About The Study: Pet ownership was associated with slower rates of decline in verbal memory and verbal fluency among older adults living alone, but not among those living with others in this study of 7,900 participants age 50 and older. Pet ownership offset the associations between living alone and declining rates in verbal memory and verbal fluency. Further studies are needed to assess whether pet ownership slows the rate of cognitive decline in older adults living alone. 

Authors: Ciyong Lu, Ph.D., of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: In this study of 8,000 participants, negative wealth shock (a loss of 75% or more in total wealth over a 2-year period) was associated with accelerated cognitive decline and elevated risks of dementia among middle-aged and older U.S. adults, with modifications by age and ethnicity. These findings should be confirmed by further prospective and interventional studies.

About The Study: Private equity acquisition of hospitals, on average, was associated with increased hospital-acquired adverse events despite a likely lower-risk pool of admitted Medicare beneficiaries, suggesting poorer quality of inpatient care. These findings heighten concerns about the implications of private equity on health care delivery. 

Authors: Zirui Song, M.D., Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School in Boston, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 randomized clinical trials with an effective population size of 2,786 patients suggest that daily tooth brushing may be associated with significantly lower rates of hospital-acquired pneumonia, particularly in patients receiving mechanical ventilation, lower rates of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, and shorter ICU length of stay. Policies and programs encouraging more widespread and consistent toothbrushing are warranted. 

Authors: Michael Klompas, M.D., M.P.H., of Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute in Boston, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: This study found that patients screened in the emergency department (ED) were more likely to screen positive for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) needs, which is not surprising given utilization patterns. Patients with SDOH needs have limited health care access and are more likely to use the ED than primary care. Although primary care–based screening found lower SDOH needs relative to the ED, primary care may be better optimized to follow and ultimately address SDOH needs.

About The Study: The findings of this diagnostic study of 1,890 eyes of 958 participants support the potential of artificial intelligence as an objective tool in screening for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and possibly for symptom severity using retinal photographs. Retinal photograph use may speed the ASD screening process, which may help improve accessibility to specialized child psychiatry assessments currently strained by limited resources. 

Authors: Yu Rang Park, Ph.D., and Keun-Ah Cheon, M.D., Ph.D., of the Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Republic of Korea, are the corresponding authors.

About The Study: In this study including 4,819 women with benign breast disease (BBD) in the percutaneous biopsy era, overall risk of breast cancer was increased versus the general population (ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer combined), similar to that in historical BBD cohorts. Development and validation of pathologic classifications including both BBD severity and multiplicity may enable improved breast cancer risk stratification.

About The Study: The findings from this study using 2016-2021 data on 10,000 adolescents in the U.S. suggest that pregnant adolescents increasingly used e-cigarettes, with the highest use among white adolescents. Results from this analysis found that, unlike cigarette use, e-cigarette use during late pregnancy was not statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of small-for-gestational-age birth among adolescents. Due to the uncertainty of this nonsignificant association, future research could benefit from a larger sample size.

About The Study: High body mass index (BMI) in late adolescence was associated with early chronic kidney disease in young adulthood in this study that included 593,000 adolescents. The risk was also present in seemingly healthy individuals with high-normal BMI and before 30 years of age, and a greater risk was seen among those with severe obesity. These findings underscore the importance of mitigating adolescent obesity rates and managing risk factors for kidney disease in adolescents with high BMI.

About The Study: Using metformin plus insulin to treat preexisting type 2 or gestational diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy did not reduce a composite neonatal adverse outcome in a randomized clinical trial of 794 pregnant adults. The effect of reduction in odds of a large-for-gestational-age infant observed after adding metformin to insulin warrants further investigation.

About The Study: In a multicenter observational cohort, a composite adverse pregnancy outcome (small-for-gestational-age birth, medically indicated preterm birth, stillbirth, or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy) was more frequent in pregnant individuals with cannabis exposure ascertained by a urine drug assay compared with unexposed individuals. The risk for an adverse outcome was higher among those who continued to use cannabis beyond the first trimester.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that persistent COVID-19 symptoms and, to a lesser extent, previous severe COVID-19 were associated with increased odds of pandemic-related economic hardship in a cohort of U.S. families. The economic consequences of COVID-19 varied according to socioeconomic status; families with lower income before the pandemic were more vulnerable to employment disruptions and earnings losses associated with an adult family member’s COVID-19 illness.

Authors: Nicole L. Hair, Ph.D., of the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health in Columbia, is the corresponding author.

On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication. 

 

About The Study: This study found that during 2016 to 2022, the rate and size of opioid prescriptions from U.S. surgeons declined, but these declines were slower after mid-2020 compared with before 2020. During the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid dispensing rate declined, potentially owing to decreased surgical volume, while opioid prescription size increased, potentially because surgeons wrote larger discharge prescriptions owing to barriers to obtaining refills. However, these changes were transient. 

Authors: Kao-Ping Chua, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, is the corresponding author.

Posted by Jim Michalski

JAMA Dermatology

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 8:15 A.M. (ET), WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2023

Media advisory: The full study is linked to this news release. This study is being released to coincide with presentation at Journées Dermatologiques de Paris 2023.

About The Study: The findings of this case series of 21 patients suggest that bimekizumab could be an appealing approach for treating palmoplantar pustulosis, palmoplantar plaque psoriasis with pustules, and SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) syndrome. Bimekizumab is an anti–IL-17A and anti–IL-17F antibody therapy that has been useful for treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Prospective randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm these encouraging initial results.

Authors: Thierry Passeron, M.D., Ph.D., of the Université Côte d’Azur in Nice, France, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional analysis of the U.S. adult population, 63% of adults had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The economic burden of ACE-related health conditions was substantial. The findings suggest that measuring the economic burden of ACEs can support decision-making about investing in strategies to improve population health.

About The Study: This survey study with 1,357 respondents demonstrates that stigmatizing attitudes toward patients with acne existed across a variety of social and professional scenarios, with severe acne and acne in darker skin tone being associated with a greater degree of stigma. These findings highlight the need to identify approaches to reduce stigmatizing attitudes in the community and for adequate access to care, which might prevent negative downstream effects related to these stigmatizing attitudes.

Authors: John S. Barbieri, M.D., M.B.A., of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, is the corresponding author.

On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication. 

 

About The Study: This randomized clinical trial found that a single health care worker-collected throat specimen had higher sensitivity for rapid antigen testing for SARS-CoV-2 than a nasal specimen. In contrast, the self-collected nasal specimens had higher sensitivity than throat specimens for symptomatic participants. Adding a throat specimen to the standard practice of collecting a single nasal specimen could improve sensitivity for rapid antigen testing in health care and home-based settings.
