Background. Despite a rapid popular of early onset type 2 diabetes (defined as diagnosis at <40 years old) recently, there is a lack of studies on this population in economically undeveloped area. We aimed to investigate the risk factors of macrovascular complications in the early onset T2DM patients in Xinjiang, China. Methods. A cross-sectional survey of 1736 consecutive patients with T2DM was conducted. Macrovascular complications and risk factors were documented. Another nondiabetic population matched with age and sex was as a control group. Logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain odds ratios (OR) for macrovascular complications in early and late onset T2DM, respectively. Results. The final analysis consisted of 1036 late onset and 219 early onset T2DM patients. The mean HbA1c in the early onset group was higher than that in the late onset group (9.1 ± 2.4% versus 8.3 ± 2.2%, P=0.039) despite a higher proportion of patients in the early onset group receiving insulin treatment (73.1% versus 58.7%, P<0.001). Compared to the control, early onset patients had higher blood pressure and worse lipid profiles (all P<0.01). More than half of the early onset T2DM patients already had macro- and microvascular complications, despite of their young age (39.5 ± 10.8) and short DM duration (6.6 ± 8.0). In the early onset group, women had a ~3-fold hazard of atherosclerotic plaques compared with men (OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.53–6.78). Conclusions. Patients with early onset T2DM have worse glycemic control and higher burden of atherogenic risk factors. The prevalence of macro- and microvascular complications is astonishingly high in these young adults with T2DM. Moreover, young women with T2DM are more susceptible to cardiovascular complications than their male counterpart.

Preeclampsia is a major maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide including in Indonesia. PIGF concentrations were found to be lower and sFlt-1 to be higher in patients with preeclampsia than normal pregnancy. Futher, this factor has been proposed as a parameter that can help identify women with potentially preeclampsia.This study aims todeterminethe differences ratio level soluble rate fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor early and late onset on preeclampsia and normal pregnancy. The cross sectional study design was conducted in RSUP M.Djamil, Rasidin Hospital, Reksodiwiryo Hospital and Biomedical Laboratory of Andalas University from July 2017 until January 2018. The sample of this study was pregnant women>20-42 weeks pregnancy totalling 80 people by consecutive sampling.Sample was divided into 3 groups. SFlt-1 and PlGF levels tested using ELISA test. Test the normality of data by Kolmogrov-Smirnov test by using unpaired T test.The results showed median sFLT-1 levels in the early onset group with normal pregnancy with p= 0,88, median sFLT-1 levels in the late onset group with normal pregnancy with p= 0,01 and median levels of sFLT-1 in the early onset group with late onset with p= 0.34. Mean of PlGF in the early onset group with normal pregnancy with p=0,30, mean of PlGF in the late onset group with normal pregnancy with p= 0.63, and mean of PlGF in the early onset group with late onset with p = 0.27. The conclusion of this study was that there was a difference ratio level Soluble Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 late onset in preeclampsia and normal pregnancy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with early-onset hyperuricaemia (HUC).MethodsA retrospective study using data from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University was conducted. 623 patients with HUC were divided into early-onset group and late-onset group. Another 201 healthy subjects ≤40 years old were regarded as control group. The data of physical measurements and biochemistry test were collected. Clinical data of early-onset group were compared with late-onset group and control group by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and χ2test. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. Logistic regression was used to identify the clinical factors correlated with patients with early-onset HUC.ResultsThe patients of early-onset group had different body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), creatinine (Cr), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), TG/high density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, HDL and percentage of males, hypertension (HBP) as well as fatty liver compared with healthy people in the control group. Early-onset group patients had different albumin, ALT, fasting blood glucose, Cr, percentage of males and HBP compared with late-onset group patients. PCA identified four significant patterns including PC1 (labelled ‘TG and HDL’), PC2 (labelled ‘fatty liver and liver enzymes’), PC3 (labelled ‘TC and LDL’) and PC4 (labelled ‘AKP’). The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, HBP and albumin were correlative factors for early onset of HUC when the patients with early-onset and late-onset HUC were involved, while gender, BMI, PC1, PC2 and PC4 were correlative factors for early-onset HUC when the early-onset and control groups were involved.ConclusionThis study described a group of patients with early-onset HUC with distinct clinical features. Gender, BMI, ‘TG and HDL’, ‘fatty liver and liver enzymes’ and ‘AKP’ have higher values than HBP, type 2 diabetes mellitus and ‘TC and LDL’ in patients under 40 years old with early-onset HUC.

