While invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is uncommon, it can result in serious sequelae and even death. In 2018 in the United States, the incidence of IMD per 100,000 people was 0.03 among adolescents 11-15 years of age, 0.10 among persons 16-23 years of age, and 0.83 among infants

Birthweight z-score and fat-free mass at birth predict body composition at 3 years in Danish children born from obese mothers by N R Berglund
CONCLUSION: We showed that infants born with a higher BWZ go on to be taller at 3 years. They also grow to be heavier, to which FM and FFM both contribute, independently of linear growth. Additionally, it seems that FFM tracks into early childhood, thus supporting intrauterine programming of later health.
Teleconsultation Services in Pediatric Primary Care in Austria: Upgrading Clinical Decision Support in Primary Health Care Settings by Isabel King
Introduction: The general practitioners’ increasing comprehensive pediatric health care provision in Austria faces great challenges in ensuring high-quality health care in the future as the shortage of pediatricians continues to grow. Tele-expertise services provide an excellent opportunity to facilitate and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and access medical expertise of uncertainties in diagnosis and treatment plans. The…

Online Medical Misinformation in Cancer: Distinguishing Fact From Fiction by Eleonora Teplinsky
It is without question that the Internet has democratized access to medical information, with estimates that 70% of the American population use it as a resource, particularly for cancer-related information. Such unfettered access to information has led to an increase in health misinformation. Fortunately, the data indicate that health care professionals remain among the most…
The effects of stone density on surgical outcomes of retrograde intrarenal stone surgery by Suleyman Hilmi Aksoy
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that stone density as measured as Hounsfield Units (HU) affects the treatment outcomes with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) procedure and the mean density is significantly higher in patients with residual stone fragments.
Circular RNA LONP2 regulates proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by sponging microRNA-584-5p by Xu Zhang
Bladder cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of urinary tumor and a barely treatable disease. Although extensive efforts have been invested in the research of BC, the underlying etiology and pathophysiology remain unclear. CircLONP2 is a circular RNA implicated in the development of many cancers, and miR-584-5p and YAP1 have been reported to contribute…
GATA binding protein 5-mediated transcriptional activation of transmembrane protein 100 suppresses cell proliferation, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer DU145 cells by Jiaolin Liu
It has been reported that transmembrane protein 100 (TMEM100) acts as a tumor regulator in several types of cancers. However, whether the expression of TMEM100 is associated with the development and prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa) remains elusive. Therefore, the present study aimed to uncover the role of GATA binding protein 5 (GATA5)-mediated activation of…
Knockdown of lncRNA HAGLROS inhibits metastasis and promotes apoptosis in nephroblastoma cells by inhibition of autophagy by Pugui Li
Nephroblastoma, or Wilms tumor, is a primary renal malignant tumor that easily occurs in children. Previous studies have revealed the regulatory functions of LncRNA in nephroblastoma. LncRNA HAGLROS functions as a tumor promotor in various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer. In this study, the HAGLROS expression in nephroblastoma cells was assayed…
Preoperative blood pressure targets and effect on hemodynamics in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma by Randi Ugleholdt
Patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are treated with α-adrenoceptor antagonists to improve peroperative hemodynamics. However, preoperative blood pressure targets differ between institutions. We retrospectively compared per- and postoperative hemodynamics in 30 patients with PPGL that were pre-treated with phenoxybenzamine aiming at different blood pressure targets at two separate endocrine departments. All patients were subsequently…
Ventricular fibrillation during carotid endarterectomy and bailout stenting: a case report by Yuji Ueda
CONCLUSIONS: We considered that the combination of multiple risk factors led to the development of ventricular fibrillation. It should be noted that carotid artery manipulation has the potential to cause arrhythmias.
Automated 3D thorax model generation using handheld video-footage by Nadine Dussel
CONCLUSION: The presented methods and results show that model reconstruction of a patient’s thorax and applied electrodes at an emergency site is feasible with already available devices. This is a first step toward the automated generation of patient-specific reconstruction models for Electrical Impedance Tomography based on images recorded with handheld devices.
