Efforts should focus on helping adolescents cultivate academic skills needed during school closures, providing mental/physical health resources and helping them navigate peer relationships-especially given ongoing remote education and social distancing due to the pandemic. Migraine may be associated with neck impairment and migraine chronicity is related to greater disability. However, whether other subclassifications of migraine, such as migraine with aura, are related to neck impairment is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the musculoskeletal aspects of the neck in patients with migraine with and without aura. Consecutive patients diagnosed with migraine were recruited from a tertiary headache clinic. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence (MA, n=37) and absence of aura (MoA, n=88). The self-report of neck pain and neck disability was assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The patients underwent the flexion rotation test (FRT) and craniocervical flexion test (CCFT). There was no association between the presence of aura and neck pain (χ 1.32, p=0.25). No differences in the extent of neck disability (MA 10.73, SD 6.22; MoA 9.63, SD8.13, p=0.25) or disability severity (χ =6.17, p=0.10) were found between groups. The FRT did not differ between the groups (MA 35.07°, SD 7.90 and MoA 34.60°, SD 8.70, t=-0.22, p=0.83) and there was no association between positive FRT and aura (χ =0.004, p=0.56). The absence of difference between groups was also verified in the CCFT test (U=1648.0, p=0.89). There was no association between aura and neck pain disability, reduced upper cervical spine mobility or reduced neck muscle performance. No differences in the neck impairment level between patients with and without aura during the clinical assessment of the cervical spine are expected. There was no association between aura and neck pain disability, reduced upper cervical spine mobility or reduced neck muscle performance. No differences in the neck impairment level between patients with and without aura during the clinical assessment of the cervical spine are expected. Primary renal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are exceedingly rare. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data to summarize clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors of primary renal NENs. Data were identified from the SEER database. Clinicopathologic characteristics were compared by the Pearson chi-square or correction test, in which continuous variables were analyzed by t test. Kaplan-Meier analyses and log-rank tests were used to compare the differences in overall survival (OS). Univariable and multivariable regression model analyses of OS were conducted using the Cox proportional hazard model. Also, we used directed acyclic graphs to guide the multivariable regression model and to try to determine the impact of each of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy on OS. A total of 132 patients were enrolled. There were significant differences in age, grade, tumor size, SEER stage, surgery, and chemotherapy between patients with carcinoid tumorsand exhibit different biological behavior. Older age, male sex, larger tumor size, and tumors not confined to the renal parenchyma may indicate poor prognosis. Resection of all visible disease remains the reference-standard treatment of choice. Longer-term studies with a larger patient cohort are needed to determine systemic therapeutic options. The implementation of newborn screening (NBS) programs for citrullinemia type 1 (CTLN1) and argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) is subject to controversial debate. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of NBS on the metabolic disease course and clinical outcome of affected individuals. In 115 individuals with CTLN1 and ASA, we compared the severity of the initial hyp
