Childhood neurodivergent traits, inflammation and chronic disabling fatigue in adolescence: a longitudinal case–control study by Neil A Harrison, Hugo D Critchley, Jessica Eccles, Kevin A Davies, Lisa Quadt, Rod Bond, Jenny Csecs

“…Objectives To test whether inflammatory processes link the expression of childhood neurodivergent traits to chronic disabling fatigue in adolescence.Design Longitudinal case–control study.Setting We analysed data from The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).Participants 8115 and 8036 children of the ALSPAC cohort at ages 7 and 9 years, respectively, 4563 of whom also completed self-report measures at age 18 years.Primary and secondary outcome measures We assessed if children scoring above screening threshold for autism/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at ages 7 and 9 years had increased risk of chronic disabling fatigue at age 18 years, computing ORs and CIs for effects using binary logistic regression. Mediation analyses were conducted to test if an inflammatory marker (interleukin 6 (IL-6)) at age 9 years linked neurodivergent traits to chronic disabling fatigue at age 18 years.Results Children with neurodivergent traits at ages 7 and 9 years were two times as likely to experience chronic disabling fatigue at age 18 years (likely ADHD OR=2.18 (95% CI=1.33 to 3.56); p=0.002; likely autism OR=1.78 (95% CI=1.17 to 2.72); p=0.004). …”

Construction of nomogram model based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters to predict the degree of pathological differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma by Shu-Min Lian, Hong-Jing Cheng, Hong-Jing Li, Hui Wang

“…The prediction model was constructed by logistic regression in the training set, and the final model included three variables: mTTI, FT, and maximum diameter of a single lesion, resulting in the equation was Y=−2.360+1.674X1+1.019X2+0.753X3(2)+1.570X3(3).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the training set was 0.831, with a sensitivity of 82.0% and a specificity of 79.5%; the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the testing set was 0.811, with a sensitivity of 81.0% and a specificity of 70.0%.ConclusionThe regression model constructed by combining multiple parameters can effectively improve the diagnostic performance of CEUS in predicting the pathological differentiation grade of HCC, thus providing a clinical basis and empirical support for the use of CEUS as a diagnostic imaging method for this disease.…”
