Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes; also known as "squint") comprises a common heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by a constant or intermittent ocular deviation often associated with amblyopia (uniocular failure of normal visual development) and reduced or absent binocular vision. The associated poor cosmetic appearance may also interfere with social and psychological development....
Lawrence L. Wu is professor and chair, and Jui-Chung Allen Li is a Ph.D. candidate, in the Department of Sociology at New York University. E-mail: [email protected] Aremarkable design aspect of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) is the availability of longitudinal data on all children born to women in the original NLSY79 sample. The resulting data from the Children of the...
When parents migrate, leaving their children in the origin country, transnational families are formed. Transnational family studies on children who are "left behind" indicate that children suffer psychologically from parental migration. Many of the factors identified as affecting children's responses to parental migration however are not considered in child psychology and family sociology studi...
Defects of neutrophil mobility are being recognised in an increasing number of patients with recurrent pyogenic infections.' In many patients it is difficult to determine whether the neutrophil defect is primary or secondary. As with other types of immunodeficiency, family studies, in which inheritance can be established, afford a good opportunity to define the disorder.2 We describe a family w...
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common problems for old peoples. Etiology of AD is not clear, but genetic factors play a major role in determining a person's risk to develop AD. Twin and family studies confirm that AD has a genetic basis. AD genetics has been split into two broad categories: early-onset and late-onset. EOAD cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant pat...
BACKGROUND Advances in whole genome sequencing have enabled the investigation of rare variants, which could explain some of the missing heritability that genome-wide association studies are unable to detect. Most methods to detect associations with rare variants are developed for unrelated individuals; however, several methods exist that utilize family studies and could have better power to det...
Before the current Ebola epidemic in West Africa, there were few documented cases of symptomatic Ebola patients traveling by commercial airline, and no evidence of transmission to passengers or crew members during airline travel. In July 2014 two persons with confirmed Ebola virus infection who were infected early in the Nigeria outbreak traveled by commercial airline while symptomatic, involvi...
In 2004, identification of patients infected with the same Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain in New York, New York, USA, resulted in an outbreak investigation. The investigation involved data collection and analysis, establishing links between patients, and forming transmission hypotheses. Fifty-four geographically clustered cases were identified during 2003-2009. Initially, the M. tuberculosis...
BACKGROUND Circumstantial evidence from genome-wide association and family studies of various Epstein-Barr virus-associated diseases suggests a substantial genetic component in infectious mononucleosis (IM) etiology. However, familial aggregation of IM has scarcely been studied. METHODS We used data from the Danish Civil Registration System and the Danish National Hospital Discharge Register ...
Contact investigation remains an essential component of tuberculosis (TB) control, yet missed opportunities to trace, medically examine, and treat close contacts of newly diagnosed index TB cases persist. We report a new case of active TB in a 21 year-old woman who was a household contact of a known TB index case in Kampala, Uganda. She was identified during a house-to-house TB case finding sur...
