BACKGROUND: In today's digital age, demanding to interpret vast quantities of visual information with speed and accuracy, nonverbal Intelligence has become increasingly crucial for children, as it plays a key role in cognitive development and learning. While motor proficiency has been positively linked to various cognitive functions in children, its relationship with nonverbal Intelligence remains an open question. This study, therefore, explored the structural associations between motor proficiency and nonverbal Intelligence in school-aged children (6 to 11 years), focusing on potential age and sex-specific patterns. METHODS: Data were obtained from 396 children aged 6 to 11 (214 boys, 182 girls; mean age 8.9 years ±1.3) divided into younger children 6-8 years and older Children 9-11 years. Motor proficiency was assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2), and non-verbal Intelligence was evaluated with the Raven Progressive Matrices (RPM). We conducted multigroup structural modelling with non-verbal Intelligence as a dependent latent variable. RESULTS: The BOT-2 and RPM models demonstrated an acceptable fit in Czech children. Strength-agility and Fine motor control emerged as the strongest predictors of nonverbal intelligence level assessed by five sets of RPM. Age-specific analyses revealed that the Strength-agility construct was consistently a significant predictor of nonverbal intelligence level in both age categories. However, in older children, also Fine motor control was significantly linked to nonverbal intelligence level. Sex-specific differences were also observed in the structural modelling results, indicating significant predictor non-invariance based on participants' sex. In girls, both Fine motor control and the Strength-agility constructs were significant predictors of nonverbal Intelligence level, showing stronger associations with nonverbal Intelligence than boys. For boys, only the Strength-agility construct was a significant predictor of RPM performance. CONCLUSION: This study reveals a nuanced age- and sex-specific relationship between children's motor proficiency and nonverbal Intelligence. The findings underscore the need for targeted physical interventions, particularly those emphasising fine motor and strength-agility exercises, to ensure equitable opportunities for motor skill development. Such interventions may enhance physical abilities and support cognitive development in an increasingly digital world.

Objectives. Several associations between HLA complex and diabetes mellitus type 1A were found in various groups of patients of Caucasoid population. This study was therefore prompted to be conducted in Slovak population, since any such has not yet been performed in Slovak population. Methods. Patients suffering from DM-1A originated from all regions of Slovakia. Their age ranged from 1 to 42 years; but the criterion for including the subject to the study was the definition of diagnosis in older patients before their age of 15 (Table 1). The diagnosis was set up according to internationally accepted criteria. A total of 460 patients was typed for HLA-DQB1 alleles, among them 97 also for HLA-DQA1 and 146 for HLA-DRB1 alleles. HLA-typing was performed by a PCR-SSP method. Control group consisted of 196 (DQA), 143 (DQB1) and 130 (DRB1) unrelated blood donors aged 19-55 years old irrespective of their age or sex. The data obtained were expressed in a 2 x 2 contingency table and statistical significance was calculated by the Fisher exact test. Results. Among 11 HLA-DQB1 alleles tested DQB1*0302 was the most frequent in DM-1A patients (30.33 % vs. 5.59 % in healthy subjects (HS), followed by DQB1*0201 (22.93 % vs. 12.94 %, respectively). In contrast, the frequency rate of DQB1*0301 (10.66 % vs. 24.48 %), DQB1*0602 (2.17 % vs. 10.14 %) and DQB1*0603 (2.5 % vs. 8,39 %) were decreased in DM-1A patients. Out of 14 DQA1 alleles the highest occurrence rate showed DQA1*0301 (30.93 % VS. 17.09) and DQA1*0501 (34.02 % vs. 25.76 %), while DQA1*0102 (8.76 % vs. 16.58 %) and DQA1*0201(6.18 % vs. 13.51 %7), respectively, were found to be the least frequent. Among 13 HLA-DRB1 alleles tested, the most common occurrence rates showed DRB1*03 (26.37 % vs. 9.62 %) and DRB1*04 (7.19 % vs. 14.23 %), while the least frequent alleles were DRB1*15 (2.74% vs. 12.31 %), DRB1*07 (7.19 % vs. 14.23 %), and DRB1*11 (2.74 % vs. 20.38 %). The alleles DQB1*0302 and DQA1*0301, respectively, were present in the same individual in all DRB1*04 positive patients, suggesting that they belong to the haplotype. Similar situation was observed with the alleles DQB1*0201, DQA1*0501, and DRB*0301, respectively, forming the second HLA haplotype so characteristic for DM1A.

