Factors associated with diagnostic delay in Familial Mediterranean Fever

EULAR – The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology – held its 2023 annual congress in Milan, Italy. One of the abstracts chosen for presentation in the scientific session on Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) in children and young people, focused on the factors associated with diagnostic delay in FMF, using data from the Juvenile Inflammatory Rheumatism (JIR) cohort.

A deeper look into axial spondyloarthritis: Prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment

There is a large diagnostic delay for people with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). In 2008, the SPACE cohort started to assess the prevalence of axSpA – and the reliability of an early diagnosis in people with chronic back pain (CBP).

Babies experiencing hypoxia due to sleep apnea tend to develop hypertension in adulthood

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives.

Color-changing materials hold promise for diverse scenarios in medical cold supply chains

Some foods and medicines, such as many COVID-19 vaccines, must be kept cold. As a step toward a robust, stable technique that could indicate when these products exceed safe limits, researchers in ACS Nano report a class of brilliantly colored microcrystals in materials that become colorless over a wide range of temperatures and response times.

Study shatters myths: Toddlers, including those with health issues, exceed WHO physical activity standards

Research examines the association between physical activity, child development, social context, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young children using data from the ActiveCHILD cohort study in the UK. It aims to provide insights into the relationship between these factors and shed light on physical activity patterns in different developmental and health states.
