We expanded the genetic spectrum of Traboulsi syndrome with a novel frameshift variant in the
gene. We showed that lensectomy followed by gas-permeable contact lenses is an efficient therapeutic approach to treat lens subluxation in Traboulsi syndrome. However, lifelong follow-up is crucial to avoid (late) postoperative complications.

Rates of maternal vaccination against influenza are extremely low in India. An expert panel of obstetric-gynecologists and pediatricians met to develop consensus-based recommendations for improving awareness of the benefits of influenza vaccination during pregnancy in India.
The group discussed experiences of influenza infection in pregnancy and infancy before focusing on maternal vaccination practices in India, including the degree of communication between obstetric-gynecologists and pediatricians and opinions on optimal timing for vaccination. The impact of inconsistent vaccine prescription practices by healthcare providers was discussed, as well as current clinical recommendations on maternal influenza vaccination.
Although clinical evidence demonstrates the benefit of maternal influenza vaccination in any trimester, influenza vaccination is not widely accepted in India as an integral part of antenatal care. There is a lack of familiarity among obstetricians of clinical guidelines on maternal inflto offer vaccination to this high-risk group for severe influenza disease should be considered.Background and purpose - Hip arthroscopies (HAs) have increased exponentially worldwide and are expected to continue rising. We describe time trends in HA procedures in Sweden (10 million inhabitants) between 2006 and 2018 with a focus on procedure rates, surgical procedures, and patient demographics such as age and sex distribution.Patients and methods - We retrospectively collected data from the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) for all surgeries including surgical treatment codes considered relevant for HA from 2006 to 2018. Surgical codes were validated through a multiple-step procedure and classified into femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) related or non-FAIS related procedure. Frequencies, sex differences, and time trends of surgical procedures and patient demographics are presented.Results - After validation of HA codes, 6,105 individual procedures, performed in 4,924 patients (mean age 34 years [SD 12]) were confirmed HAs and included in the analysis. check details Yearly HA procedure rates increased from 15 in 2006 to 884 in 2014, after which a steady decline was observed with 469 procedures in 2018. The majority (65%) of HAs was performed in males. Male patients were younger, and surgeries on males more frequently included an FAIS-related procedure.Interpretation - Similar to previous studies in other parts of the world, we found dramatic increases in HA procedures in Sweden between 2006 and 2014. Contrary to existing predictions, HA rates declined steadily after 2014, which may be explained by more restrictive patient selection based on refined surgical indications, increasing evidence, and clinical experience with the procedure.
Evaluate the association between health relate quality of life and sexual desire in postmenopausal women and the influence of demographic descriptors on sexual desire.
A observational-cross-sectional study was conducted in 521 postmenopausal women in La Zarzuela Hospital between 2018-2020. Cervantes-short form (Cervantes-SF) scale and Brief profile female sexual function (B-PFSF) scale were filled out in the consultation. High score in Cervantes-SF implies worse health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). If score is lower or equal to 20 in B-PFSF implies diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
There is a positive relationship between HR-QoL measured by Cervantes-SF and sexual desire measured by B-PFSF (
< .001; correlation coefficient .223). The mean score on Cervantes-SF was 30.8 ± 14.9 and on B-PFSF was 18.7 ± 7.4. The B-PFSF score was worse in those women using systemic or vaginal hormonal treatment versus using non-hormonal treatment (18.7 ± 7.8 or 17.2 ± 7.4 vs 19.7 ± 6.5;
= .033. Smoking (b exp .384;
= .029) and using vaginal hormonal treatment (b exp 1.759;
= .033) are independent factors related to sexual desire. No difference was found in the wellbeing perceived by women in the different treatments (mean of minimal clinically important difference score was 2.9 in systemic vs. 3.0 in vaginal hormonal treatment).
Improvement on HR-QoL is related to improvement on sexual desire. Sexual desire is better in women with non-hormonal treatment than in women with systemic or vaginal hormonal treatment. The vaginal hormonal treatment and being current smoker are independent factors of low and high sexual desire, respectively.

Participants heard an audio recording of someone discussing details of a crime he had committed, and they then completed filler tasks designed to mislead them as to the study's true purpose. After this short delay, participants had particularly poor recall for names in association with roles in the crime compared to other details about the crime. Their name errors sometimes implicated innocent people, a disturbing finding given the potential ramifications for people incriminated by witnesses reporting hearsay. Somewhat reassuringly, participants frequently did not provide a guess for the name when they were uncertain about who did what, and they reported reduced confidence in their name recall, with particularly low confidence when they recalled incorrect name information. Findings establish the pronounced difficulty of proper name learning in incidental learning conditions, and results suggest that earwitness testimony involving name recall should be treated with particular caution.