We used data from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey to examine patterns of cigarette smoking behavior and tobacco use. In light of the recent upsurge in e-cigarette use, we modeled current use and future intentions to use vape products along with combustible cigarette smoking and other tobacco products (i.e., cigars, cigarillos, chew, snuff, and dip). Latent class analyses indicated four discrete classes of smokers including a nominally involved class with very modest levels of tobacco product use, a class blending e-cigarette and cigars, a class of youth who predominantly use combustible cigarettes, and a group reporting indiscriminate use of almost all tobacco products excluding chew. Tests of invariance in item response probabilities and latent class proportions showed little variation across race and gender, albeit a new class of combustible cigarette and e-cigarette users emerged when examined by grade. Members of the heavy smoking and tobacco use class were more likely to be male, White, and older. Predictors of class membership included expectancies (perceived benefits of use), perceived harm (risk), media exposure, tobacco dependence, and the desire to quit. Findings are discussed in terms of characterizing risk among already smoking youth and how actionable prevention measures can be incorporated into existing universal and indicated programs that target reducing tobacco use and smoking behaviors.

BACKGROUND: Several natural history studies on primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) patients detected a consistent heterogeneity in the rate of disability accumulation. OBJECTIVES: To identify subgroups of PPMS patients with similar longitudinal trajectories of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) over time. METHODS: All PPMS patients collected within the MSBase registry, who had their first EDSS assessment within 5 years from onset, were included in the analysis. Longitudinal EDSS scores were modeled by a latent class mixed model (LCMM), using a nonlinear function of time from onset. LCMM is an advanced statistical approach that models heterogeneity between patients by classifying them into unobserved groups showing similar characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 853 PPMS (51.7% females) from 24 countries with a mean age at onset of 42.4 years (standard deviation (SD): 10.8 years), a median baseline EDSS of 4 (interquartile range (IQR): 2.5-5.5), and 2.4 years of disease duration (SD: 1.5 years) were included. LCMM detected three different subgroups of patients with a mild ( n = 143; 16.8%), moderate ( n = 378; 44.3%), or severe ( n = 332; 38.9%) disability trajectory. The probability of reaching EDSS 6 at 10 years was 0%, 46.4%, and 81.9% respectively. CONCLUSION: Applying an LCMM modeling approach to long-term EDSS data, it is possible to identify groups of PPMS patients with different prognosis.

We aimed to explore sex differences in the association of childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) with the level of cognitive performance and the rate of cognitive decline. We studied 84,059 individuals (55% women; mean age 64 years) from the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. Sex differences in the association of childhood SEP (household characteristics at age 10) with the level of cognitive performance (verbal fluency, immediate recall, delayed recall) were analysed using multilevel linear regression. Structural equation modelling tested education, depressive symptoms and physical state as mediators. The relationship between childhood socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage and the rate of cognitive decline was assessed using linear mixed-effects models. Higher childhood SEP was associated with a higher level of cognitive performance to a greater extent in women (B = 0.122; 95% CI 0.092-0.151) than in men (B = 0.109; 95% CI 0.084-0.135). The strongest mediator was education. Childhood socioeconomic disadvantage was related to a higher rate of decline in delayed recall in both sexes, with a greater association in women. Strategies to prevent impaired late-life cognitive functioning, such as reducing childhood socioeconomic disadvantages and improving education, might have a greater benefit for women.