Abstract Objective: To identify the differences of hemodynamic profile and morphometric changes of maternal heart in normotensive and severe preeclampsia (early-onset and late-onset) pregnant women. Method: Cross-sectional study on consecutively selected 34 pregnant women which divided into three groups: normotensive group (n = 12), early-onset group (n = 11), and the late-onset group (n = 11). Conducted in the ER and inpatient care unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Sriwijaya University / Dr. Moh. Hoesin Hospital Palembang, from April 2015 - June 2015. Results: There are significant differences in CO and SVR among three groups. In early onset groups, CO values ​​are lower (3.4 + 0:27, p <0.001) with higher SVR (3100.2 + 261.3, p <0.001) compared the other two groups. There is increased of SVR in preeclamptic group compared to control, where SVR is higher in the early onset compared to late-onset group (3100.2 + 261.3 vs 2217.1 + 407.8, p <0.001), as well as differences between groups in cardiac index variables, except in the early onset group and controls (p = 0.045). In blood pressure and MAP variable, we only notice difference between the early onset group and control (p <0.001) as well as late-onset group and controls (p <0.001). There are significant differences in LVMi, LVID and LVPWT among three groups, in which the control group was lower than the other two groups (p <0.001; p = 0.049; p = 0.009), but similar in early and late-onset groups (98.7 (86.5-203) vs 132 (77.7-17.6); 4.7 (0.4) vs 4.8 (0.5); 1.1 (0.7-1.3) vs. 1.1 (0.8-1.6)). While RWT relatively similar among the three study groups (p = 0.264). A post hoc analysis showed no differences in maternal heart morphometry in early onset and late-onset group (p> 0.05). Conclusions: In severe preeclampsia there are changes in hemodynamic, ventricular morphometry, and left ventricular function. But the changes that occurred seems to be more evident in the early onset preeclampsia group of  compared than late-onset preeclampsia. Keywords: Normotensive, early onset PEB, PEB late-onset, hemodynamic profile, cardiac morphometry.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Diabetes will remain a threat to global health. The global burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus is significant and rising, with most of the increase occurring in the last two decades. While most of the rise in the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs in the middle-aged and the elderly, it is becoming more common in younger patients. No longer just a disorder of mature age, there is now a well-recognized trend toward younger people presenting with the disease. METHODS: This was a cross sectional study of medical records of adult patients at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital who met the inclusion criteria from January 2015 to December 2017. The subjects were divided into early onset (&lt;40 years of age) and the late onset (≥40 years of age) group. Mean, standard deviation, counts and percentages were used to summarize data. The mean values of continuous variables between the two groups were analyzed using the independent sample t-test while categorical variables were analyzed using Chi square test. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of age of onset and duration of diabetes to its complications. RESULTS: The mean age for the early onset group was 34 years old, while that of the late onset group was 51 years old. No gender predilection was observed in both groups. The subjects of the early onset group were mostly obese as compared to the late onset group who were mostly overweight. Both groups were mostly smokers, and had a positive family history with an almost equal proportion of females having a history of gestational diabetes. The early onset group had higher hba1c and worse lipid profiles upon diagnosis. The most common comorbid illnesses observed in both groups include hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. In terms of macrovascular complications, the frequency of myocardial infarction was higher in the late onset group. For the microvascular complications, the proportion of retinopathy was higher in the early onset group while the frequency of neuropathy was higher in the late onset group. Lastly, for both groups, the duration of diabetes was associated with microvascular complications such that for every year increase in the duration of diabetes, patients were more likely to develop retinopathy and neuropathy. CONCLUSION: The mean age of Filipinos with early onset diabetes were at least 5 years younger as compared to Caucasians. Moreover, they were more obese, had worse lipid profiles and higher Hba1C levels. Among the macrovascular and microvascular complications, a higher proportion of the late onset group had peripheral neuropathy and had history of myocardial infarction while retinopathy was more prevalent in the early onset group. Lastly, for every year increase in the duration of diabetes, patients were more likely to develop retinopathy and neuropathy.

