TL;DR: The surgical outcome of the first 25 patients in whom the Pelosi single-puncture laparoscopic appendectomy technique was employed demonstrates the new approach as a safe, inexpensive and effective alternative to the currently used multiple-Puncture method.
Abstract: The surgical outcome of the first 25 patients in whom the Pelosi single-puncture laparoscopic appendectomy technique was employed demonstrates the new approach as a safe, inexpensive and effective alternative to the currently used multiple-puncture method. The results suggest single-puncture (minilaparoscopy) operative endoscopy as the ultimate goal in the progression of minimally invasive surgery.

TL;DR: In this cohort of singleton births between 1986 and 1996, placental abruption had a profound impact on stillbirth, preterm delivery, and fetal growth restriction.
Abstract: Results The incidence of abruption was 1% (n = 530). Abruption was associated with an 8.9-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.0-13.0) adjusted relative risk (aRR) of stillbirth. Preterm birth proportions among women with and without abruption were 39.6% and 9.1%, respectively, yielding an aRR of 3.9 (95% CI, 3.5-4.4). In the abruption group, 14.3% of neonates were growth restricted, compared with 8.1% among all other births (aRR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.5-2.4). Extent of placental separation had a profound effect on stillbirth (aRR for 75% separation, 31.5; 95% CI, 17.0-58.4), although evident only among those with at least 50% separation. However, the risk of preterm delivery was substantially increased even for mild abruptions (aRR for 25% separation, 5.5; 95% CI, 4.2-7.3). Conclusions In this cohort, placental abruption had a profound impact on stillbirth, preterm delivery, and fetal growth restriction. The risk of stillbirth was dramatically increased for severe placental separation, but preterm delivery was common even among women with lesser degrees of placental separation.

TL;DR: The proliferation and migration of cortical neurons are profoundly affected by in utero exposure to ethanol, and the number of neurons in the nature cortex with the same time of origin is reduced and altered.
Abstract: Prenatal exposure to alcohol produces many developmental defects of the central nervous system, such as microcephaly, mental retardation, motor dysfunction, and cognitive deficiencies. Therefore, the generation of neurons in the cerebral cortex was examined in the offspring of female rats fed a diet containing ethanol. Prenatal exposure to ethanol delayed and extended the period during which cortical neurons were generated, reduced the number of neurons in the nature cortex with the same time of origin, and altered the distribution of neurons generated on a particular day. Thus, the proliferation and migration of cortical neurons are profoundly affected by in utero exposure to ethanol.

TL;DR: Two factors, Dr2 and ACF, necessary for high levels of transcription in response to an activator have been identified and can enhance basal and activated transcription.
Abstract: Reconstituted transcription reactions containing the seven general transcription factors, in addition to RNA polymerase II, respond poorly to transcriptional activators. Two factors, Dr2 and ACF, necessary for high levels of transcription in response to an activator have been identified. ACF can enhance basal and activated transcription. Dr2 represses basal transcription, but this can be overcome by transcriptional activators or TFIIA. Dr2 is human DNA topoisomerase I. The DNA relaxation activity of topoisomerase I is dispensable for transcriptional repression. The effect of Dr2 is specific for TATA-box-containing promoters and is mediated by the TATA-binding protein.

TL;DR: A risk stratification algorithm developed by the First Princeton Consensus Panel corroborates and clarifies the algorithm and emphasizes the importance of risk factor evaluation and management for all patients with ED, and increasing evidence supports the role of lifestyle intervention in ED.
Abstract: Recent studies have highlighted the relation between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease. In particular, the role of endothelial dysfunction and nitric oxide in ED and atherosclerotic disease has been elucidated. Given the large number of men receiving medical treatment for ED, concerns regarding the risk for sexual activity triggering acute cardiovascular events and potential risks of adverse or unanticipated drug interactions need to be addressed. A risk stratification algorithm was developed by the First Princeton Consensus Panel to evaluate the degree of cardiovascular risk associated with sexual activity for men with varying degrees of cardiovascular disease. Patients were assigned to 3 categories: low, intermediate (including those requiring further evaluation), and high risk. This consensus study from the Second Princeton Consensus Conference corroborates and clarifies the algorithm and emphasizes the importance of risk factor evaluation and management for all patients with ED. The panel reviewed recent safety and drug interaction data for 3 phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil), with emphasis on the safety of these agents in men with ED and concomitant cardiovascular disease. Increasing evidence supports the role of lifestyle intervention in ED, specifically weight loss and increased physical activity, particularly in patients with ED and concomitant cardiovascular disease. Special management recommendations for patients taking PDE-5 inhibitors who present at the emergency department and other emergency medical situations are described. Finally, further research on the role of PDE-5 inhibition in treating patients with other medical or cardiovascular disorders is recommended.