Basic motor competencies (BMC) are a prerequisite for children to be physically active, participate in sports and thus develop a healthy, active lifestyle. The present study provides a broad screening of BMC and associations with age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and extracurricular physical activity (PA) in 10 different European countries. The different country and regional contexts within Europe will offer a novel view on already established BMC associations. The cross-sectional study was conducted in 11 regions in 10 European countries in 2018. The motor competence areas, object movement (OM) and self-movement (SM), were assessed using the MOBAK-1-2 test instrument in 3758 first and second graders (age: M = 6.86 ± 0.60 years; 50% girls) during Physical Education classes. Children were questioned about their extracurricular PA and age. Their body weight and height were measured in order to calculate BMI. Statistical analyses included variances and correlations. The results showed significant differences in BMC levels between countries (OM: F = 18.74, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.048; SM: F = 73.10, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.163) whereas associations between BMC and correlates were similar. Boys performed significantly better in OM while girls performed better in SM. Age was consistently positively related to OM and SM with older children reaching higher levels of BMC than younger ones. While participation rates for extracurricular PA differed widely, participation in ball sports was correlated with OM and SM. Participation in individual sports showed a significant association with SM. In summary, BMC levels of children seem to depend on where they live and are strongly related to their participation in extracurricular PA. Therefore, education and health policies, in order to enhance motor competence development and PA participation, are recommended. Further research on country-specific Physical Education frameworks and their influence on BMC will provide more insights into structural factors and cultural characteristics of BMC development. On a school level, support tools and educational materials for teachers about BMC may enable children to achieve a basic level of motor competencies through Physical Education, contributing to lifelong participation in PA.

BACKGROUND: We studied which factor could predict aseptic loosening in ABG I hip prosthesis with hydroxyapatite coating. Aseptic loosening and periprosthetic osteolysis are believed to be caused, at least in part, by increased polyethylene (PE) wear rate via particle disease. Based on it, increased PE wear rate should be associated with aseptic loosening regardless of the type of implant. METHODS: We analyzed data from 155 revisions of ABG I hip prostheses to examine the influence of patient, implant, surgery, and wear related factors on the rate of aseptic loosening at the site of the cup. This was calculated by stepwise logistic regression analysis. The stability of the implant and severity of bone defects were evaluated intraoperatively. RESULTS: We found that men (odds ratio, OR = 5.6; p = 0.004), patients with Charnley class C (OR = 6.71; p = 0.013), those having more severe acetabular bone defects (OR = 4 for each degree of severity; p = 0.002), and longer time to revision surgery (OR = 1.51 for each additional year; p = 0.012) had a greater chance of aseptic loosening of the cup. However, aseptic loosening was not directly predicted by polyethylene wear rate in our patients. CONCLUSION: Severity of bone defects predicts the risk for aseptic loosening in ABG I cup. Factors potentially associated with the quality of bone bed and biomechanics of the hip might influence on the risk of aseptic loosening in this implant.

PURPOSE: A short HIV/AIDS risk behaviour knowledge index based on questions about HIV transmission and prevention of HIV infection during sexual intercourse and intravenous drug use is proposed and implemented for an HIV average risk population in Munich. METHODS: Knowledge levels about HIV/AIDS risk behaviour was assessed in a group of people (n = 210) in sexually active age range of 18-49 years which was at an average risk of contracting HIV. Four questions about HIV transmission by unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sexual intercourse, and by needle sharing, and two questions about HIV prevention by condom use, and the single use of needles and syringes were chosen from ten others for making a four level risk behaviour knowledge index (HIV/AIDS Transmission through Sex and Intravenous Drug Use, HATSIDU) internally consistent according to Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: HATSIDU index (mean 3.0, SD +/- 1.18) was not associated (p>0.05) with sex and marital status, but depended (p < 0.05) on age, education and social status. General population of Munich in a sexually active age group of 40-49 years, or those without further education or the unemployed, had a significantly lower knowledge of HIV risk behaviour. CONCLUSION: The HATSIDU is a simple and usable index for the assessment of HIV/AIDS risk behaviour knowledge in a population with an average risk of HIV infection.

