The Nuremberg Racial Laws: The End of Jewish Medical Teaching in Germany. Who Were the Last Jewish Medical Professors in Berlin?
CONCLUSIONS: After the Nazi regime seized power, academic activities and medical research by Jewish professors declined but did not stop. However, these professors worked with only Jewish students on their theses. Most dissertations were approved and examined after the Jewish academics were dismissed by the university, in some cases even after they left Germany.PMID:38616664 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

Trends in Emergency Department Admissions Due to Renal Colic in the Pediatric Population: A Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: ED admissions oscillated during the period investigated and had a downward trend. Unlike in the adult population, rates of renal colic ED admissions in the pediatric population were not affected by seasonal changes or rise in maximum ambient temperature.PMID:38616665 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

To ASLO or Not to ASLO: Utility of the ASLO Test in Dermatology
CONCLUSIONS: Although the applicability of ASLO for the spectrum of dermatological diseases remains unclear, our results enhance the practical relevance of the test. We showed a higher prevalence of positive ASLO tests in psoriasis and erythema nodosum cases and a lower prevalence in vasculitis. Notably, ASLO was positive in all psoriasis subtypes, suggesting high utility of the test for psoriasis.PMID:38616666 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

Exploring the Link Between Ankylosing Spondylitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: AS patients exhibit a markedly increased risk of developing IBD. These findings advocate for heightened clinical vigilance for IBD symptoms in AS patients and suggest the need for a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Further research into the shared pathogenic pathways is needed to develop personalized treatment strategies and improve patient management.PMID:38616667 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

Broadening the Phenotype and Genotype Spectrum of Glycogen Storage Disease by Unraveling Novel Variants in an Iranian Patient Cohort
This study aims to investigate the phenotype and genotype spectrum of GSDs in a cohort of 14 families from Iran using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and variant analysis. WES was performed on 14 patients clinically suspected of GSDs. Variant analysis was performed to identify genetic variants associated with GSDs. A total of 13 variants were identified, including six novel variants, and seven previously reported pathogenic variants in genes such as AGL, G6PC, GAA, PYGL, PYGM, GBE1, SLC37A4, and PHKA2. Most types of GSDs observed in the cohort were associated with hepatomegaly, which was the most common clinical presentation....

Weight Management with Orlistat in Type 2 Diabetes - An Electronic Healthcare Records Study
CONCLUSIONS: Orlistat was significantly associated with weight loss in T2DM/prediabetes when taken for at least 12 weeks. However, orlistat is infrequently prescribed and often taken for <12 weeks. Orlistat may be a useful adjunct to lifestyle modifications in T2DM/prediabetes however barriers to continuing orlistat means it may not be effective for everyone in managing weight loss.PMID:38621802 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0684 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)
