Twin birth weight discordance and risk of pre-term birth
Background and Objective: The association between discordant growth and the complication of twin pregnancy has been recognized for more than 30 years. Recent publications have presented evidence that 30% or even 40% discordance presents the threshold for

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and early child outcomes [PDF]
We estimate the harm from smoking during pregnancy upon child birth outcomes, using a rich dataset on a cohort of mothers and their births. We exploit a fixed effects approach to disentangle the correlation between smoking and birth weight from the ...

Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging of Tissue Microstructure and Early Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective Conventional MRI cannot resolve the coexisting pathological processes within multiple sclerosis tissue. Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging decomposes the diffusion signal into fiber, cell, and hindered ratios indexing axonal integrity, cellularity, and extracellular space, respectively.

Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing
ABSTRACT Juvenile Huntington disease accounts for a small fraction of Huntington disease cases and is driven by the largest trinucleotide repeat expansions. We describe a 6‐year‐old boy with progressive global regression, generalized dystonia, and epilepsy, in whom serial imaging showed striking cerebellar‐predominant atrophy with an initially normal ...

Myostatin/Smad3 in Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Biomarkers of Disease Severity and Treatment Response
ABSTRACT Objective Given the role of Myostatin (MSTN) in muscle homeostasis and its modulation by current spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) therapies, we investigated serum MSTN and, for the first time, its downstream effector Smad3 as candidate non‐invasive biomarkers in SMA patients undergoing disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs).