Recognition of information from acoustic signals is crucial in many animals, and individuals are under selection pressure to discriminate between the signals of conspecifics and heterospecifics or males and females. Here, we first report that rhinos use information encoded in their calls to assess conspecifics and individuals of closely related species. The southern (Ceratotherium simum) and critically endangered northern (C. cottoni) white rhinos are the most social out of all the rhinoceros species and use a contact call pant. We found that southern white rhino pant calls provide reliable information about the caller's sex, age class and social situation. Playback experiments on wild territorial southern white rhinoceros males revealed that they responded more strongly to the pant calls of conspecific females compared to the calls of other territorial males. This suggests that pant calls are more important form of communication between males and females than between territorial males. Territorial southern males also discriminated between female and territorial male calls of northern species and reacted more intensively to the calls of northern than southern males. This might be caused by a novelty effect since both species naturally live in allopatry. We conclude that white rhinos can directly benefit from assessing individuals at long distances using vocal cues especially because their eyesight is poor. Pant calls thus likely play a significant role in their social relationships and spatial organization. In addition, better understanding of vocal communication in white rhinos might be helpful in conservation management particularly because of their low reproduction in captivity.

Úvod: V multifaktoriální etiopatogenezi systémových revmatických chorob je nezbytná genetická vnímavost. PRL je účinný imunomodulátor, který podporuje rozvoj autoimunity. Cíle práce: 1. Zjistit imunogenetický background, HLA II. a I. třídy a alely mikrosatelitového polymorfismu transmembránové části exonu 5 genu MIC-A (dále MIC-A), u SLE a PsA. 2. Zjistit, zda PRL v séru a synoviální tekutině ovlivňuje klinický a laboratorní průběh RA. 3. Zjistit, zda se funkční polymorfismus -1149 G/T SNP mimohypofyzárního promotoru PRL genu podílí na rozvoji a fenotypu SLE, RA, PsA, SSc a zánětlivých myopatií. Metodika: Genetické analýzy u souborů nemocných se SLE (n = 156), RA (n = 173), PsA (n = 100), SSc (n = 75), PM (n = 47) a DM (n = 68) a 123 zdravých jedinců: PCR-SSP (HLA I. a II. třídy), PCR-fragmentační analýza (MIC-A) a PCR-RFLP (-1149 G/T SNP PRL). Detekce PRL v séru a synoviální tekutině u 29 RA a 26 OA pomocí radioimunometrické analýzy. Výsledky: 1. Rizikové imunogenetické markery SLE v české populaci jsou alela HLA-DRB1*03 (pc = 0,008; OR 2,5) a haplotyp HLA-DRB1 *03-DQB1*0201 (pc <0,001; OR 4,54). Frekvence MIC-A5.1 je vyšší u SLE než u zdravých (pc =0,005; OR 1,88). MIC-A5.1 spolu s HLA-DRB1*03 výrazně zvyšuje riziko SLE, pc <0,000001; OR 9,71. Alela HLA-Cw*0602 je častější u PsA s psoriázou I. typu než u zdravých, pc <0,05; OR 3,33, 2. V séru i synoviální tekutině jsou hladiny PRL vyšší u RA (299,55 ± 27,28 a 338,85 ± 33,49 mIU/l) než u OA, 230,59 ± 16,61 a 245,97 ± 21,88 mIU/l, obě p<0,05. Hladiny synoviálního PRL korelují s DAS-28, p=0,010 a sérový PRL s tíží rentgenového postižení, p=0,014. 3. GT genotyp -1149 G/T SNP PRL se vyskytuje signifikantně častěji u nemocných s RA než u zdravých jedinců, pc =0,039; OR 1,82. Genotyp GG je signifikantně častější u SLE se začátkem choroby mezi 21.-40. rokem v porovnání s ostatními, pc =0,023; OR 2,94. Obdobně je genotyp TT vzácný u SSc nemocných se začátkem choroby po 45. roce (4,1 %) na rozdíl od nemocných se začátkem před 45. rokem (25 %), pc = 0,02; OR 0,13. Závěr: Tato práce je první imunogenetickou studií u dvou závažných revmatických chorob, SLE a PsA, v české populaci. Zjistili jsme, že alela MIC-A5.1 výrazně zvyšuje riziko SLE u HLA-DRB1*03 pozitivních osob. U PsA s psoriázou I. typu jsme potvrdili rizikovou alelu HLA-Cw*0602. PRL ovlivňuje průběh systémových revmatických onemocnění - u RA reflektuje aktivitu a tíží onemocnění, distribuce genotypů -1149 G/T SNP PRL se liší kvůli závislosti na věku objevení se SLE a SSc.

