Epidemiology of Spinocerebellar Ataxias in Europe
AbstractSpinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a heterogenous group of rare neurodegenerative conditions sharing an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. More than 40 SCAs have been genetically determined. However, a systematic review of SCA epidemiology in Europe is still missing. Here we performed a narrative review of the literature on the epidemiology of the most common SCAs in Europe. PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE were searched from inception until 1 April 2023. All English peer-reviewed articles published were considered and then filtered by abstract examination and subsequently by full text reading. A total of 917 or...

Treat to target and shared decision-making in systemic lupus erythematosus from the patients' perspective: results from an international patient survey
CONCLUSIONS: T2T was perceived as beneficial with improvement of QoL as the most important treatment goal and the possibility of additional doctors' visits and initiation of new immunosuppressive agents as potential drawbacks. Patients unsatisfied with their health status and treatment may benefit from greater involvement in treatment decisions.PMID:38757283 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/jp828o (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

An outbreak of Legionnaires' disease linked to a municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plant, The Netherlands, September-October 2022
Euro Surveill. 2024 May;29(20). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.20.2300506.ABSTRACTWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are increasingly identified as Legionnaires' disease (LD) sources. An outbreak investigation was initiated following five LD cases reported in September 2022 in Houten, the Netherlands. Case identification was based on the European LD case definition, with symptom onset from 1 September 2022, residence in or within 5 km of Houten, or visit to Houten within the incubation period, without other likely sources. We sampled potential sources and genotyped environmental and clinical isolates. We identified 15 ...

Does serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) metastasize? The clonal relationship between STIC and subsequent high-grade serous carcinoma in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers several years after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that cells from STIC can shed into the peritoneal cavity and give rise to HGSC after long lag periods in BRCA1/2 GPV carriers, and argues in favor of the hypothesis that STIC lesions may metastasize.PMID:38759517 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.05.010 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)
