- A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in defining the cause and directing the treatment of childhood urinary incontinence. Both pediatricians and pediatric urologists should carefully evaluate a child with incontinence for possible overlapping etiologies, before labeling him or her as a refractory case. We report an epileptic boy with dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES) with associated rare complications of giggle incontinence and idiopathic urethritis, proving the need for a good voiding diary, patient history and structured symptom scores.

- Our objective was to compare sociodemographic conditions and risky/health behaviors affecting Turkish or Middle Eastern versus ethnic Swedes and Finnish immigrant adolescents, respectively. All eligible adolescents 13-18 years old (3,216 pupils) in a medium-sized town in Sweden completed a validated in-depth questionnaire (Q90), with 165 questions. One hundred and one adolescents were Turkish or Middle Eastern immigrants, while 73 were immigrants from Finland, a neighboring country to Sweden. Turkish/Middle Eastern immigrants were more likely to attend a theoretical program in school, were rarely bullied, as compared to ethnic Swedes and Finns. Turkish/Middle Eastern girls used alcohol at a lower frequency, and reported less depression and sexual experiences than ethnic Swedish girls and Finns. A higher frequency of Finnish adolescents had been bullied and had vandalized, and Finnish adolescents were also determined to have used tobacco and cannabis and to be heavy drinkers more frequently than boys from Turkey/the Middle East. We concluded that adolescent immigrants from Turkey and the Middle East seem to be well adapted to Sweden and also have ambitions for a higher education. Differences in risky behaviors were particularly pronounced in comparisons with immigrants from Finland for both boys and girls.

A Turkish BCS1L mutation causes GRACILE-like disorder

- A full-term growth-restricted female newborn (1790 g), presented with lactic acidosis (12.5 mmol/L) after birth. She had renal tubulopathy, cholestasis and elevated serum ferritin concentration (2819 ng/ml). Two similarly affected sisters had died before 3 months of age. Mitochondrial disorder was suspected since the disease resembled the Finnish GRACILE syndrome, caused by a homozygous mutation (c.232A>G) in BCS1L. Thus, we sequenced the BCS1L gene, encoding the assembly factor for respiratory chain complex III. The patient had a homozygous mutation (c.296C>T; p.P99L), for which both parents were heterozygous. In four previously published patients of Turkish origin, the same homozygous mutation resulted in complex III deficiency, tubulopathy, encephalopathy, and liver failure. The p.P99L mutation seems to be specific to Turkish population and leads to GRACILE-like or Leigh-like condition. Assembly defects in complex III should be investigated in the affected tissues, since fibroblasts may not exhibit the deficiency.

- Background. This study aimed to assess the differences between the United States and the United Kingdom in the characteristics and posttransplant survival of patients who received donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts from donors aged >60 y. Methods. Data were collected from the UK Transplant Registry and the United Network for Organ Sharing databases. Cohorts were dichotomized into donor age subgroups (donor >60 y [D >60]; donor <= 60 y [D <= 60]). Study period: January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2015. Results. 1157 DCD LTs were performed in the United Kingdom versus 3394 in the United States. Only 13.8% of US DCD donors were aged >50 y, contrary to 44.3% in the United Kingdom. D >60 were 22.6% in the United Kingdom versus 2.4% in the United States. In the United Kingdom, 64.2% of D >60 clustered in 2 metropolitan centers. In the United States, there was marked inter-regional variation. A total of 78.3% of the US DCD allografts were used locally. One- and 5-y unadjusted DCD graft survival was higher in the United Kingdom versus the United States (87.3% versus 81.4%, and 78.0% versus 71.3%, respectively; P < 0.001). One- and 5-y D >60 graft survival was higher in the United Kingdom (87.3% versus 68.1%, and 77.9% versus 51.4%, United Kingdom versus United States, respectively; P < 0.001). In both groups, grafts from donors <= 30 y had the best survival. Survival was similar for donors aged 41 to 50 versus 51 to 60 in both cohorts. Conclusions. Compared with the United Kingdom, older DCD LT utilization remained low in the United States, with worse D >60 survival. Nonetheless, present data indicate similar survivals for older donors aged <= 60, supporting an extension to the current US DCD age cutoff.
