77). The median time of support was 351 days (IQR 136-626) for RA HVAD compared to 135 days (IQR 61-244) for RV HVAD (P = .02). Pump thrombosis occurred at a similar rate [RA 3/10 (30.0%) vs. RV 6/20 (30.0%), P = 1], as did GI bleeding [RA 10/35 (28.6%) vs. RV 5/21 (23.8%), P = .94] during the follow-up time period. Kaplan-Meier analysis when censored for transplant showed higher survival with RA HVAD compared to RV HVAD (P = .036), with an estimated survival at 1 year of 91.7% (95% CI 77.3-100.0) in RA HVAD versus 66.2% (95% CI 48.9-89.6) for RV HVAD. RA HVAD appears to be a viable option for durable right-sided support with outcomes at least comparable to RV HVAD. © 2020 International Center for Artificial Organs and Transplantation and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Although antibodies are considered critical for malaria protection, little is known about the mechanisms/factors that maintain humoral immunity, especially regarding the induction and maintenance of memory B cells over time. In Brazilian endemic areas, this is the first time that the profile of antibody responses and the occurrence of antigen-specific memory B cells (MBC) against P vivax were investigated during acute malaria and up to six months after parasite clearance. For this, we selected two peptides, PvAMA-1(S290-K307) and PvMSP-9(E795-A808) , which represent the apical membrane antigen-1 and merozoite surface protein-9 of P vivax, respectively. Both peptides were previously described as containing linear B-cell epitopes. Our findings were as follows 1-both peptides were recognized by IgG antibodies at a high frequency (between 24% and 81%) in all study groups; 2-in the absence of infection, the IgG levels remained stable throughout 6 months of follow-up; and 3-PvAMA-1(S290-K307) and PvMSP-9(E795-A808) -specific MBCs were detected in all individual groups in the absence of reinfection throughout the follow-up period, suggesting long-lived MBC. However, no positive association was observed between malaria-specific antibody levels and frequency of MBCs over time. Taken together, these results suggest that peptides can be, in the future, an alternative strategy to polypeptidic vaccine formulation. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Infantile and congenital hemangiomas are difficult to distinguish in infants. The aim of this study was to compare the conventional ultrasonographic (US) and elastographic features of infantile and congenital hemangiomas. The US findings in 118 patients with congenital hemangioma (58 non-involuting, 36 rapidly involuting, 24 partially involuting) and 111 with 120 infantile hemangioma were retrospectively evaluated. On US imaging, 31.7% of infantile hemangiomas were hyperechoic, 31.7% hypoechoic and 36.6% mixed-echoic with hyperechoic and hypoechoic areas; 57.6% of congenital hemangiomas were mixed-echoic with a hypoechoic area and many vessels visible, 39.0% hypoechoic and 3.4% were mixed-echoic with hyperechoic and hypoechoic area. Calcifications were present in 6.8% and visible vessels involving muscle in 24.6% of congenital hemangiomas. All infantile hemangiomas and 82.2% of congenital hemangiomas were well-defined. All congenital hemangiomas were subcutaneous whereas 17.5% of the infantile hemangiomas were superficial. The maximum diameter and vascular density were greater in congenital hemangiomas. Elastography demonstrated that the congenital hemangiomas were softer than the infantile hemangiomas. The maximum diameter (including of visible vessels), thickness, vascular density, venous blood flow velocity and elasticity scores were greater for rapidly and partially involuting congenital hemangiomas than for non-involuting ones. The density of visible vessels in congenital hemangiomas decreased in the order of non-involuting, partially involuting and rapidly involuting. In conclusion, congenital hemangiomas have distinctive US imaging characteristics, including a greater maximum diameter, vascular density, number of visible vessels, visible vessels involving muscle, calcifications and elasticity score. © 2020 Japanese Dermatological Association.BAP1-inactivated melanocytic tumors typically present with distinctive histopathological changes and loss of nuclear BAP1 protein expression. Rare cases exhibit the typical morphology but with preserved expression of BAP1. In the current issue of Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, Linos et al. describe such a case and provide a comprehensive molecular-genetic exploration to explain such a phenomenon. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.The field of prenatal screening and diagnosis for fetal anomalies has been marked by a rapid succession of technological advances, including most notably, chromosomal microarray analysis and next generation sequencing. Despite the diagnostic advantages of these technologies, their incorporation into prenatal testing has created additional challenges of revealing genomic variants of unknown or uncertain significance, and secondary findings. While detailed post-test counselling about uncertain variants is best performed by medical geneticists, many of the screening and diagnostic tests that lead to this information are actually ordered by general maternity health care professionals (HCPs), such as obstetricians, midwives and family physicians. Maternity HCPs support pregnant women through to the conclusion of their pregnancy and the postpartum period, and thus are close observers of the psychosocial impart of fetal genomic uncertainty on women and their families. Whilst there have been many studies exploring the handling of genomic uncertainty by genetics HCPs there has been relatively less attention paid to maternity HCPs without speciality training in genetics. This review explores the current literature surrounding non-genetic maternity HCPs' views and experiences of genomic uncertainty and returning uncertain results in the prenatal setting.

They question the value/process of ethical reviewing1 , because of its supposed incapability to "detect harm" and to "cure the disease" of identifying non-merit research. Moreover, they doubt the prevalence of harmful studies in HPE research and believe that the benefits of ethical reviewing are minimal compared to the effort. We understand their concerns, but do not recognize all of them. Therefore, in this reaction we underline the potential and necessity of ethical reviewing of HPE-research.
