TL;DR: The meta-analysis identified 13 novel genetic loci regulating FVIII and VWF plasma levels, 10 of which were validated functionally and provided some evidence for a causal role of these proteins in thrombotic events.
Abstract: Background: Factor VIII (FVIII) and its carrier protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) are associated with risk of arterial and venous thrombosis and with hemorrhagic disorders. We aimed to identify a...

TL;DR: In this paper, the early experiences of adults with systemic rheumatic disease who received the COVID-19 vaccine were described, and the most reported adverse events were fatigue/somnolence (33.4%), headache (27.7%), muscle/joint pains (22.8%), and fever/chills (19.9%).
Abstract: Background We describe the early experiences of adults with systemic rheumatic disease who received the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods From 2 April to 30 April 2021, we conducted an online, international survey of adults with systemic rheumatic disease who received COVID-19 vaccination. We collected patient-reported data on clinician communication, beliefs and intent about discontinuing disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) around the time of vaccination, and patient-reported adverse events after vaccination. Results We analysed 2860 adults with systemic rheumatic diseases who received COVID-19 vaccination (mean age 55.3 years, 86.7% female, 86.3% white). Types of COVID-19 vaccines were Pfizer-BioNTech (53.2%), Oxford/AstraZeneca (22.6%), Moderna (21.3%), Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (1.7%) and others (1.2%). The most common rheumatic disease was rheumatoid arthritis (42.3%), and 81.2% of respondents were on a DMARD. The majority (81.9%) reported communicating with clinicians about vaccination. Most (66.9%) were willing to temporarily discontinue DMARDs to improve vaccine efficacy, although many (44.3%) were concerned about rheumatic disease flares. After vaccination, the most reported patient-reported adverse events were fatigue/somnolence (33.4%), headache (27.7%), muscle/joint pains (22.8%) and fever/chills (19.9%). Rheumatic disease flares that required medication changes occurred in 4.6%. Conclusion Among adults with systemic rheumatic disease who received COVID-19 vaccination, patient-reported adverse events were typical of those reported in the general population. Most patients were willing to temporarily discontinue DMARDs to improve vaccine efficacy. The relatively low frequency of rheumatic disease flare requiring medications was reassuring.

TL;DR: The Ad-DiaRem is proposed, which includes two additional clinical variables, as an optimised tool with improved accuracy to predict diabetes remission 1 year post-RYGB, and might be helpful for personalised management of individuals with diabetes when considering bariatric surgery in routine care.
Abstract: Not all people with type 2 diabetes who undergo bariatric surgery achieve diabetes remission. Thus it is critical to develop methods for predicting outcomes that are applicable for clinical practice. The DiaRem score is relevant for predicting diabetes remission post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but it is not accurate for all individuals across the entire spectrum of scores. We aimed to develop an improved scoring system for predicting diabetes remission following RYGB (the Advanced-DiaRem [Ad-DiaRem]). We used a retrospective French cohort (n = 1866) that included 352 individuals with type 2 diabetes followed for 1 year post-RYGB. We developed the Ad-DiaRem in a test cohort (n = 213) and examined its accuracy in independent cohorts from France (n = 134) and Israel (n = 99). Adding two clinical variables (diabetes duration and number of glucose-lowering agents) to the original DiaRem and modifying the penalties for each category led to improved predictive performance for Ad-DiaRem. Ad-DiaRem displayed improved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and predictive accuracy compared with DiaRem (0.911 vs 0.856 and 0.841 vs 0.789, respectively; p = 0.03); thus correcting classification for 8% of those initially misclassified with DiaRem. With Ad-DiaRem, there were also fewer misclassifications of individuals with mid-range scores. This improved predictive performance was confirmed in independent cohorts. We propose the Ad-DiaRem, which includes two additional clinical variables, as an optimised tool with improved accuracy to predict diabetes remission 1 year post-RYGB. This tool might be helpful for personalised management of individuals with diabetes when considering bariatric surgery in routine care, ultimately contributing to precision medicine.

TL;DR: It is shown here that mouse embryonic limb MCT cells expressing the transcription factor Osr1, differentiate into fibrogenic and adipogenic cells in vivo and in vitro defining an embryonic FAP-like population, and genetic lineage tracing shows that developmental OsR1+ cells give rise to a subset of adult FAPs.
Abstract: Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are an interstitial cell population in adult skeletal muscle that support muscle regeneration. During development, interstitial muscle connective tissue (MCT) cells support proper muscle patterning, however the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood and it remains unclear whether adult FAPs and embryonic MCT cells share a common lineage. We show here that mouse embryonic limb MCT cells expressing the transcription factor Osr1, differentiate into fibrogenic and adipogenic cells in vivo and in vitro defining an embryonic FAP-like population. Genetic lineage tracing shows that developmental Osr1+ cells give rise to a subset of adult FAPs. Loss of Osr1 function leads to a reduction of myogenic progenitor proliferation and survival resulting in limb muscle patterning defects. Transcriptome and functional analyses reveal that Osr1+ cells provide a critical pro-myogenic niche via the production of MCT specific extracellular matrix components and secreted signaling factors. Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) form part of interstitial muscle connective tissue (MCT) in adults but the origin of this non-myogenic lineage is unclear. Here, the authors show that Odd skipped related 1 (Osr1) in mice marks embryonic MCT, giving rise to FAPs, and loss of Osr1 in the limb causes muscle defects.
