Here, the Adaptiva® achieved reduced bone density loss as compared to the Evolution-K®.Bracing is an effective non-operative treatment, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The relationship between patients' quality of life (QOL) and brace wear adherence has been reported. This study aims to determine brace wear adherence for AIS patients with novel questionnaire. A nested case-control study was conducted, included patient age 10-18 years, coronal Cobb angle 20-50°, and Risser grade 0-3. Correlation between patients' QOL and the average hours of daily brace-wear were determined. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on brace wear adherence and were compared. QOL domains associated with the incompleteness of brace-wearing were determined by Cox proportional-hazards regression. Mean age of patients was 13.3 years (range 11-17.3 years) with initial Cobb angle of 33.5° (range 20-48°). There were significant negative correlations between total QOL scores and brace wearing time. Increased social domain scores was significantly associated with less brace wearing time (HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.12-2.04). Significant correlations between patients' QOL and the average hours per day of brace wear. Poor social QOL have a significant impact on brace wear adherence. COVID-19 has stronger infectivity and ahigherrisk forseverity than mostother contagious respiratory illnesses. Themechanisms underlying this difference remain unclear. We compared the immunological landscape betweenCOVID-19 and two other contagious respiratory illnesses (influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) by clustering analysis of the three diseases based on 27 immune signatures' scores. We identified three immune subtypes Immunity-H, Immunity-M, and Immunity-L, which displayed high, medium, and low immune signatures, respectively. We found 20%, 35.5%, and 44.5% of COVID-19 cases included in Immunity-H, Immunity-M, and Immunity-L, respectively; all influenza cases were included in Immunity-H; 66.7% and 33.3% of RSV cases belonged to Immunity-H and Immunity-L, respectively. These data indicate that most COVID-19 patients have weaker immune signatures than influenza and RSV patients, as evidenced by22 of the 27 immune signatures having lower enrichment scores in COVID-19 than in influenza and/or RSV.The Immunity-M COVID-19 patients had the highest expression levels of and and lowestviral loads and werethe youngest. In contrast, the Immunity-H COVID-19 patients had the lowest expression levels of and and highestviral loads and werethe oldest. Most immune signatures had lower enrichment levels in the intensive care unit(ICU) than in non-ICU patients. Gene ontology analysis showed that the innate and adaptive immune responses were significantly downregulated in COVID-19 versus healthy individuals. Compared to influenza and RSV, COVID-19 displayed significantly different immunologicalprofiles. Elevated immune signatures are associated with better prognosis in COVID-19 patients.Compared to influenza and RSV, COVID-19 displayed significantly different immunological profiles.

Diet and exercise are behavioural contributors to physical health, and research suggests they are influenced by psychiatric symptoms, including PTSD. Objectives The aim of this study was to examine longitudinal associations between PTSD and exercise and diet quality and to test if emotion regulation strategies contribute to the link between PTSD and these health behaviours. Method A representative sample of US military veterans (n = 860 at Time 1, n = 503 at Time 2, mean age = 63 years, 91.5% male) were assessed twice over the course of approximately three years. Results Mediation models revealed that the association between baseline PTSD symptom severity and subsequent diet quality was mediated by emotion suppression (measured at Time 2; indirect B = -.03; 95% CI -.059 to -.002). Trauma exposure also directly predicted diet quality (B = -.31; p = .003). There were no significant direct or indirect associations between PTSD severity or trauma exposure and exercise engagement. Conclusions These results suggest that PTSD symptoms are associated with worse diet quality and that the consumption of unhealthy food may be driven by efforts to suppress emotion. This carries implications for understanding and treating medical comorbidities among those with traumatic stress.Background The formulations of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the newly included disorder complex PTSD (CPTSD) in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) have not been evaluated on a broad range of maladaptive personality traits. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD on maladaptive personality traits. Method In a cross-sectional study of 106 Danish outpatients with ICD-10 PTSD, we used the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) to identify patients with either ICD-11 PTSD or CPTSD (N = 84). We utilized the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) from the alternative model of personality disorders in DSM-5, section III, to evaluate personality trait differences between ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD. Furthermore, PID-5 was also used to investigate relationships between personality traits and ICD-11 PTSD/CPTSD symptom clusters. The Life Event Checklist was used to assess traumatic experiences, and the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Inter the severity of the personality features.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1590/1980-57642018dn13-020013.].Epilepsy, a chronic neurological condition which is associated with neurobiological and psychosocial changes, affects 0.5 to 1% of the world's population, presenting in most cases a deficit in reasoning, memory and attention. To contribute to the implementation of screening strategies for cognitive decline and memory deficits in patients with epilepsy. Two questionnaires, MMSE and MoCA, were used in this cross-sectional and observational study. Fifty-four patients diagnosed with different types of epilepsy (55% refractory) were assessed; they were all over 18 years old, of both genders, with autonomy to answer the questionnaire. They were followed exclusively at an outpatient clinic of the Neurology Service Department, specialized in epilepsy, which is part of the tertiary healthcare level of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). The final sample consisted of 54 patients. check details There was a significant correlation (p<0.001) between the scores of both tests, indicating that low values in the MMSE score also corresponded to low values in the MoCA score.
