 New generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is a powerful diagnostic tool and is increasingly used in the clinical workup of patients, especially in unusual presentations or where a positive family history suggests heritable disease. This review addresses the NGS technologies Targeted sequencing (TS), Whole exome sequencing (WES), Whole genome sequencing (WGS), and the use of gene panels or gene lists for clinical diagnostic purposes. These methods primarily assess nucleotide sequence but can also detect copy number variants and many tandem repeat expansions, greatly simplifying diagnostic algorithms for movement disorders. Studies evaluating the efficacy of NGS in diagnosing movement disorders have reported a diagnostic yield of up to 10.1% for familial and 15.7% for early-onset PD, 11.7-37.5% for dystonia, 12.1-61.8% for ataxia/spastic paraplegia and 11.3-28% for combined movement disorders. Patient selection and stringency in the interpretation of the detected variants and genotypes affect diagnostic yield. Careful comparison of the patient's or family's disease features with the previously reported phenotype associated with the same variant or gene can avoid false-positive diagnoses, although some genes are implicated in various phenotypes. Moving from TS to WES and WGS increases the number of patients correctly diagnosed, but for many patients, a genetic cause cannot be identified today. However, new genetically defined entities are discovered at rapid pace, and genetic databases and our knowledge of genotype-phenotype correlations expand steadily. We discuss the need for clear communication of genetic results and suggest a list of aspects to consider when reporting neurogenetic disorders using NGS testing. OBJECTIVE Dietary potassium restrictions in kidney disease are complex to follow and may reduce quality of life. However, details on this impact are sparse. We therefore sought to explore patients' perspectives on the experienced impact of following low-potassium diets, to inform clinical practice and research. DESIGN AND METHODS Qualitative semistructured interviews were undertaken in a UK teaching hospital with adults undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Audio-recorded, transcribed interviews underwent thematic analysis. RESULTS 34 adults (19 women, 15 men, and mean age 66.7 ± 10.9 years) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) participated. Our analysis identified three themes with subthemes "What is left for me to eat now?"; "I'm obviously different"; "Food can be socially awkward", and one outlying theme "Money doesn't grow on trees." Practical difficulties experienced when coming to terms with dietary restrictions meant testing out advice and experimenting with low- and high-potassium foods, to find a reasonable compromise, despite worries they could die from eating too much potassium. Interactions with food providers were dependent on pre-existing relationships, and maintaining these, at the expense of their dietary needs.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/turi.html  Obtaining dietary requirements in restaurants often resulted in conflict with less concern for maintaining a relationship with those in the restaurant. Some individuals experienced financial difficulties, and decisions were made to prioritize family needs over their own dietary requirements. CONCLUSION Low-potassium diets bring practical and psychosocial consequences which significantly impacts people living with CKD. Renal health professionals should offer more support to people on a low-potassium diet. Public education on dietary potassium requirements in CKD, particularly in the food service industry to increase awareness, may be a worthwhile intervention. OBJECTIVE Upper extremity and neck access is commonly used for complex endovascular aortic repairs. We sought to compare perioperative stroke and other complications of (1) arm/neck (AN) and femoral or iliac access versus femoral/iliac (FI) access alone, (2) right- versus left-sided AN, and (3) specific arm versus neck access sites. METHODS Patients entered in the thoracic endovascular aortic repair/complex endovascular aortic repair registry in the Vascular Quality Initiative from 2009 to 2018 were analyzed. Patients with a missing access variable and aortic arch proximal landing zone were excluded.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/turi.html  The primary outcome was perioperative in-hospital stroke. Secondary outcomes were other postoperative complications and 1-year survival. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. RESULTS Of 11,621 patients with 11,774 recorded operations, 6691 operations in 6602 patients met criteria for analysis (1418 AN, 5273 FI). AN patients had a higher rate of smoking history (83.6% vs 76.1%; P  85.1% vs 88.1%; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS Upper extremity and neck access for complex aortic repairs has a higher risk of stroke compared with femoral and iliac access alone. Right-sided access does not have a higher stroke rate than left-sided access. Carotid access has a higher stroke rate than axillary, arm, and multiple arm/neck access sites. OBJECTIVE Patients who undergo endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) often require reintervention after the index repair. The long-term rate of reintervention and how this has changed with newer device technology are poorly understood. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature to determine long-term freedom from reintervention after EVAR and the change in reintervention rates over time. METHODS We performed a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We included randomized controlled trials and observational studies that documented the rate of reintervention after EVAR. We performed a meta-analysis of Kaplan-Meier freedom from reintervention at each year after EVAR. We used linear regression to evaluate change in reintervention rate over time with newer device technology. RESULTS We included a total of 30 studies (randomized trialsNCLUSIONS EVAR patients remain at risk for reintervention indefinitely, and therefore lifelong surveillance is imperative. Encouragingly, reintervention rates have improved over time, with newer devices exhibiting lower rates. Reintervention rate remains an important metric for new devices and registries.