Background: Alcohol use disorder is a serious health problem with high comorbidities. Early-onset alcohol use has been associated with greater impulsivity, increased severity of dependence, frequent alcohol withdrawal complications, externalizing symptoms, and antisocial behaviors. We aimed to evaluate the psychiatric comorbidities and severity of addiction in early- and late-onset alcohol dependence. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. All patients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of alcohol dependence as per International Classification of Diseases (10th edition) were included in it. Semi-Structured Assessment for Genetics of Alcoholism IV was applied to find the age of onset of dependence as per the lifetime frame and also to find comorbidities. Composite International Diagnostic Interview 3.0. was used to find other comorbidities. The severity of addiction was evaluated with Addiction Severity Index, 5th edition. All the sociodemographic and clinical parameters were compared between patients with the early- and late-onset alcohol dependence. Results: Out of the 112 patients screened, 57 met the selection criteria, 26 were with early-onset and 31 with late-onset alcohol dependence. The patients were all males. The patients with early-onset alcohol dependence had a higher family history (P = 0.006) and were nonearning (P = 0.002) in comparison to the group with late-onset dependence. The comorbidity among all patients was 59.6% and 84.2% in current and lifetime frames, respectively. It was significantly higher in the early-onset group, both for current (P = 0.015) and lifetime (P = 0.031) frames. On the domains of Addiction Severity Index 5th edition, the early-onset group had a more severe profile of addiction in all domains except the medical domain. Conclusion: Comorbidity is high among patients with alcohol dependence and is even higher for the early-onset group. The family history was higher in the early-onset group and they have more severe profile of substance use.

Introduction: Phenomenology is the study of subjective experience. Psychiatric diagnoses are based on cross-sectional psychopathological features, for example, the presence of rst-rank symptoms in the case of schizophrenia. Phenomenological investigation focuses on the form of experience, i.e. the way in which the content is experienced, while the content itself is of secondary importance. This study was conducted to investigate the subtle differences between early-onset group (onset before 18 years of age) and late onset (onset after age of 40 years). Aim And Objectives: To study the socio-demographic prole and phenomenology of early onset psychosis and late onset psychosis compare them based on the variables studied. It is a cross sectional observational Materials And Methods: study carried out in the Department of Psychiatry, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital during the period of June 2018- May 2019. A semi structured, self designed proforma has been used to collect the socio-demographic data and personal details of the patients and their treatment history. The ICD-10 Classication of Mental and Behavioural Disorders, WHO, 1992, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Version 4.0, Modied Kuppuswamy Socio-economic status scale were used along with. All the data that was derived from the study were analyzed by using the software IBM SPSS 21.0. Observations And Results: Mean age of presentation in early onset psychosis is 19.22 years with Standard Deviation ±5.69. Mean age of presentation in early onset psychosis is 54.5 years with Standard Deviation ±11.9. Signicantly higher ratio of male was noted in early onset group and higher ratio of female was noted in that of the late onset group. Somatic concern, anxiety, depression and suspiciousness was signicantly more in late onset psychosis. In comparison to the group of late onset psychosis, self-neglect, blunted affect, emotional withdrawn, motor retardation, motor hyperactivity, mannerisms and posturing were signicantly more in early-onset psychosis. Major distinction was noted in the Conclusion: distribution of delusional disorders and acute and transient psychotic disorders. Age of onset was skewed to late adolescence with more number of male patients. Late onset psychosis group had more uneducated patients with considerable proportion of adults left unmarried in the late onset group. Late onset psychosis group shows predominance of somatic concern, anxiety, depression and suspiciousness in contrast to early onset psychosis group which shows predominance of motor hyperactivity, self-neglect, blunted affect, motor retardation, mannerisms and posturing

This study aimed to identify differences in clinical and dietary characteristics, serum adipokine levels, and metabolomic profiles between early- and late-onset gout. Eighty-three men with gout were divided into an early-onset group (n = 38, aged < 40 years) and a late-onset group (n = 45, aged ≥ 40 years). Dietary and clinical information was obtained at baseline. Serum adipokines, including adiponectin, resistin, leptin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), were quantified by a Luminex multiplex immunoassay. Metabolite expression levels in plasma were measured in 22 representative samples using metabolomics analysis based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Average body mass index, rate of consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in the early-onset group (p < 0.05), as was the PAI-I concentration (105.01 ± 42.45 ng/mL vs. 83.76 ± 31.16 ng/mL, p = 0.013). Changes in levels of metabolites mostly involved those related to lipid metabolism. In the early-onset group, acylcarnitine analog and propylparaben levels were downregulated and negatively correlated with the PAI-1 concentration whereas LPC (22:6) and LPC (18:0) levels were upregulated and positively correlated with the PAI-1 concentration. Dietary and clinical features, serum adipokine concentrations, and metabolites differed according to whether the gout is early-onset or late-onset. The mechanisms of gout may differ between these groups and require different treatment approaches.

