Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to employ echocardiography for measuring the markers of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function to investigate the effects of family history of gout on the LV diastolic function in patients with primary gout.
Methods: Two hundred and eighty-four patients with primary gout who visited the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from September 2020 to July 2022 were selected and their family history of gout, general information, and laboratory markers were recorded. Parameters of LV diastolic function were measured via echocardiography. The correlation between family history and LV diastolic function markers was analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses.
Results: LV diastolic function parameters, peak early mitral diastolic velocity (E)/peak late mitral diastolic velocity (A), and early septal mitral annulus diastolic motion velocity (Sepe'), early lateral mitral annulus diastolic motion velocity (Late') and their mean (e'), were significantly lower in patients with familial primary gout, while left atrial volume index (LAVI) and E/e' were markedly elevated in patients with sporadic primary gout. In patients with family history, the proportion of grade ≥2 LV diastolic insufficiency was distinctly higher than that in patients without family history (41.6% vs 12.3%). Even after adjusting for confounding variables, LAVI, E/A, Sepe', Late', e', E/e' were obviously associated with family history of gout. The area under ROC of family history combined with SUA level for identifying grade ≥2 LV diastolic insufficiency in patients with primary gout was 0.872 (<0.05).
Conclusion: Family history of gout was closely related to echocardiographic LV diastolic function parameters in patients with gout, what is more, family history of gout combined with SUA level was found to be a valuable indicator for discriminating grade ≥2 LV diastolic insufficiency in patients with primary gout.

Background: Thyroid nodules (TNs) are frequent and often benign. Accurately differentiating between benign and malignant nodules is crucial for proper management. This research aims to use ultrasonography to examine TNs and identify possible risk factors in order to improve patient outcomes and diagnostic accuracy.

Background/objectives: Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) frequently experience sleep disturbances. Melatonin, an over-the-counter supplement, is increasingly used in the general pediatric population; however, its prevalence and perceived effectiveness in children with AD remain unclear.
Methods: Caregivers of pediatric patients (ages 1-17 years) with physician-diagnosed AD completed surveys on melatonin use, Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), and age-appropriate sleep questionnaires.
A qualitative study to explore experiences and views of patients and their family members managing steroid-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) out of hospital.

Endocrinology Department, East Surrey Hospital, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, Redhill, UK.
Aim: To explore the experiences of patients, families and clinicians managing steroid-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) out of the hospital and identify areas for improved care.
Methods: We searched hospital records to identify patients requiring input from the diabetes inpatient team between February 2022 and March 2023 due to steroid usage. Clinicians, patients and their family members were interviewed remotely about their experiences of care and views on how to improve it.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) pathogenesis is multi-factorial, involving synergistic interactions among genetic susceptibility, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and environmental exposures. Notably, specific multi-generational families exhibit NPC incidence substantially exceeding both sporadic cases and general genetic susceptibility cohorts, demonstrating Mendelian inheritance patterns. This supports the hypothesis that high penetrance pathogenic variants dominate disease initiation and progression in familial NPC.
