Endocrine Disruptors and Health Effects in Africa: A Call for Action
Conclusion:
To address the many challenges posed by EDCs, we argue that Africans should take the lead in prioritization and evaluation of environmental hazards, including EDCs. We recommend the institution of education and training programs for chemical users, adoption of the precautionary principle, establishment of biomonitoring programs, and funding of community-based epidemiology and wildlife research programs led and funded by African institutes and private companies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1774

Association between Exposure to p,p ′-DDT and Its Metabolite p,p′-DDE with Obesity: Integrated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions:
We classified p,p′-DDT and p,p′-DDE as “presumed” to be obesogenic for humans, based on a moderate level of primary human evidence, a moderate level of primary in vivo evidence, and a moderate level of supporting evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP527

What Causes Microcephaly?
Discussion
Microcephaly is usually defined as an occipitofrontal head circumference (OFC) more than 2 standard deviations (SD) below the mean for sex, age and ethnicity. Severe microcephaly is used for OFC < 3 standard deviations. Rates of microcephaly range from 0.5-12 patients/10,000 live births.
The OFC should be measured at every well child visit and at other opportunities and plotted on standard growth charts. The OFC is measured using a nonelastic tape measure around the largest part of the head with the tape measure held above the eyebrows and ears. It is a highly reproducible measurement. There are several diff...

Associations between Ambient Fine Particulate Oxidative Potential and Cardiorespiratory Emergency Department Visits
Conclusions:
Lag 0–2 OPDTT was associated with ED visits for multiple cardiorespiratory outcomes, providing support for the utility of OPDTT as a measure of fine particle toxicity. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1545

Urine Arsenic and Arsenic Metabolites in U.S. Adults and Biomarkers of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Endothelial Dysfunction: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion:
In a cross-sectional study of U.S. adults, we observed some positive associations of uAs and toenail As concentrations with biomarkers potentially relevant to CVD pathogenesis and inflammation, and evidence of a higher capacity to metabolize inorganic As was negatively associated with a marker of oxidative stress. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2062

Prognostic Implications of Magnetic Resonance - Derived Quantification in Asymptomatic Patients with Organic Mitral Regurgitation: Comparison with Doppler Echocardiography-Derived Integrative Approach.
Conclusions -The findings of the present study suggest that the MRI-derived assessment of OMR can better identify patients with severe OMR and adverse outcome than ECHO-derived integrative approach warranting close follow-up and perhaps, early mitral valve surgery.

Cervico-shoulder dystonia following lateral medullary infarction: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionsTo date, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only one reported case of cervical dystonia associated with a single medullary lesion. It is interesting to note the similarities in the clinical characteristics of the previously reported case and our patient: the involvement of the dorsal and caudal parts of the medullary and associated ipsilateral hemiplegia. The present case may support the speculation that the lateral and caudal regions of the medulla may be the anatomical sites responsible for inducing cervical dystonia.

Cotard's Syndrome Triggered by Fear in a Patient with Intellectual Disability: Causal or Casual Link?
Authors: Sottile F, De Luca R, Bonanno L, Finzi G, Casella C, Calabrò RS
Abstract
Cotard's syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by a variety of nihilistic delusions, commonly associated with several psychotic and major affective disorders, and neurological diseases, including stroke, dementia, and mental retardation. A 39-year-old male with mental retardation developed Cotard's syndrome, following an important episode of fear. During admission to our neurological unit, the patient underwent an accurate assessment, including neuroradiological, clinical, and neuropsychological examinations. At the ps...

Improving everyday memory performance after acquired brain injury: An RCT on recollection and working memory training.
Conclusion: Our results show that combining working memory and recollection training significantly improves performance on everyday memory tasks, demonstrating far transfer effects. The present study argues in favor of a process-based approach for treating memory impairments. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)

Intra- and interatrial conduction abnormalities: hemodynamic and arrhythmic significance
AbstractAlterations of normal intra- and interatrial conduction are a common outcome of multiple cardiovascular conditions. They arise most commonly in the context of advanced age, cardiovascular risk factors, organic heart disease, atrial fibrosis, and left atrial enlargement. Interatrial block (IAB), the most frequent and extensively studied atrial conduction disorder, affects up to 20% of the general primary care population. IAB can be partial (P wave duration ≥ 120 ms on any of the 12 ECG leads) or advanced (P wave ≥ 120 ms and biphasic morphology (positive-negative) in inferior leads). Advanced IAB is an ind...

The utility of EEG monitoring in neonates with hyperammonemia due to inborn errors of metabolism
ConclusionsSeizures occur frequently in neonates with hyperammonemia; most can be detected only with continuous EEG. Seizures may occur when ammonia and glutamine levels are normal. Interburst interval duration is associated with ammonia levels or cerebral dysfunction from other brain pathology. Continuous EEG can be a useful tool for managing infants with hyperammonemia and may be essential for seizure management especially for infants in deep metabolic coma.

Incidence and Characteristics of Bath-related Accidents.
Conclusions This study revealed that accidents, including non-lethal events, frequently occur. The key symptoms were consciousness disturbance and lethargy characterized as a functional disorder and accompanied by an elevated body temperature. Those findings suggest that heat illness during hot water immersion causes drowning.

Safety outcomes during pediatric GH therapy: final results from the prospective GeNeSIS observational program.
Conclusions: GeNeSIS data support the favourable safety profile of pediatric GH treatment. Overall risk for death or primary cancer was not elevated in GH-treated children, and no hemorrhagic strokes occurred in patients without risk factors. T2DM incidence was elevated compared to the general population, but most cases had diabetes risk factors.
