Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract. Approximately 25% of cases occur in premenopausal women, and up to 5% of cases occur in women who are younger than 40 years old. The survival rate in these cases is 99%; therefore, uterine-sparing management could be considered under strict criteria selection and the strong desire of the woman to preserve uterus and fertility. Diagnosis should be performed after a hysteroscopic biopsy instead of dilatation and curettage. The highest remission rate was achieved after combining a hysteroscopic resection with hormonal therapy compared to single hormonal treatment. The most common regiments are the following progestins: megestrol acetate (MA) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) taken orally with a daily dosage of 160 mg-320 mg for MA and 250 mg-600 mg for MP. Evaluations at three and six months could be performed by office endometrial biopsy and/or hysteroscopic directed biopsy especially in the presence of levonorgestrel intrauterine system, and in cases of remission, either a pregnancy attempt or maintenance therapy should be considered. After childbearing, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended, whereas ovarian preservation could be considered depending on the patient's age and whether they fulfil the strict criteria selection.

Examining the role of person-to-person transmission during a verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli outbreak in Ontario, Canada.

Authors:
Roksolana Hovdey Jan M Sargeant David N Fisman Amy L Greer

BMC Res Notes 2022 May 21;15(1):187. Epub 2022 May 21.

Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada.

Objective: Person-to-person transmission can occur during outbreaks of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC), however the impact of this transmission route is not well understood. This study aimed to examine the role of person-to-person transmission during a VTEC outbreak, and how targeting this route may reduce outbreak size. A deterministic compartmental model describing a VTEC outbreak was constructed and fit to data from a 2008 outbreak in Ontario, Canada. Read More

Detecting accelerometer non-wear periods using change in acceleration combined with rate-of-change in temperature.

Background: Accelerometery is commonly used to estimate physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behavior. In free-living conditions, periods of device removal (non-wear) can lead to misclassification of behavior with consequences for research outcomes and clinical decision making. Common methods for non-wear detection are limited by data transformations (e. Read More

Multiple molecular events underlie stochastic switching between 2 heritable cell states in fungi.

Authors:
Naomi Ziv Lucas R Brenes Alexander Johnson

PLoS Biol 2022 May 20;20(5):e3001657. Epub 2022 May 20.

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Eukaryotic transcriptional networks are often large and contain several levels of feedback regulation. Many of these networks have the ability to generate and maintain several distinct transcriptional states across multiple cell divisions and to switch between them. In certain instances, switching between cell states is stochastic, occurring in a small subset of cells of an isogenic population in a seemingly homogenous environment. Read More
