Article Abstract

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by diverse clinicopathological phenotypes. Herein we present a follow-up study of previously reported identical twin sisters with IgAN. The older sister exhibited more severe kidney histopathology and proteinuria and a lower birthweight than did her younger sister, and only the older sister experienced two childbirths. These raised concerns regarding her kidney outcomes. However, with timely multidisciplinary treatments, the older sister's kidney function remained preserved after 20 years of IgAN history. Our findings indicate the significant contribution of environmental/epigenetic factors to IgAN progression and the need for tailored medical care corresponding to life events.

Clinicopathological features of dermal clear cell sarcoma: A series of 13 cases.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Background: Existing longitudinal cohort study data and associated biospecimen libraries provide abundant opportunities to efficiently examine new hypotheses through retrospective specimen testing. Outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) methods offer a powerful alternative to random sampling when testing all available specimens is not feasible or biospecimen preservation is desired. For repeated binary outcomes, a common ODS approach is to extend the case-control framework to the longitudinal setting.

Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.
