Transmission factors and exposure to infections at work and invasive pneumococcal disease
Abstract Background Working in close contacts with coworkers or the general public may be associated with transmission of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We investigated whether crowded workplaces, sharing surfaces, and exposure to infections were factors associated with IPD.

Two SOX11 variants cause Coffin–Siris syndrome with a new feature of sensorineural hearing loss
Abstract Coffin‐Siris syndrome (CSS, OMIM#135900) is a rare congenital disorder associated with neurodevelopmental and dysmorphic features. The primary cause of CSS is pathogenic variants in any of 9 BAF chromatin‐remodeling complex encoding genes or the genes SOX11 and PHF6. Herein, we performed whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and a series of analyses of

Clinical overview on RASopathies
Abstract RASopathies comprise a group of clinically overlapping developmental disorders caused by genetic variations affecting components or modulators of the RAS‐MAPK signaling cascade, which lead to dysregulation of signal flow through this pathway.

Neuroimaging for differential diagnosis of transient neurological attacks
Abstract Background Rapid yet comprehensive neuroimaging protocols are required for patients with suspected acute stroke. However, stroke mimics can account for approximately one in five clinically diagnosed acute ischemic strokes and the rate of thrombolyzed mimics can be as high as 17%.

Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome due to DOCK8 deficiency: An adjunctive role for omalizumab
We report a rare case of AR‐HIES with DOCK8 deficiency in a young male that was successfully treated by infection management, skincare, diet elimination, and omalizumab. Abstract Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome (AR‐HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by high serum IgE levels, recurrent viral skin infections, severe ...

Abstract TATA‐binding protein associated factor 4 (TAF4) is a subunit of the Transcription Factor IID (TFIID) complex, a central player in transcription initiation. Other members of this multimeric complex have been implicated previously as monogenic disease genes in human developmental disorders.

Subjective Fatigue in Children With Unaided and Aided Unilateral Hearing Loss
Objectives Fatigue is frequently observed in children with chronic diseases and can affect the quality of life (QoL). However, research in children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) is scarce. Subsequently, no studies investigated the effects of hearing aids on fatigue in children.

Abstract Objectives To explore the impact of various measurements of long‐term health conditions (LTCs) on the resulting prevalence estimates using data from a nationally representative dataset. Methods Children and young people in the Millennium Cohort Study were followed at ages 3, 5, 7, 11, and 14 years (N = 15,631).

Structures and functions of cilia during vertebrate embryo development
Abstract Cilia are hair‐like structures that project from the surface of cells. In vertebrates, most cells have an immotile primary cilium that mediates cell signaling, and some specialized cells assemble one or multiple cilia that are motile and beat synchronously to move fluids in one direction.

Childhood ear infections are highly prevalent and diagnosed with the otoscope. Frequently, however, this view is obstructed by cerumen, complicating clinician assessment and appropriate and effective management. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) otoscope capable of capturing both depth‐resolved OCT images and digital color surface images was used ...
