To compare oncological outcomes of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for low-risk cervical cancer.

We retrospectively compared the 3-year overall survival (OS) and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) of 1269 low-risk cervical cancer patients with FIGO 2009 stage IA2, IB1 and IIA1 with a tumour size < 2cm, no lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), superficial stromal invasion and no lymph node involvement on imaging, and who received LRH (n = 672) and ARH (n = 597) between 2009 and 2018 at 47 hospitals.

In the total study population, LRH and ARH showed similar 3-year OS (98.6% vs. 98.9%, P = 0.850) and DFS rates (95.7% vs. 96.4%, P = 0.285). LRH was not associated with worse 3-year OS (HR 0.897, 95% CI 0.287-2.808, P = 0.852) or DFS (HR 0.692, 95% CI 0.379-1.263, P = 0.230) as determined by multivariable analysis. After propensity score matching in 1269 patients, LRH (n = 551) and ARH (n = 551) still showed similar 3-year OS (98.4% vs. 98.8%, P = 0.704) and DFS rates (95.5% vs. 96.3%, P = 0.249). LRH was still not associated with worse 3-year OS (HR 0.816, 95% CI 0.262-2.541, P = 0.725) or DFS (HR 0.694, 95% CI 0.371-1.296, P = 0.251).

Among patients with low-risk cervical cancers < 2cm, no LVSI, superficial stromal invasion, and no lymph node involvement on imaging, no significant differences were observed in 3-year OS or DFS rates between LRH and ARH.
Among patients with low-risk cervical cancers  less then  2 cm, no LVSI, superficial stromal invasion, and no lymph node involvement on imaging, no significant differences were observed in 3-year OS or DFS rates between LRH and ARH.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are still a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Women with a history of preeclampsia have an increased risk for future cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, renal disease as well as diabetes mellitus. There is little knowledge on postpartum risk management. The aim of this study was to assess follow-up care for patients after pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome.

This questionnaire-based cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the current recommendations of obstetricians in Austria regarding follow-up care, long-term risk counselling and risk of recurrence in future pregnancies after preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome. Data were collected using a survey, based on recommendations given by three substantial guidelines on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, which was distributed via e-mail to 69 public obstetric departments in Austria. Each obstetric department was required to answer one questionnaire per local protocol.

Our results rell as screening for cardiovascular disease are necessary to ensure adequate risk management and to provide opportunities for prevention.Post-transcriptional modifications of tRNA molecules play crucial roles in gene expression and protein biosynthesis. Across the genera, methylation of tRNAs at N1 of adenosine 58 (A58) by AtTRM61/AtTRM6 complex plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of initiator methionyl-tRNA (tRNAiMet). Recently, it was shown that mutation in AtTRM61 or AtTRM6 leads to seed abortion. However, a detailed study about the AtTRM61/AtTRM6 function in plants remains vague. Here, we found that AtTRM61 has a conserved functional structure and possesses conserved binding motifs for cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet). Mutations of the complex subunits AtTRM61/AtTRM6 result in embryo and endosperm developmental defects. The endosperm and embryo developmental defects were conditionally complemented by Attrm61-1/ + FIS2proAtTRM61 and Attrm61-1/ + ABI3proAtTRM61 indicating that AtTRM61 is required for early embryo and endosperm development. Besides, the rescue of the fertility defects in trm61/ + by overexpression of initiator tRNA suggests that AtTRM61 mutation could diminish tRNAiMet stability. Moreover, using yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays, we showed that AtMPK4 physically interacts with AtTRM61. The data presented here suggest that AtTRM61 has a conserved structure and function in Arabidopsis. Also, AtTRM61 may be required for tRNAiMet stability, embryo and endosperm development.
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive marker of myocardial dysfunction and atrial reservoir function. We sought to evaluate its value for predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population.

Participants from the Copenhagen City Heart Study examined with echocardiography, including speckle tracking analyses, were included. The endpoint was AF obtained through national registries. Proportional hazards Cox regression was applied, including multivariable adjustments made for CHADS
and CHARGE-AF risk factors. Abnormal GLS was defined as >-18%.

The data from 1,309 participants were analyzed. Of those, 153 (12%) developed AF during a median follow-up time of 15.9years. The follow-up was 100%. The mean age was 57years, 38% had hypertension, and GLS was -18%. In unadjusted analysis, GLS was a univariable predictor of outcome (1.08 (1.04-1.13), p < 0.001, per 1% absolute decrease), but did not remain an independent predictor after adjusting for neitherCHADS
nor CHARGE-AF risk factors. However, hypertension modified the relationship between GLS and AF (p for interaction = 0.010), such that GLS only predicted AF in subjects without hypertension. In participants without hypertension, GLS remained an independent predictor of AF after adjusting for CHADS
and CHARGE-AF (HR = 1.11 (1.03-1.20) and HR = 1.09 (1.01-1.19), respectively). In these participants, an abnormal GLS was associated with a more than twofold increased risk of AF (HR = 2.16 (1.26-3.72). The incidence rate was 3.17 and 6.81 per 1000 person-years for normal vs. abnormal GLS, respectively.

