Overall, biological sex and developmental milestones did not account for a large proportion of variance for the eventual age of ASD diagnosis, suggesting other factors (such as IQ and the timing of initial concerns) are potentially more influential. LAY SUMMARY In this study, a later age of diagnosis in females having ASD was confirmed; however, biological sex was not the stronger predictor of age of diagnosis. Parents reported that females learned language more quickly than males, and parents noted their first concerns when females were older than males. In this sample, the strongest predictor of age of diagnosis was the age of first concerns.

To investigate the incidence and risk factors of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) in bone tumor surgeries.

This was a retrospective observational study. We investigated patients who underwent bone tumor surgeries requiring cementation as part of the surgery between March 2016 and January 2018. We reviewed medical records, including formal anesthesia records and operation notes. Patients with complete data files were included. To investigate the general incidence of BCIS in tumor surgeries, patients of all ages, genders and tumor types were included. Vital signs, including oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate, were checked and recorded once every 1-2 min after cementation. Accurate time points of cementation were recorded on formal anesthesia record sheets by the anesthesiologists. The definition and severity of BCIS were based on the classification system proposed in previous studies grade I, moderate hypoxia (SpO

 <94%) or hypotension (fall in systolic blood prastasis was the risk factor for BCIS; 40.0% of patients (16 in 40 patients) with preexisting lung cancer or metastasis had BCIS, whereas only 14.6% of patients (7 in 48 patients) without lung lesions had BCIS. There was no risk difference in terms of arthroplasty, old age, and increased blood loss. Apart from grades I and II bone cement implantation syndrome, there were no other major complications, including death, cardiovascular events, or cerebrovascular events.

Bone cement implantation syndrome is not unusual in bone tumor surgeries, and preexisting lung cancer or lung metastasis is a risk factor.

The conflict in Palestine is known to be one of the longest ongoing conflicts in the world affecting children with harmful psychological consequences. ABT-494 The purpose of this study was to explore the process of resilience among Palestinian children exposed to psychological trauma due to detention experiences.

A qualitative approach utilizing grounded theory design was used. Data collected by a semi-structured interview format from 18 Palestinian children aged 12-18 years were exposed to detention.

The study revealed four main categories with focus and initial coding subcategories. Major categories were revering and honoring the prisoners, normalizing the abnormal situations (positive adaptation), awareness and political socialization during childhood, and developing identity and belonging to the homeland. The results indicated that Palestinian children exposed to political detention had their own positive perception of the trauma and had a high level of posttraumatic maturation.

The study concluded that eld's perception about the trauma and ability to cope.

Increasing attention is being given to patients with heart failure and 'mid-range' left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, ≥40% and <50%) for whom there are no approved therapies that improve prognosis. We aim to assess for the first time the effects of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy in this patient population.

We assessed the effects of 6- month CCM therapy on functional status, exercise tolerance and quality of life in a subgroup of 53 patients with a LVEF of 40-45% recruited in previous CCM studies, including 37 patients in the CCM group and 16 in the control group. New York Heart Association classification improved by ≥1 class from baseline to 24weeks in 80.6% (95% confidence interval [62.5%, 92.5%]) of patients in the CCM group compared with 57.1% in the control group (95% confidence interval [28.9%, 82.3%], P=0.15). Six-minute walk distance increased significantly in the CCM group with a net between-group treatment effect of 53.9±74.2m (P=0.05). Peak VO

improved in the CCM group with a net between-group treatment effect of 2.0±2.8mL/kg/min (P=0.02). Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score decreased from baseline to 24weeks with a net between-group treatment effect of -13.1±21.0 (P=0.10). There were no significant differences in the adverse event rate between the CCM and control groups.

These preliminary results suggest that CCM exerts favourable effects on exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with LVEF in the range of 40-45% with an acceptable safety profile. Further randomized controlled studies are planned to prove these effects.

The arcuate foramen is a complete or partial bony bridge over the vertebral artery groove of atlas. The mechanism of the arcuate foramen is not clearly understood. Omission of the arcuate foramen sometimes causes lethal iatrogenic injury during spinal surgery.

We describe a patient who was diagnosed with multiple fractures of the cervical vertebrae, arcuate foramen, and right vertebral artery occlusion based on clinical and radiological exams. After conservative treatment, he resumed a normal and productive life.

Arcuate foramen is a common variation that causes symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and migraine. If the patient does not develop severe symptoms, conservative treatment can achieve very good results without the necessity to remove the bone bridge. When serious symptoms occur, surgical treatment to resect the bony ridges can relieve the symptoms dramatically.
