Phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS2) plays a vital role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating protein trafficking between cellular membranes. This function impacts crucial processes like apoptosis, mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum interaction, and subsequently Ca2+ flux, lipid biosynthesis, and autophagy. Missense mutations, particularly E209K and E211K, are linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-66 (DEE66), known as PACS2 syndrome. Individuals with this syndrome exhibit neurodevelopmental delay, seizures, facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, and delayed motor skills.Understanding the impact of these missense mutations on molecular processes is crucial. Studies suggest that E209K mutation decreases phosphorylation, increases the survival time of protein, and modifies protein-protein interaction, consequently leading to disruption of calcium flux and lower resistance to apoptosis induction. Unfortunately, to date, only a limited number of research groups have investigated the effects of mutations in the PACS2 gene. Current research on PACS2 syndrome is hampered by the lack of suitable models. While in vitro models using transfected cell lines offer insights, they cannot fully capture the disease's complexity.To address this, utilizing cells from individuals with PACS2 syndrome, specifically induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), holds promise for understanding phenotypic diversity and developing personalized therapies. However, iPSC models may not fully capture tissue-specific effects of the E209K/E211K mutation. In vivo studies using animal models, particularly mice, could overcome these limitations.This review summarizes current knowledge about PACS2 structure and functions, explores the cellular consequences of E209K and E211K mutations, and highlights the potential of iPSC and mouse models in advancing our understanding of PACS2 syndrome.
AIMS: Liver cytochromes (CYPs) play an important role in drug metabolism but display a large interindividual variability resulting both from genetic and environmental factors. Most drug dose adjustment guidelines are based on genetics performed in healthy volunteers. However, hospitalized patients are not only more likely to be the target of new prescriptions and drug treatment modifications than healthy volunteers, but will also be more subject to polypharmacy, drug-drug interactions, or to suffer from disease or inflammation affecting CYP activities. METHODS: We compared predicted phenotype based on genetic data and measured phenotype using the Geneva cocktail to determine the extent of drug metabolizing enzyme variability in a large population of hospitalized patients (>500) and healthy young volunteers (>300). We aimed to assess the correlation between predicted and measured phenotype in the two populations. RESULTS: We found that, even in cases where the genetically predicted metabolizer group correlates well with measured CYP activity at group level, this prediction lacks accuracy for the determination of individual metabolizer capacities. Drugs can have a profound impact on CYP activity, but even after combining genetic and drug treatment information, the activity of a significant proportion of extreme metabolizers could not be explained. CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the use of measured metabolic ratios in addition to genotyping for accurate determination of individual metabolic capacities to guide personalized drug prescription.

BACKGROUND: Various explicit screening tools, developed mostly in central Europe and the USA, assist clinicians in optimizing medication use for older adults. The Turkish Inappropriate Medication use in oldEr adults (TIME) criteria set, primarily based on the STOPP/START criteria set, is a current explicit tool originally developed for Eastern Europe and subsequently validated for broader use in Central European settings. Reviewed every three months to align with the latest scientific literature, it is one of the most up-to-date tools available. The tool is accessible via a free mobile app and website platforms, ensuring convenience for clinicians and timely integration of updates as needed. Healthcare providers often prefer to use their native language in medical practice, highlighting the need for prescribing tools to be translated and adapted into multiple languages to promote optimal medication practices. OBJECTIVE: To describe the protocol for cross-cultural and language validation of the TIME criteria in various commonly used languages and to outline its protocol for clinical validation across different healthcare settings. METHODS: The TIME International Study Group comprised 24 geriatric pharmacotherapy experts from 12 countries. In selecting the framework for the study, we reviewed the steps and outcomes from previous research on cross-cultural adaptations and clinical validations of explicit tools. Assessment tools were selected based on both their validity in accurately addressing the relevant issues and their feasibility for practical implementation. The drafted methodology paper was circulated among the study group members for feedback and revisions leading to a final consensus. RESULTS: The research methodology consists of two phases. Cross-cultural adaptation/language validation phase follows the 8-step approach recommended by World Health Organization. This phase allows regions or countries to make modifications to existing criteria or introduce new adjustments based on local prescribing practices and available medications, as long as these adjustments are supported by current scientific evidence. The second phase involves the clinical validation, where participants will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive standard care, while the intervention group will have their treatment evaluated by