Abstract

This study provides a longitudinal analysis of the National Cystic Fibrosis Patient Registry to determine if height-for-age percentile would be a useful predictor of survival. All patients were selected from the national registry (n = 19,000) maintained by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's 115 accredited Cystic Fibrosis Care Centers in the United States. Inclusion in our analysis required that subjects were born between 1980 and 1989; had a minimum of 4 records each; the subject was alive at age 7; and the subject had a recorded height measurement at age 7 to 8 (n = 2,773). The Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare height-for-age with survival. We recorded whether a subject was less than the 5th National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) percentile at age 5 and then in a separate analysis at age 7. Cohort effect was coded as "1" if they were born before 1982 and "0" otherwise. Stature is a significant prognostic indicator of survival. The relative hazard associated with height below the 5th NCHS percentile for age was significant for both males and females. In males at age 5 the relative hazard was 2.9, [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23, 6.91; P < .02] and at age 7 it was 6.3 (95% CI 2.1, 18.8; P < .001). The rel...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
