Rest‐activity rhythm phenotypes in adults with epilepsy and intellectual disability by Nandani Adhyapak, Grace E. Cardenas, Mark A. Abboud, Vaishnav Krishnan

“…We show that compared to controls, adults with epilepsy and intellectual disability (E + ID) display RARs that are more fragmented, weaker in amplitude, and unstable across days. Within our E + ID cohort, we observed a wide spectrum of RAR phenotypes that we clustered into three subtypes, which were similar in overall average measures of adaptive functioning and psychiatric symptoms.…”

Association between left atrial remodeling and early renal impairment in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes by Mingxia Gong, Min Xu, Suoya Pan, Xiaohong Jiang

“…Results (1) Analysis of variance indicated no statistically significant differences in echocardiographic data for left ventricular size or function across groups. (2) Correlation analysis after multivariable adjustment revealed that the LA minimal volume index (LAVImin) increased with the progression of DN, while the absolute value of the LA strain index(reservoir and conduit period) decreased as renal damage worsened, exhibiting a highly significant correlation with the GFR (P < 0.01). (3) Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that: LAVmin, LASr, GFR, and HbA1c were associated with MACEs in patients with DN. …”