clinicians who will review the TIME criteria and consider its recommendations. A variety of patient outcomes (i.e., number of hospital admissions, quality of life, number of regular medications [including over the counter medications], geriatric syndromes and mortality) in different healthcare settings will be investigated. CONCLUSION: The outputs of this methodological report are expected to promote broader adoption of the TIME criteria. Studies building on this work are anticipated to enhance the identification and management of inappropriate medication use and contribute to improved patient outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) that are ten-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) became available in 2010. We evaluated their global impact on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence in all ages. METHODS: Serotype-specific IPD cases and population denominators were obtained directly from surveillance sites using PCV10 or PCV13 in their national immunisation programmes and with a primary series uptake of at least 50%. Annual incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated comparing the incidence before any PCV with each year post-PCV10 or post-PCV13 introduction using Bayesian multi-level, mixed-effects Poisson regressions, by site and age group. All site-weighted average IRRs were estimated using linear mixed-effects regression, stratified by product and previous seven-valent PCV (PCV7) effect (none, moderate, or substantial). FINDINGS: Analyses included 32 PCV13 sites (488 758 cases) and 15 PCV10 sites (46 386 cases) in 30 countries, primarily high income (39 sites), using booster dose schedules (41 sites). By 6 years after PCV10 or PCV13 introduction, IPD due to PCV10-type serotypes and PCV10-related serotype 6A declined substantially for both products (age <5 years: 83-99% decline; ≥65 years: 54-96% decline). PCV7-related serotype 19A increases before PCV10 or PCV13 introduction were reversed at PCV13 sites (age <5 years: 61-79% decline relative to before any PCV; age ≥65 years: 7-26% decline) but increased at PCV10 sites (age <5 years: 1·6-2·3-fold; age ≥65 years: 3·6-4·9-fold). Serotype 3 IRRs had no consistent trends for either product or age group. Non-PCV13-type IPD increased similarly for both products (age <5 years: 2·3-3·3-fold; age ≥65 years: 1·7-2·3-fold). Despite different serotype 19A trends, all-serotype IPD declined similarly between products among children younger than 5 years (58-74%); among adults aged 65 years or older, declines were greater at PCV13 (25-29%) than PCV10 (4-14%) sites, but other differences between sites precluded attribution to product. INTERPRETATION: Long-term use of PCV10 or PCV13 reduced IPD substantially in young children and more moderately in older ages. Non-vaccine-type serotypes increased approximately two-fold to three-fold by 6 years after introduction of PCV10 or PCV13. Continuing serotype 19A increases at PCV10 sites and declines at PCV13 sites suggest that PCV13 use would further reduce IPD at PCV10 sites.

A double primary colorectal cancer (CRC) in a familial setting signals a high risk of CRC. In order to identify novel CRC susceptibility genes, we whole-exome sequenced germline DNA from nine persons with a double primary CRC and a family history of CRC. The detected variants were processed by bioinformatics filtering and prioritization, including STRING protein-protein interaction and pathway analysis. A total of 150 missense, 19 stop-gain, 22 frameshift and 13 canonical splice site variants fulfilled our filtering criteria. The STRING analysis identified 20 DNA repair/cell cycle proteins as the main cluster, related to genes CHEK2, EXO1, FAAP24, FANCI, MCPH1, POLL, PRC1, RECQL, RECQL5, RRM2, SHCBP1, SMC2, XRCC1, in addition to CDK18, ENDOV, ZW10 and the known mismatch repair genes. Another STRING network included extracellular matrix genes and TGFβ signaling genes. In the nine whole-exome sequenced patients, eight harbored at least two candidate DNA repair/cell cycle/TGFβ signaling gene variants. The number of families is too small to provide evidence for individual variants but, considering the known role of DNA repair/cell cycle genes in CRC, the clustering of multiple deleterious variants in the present families suggests that these, perhaps jointly, contributed to CRC development in these families.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in various biological processes, including cancer. miR-182-5p has gained attention for its potential implications in gynecologic cancers, including breast, ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. miR-182-5p dysregulation has been associated with multiple facets of tumor biology in gynecologic cancers, including tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response. Studies have highlighted its involvement in key signaling pathways and cellular processes that contribute to cancer development and progression. In addition, miR-182-5p has shown potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, with studies demonstrating its correlation with clinicopathological features and patient outcomes. Furthermore, the therapeutic potential of miR-182-5p is being explored in gynecologic cancers. Strategies such as miRNA mimics or inhibitors targeting miR-182-5p have shown promise in preclinical and early clinical studies. These approaches aim to modulate miR-182-5p expression, restoring normal cellular functions and potentially enhancing treatment responses. Understanding the biologic and clinical implications of miR-182-5p in gynecologic cancers is crucial for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and personalized medicine approaches. Further investigations are needed to unravel the specific target genes and pathways regulated by miR-182-5p. It is important to consider the emerging biologic and clinical implications of miR-182-5p in gynecologic cancers.
