68). IRM at 30 days was 5%, without differences by donor type (P = .106). Overall, 208 patients experienced ≥1 VIs (first occurrence among CMV, HHV6, ADV, BKPyV-HC) at a median time of 20 days after HSCT CIF at 90 days was 91%, significantly higher in MUD and haplo (P = .0089). By multivariate analysis, also acute GVHD grade ≥2 (AHR = 1.32) and host/donor CMV-serology mismatch (positive/positive versus negative/negative AHR = 2.95, positive/negative versus negative/negative AHR = 2.41, negative/positive versus negative/negative AHR = 2.35) affected VIs occurrence. IRM at 180 days was 8%, without differences among donor types (P = .106). In conclusion, study results did not show a significant impact of donor type on PE-BSI incidence; conversely, MUD and haploidentical transplants retained a higher occurrence of VIs in the early phase after HSCT. BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis is a prevalent disease, which can be classed as seasonal (SAR) or perennial. In addition to nasal symptoms, up to 75% of sufferers experience itching, redness, and tearing of the eyes. Intranasal corticosteroids are effective in controlling the allergic nasal symptoms, and increasing evidence suggests that they also can relieve some of the allergic ocular symptoms. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the magnitude of efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) compared with placebo or fluticasone propionate (FP) on ocular symptom improvement in patients with SAR. METHODS A meta-analysis of summary data from 8 randomized, double- or single-blind trials, assessing mean change in total or individual (tearing, redness, and itching) eye symptoms was conducted. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pd123319.html PD123319] Trials that administered a daily dose of 220 μg TAA vs placebo or 200 μg FP over at least 2 weeks' duration, in patients aged 12 years or older with SAR, were analyzed. RESULTS Total eye symptom reduction after 2 weeks was greater with TAA than placebo, with a mean treatment difference of -0.32 (95% CI, -0.444 to -0.203). In addition, significant reductions in tearing, but not itching or redness, were observed after TAA treatment compared with placebo. No significant treatment difference was seen between TAA and FP in total ocular symptoms at any of the time points measured (weeks 1, 2, 3, and overall). All treatments exhibited similar safety profiles and were deemed well tolerated. CONCLUSION The meta-analysis demonstrated the positive clinical improvements TAA has on total ocular allergy symptoms, especially tearing, in addition to its recognized nasal symptom efficacy in SAR. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to identify the most appropriate threshold for Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) diagnosis and the impact of potential changes in diagnostic rules on prevalence levels in the community. METHOD Trained psychologists evaluated 3,562 pre-adolescents/early adolescents from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort with the Development and Well-Being Behavior Assessment (DAWBA). The clinical threshold was assessed in three stages symptomatic, syndromic and clinical operationalization. The symptomatic threshold identified the response category in each DAWBA item which separates normative misbehavior from a clinical indicator. The syndromic threshold identified the number of irritable mood and outbursts needed to capture pre-adolescents/early adolescents with high symptom levels. Clinical operationalization compared the impact of AND/OR rules for combining irritable mood and outbursts on impairment and levels of psychopathology. RESULTS At the symptomatic threshold, most irritable mood items were normative in their lowest response categories and clinically significant in their highest response categories. For outbursts some indicated a symptom even when present at only a mild level, while others did not indicate symptoms at any level. At the syndromic level, a combination of 2 out of 7 irritable mood and 3 out of 8 outburst indicators accurately captured a cluster of individuals with high level of symptoms. Analysis combining irritable mood and outbursts delineated non-overlapping aspects of DMDD, providing support for the OR rule in clinical operationalization. The best DMDD criteria resulted in a prevalence of 3%. CONCLUSION Results provide information for initiatives aiming to provide data-driven and clinically oriented operationalized criteria for DMDD. AIMS Obesity measurement is a vital component of most type 2 diabetes screening tests; while studies had shown that waist circumference (WC) is a better predictor in South Asians, there is evidence that BMI is also effective. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of BMIWC, a composite measure, against BMI and WC. METHODS Using data from a nationwide randomized cluster sample survey (NMB-2017), we analyzed 7496 adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes. WC, BMI, and BMIWC were evaluated using Odds Ratio (OR), and Classification scores (Sensitivity, Specificity, and Accuracy). These were validated using Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) by replacing WC with BMI and BMIWC, and calculating Sensitivity, Specificity, and Accuracy. RESULTS BMIWC had higher OR (2·300) compared to WC (1·87) and BMI (2·26). WC, BMI, and BMIWC were all highly Sensitive (0·75, 0·81, 0·70 resp.). But BMIWC had significantly higher Specificity (0.36) when compared to WC and BMI (0.27 each). IDRSWC, IDRSBMI, and IDRSBMIWC were all highly Sensitive (0·87, 0·88, 0·82 resp.). But IDRSBMIWC had significantly higher Specificity (0·39) compared to IDRSWC and IDRSBMI (0·30, 0·31 resp.). CONCLUSIONS Both WC and BMI are good predictors of risk for T2DM, but BMIWC is a better predictor, with higher Specificity; this may indicate that Indians with high values of both central (high WC) and general (BMI &gt; 23) obesity carry higher risk for type 2 diabetes than either one in isolation. Using BMIWC in IDRS improves its performance on Accuracy and Specificity. AIMS To examine the association between dietary anti-inflammatory index (D-AII) and metabolic syndrome (MetS)prevalence, 10-year (2002-2012) diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia incidence and 10-year transition from healthy (absence of all MetS traits, excluding waist circumference) to unhealthy metabolic status. METHODS In 2001-2002, n&nbsp;=&nbsp;1514 men and n&nbsp;=&nbsp;1528 women (&gt;18&nbsp;years old) in Athens, Greece, free of cardiovascular disease were recruited. MetS was defined according to the revised NCEP ATP III (2005) or the IDF criteria or the harmonized criteria. The validated D-AII was calculated using a standardized procedure (range 10-77). RESULTS Inverse associations were observed between D-AII and transition from healthy to unhealthy metabolic status (Odds Ratio (OR)3rd vs. 1st tertile&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.88 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI)(0.73, 0.98)) and diabetes (OR3rd vs. 1st tertile&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.55, 95%CI(0.29, 0.77)). In women, D-AII was inversely associated with transition from healthy to unhealthy metabolic status (OR3rd vs.
