Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...

Assessing walkability

Western Geography, 2016
Walkability, a measure of how well-suited an area is to walking, has often been quantified through walkability index audits. This study aims to compare the indices of Pedestrian Environment Data Scan (PEDS), Pedestrian Environmental Quality Index (PEQI), and Walk Score in the study area of the James Kennedy Elementary School catchment zone in the ...
