Project description:Cystic teratomas are a common ovarian neoplasm that are rarely found in other locations of the body, namely the sacrococcygeal region and anterior mediastinum. Localization to the urinary bladder is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases documented in the literature. Cystic teratomas are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally, but localization to the bladder can present as irritative lower urinary tract symptoms and/or mimic urinary tract calculi. We report the rare case of a mature cystic teratoma of the urinary bladder, presenting as foul-smelling urine with recurrent urinary tract infections and microhematuria, that was originally misdiagnosed as a bladder calculus.

Project description:T-series phages have been model organisms for molecular biology since the 1940s. Given that these phages have been stocked, distributed, and propagated for decades across the globe, there exists the potential for genetic drift to accumulate between stocks over time. Here, we compared the temporal stability and genetic relatedness of laboratory-maintained phage stocks with a T-series collection from 1972. Only the T-even phages produced viable virions. We obtained complete genomes of these T-even phages, along with two contemporary T4 stocks. Performing comparative genomics, we found 12 and 16 nucleotide variations, respectively, in the genomes of T2 and T6, whereas there were ∼172 nucleotide variations between T4 sublines compared with the NCBI RefSeq genome. To account for the possibility of artifacts in NCBI RefSeq, we used the 1972 T4 stock as a reference and compared genetic and phenotypic variations between T4 sublines. Genomic analysis predicted nucleotide variations in genes associated with DNA metabolism and structural proteins. We did not, however, observe any differences in growth characteristics or host range between the T4 sublines. Our study highlights the potential for genetic drift between individually maintained T-series phage stocks, yet after 48 years, this has not resulted in phenotypic alterations in these important model organisms.IMPORTANCE T-series bacteriophages have been used throughout the world for various molecular biology researches, which were critical for establishing the fundamentals of molecular biology, from the structure of DNA to advanced gene-editing tools. These model bacteriophages help keep research data consistent and comparable between laboratories. However, we observed genetic variability when we compared contemporary sublines of T4 phages to a 48-year-old stock of T4. This may have effects on the comparability of results obtained using T4 phage. Here, we highlight the genomic differences between T4 sublines and examined phenotypic differences in phage replication parameters. We observed limited genomic changes but no phenotypic variations between T4 sublines. Our research highlights the possibility of genetic drift in model bacteriophages.

Project description:Although various kinds of organic molecules are known to occur in fossils and rocks, most soft tissue preservation in animals is attributed to melanin or porphyrins. Lipids are particularly stable over time-as diagenetically altered 'geolipids' or as major molecular constituents of kerogen or fossil 'geopolymers'-and may be expected to be preserved in certain vertebrate tissues. Here we analysed lipid residues from the uropygial gland of an early Eocene bird using pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy. We found a pattern of aliphatic molecules in the fossil gland that was distinct from the host oil shale sediment matrix and from feathers of the same fossil. The fossil gland contained abundant n-alkenes, n-alkanes and alkylbenzenes with chain lengths greater than 20, as well as functionalized long-chain aldehydes, ketones, alkylnitriles and alkylthiophenes that were not detected in host sediment or fossil feathers. By comparison with modern bird uropygial gland wax esters, we show that these molecular fossils are likely derived from endogenous wax ester fatty alcohols and fatty acids that survived initial decay and underwent early diagenetic geopolymerization. These data demonstrate the high fidelity preservation of the uropygial gland waxes and showcase the resilience of lipids over geologic time and their potential role in the exceptional preservation of lipid-rich tissues of macrofossils.

Project description:BackgroundThere are claims that second-generation antipsychotics produce fewer extrapyramidal side-effects (EPS) compared with first-generation drugs.AimsTo compare the incidence of treatment-emergent EPS between second-generation antipsychotics and perphenazine in people with schizophrenia.MethodIncidence analyses integrated data from standardised rating scales and documented use of concomitant medication or treatment discontinuation for EPS events. Mixed model analyses of change in rating scales from baseline were also conducted.ResultsThere were no significant differences in incidence or change in rating scales for parkinsonism, dystonia, akathisia or tardive dyskinesia when comparing second-generation antipsychotics with perphenazine or comparing between second-generation antipsychotics. Secondary analyses revealed greater rates of concomitant antiparkinsonism medication among individuals on risperidone and lower rates among individuals on quetiapine, and lower rates of discontinuation because of parkinsonism among people on quetiapine and ziprasidone. There was a trend for a greater likelihood of concomitant medication for akathisia among individuals on risperidone and perphenazine.ConclusionsThe incidence of treatment-emergent EPS and change in EPS ratings indicated that there are no significant differences between second-generation antipsychotics and perphenazine or between second-generation antipsychotics in people with schizophrenia.