Asthma is a common, multifaceted respiratory disease with a major impact on quality of life. Despite increased insights into mechanisms underlying various asthma phenotypes and endotypes and the availability of targeted biologic treatment options, the disease remains uncontrolled in a substantial proportion of patients with risk of exacerbations, requiring systemic corticosteroids, and with progressive disease. Current international guidelines advocate for a personalized management approach to patients with uncontrolled severe asthma. The European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases (EUFOREA) asthma expert panel was convened to discuss strategies to optimize asthma care and to prevent systemic corticosteroid overuse and disease progression. In this meeting report, we summarize current concepts and recommendations and provide a rationale to implement personalized asthma management at earlier stages of the disease. The ultimate goal is to move away from the current one-size-fits-most concept, which focuses on a symptom-driven treatment strategy, and shift toward a phenotype- and endotype-targeted approach aimed at curbing the disease course by improving clinical outcomes and preserving health-related quality of life. Herein, we provide a consensus view on asthma care that advocates a holistic approach and highlight some unmet needs to be addressed in future clinical trials and population studies.

INTRODUCTION: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common running-related injuries. PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of PF and identify potential risk or protective factors for PF in runners and non-runners. METHODS: Data from 1206 participants from the 4HAIE cohort study (563 females/643 males; 715 runners/491 non-runners; 18-65 yr of age) were included in the analysis. We collected biomechanical data during overground running using a three-dimensional motion capture system at the baseline and running distance data via retrospective questionnaires and followed the participants for 12 months following the baseline data collection. Participants were asked weekly about any sports-related injury (including PF). A binary logistic regression was performed to reveal potential associations between running distance and biomechanical risk factors and PF while controlling for running distance, sex, and age. RESULTS: The total incidence of PF was 2.3% (28 PF from 1206 participants), 2.5% in runners and 2.0% in non-runners ( P = 0.248). Runners who ran more than 40 km·wk -1 had six times higher odds of suffering PF than individuals who ran 6-20 km·wk -1 ( P = 0.009). There was a significant association between maximal ankle adduction and PF; that is, runners with a lower abduction angle during the stance period had higher risk of PF ( P = 0.024). No other biomechanical variables indicated significant associations with PF. CONCLUSIONS: Regular running with a moderate weekly volume and more toeing out of the foot relative to the shank may reduce the risk against PF in runners, which may be useful for researchers, runners, coaches, and health professionals to minimize PF injury risk.

BACKGROUND: Advances in paediatric type 1 diabetes management and increased use of diabetes technology have led to improvements in glycaemia, reduced risk of severe hypoglycaemia, and improved quality of life. Since 1993, progressively lower HbA1c targets have been set. The aim of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of HbA1c, treatment regimens, and acute complications between 2013 and 2022 using data from eight national and one international paediatric diabetes registries. METHODS: In this longitudinal analysis, we obtained data from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network, Czech National Childhood Diabetes Register, Danish Registry of Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes, Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry, Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry, England and Wales' National Paediatric Diabetes Audit, Swedish Childhood Diabetes Registry, T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative, and the SWEET initiative. All children (aged ≤18 years) with type 1 diabetes with a duration of longer than 3 months were included. Investigators compared data from 2013 to 2022; analyses performed on data were pre-defined and conducted separately by each respective registry. Data on demographics, HbA1c, treatment regimen, and event rates of diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycaemia were collected. ANOVA was performed to compare means between registries and years. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to study significant breakpoints in temporal trends. FINDINGS: In 2022, data were available for 109 494 children from the national registries and 35 590 from SWEET. Between 2013 and 2022, the aggregated mean HbA1c decreased from 8·2% (95% CI 8·1-8·3%; 66·5 mmol/mol [65·2-67·7]) to 7·6% (7·5-7·7; 59·4mmol/mol [58·2-60·5]), and the proportion of participants who had achieved HbA1c targets of less than 7% (<53 mmol/mol) increased from 19·0% to 38·8% (p<0·0001). In 2013, the aggregate event rate of severe hypoglycaemia rate was 3·0 events per 100 person-years (95% CI 2·0-4·9) compared with 1·7 events per 100 person-years (1·0-2·7) in 2022. In 2013, the aggregate event rate of diabetic ketoacidosis was 3·1 events per 100 person-years (95% CI 2·0-4·8) compared with 2·2 events per 100 person-years (1·4-3·4) in 2022. The proportion of participants with insulin pump use increased from 42·9% (95% CI 40·4-45·5) in 2013 to 60·2% (95% CI 57·9-62·6) in 2022 (mean difference 17·3% [13·8-20·7]; p<0·0001), and the proportion of participants using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) increased from 18·7% (95% CI 9·5-28·0) in 2016 to 81·7% (73·0-90·4) in 2022 (mean difference 63·0% [50·3-75·7]; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION: Between 2013 and 2022, glycaemic outcomes have improved, parallel to increased use of diabetes technology. Many children had HbA1c higher than the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) 2022 target. Reassuringly, despite targeting lower HbA1c, severe hypoglycaemia event rates are decreasing. Even for children with type 1 diabetes who have access to specialised diabetes care and diabetes technology, further advances in diabetes management are required to assist with achieving ISPAD glycaemic targets.