One hundred and seven newly diagnosed, untreated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) were divided into two groups according to their age at reported onset of symptoms. Of these, 79 patients were under age 70 (early-onset) and 28 patients were age 70 and over (late-onset). The group of 50 control subjects comprised spouses, friends of the PD patients, and community volunteers. The patients were participants in a multicenter drug study of Parkinson's disease. Each had received a detailed neurological and neuropsychological assessment in the baseline placebo phases of the study. Thirty-4 patients with early-onset and 12 patients with late-onset were reassessed 3 years after treatment with low-dose levodopa, with bromocriptine, or with a combination of the two drugs. The results of the baseline phase of the study revealed that 8% of the early-onset group and 32% of the late-onset group were classified as demented. The 3-year follow-up revealed that the prevalence of dementia had increased to 17% in the early-onset group and to 83% in the late-onset group. This study confirms that at least two distinct subtypes of Parkinson's disease exist. The subtypes differ both clinically and neuropsychologically. The age at onset of symptoms is a critical determinant of the rate and type of cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease.

ObjectiveTo describe the characteristics of patients with very-late-onset myasthenia gravis (MG).MethodsThis observational cross-sectional multicenter study was based on information in the neurologist-driven Spanish Registry of Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD-ES). All patients were >18 years of age at onset of MG and onset occurred between 2000 and 2016 in all cases. Patients were classified into 3 age subgroups: early-onset MG (age at onset <50 years), late-onset MG (onset ≥50 and <65 years), and very-late-onset MG (onset ≥65 years). Demographic, immunologic, clinical, and therapeutic data were reviewed.ResultsA total of 939 patients from 15 hospitals were included: 288 (30.7%) had early-onset MG, 227 (24.2%) late-onset MG, and 424 (45.2%) very-late-onset MG. The mean follow-up was 9.1 years (SD 4.3). Patients with late onset and very late onset were more frequently men (p < 0.0001). Compared to the early-onset and late-onset groups, in the very-late-onset group, the presence of anti–acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR) antibodies (p < 0.0001) was higher and fewer patients had thymoma (p < 0.0001). Late-onset MG and very-late-onset MG groups more frequently had ocular MG, both at onset (<0.0001) and at maximal worsening (p = 0.001). Although the very-late-onset group presented more life-threatening events (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America IVB and V) at onset (p = 0.002), they required fewer drugs (p < 0.0001) and were less frequently drug-refractory (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsPatients with MG are primarily ≥65 years of age with anti-AChR antibodies and no thymoma. Although patients with very-late-onset MG may present life-threatening events at onset, they achieve a good outcome with fewer immunosuppressants when diagnosed and treated properly.

Abstract Background Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) has been shown to be associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with various solid tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the timing and degree of chemo-induced neutropenia (CIN) and short-term efficacy and survival in newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 236 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients who received at least 6 cycles of R-CHOP (like) or CHOP (like) between January 2012 and December 2018. According to the occurrence time of CIN, subjects were divided into CIN-absent group, early-onset CIN group and late-onset CIN group. According to the degree of CIN, they were divided into CIN-absent group, mild (grade 1-2) CIN group, and severe (grade 3-4) CIN group. Short-term efficacy was evaluated after 4 cycles of treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and the Cox proportional hazards model was applied to determine the correlation between the timing and extent of CIN and clinical features, short-term efficacy, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results After 4 treatment cycles, the objective response rate (ORR) of the early-onset group was higher than that of in the late-onset group and CIN absent group (95.7% VS 88.4% VS 81.0%). Multivariate analysis, Ann Arbor staging, choice of treatment plan and CIN timing were the independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS. OS and PFS in the early-onset group were longer than those of in the absent group [OS (HR:0.241; 95%CI: 0.110-0.530; P < 0.001), PFS (HR: 0.313; 95%CI: 0.169-0.579; P < 0.001)] and late-onset group [OS (HR: 0.332; 95%CI: 0.161- 0.685; P = 0.003), PFS (HR: 0.376; 95%CI: 0.204-0.693; P = 0.002)].Conclusions The timing of CIN is an independent predictor of prognosis in DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP (like) or CHOP (like) regimens, and patients with early-onset CIN have longer survival times. The degree of CIN is not an independent predictor of prognosis in patients with DLBCL.