Project description:PurposeTo describe an unusual case of Aicardi Syndrome that both affirms hallmark characteristics of the condition and introduces new observations.ObservationsWe report the case of a 20-year-old woman with Aicardi Syndrome who presented in respiratory distress with bradycardia and died soon thereafter. She had a history of severe mental retardation, seizure disorder, advanced scoliosis and numerous contractures in addition to congenital ocular malformations resulting in bilateral blindness. The case is notable for her age and longevity, as most patients with Aicardi Syndrome expire much younger, as well as the presence of intact nuclei under the posterior lens capsule.Conclusions and importanceAicardi Syndrome is a rare X-linked cerebro-retinal disorder typified by seizures, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and chorioretinal lacunae. Documenting alterations from and additions to this triad of symptoms is critical to better understanding both the syndrome itself, as well as the full breadth of its clinical impact on the patient.

Project description:Ischaemic colitis typically presents with an acute abdominal pain and distension with bloody diarrhoea. However, this can vary and the condition is frequently missed or misdiagnosed, especially if the patient presents with chronic symptoms. Herein, we report a case of chronic presentation of ischaemic colitis in a 48-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction. This report highlights the importance of having ischaemic colitis as a differential diagnosis whenever a patient with a history of arteriosclerosis presents with atypical chronic abdominal pain.

Project description:We report on a 36-year-old man with cerebellar-extrapyramidal syndrome and severe heart failure because of dilated cardiomyopathy of unknown origin. Dysarthria and cardiac arrhythmia began at early childhood (4 years of age). Brain MRI (28 years of age) demonstrated severe cerebellar atrophy. At the age 32, he presented with dysarthria, ataxia, dystonia, and tremor of the right hand, bilateral slowed neural conduction in the visual pathways, and decreased mental acuity. At the age of 33 years, the patient underwent cardiac transplantation because of severe dilated cardiomyopathy. In the TPP1 gene, biallelic variants were identified: previously reported p.(Leu13Pro) and novel p.(Tyr508Cys) variant. Additionally, hemizygous novel missense variant in the ABCD1 gene was inherited from the mother p.(Arg17His). Normal very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) levels both in patient and his mother excluded ABCD1 mutation as the pathogenic one. Tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) activity was reduced (8,8 U/mg protein/h; reference range: 47.4 ± 10.7). In light microscopy the biopsy specimens obtained from explanted heart showed severe myocyte hypertrophy with perinuclear vacuolization with inclusions. Electron microscopy revealed absence of lipofuscin accumulation, no ultrastructural curvilinear profiles, fingerprint bodies, or granular osmiophilic deposits (GRODs) in lysosomes. As described here, the patient presents clinical symptoms observed in benign forms of ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) and simultaneously some features of autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCAR7), which is also caused by mutations in the TPP1 gene.

Project description:Germinomas presenting with a pituitary stalk lesion and panhypopituitarism are rare in children, and their definite diagnosis is challenging. An invasive diagnostic approach, such as a transsphenoidal biopsy, is often required prior to establishing a treatment regimen. A 13-year-old female presented with 1 year of secondary amenorrhea, fatigue, and progressive thirst with polyuria. Laboratory work-up revealed panhypopituitarism (central hypothyroidism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, adrenal insufficiency and central diabetes insipidus). α-Fetoprotein and β-human chorionic gonadotropin were not elevated in serum nor in cerebrospinal fluid. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pituitary region showed an enhancing infundibular lesion, extending into the hypothalamus, and infiltrating the pituitary gland. A transsphenoidal biopsy of the infundibular lesion confirmed the diagnosis of germinoma (germ-cell tumor). After appropriate hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy and low-dose radiation therapy, the patient achieved complete resolution of the pituitary stalk lesion on the MRI.

Project description:Age and portion size have been found to influence food intake in American children but have not been examined in an international context. This study evaluated the association between age and the effects of portion size on the food intake of kindergarteners in Kunming, China. Using a within-subjects crossover design in a classroom setting, 173 children in two age groups, mean age 4.2 years and 6.1 years, were served a predefined reference, small (-30%) and large (+30%) portion of rice, vegetables, and a protein source during lunchtime over three consecutive days. Each portion was weighed before and after the meal to determine amount of food consumed. Linear mixed modeling, controlling for repeated measures and clustering by classroom, was used to compare food intake under small and large portion size conditions to the reference portion. Children ate significantly less food when served small portions. When served a large portion, 6-year-old children increased food intake while 4-year-old children decreased food intake in comparison to the reference portion. Findings indicate that portion size affects food intake in Chinese children 4-6-years old. Older children show larger increases in food intake with increased portion size than do younger children.
