Longitudinal association between hemoglobin and lung function with insights into the incidence of airflow obstruction: an observational study by Jihoon Kim, Yun Tae Kim, Ah Young Leem, Ji Ye Jung, Young Sam Kim, Youngmok Park

“…Methods We used linear mixed regression analysis to evaluate the longitudinal associations between Hb levels and lung function parameters, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC. Additionally, we used a generalized estimating equation to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of airflow obstruction (AO) according to the Hb level. …”

A Pilot Study on Cognitive Processing Characteristics and Cerebral Mechanisms of Native Chinese-Speaking Savant Calendar Calculators with Autism Spectrum Disorder by CHEN Jian, XU Shutian, WU Yuwei, CHEN Songmei, SHAN Chunlei

“…The MoCA score was 17, mainly characterized as cognitive dysfunction and obvious abstract and language function loss. (7) MRI examination: compared with the healthy subjects, the SCC patient had arachnoid cysts in the left anterior temporal lobe, small bilateral hippocampal volume, especially on the left side, and left parietal-occipital cortex atrophy with subcortical white matter gliosis was observed.ConclusionThe native Chinese patient with autism spectrum disorder has the ability of SCC, and the frontal lobe function and left parietal lobe function (reduced numerical calculation ability and ideomotor dysfunction) are impaired, except for good visuospatial ability. …”
