classification of germline genomic variants, particularly rare missense variants, which are commonly assigned as variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). However, paradoxically, quantification of clinically applicable evidence strengths for MAVEs requires construction of "truthsets" comprising missense variants already robustly classified as pathogenic and benign. In this study, we demonstrate how benign truthset size is the primary driver of applicable functional evidence toward pathogenicity (PS3).

From the American Hip Institute Research Foundation (Dr. Quesada-Jimenez, Dr. Kahana-Rojkind, and Dr. Domb), and the American Hip Institute, Chicago, IL (Dr. Domb).
Hip pain after a total hip arthroplasty is a prevalent condition. Once aseptic loosening and infection have been ruled out, the possible entities are vast. Accurate diagnosis in this patient population is challenging because they might present in different stages of their recovery process and the potential overlap of some conditions.

Accurate timing estimates of when participants acquire HIV in HIV prevention trials are necessary for determining antibody levels at acquisition. The Antibody-Mediated Prevention (AMP) Studies showed that a passively administered broadly neutralizing antibody can prevent the acquisition of HIV from a neutralization-sensitive virus. We developed a pipeline for estimating the date of detectable HIV acquisition (DDA) in AMP Study participants using diagnostic and viral sequence data.

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a type of vasculitis that affects small vessels and is commonly associated with infections, malignancies, drugs, and autoimmune diseases. In this case, a 75-year-old female patient presented with clinical signs of LCV, and after ruling out common etiologies, hydatid disease (HD) emerged as a potential cause. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections, particularly HD, in the differential diagnosis of LCV, especially in regions where these infections are endemic and in patients exposed to relevant environmental risk factors.

Introduction: Adverse reactions to iodinated contrast media (ICM) are very common due to its widespread use. Despite the fact that overall incidence of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to ICM is low, the risk of severe outcomes needs a careful patient evaluation and management.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective epidemiological study that included patients referred to our Allergy Unit for suspected allergy to ICM in whom we carried out a protocolized allergic study based on skin and drug provocation tests (DPT).
