question:
Context: This study evaluated risk factors for acute wheeze in preschool children and investigated whether subnormal levels of vitamin D were associated with increased risk for acute wheeze, atopy or viral/bacterial respiratory infections.', 'We recruited 130 children with acute wheeze, aged 6\xa0months to 4\xa0years, from paediatric emergency departments in Stockholm, Sweden, and 101 age-matched controls with no history of wheeze or sensitisation to airborne allergens. Parents answered standardised questionnaires, and blood samples were analysed for specific IgE to airborne and food allergens and levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). Nasopharyngeal virus samples were collected during the emergency department visit in the group of children with wheeze, and a subset were also tested for bacteria.', 'Vitamin D insufficiency (25(OH)D\xa0<\xa075\xa0nmol/L (30\xa0ng/mL)) was associated with an odds ratio of 2.7 (95% confidence interval 1.1-6.2) for acute wheeze. However, no association was found between vitamin D insufficiency and atopy, presence of virus or bacteria or recurrent infections. Children older than 24\xa0months were particularly at risk of subnormal vitamin D levels, irrespective of wheezing history.
Answer: Our findings support the hypothesis that subnormal levels of vitamin D are associated with acute wheeze in young children.
answer:
Are subnormal levels of vitamin D associated with acute wheeze in young children?


question:
Context: This study was designed to examine the course of psychological distress and pain from study entry to death in 59 women with metastatic breast cancer participating in a randomized trial of the effects of group psychotherapy on psychosocial outcomes and survival. It was hypothesized that psychological distress would increase significantly before death independent of changes in pain.', 'Data were collected as part of a larger study (N = 125). Analyses were based on data from a subset of women who had died and for whom we had data from at least three assessments. Mean levels of mood, trauma symptoms, depression symptoms, well-being, and pain over three time points were examined: at baseline (T1), the second-to-last assessment before death (T2), and the last assessment before death (T3).', 'Results indicate that while psychological distress remained relatively constant or declined from T1 to T2, means on all measures significantly changed in the hypothesized direction from T2 to T3. Neither self-reported pain, nor the passage of time, appeared to account for these changes. Additionally, participation in group psychotherapy did not have a significant impact on this change in distress proximal to death.
Answer: Results suggest that specialized end-stage clinical interventions are particularly needed for cancer patients as they approach death. Moreover, intervention studies for patients with deteriorating illnesses may need to take this "spike" in psychological distress and pain proximal to death into account to avoid Type II errors in evaluations of psychological outcomes.
answer:
Do psychological distress and pain significantly increase before death in metastatic breast cancer patients?


question:
Context: The SAH gene locus has recently been proposed to be involved in obesity-related hypertension in Japanese individuals.', 'To replicate independently the initial findings in another ethnic group, we scanned the entire SAH gene in 190 Caucasian chromosomes. A total of 651 patients with essential hypertension and 776 controls (PEGASE Study) were genotyped for all identified variants using allele-specific oligonucleotides, and single nucleotide polymorphism as well as haplotype analyses were carried out. We also performed transient transfection experiments, northern and western blots, immunoprecipitation, and acyl-coenzyme A synthetase activity assays.', 'We identified five polymorphisms in the promoter region (C-1808T, G-1606A, -962ins/del, G-451A, T-67C), two in introns 5 and 7 (T+9/In5C, A+20/In7T), and one missense variant (K359N). Carriage of the -1606A allele was significantly associated with hypertension [odds ratio (OR) 1.28, P = 0.049] as was 359N (OR 1.35, P = 0.048) compared with non-carriers. Conversely, for -962del, the OR for hypertension was 0.80 (P = 0.042). The SAH alleles -1606A and 359N, but not -962ins/del, displayed a raising effect on body mass index (BMI; P = 0.004 and P = 0.030, respectively) in hypertensive as well as in control individuals. After adjustment for BMI in hypertensive individuals, only the OR associated with -962ins/del remained significant (OR 0.77, P = 0.028). Functional analyses in BHK did not reveal differences for SAH 359N or 359K-containing constructs, formally excluding K359N as the functional variant.
Answer: We confirm recent evidence that the SAH locus is associated with obesity-related hypertension, in which pathophysiological context SAH variants affecting blood pressure remain, however, to be shown.
answer:

Are sAH gene variants associated with obesity-related hypertension in Caucasians : the PEGASE Study?
