TL;DR: This prospective trial demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the treatment of BCT defects utilizing ADRC-enriched fat grafts using autologous adipose-derived regenerative cell (ADRC)-enrichedFat grafts.
Abstract: Aims Women undergoing breast conservation therapy (BCT) for breast cancer are often left with contour defects and few acceptable reconstructive options. RESTORE-2 is the first prospective clinical trial using autologous adipose-derived regenerative cell (ADRC)-enriched fat grafting for reconstruction of such defects. This single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial enrolled 71 patients post-BCT with defects ≤150 mL. Methods Adipose tissue was collected via syringe lipoharvest and then processed during the same surgical procedure using a closed automated system that isolates ADRCs and prepares an ADRC-enriched fat graft for immediate re-implantation. ADRC-enriched fat graft injections were performed in a fan-shaped pattern to prevent pooling of the injected fat. Overall procedure times were less than 4 h. The RESTORE-2 protocol allowed for up to two treatment sessions and 24 patients elected to undergo a second procedure following the six month follow-up visit. Results Of the 67 patients treated, 50 reported satisfaction with treatment results through 12 months. Using the same metric, investigators reported satisfaction with 57 out of 67 patients. Independent radiographic core laboratory assessment reported improvement in the breast contour of 54 out of 65 patients based on blinded assessment of MRI sequence. There were no serious adverse events associated with the ADRC-enriched fat graft injection procedure. There were no reported local cancer recurrences. Injection site cysts were reported as adverse events in ten patients. Conclusion This prospective trial demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the treatment of BCT defects utilizing ADRC-enriched fat grafts.

TL;DR: Retreatment from Week 24 resulted in a sustained suppression of disease activity through to Week 48, and rituximab 2 × 1000 mg was associated with a higher proportion of patients who, following retreatment, maintained or improved their Week 24 responses.
Abstract: Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three dosing and repeat treatment regimens of rituximab (RTX) plus MTX in patients with active RA.
Methods. Patients with active RA despite stable MTX (10–25 mg/week) were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment regimens comprising two courses of RTX given 24 weeks apart: 2 × 500 and 2 × 500 mg; 2 × 500 and 2 × 1000 mg (dose escalation); and 2 × 1000 and 2 × 1000 mg. The primary endpoint was proportion of patients achieving ACR20 at Week 48.
Results. At Week 48, ACR20 responses were not statistically significantly different between the dose regimens. Compared with RTX 2 × 500 mg (n = 134) or dose escalation (n = 119), ACR and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) outcomes in the RTX 2 × 1000 mg group (n = 93) were consistently higher, with significantly more patients achieving EULAR responses (P = 0.0495). At Week 48, rituximab 2 × 1000 mg was associated with a higher proportion of patients who, following retreatment, maintained or improved their Week 24 responses. Dose escalation from 2 × 500 to 2 × 1000 mg did not appear to be associated with improved outcomes compared with continual 2 × 500 mg. All RTX regimens demonstrated comparable safety.
Conclusions. RTX 2 × 500 and 2 × 1000 mg could not be clearly differentiated, although some efficacy outcomes suggest improved outcomes in the rituximab 2 × 1000 mg group. Retreatment from Week 24 resulted in a sustained suppression of disease activity through to Week 48.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used genome-wide linkage analysis in a large ALS/FTD kindred to identify a novel disease locus on chromosome 16p13.3, which encodes cyclin F, a component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (SCFCyclin F).
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are overlapping, fatal neurodegenerative disorders in which the molecular and pathogenic basis remains poorly understood. Ubiquitinated protein aggregates, of which TDP-43 is a major component, are a characteristic pathological feature of most ALS and FTD patients. Here we use genome-wide linkage analysis in a large ALS/FTD kindred to identify a novel disease locus on chromosome 16p13.3. Whole-exome sequencing identified a CCNF missense mutation at this locus. Interrogation of international cohorts identified additional novel CCNF variants in familial and sporadic ALS and FTD. Enrichment of rare protein-altering CCNF variants was evident in a large sporadic ALS replication cohort. CCNF encodes cyclin F, a component of an E3 ubiquitin–protein ligase complex (SCFCyclin F). Expression of mutant CCNF in neuronal cells caused abnormal ubiquitination and accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, including TDP-43 and a SCFCyclin F substrate. This implicates common mechanisms, linked to protein homeostasis, underlying neuronal degeneration.

TL;DR: Recommendations for sensible use of imaging in routine clinical assessment of people with OA are developed based on gaps in evidence, such as the use of Imaging in identifying therapeutic targets, and demonstrating the added value of imaging.
Abstract: The increased information provided by modern imaging has led to its more extensive use. Our aim was to develop evidence-based recommendations for the use of imaging in the clinical management of the most common arthropathy, osteoarthritis (OA). A task force (including rheumatologists, radiologists, methodologists, primary care doctors and patients) from nine countries defined 10 questions on the role of imaging in OA to support a systematic literature review (SLR). Joints of interest were the knee, hip, hand and foot; imaging modalities included conventional radiography (CR), MRI, ultrasonography, CT and nuclear medicine. PubMed and EMBASE were searched. The evidence was presented to the task force who subsequently developed the recommendations. The strength of agreement for each recommendation was assessed. 17 011 references were identified from which 390 studies were included in the SLR. Seven recommendations were produced, covering the lack of need for diagnostic imaging in patients with typical symptoms; the role of imaging in differential diagnosis; the lack of benefit in monitoring when no therapeutic modification is related, though consideration is required when unexpected clinical deterioration occurs; CR as the first-choice imaging modality; consideration of how to correctly acquire images and the role of imaging in guiding local injections. Recommendations for future research were also developed based on gaps in evidence, such as the use of imaging in identifying therapeutic targets, and demonstrating the added value of imaging. These evidence-based recommendations and related research agenda provide the basis for sensible use of imaging in routine clinical assessment of people with OA.

TL;DR: Meta-analysis shows that although long-term sequelae, especially SNHL, are more common in those with clinically detectable disease at birth, they are also found in 13% of those without clinical features attributable to CMV on initial examination.
Abstract: C cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is the most common congenital infection in the developed world. Reported prevalence varies between cohorts but is approximately 7 per 1000 births. About half of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected babies with clinically detectable disease at birth are destined to have significant impairments in their development, and cCMV infection is implicated in approximately 25% of all children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Meta-analysis shows that although long-term sequelae, especially SNHL, are more common in those with clinically detectable disease at birth, they are also found in 13% of those without clinical features attributable to CMV on initial examination.