Global longitudinal strain predicts AF in individuals without hypertension from the general population, independently of common risk scores.

The neural plexus and lymph nodes around the superior mesenteric artery (LN#14), are the most frequent sites involved by pancreatic head cancer. However the influence of metastases to LN#14 on patients' prognosis has rarely been evaluated.

The patients who underwent pancreatectomy for pancreatic head cancer between January 2010 and December 2018 were selected. The patients with nodal metastases were classified into an LN#14 + or LN#14-group according to LN#14 metastasis. Clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis were compared between the two groups.

In total, 99 patients underwent pancreatectomy. Ninety-four patients were positive for lymph node metastases and 14 and 80 were classified as LN#14 + and LN#14 - , respectively. Postoperative median overall survival (OS) of the LN#14 + and LN#14 - groups was 10.2 and 31.1months, respectively (P < 0.001). Median OS of the LN#14 + group was worse than that of patients with ≥ 4 metastatic nodes in the LN#14 - group (n = 35, 24.7months, P = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, LN#14 + (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.89, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.64-8.86) was one of the independent predictors of worse OS.

It might be feasible to recognize LN#14 metastases as an important prognostic factor independently from other regional lymph node metastases.

Ibogaine is the main alkaloid of the African shrub Tabernanthe iboga. It produces hallucinogenic and psychostimulant effects, but it is currently known for the anti-addictive properties. Despite the potential therapeutic effects, several cases of fatalities and serious adverse events related to ibogaine/noribogaine use can be found in the literature. Most studies consist in case reports or were conducted under non-controlled settings, so causation cannot be clearly established.

To update (2015-2020) the literature on the adverse events and fatalities associated with ibogaine/noribogaine administration.

Systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Eighteen studies were included in the final selection. Highly heterogeneous results were found in terms of kind of product used or the known dosages. The adverse events were classified in acute effects (< 24h), mainly cardiac (the most common was QTc prolongation), gastrointestinal, neurological, and clinical alterations, and long-lasting effects (> 24h), mainly persistent cardiac alterations, psychiatric, and neurological signs.

There is a high need of phase I clinical trials that can describe the safety of different dosages of ibogaine with standardized products. Further research should perform clinical profiling of vulnerable populations, and design effective screening methods and clinical procedures.

Anomalous intracranial venous anatomy is described in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis andis of significant importance when it comes to surgical morbidity. However, it is still controversial its origin, type ofcirculation in each syndrome, how it behaves over time, when it can be interrupted and wether it needs to bestudied. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these issues by reviewing the literature.

A literature search was performed using the PubMed database with a focus on papers including detaileddescriptions of the venous outflow in complex and syndromic craniosynostosis. Search details used were thefollowing ("veins"[MeSH Terms] OR "veins"[All Fields] OR "venous"[All Fields]) AND ("abnormalities"[Subheading]OR "abnormalities"[All Fields] OR "anomalies"[All Fields]) AND syndromic[All Fields] AND ("craniosynostoses"[MeSH Terms] OR "craniosynostoses"[All Fields] OR "craniosynostosis"[All Fields]). Studies that exposed details ofvenous anomalies found in syndromic or complex craniosynostosis, hydrocephalus, and venous collateral circulation remains unknown. Prospective studies focusing onmolecular biology analysis will possibly solve all of these leading questions.
The importance of the study of the venous outflow in patients with complex craniosynostosis is evident in the literature. The real relationship between intracranial hypertension, hypoplastic skull base foramen, Chiari I malformation, hydrocephalus, and venous collateral circulation remains unknown. Prospective studies focusing on molecular biology analysis will possibly solve all of these leading questions.
Early referral of neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) patients to multidisciplinary clinics is critical for timely diagnosis, treatment, and improved functional outcomes. click here In Saudi Arabia, inadequate knowledge regarding NBPP is a reason for delayed referral. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge of North American healthcare providers (HCPs) regarding the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of NBPP.

A 12-question survey regarding NBPP was distributed via electronic and paper formats to North American providers from various referring and treating specialties. NBPP knowledge was compared between Saudi Arabian vs. North American providers, referring vs. treating specialties, academic vs. community hospitals, and providers with self-reported confidence vs. nonconfidence in NBPP knowledge.

Of the 273 surveys collected, 45% were from referring providers and 55% were from treating providers. Saudi Arabian and North American HCPs demonstrated similar NBPP knowledge except for potential etiologies for NBPP and surgery timing.
