A metagenome-wide association study of gut microbiome in patients with AMD, ASD, RA, T2D & amp; VKH diseases
Comput Biol Chem. 2024 Apr 20;110:108076. doi: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2024.108076. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinical studies have already illustrated the associations between gut microbes and diseases, yet fundamental questions remain unclear that how we can universalize this knowledge. Considering the important role of human gut microbial composition in maintaining overall health, it is important to understand the microbial diversity and altered disease conditions of the human gut. Metagenomics provides a way to analyze and understand the microbes and their role in a community manner. It provides qualitative as well ...

Reliability, Validity and Acceptability of the PEDI-CAT with ASD Scales for Australian Children and Youth on the Autism Spectrum
CONCLUSION: The PEDI-CAT (ASD) had adequate psychometric properties and acceptability as a measure of Activities and Participation codes. However, it lacks comprehensiveness and relevance when compared to the ICF Core Sets for ASD and has the potential to overestimate functioning.PMID:38678516 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06366-7 (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

Prescriptions for Antipsychotics: Youth with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Compared to Youth without Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities
CONCLUSION: Compared to youth without IDD, youth with IDD were more frequently dispensed antipsychotics and metformin. These findings have important implications for the health of youth with IDD.PMID:38678514 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06344-z (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)
