Gout is a metabolic disorder and one of the most common arthritic conditions. Hyperuricemia is the hallmark of developing gout and mostly caused by uric acid underexcretion. Gout disproportionately affects people of specific races and ethnicities. Filipinos are the second-largest Asian population in the USA and reported to have a higher prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia than non-Filipino counterparts and Filipinos residing in the Philippines. The genetic polymorphism rs2231142 G>T in the ABCG2 has been strongly associated with hyperuricemia and gout across multiple populations. However, the prevalence of this variant in Filipinos is unknown. Therefore, assessing the prevalence of this variant may provide insights on the high prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout in Filipinos. A total of 190 DNA samples from pregnant females who self-identified as a Filipino from the Hawaii Biorepository Bank were genotyped for rs2231142 G>T in the ABCG2. https://www.selleckchem.com/CDK.html The prevalence of the gout risk allele (T) (46%) was significantly higher in Filipinos than in samples of Caucasians (12%, p T in ABCG2 may predispose Filipinos to hyperuricemia and gout when acculturated to high-purine diet.OBJECTIVE To investigate possible association between sacroiliitis and HLA-B*35 positivity. METHOD After excluding patients with axial spondyloarthritis and HLA-B*27 positivity, psoriasis inflammatory bowel disease, preceding infections, or juvenile type of spondyloarthritis, 110 patients were recruited with a diagnosis of undifferentiated axial spondyloarthritis. All of them had inflammatory back pain of short duration (3 months to 2 years) and 72 were HLA-B*35 positive. In order to determine if there is a possible association of sacroiliitis and HLA-B*35 positivity, all patients underwent MRI of sacroiliac joints. RESULTS A statistically significant association between the detection of bone marrow edema at sacroiliac joints on MRI and HLA-B*35 positivity (χ2 = 6.25; p = 0.022) was found. A logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of HLA-B*35 allele was associated with a 6 times greater chance of identifying bone marrow edema at sacroiliac joints on MRI (OR 6, 95% CI 1.3-27, p = 0.021). HLA-B*ated with a 4.7 times greater chance of finding elevated CRP and a 5 times greater chance of finding peripheral joint synovitis in un-axSpa patients.• HLA-B*35 allele could be a potential risk factor for developing sacroiliitis and axSpA.Splenic involvement is rarely reported in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAVs), particularly in those with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and is in fact considered to be underestimated. We aimed to investigate the frequency of splenic lesions-mainly infarction-and related factors in patients with AAVs. Patients with AAV whose abdominal or thoracic computed tomographies (CTs) were performed at or after diagnosis were included in the study. CT images were examined for splenic lesions. Overall, 69 patients (median age at diagnosis 54 [IQR 24] years; 55% with GPA, 29% with microscopic polyangiitis, and 16% with renal-limited disease) were included in the analysis. Splenic pathologies were detected in 19 (28%) patients; 12/19 (63%) splenomegaly and 7/19 (37%) splenic infarction. All patients with splenic infarction exhibited GPA with PR3-ANCA-positive serology. Three of these seven patients had autosplenectomy. Patients with splenic infarction were younger at diagnosis (p = 0.018) with also significantly higher ear-nose-throat (ENT) (%100 vs 37; p = 0.002) and eye involvement (%50 vs %12; p = 0.044) than patients without splenic infarction. Splenic pathologies are not rare in AAVs. Furthermore, infarction can help separate GPA from MPA. In young patients with GPA, particularly those with ENT and eye involvements, physicians should consider splenic infarction.Key Points• Splenic infarction is more common than previously thought in ANCA-associated vasculitides, particularly in granulomatosis with polyangiitis.• Detecting splenic infarction can help differentiate granulomatosis with polyangiitis from other subgroups.Food insecurity (FI), or limited or uncertain access to food, is a significant public health issue, especially for individuals with serious mental illness. As such, mental health providers should regularly assess FI and link individuals to resources. The purpose of this project was to create and pilot test a provider training on FI assessment at a community mental health center. Fifteen providers participated in the training and completed surveys at post-training and one-month follow-up. Results suggested success in delivering an acceptable training that conveyed the importance of FI and inspired confidence in assessment. Yet, it was not sufficient to modify providers' FI assessment behavior. A brief training can effectively teach providers about FI and promote confidence in assessment; however, it is not adequate to change behavior. Future work should examine the provider training in a larger sample and wider variety of CMHC providers and explore ways to integrate FI assessment into existing practices to address implementation barriers.Individuals who carry pathogenic mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes have high risks of cancer, and small studies have suggested that these risks depend on the sex of the parent from whom the mutation was inherited. We have conducted the first large study of such a parent-of-origin effect (POE). Our study was based on all MMR gene mutation carriers and their relatives in the Colon Cancer Family Registry, comprising 18,226 people. The POE was estimated as a hazard ratio (HR) using a segregation analysis approach that adjusted for ascertainment. HR = 1 corresponds to no POE and HR > 1 corresponds to higher risks for maternal mutations. For all MMR genes combined, the estimated POE HRs were 1.02 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75-1.39, p = 0.9) for male colorectal cancer, 1.12 (95% CI 0.81-1.54, p = 0.5) for female colorectal cancer and 0.84 (95% CI 0.52-1.36, p = 0.5) for endometrial cancer. Separate results for each MMR gene were similar. Therefore, despite being well-powered, our study did not find any evidence that cancer risks for MMR gene mutation carriers depend on the parent-of-origin of the mutation.
