TL;DR: Four infants identified through neonatal screening programs are an unselected sample of 47,XYY boys, and all four demonstrated problems in motor and language development, leading to the hypothesis that their karyotype may heighten vulnerability to pre‐existing familial conditions.
Abstract: Four infants identified through neonatal screening programs are an unselected sample of 47,XYY boys. No consistent physical stigmata or medical disorders were identified. Three have increased height. All four demonstrated problems in motor and language development. Although their intelligence is within the average range, all four have language-related learning disorders requiring special education. Mild depression was apparent in all four, perhaps as a secondary result of their learning disorders. Some of the problems seen in the propositi are found in milder forms in other family members, leading to the hypothesis that their karyotype may heighten vulnerability to pre-existing familial conditions. Similarities between these findings and results from seven other study centers with a total of 42 47,XYY boys are noted. Parents of a prenatally diagnosed 47,XYY fetus seen in our center are informed that the extra Y chromosome represents a risk factor for these problems, but that environment remains a primary force in shaping their child's development.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the active substance is very likely a mycoside C was confirmed: the well-characterized mycosides C(s) and C(1217) elaborated by the heterologous strains M. scrofulaceum and Mycobacterium species 1217, respectively, are essentially indistinguishable from the smegmatis lipids in their behavior toward D4.
Abstract: Interpretation of an earlier published infrared spectrum of Mycobacterium smegmatis lipids with receptor site activity for D4 phage led us to the inference that the active substance is very likely a mycoside C. This hypothesis was confirmed: the well-characterized mycosides C(s) and C(1217) elaborated by the heterologous strains M. scrofulaceum and Mycobacterium species 1217, respectively, are essentially indistinguishable from the smegmatis lipids in their behavior toward D4. Minute quantities adsorb and extensively inactivate the phage on appropriate incubations. In accord with derivative expectations, Mycobacterium species 1217 is a permissive host, attacked and lysed by D4. However, our current strains of M. butyricum, M. avium, and M. scrofulaceum, which reputedly produce various related mycosides C, are neither lysed by nor do they significantly adsorb the phage. Implications of these observations are discussed.

TL;DR: Additional rigorous comparison studies are needed to evaluate the true benefits of the technique and the extent of its clinical application, mainly oncologic results, before the widespread adoption of SSVEIL.
Abstract: Techniques that attempt to further reduce the morbidity and improve cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery have particularly generated interest. Since its initial urologic description in 2007, there has been a surge of interest in laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, which is now an emerging technique within the field of minimally invasive urologic surgery. This report describes a preliminary experience with single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (SSVEIL) compared with conventional video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) on inguinal nodes management in a 45-year-old man with pT(2) grade 2 squamous cell penile carcinoma and impalpable inguinal nodes. VEIL with saphenous vein preservation in the left leg and SSVEIL on the other side presented no difference concerning operative time (100 vs 120 min), blood loss (50 mL), drainage volume, number of nodes retrieved (8), pain, and oncologic outcome. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, was discharged 12 hours after the procedure, and preferred the aesthetic result of SSVEIL. Further refinements in technology will likely alleviate many of the persistent technical problems. Additional rigorous comparison studies are needed to evaluate the true benefits of the technique and the extent of its clinical application, mainly oncologic results, before the widespread adoption of SSVEIL. Ultimately, advance breakthroughs in fields of in-vivo instrumentation, robotics, and purpose-built robotic platforms will bring its potential to full clinical realization.

TL;DR: Whether the FN, previously shown to be within and surrounding human basal cell carcinoma (BCC) lobules, was in part the product of epidermal-derived tumor cells is examined to speculate that this FN matrix may facilitate growth of BCC in this model.

TL;DR: There appears to be a shortened length of hospital stay, better pain control, reduced time to return of bowel function, and lower rate of post-operative ileus in patients receiving IV acetaminophen.
Abstract: We hypothesized that administration of IV acetaminophen alone would reduce the opioid consumption in post-operative colorectal surgery and reduce the side effects of narcotics. Patients were randomized to receive either IV acetaminophen or placebo in addition to opioid PCA. Primary endpoints evaluated were opioid consumption and pain visual analogue scale score (PVASS) during first 48 h post-operatively. Secondary endpoints evaluated were time of return of GI function (ROGIF), time to diet ordered (TTDO), length of hospital stay (LOHS), and occurrence of ileus. 105 patients were enrolled and 97 remained in the study after exclusion (control group n = 50; study group n = 47). Mean ± SEs of opioid consumption in the study group was 21.5 ± 1.8 mg of morphine equivalent (ME) and 35.0 ± 3.3 mg ME at 24 and 48 h, respectively, versus 36.4 ± 4.1 mg ME and 59.7 ± 6.7 mg ME in the control group (p = 0.002 and 0.002). PVASS levels were lower in the study group at all intervals at 3, 8, 24, and 48 h (p = 0.02, 0.006, < 0.01, and 0.02). ROGIF, TTDO, and LOHS were also found to be lower in the study group (p ≤ 0.01, < 0.01, and 0.002). The rate of ileus was reduced by using IV acetaminophen (22% vs 2.1%; p = 0.004). IV acetaminophen helps to reduce opioid consumption for patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Additionally, there appears to be a shortened length of hospital stay, better pain control, reduced time to return of bowel function, and lower rate of post-operative ileus in patients receiving IV acetaminophen.
