Defining Language Profiles in Young Autistic Children Across Verbal, Speaking, and Generative Dimensions

Language trajectories in autism are highly heterogeneous and cannot be captured by unidimensional classifications. Research and clinical practice often rely on verbal/non-verbal or speaking/non-speaking labels, but these categories, when used in isolation, obscure distinct lingui...

In recent years, the European Union (EU) has faced mounting challenges in promoting and safeguarding democracy in its neighbourhood, as autocratisation trends, entangled with intensifying geopolitical competition, have progressively reshaped the conditions under which EU democrac...

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, s...

Two Cases of Steroid Cell Tumour, Not Otherwise Specified, of the Ovary with Distinct Exon 3 CTNNB1 Hotspot Mutations (p.D32V and p.S45P): Further Evidence of Wnt/β-Catenin-Pathway Involvement

Background and Clinical Significance: Steroid cell tumours of the ovary, not otherwise specified (SCT-NOSs), are rare sex cord–stromal neoplasms with a poorly characterised molecular landscape, in which only exceptional CTNNB1 mutations have so far been reported and no recurrent...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...
