Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It remains unclear how MIS-C phenotypes vary across variants. We aimed to investigate clinical characteristics and outcomes eras.
Stem cells in animals often exhibit a slow cell cycle and/or low transcriptional activity referred to as quiescence. Here, we report that the translational primordial germ (PGCs) of sea urchin embryo (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) is quiescent. We measured new protein synthesis with O-propargyl-puromycin and L-homopropargylglycine Click-iT technologies, determined these synthesize at only 6% level their adjacent somatic cells. Knockdown translation RNA-binding Nanos2 by morpholino antisense...
Objective Inflammatory arthritides exhibit hallmark patterns of affected and spared joints, but in each individual, arthritis affects only a subset all possible sites. The purpose this study was to identify patient‐specific joint flare distinguish local from systemic drivers disease chronicity. Methods Patients with juvenile idiopathic followed without interruption onset into adulthood were identified across 2 large academic centers. Joints inflamed at visit established by medical record...
Importance Implemented in 18 regions, Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) was the largest US primary care delivery model ever tested. Understanding its association with health outcomes is critical designing future transformation models. Objective To test whether CPC+ associated lower spending and utilization improved quality of care. Design, Setting, Participants Difference-in-differences regression models compared changes between year before 5 intervention years for Medicare...
OBJECTIVE To improve patient outcomes and promote health equity, medical students must be taught not only biomedicine, but also the social sciences to understand larger contexts in which patients live care operates. Yet, most undergraduate education does explicitly cover these topics a required, longitudinal curriculum. METHODS In January 2015 at Harvard Medical School, we created two-part sequence (pre- post-clerkship) of 4-week multidisciplinary courses—“Essentials Profession I II”—to fill...
Pandemic swept across the world, many medical students' clinical duties were suspended and K-12 schools closed. Parents teachers of younger students stretched thin with new responsibilities, it was challenging to find accurate, engaging, developmentally appropriate information about COVID-19 intended for children adolescents. Paralleling disruptions seen in schooling, from patient responsibilities found their education interrupted sought ways both contribute public outreach efforts augment...

This paper studies how firms set contributions to employer provided 401(k)-type pension plans. Using a reform that decreased the subsidy capital accounts for Danish workers in top income tax bracket, we provide strong evidence employers' are based on their employees' savings preferences. We find an immediate decrease accounts, whose magnitude increased share of employees directly affected by reform. response was large relative average employee responses within private IRA-type plans and...

It is important to understand how incarcerated men conceptualize fatherhood for reentry. Sixteen interviews explored attitudes and feelings about parenthood, family planning, challenges strengths regarding fatherhood. Transcriptions were analyzed themes using open coding. Parenting themes: being active in children’s lives, financial stability, giving children better lives. Family planning preventing sexually transmitted infection, creating stable families, importance of birth control...
An 85-year-old women with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis presented generalized weakness, elevated liver function test levels, and creatinine kinase consistent rhabdomyolysis 1 week after starting tafamidis. She was already taking atorvastatin amiodarone, raising the possibility of a drug–drug interaction inhibiting breakdown excretion atorvastatin, causing drug-induced rhabdomyolysis. (Level Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Key Findings▪A 4-part virtual educational workshop, held by Zoom, was offered to patients with postural tachycardia syndrome in a Boston cardiology practice.▪The workshop well received patients, who felt supported and empowered the facilitators (MDs medical student) participating peers.▪The physician facilitators, it an efficient effective method of educating supporting this often high-need population. ▪A Nonpharmacologic interventions for (POTS) have been proven be reducing symptoms...
Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It remains unclear how MIS-C phenotypes vary across variants. We aimed to investigate clinical characteristics and outcomes eras.Methods: performed multicenter observational retrospective study including seven pediatric hospitals four countries. All consecutive confirmed patients hospitalized between February 2020 May 2022 were included. Electronic Health Records (EHR) data...