Background: Several factors like genetic susceptibility are required for the development of systemic rheumatic diseases. Prolactin (PRL) is an effective immunomodulator which supports the development of autoimmunity. Objectives: 1. To detect the immunogenetic background (HLA class I and II alleles and alleles of microsatellite polymorphism of the transmembrane part exon 5 of MIC-A gene (MIC-A)) in SLE and PsA.2. To detect PRL levels in serum and synovial fluid with regard to clinical and laboratory activity of RA. 3. To examine the role of the functional polymorphism -1149G/T SNP of extrapituitary promoter of PRL gene in the development and phenotype of SLE, RA, PsA, SSc and inflammatory myopathies. Methods: Genetic analyses were performed in patients with SLE (n=156), RA (n=173), PsA (n=100), SSc (n=75), PM (n=47), DM (n=68) and 123 healthy individuals using PCR-SSP (HLA class I and II), PCR-fragment analysis (MIC-A) and PCR-RFLP (-1149 G/T SNP PRL). In 29 RA and 26 OA PRL serum and synovial fluid concentrations were detected using immunoradiometric assay. Results: 1. The allele HLA-DRB1*03 (pc=0.008; OR 2.5) and haplotype HLA-DRB1*03- DQB1*0201 (pc <0.001; OR 4.54) were determined as risk immunogenetic markers for SLE in the Czech population. The allele MIC-A5.1 was increased in SLE compared to controls (pc =0.005; OR 1.88). MIC-A5.1 together with HLA-DRB1*03 significantly increases the risk for the development of SLE, pc <0.000001; OR 9.71. The alexprelele HLA-Cw*0602 occurs more frequently in PsA with psoriasis type I compared to controls, pc <0.05; OR 3.33. 2. Serum and synovial fluid PRL levels were increased in RA (299.55Ī27.28 and 338.85Ī 33.49 mIU/l, respectively) compared to OA (230.59Ī16.61 and 245.97Ī21.88 mIU/l, respectively, both p<0.05). Synovial fluid PRL levels correlate with DAS-28 (p=0.010) and serum PRL levels correlate with structural damage (p=0.014). 3. Genotype GT -1149 G/T SNP PRL is more frequent in RA than in controls, pc =0.039; OR 1.82. Genotype GG is more common in patients with onset of SLE at the age of 21 – 40 years compared to other disease onsets, pc =0.023; OR 2.94. Similarly, the TT genotype seems to be rare in SSc with disease onset after 45th year of age compared to patients with disease onset prior 45 years of age, pc =0.02; OR 0.13. Conclusion: This is the first immunogenetic study in two severe rheumatic diseases - SLE and PsA in the Czech population. We detected that the allele MIC-A5.1 incerases the risk for the development of SLE in HLA-DRB1*03 individuals. The allele HLA-Cw*0602 is a risk factor for PsA with psoriasis type I. PRL modulates the course of systemic rheumatic diseases: PRL reflects the activity and severity of RA, and alleles of -1149G/T SNP PRL gene show differences associated with the age at disease onset of SLE and SSc.
