Aim: The aim of this research was to evaluate the long-term outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) versus other duodenopancreatic resections (non-PD) for the surgical treatment of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1).

Methods: Prospectively recorded patients with biochemically confirmed MEN1-ZES who underwent duodenopancreatic surgery were retrospectively analyzed in terms of clinical characteristics, complications, cure rate, and long-term morbidity, including quality of life assessment (EORTC QLQ-C30).

Results: 35 patients (16 female, 19 male) with MEN1-ZES due to duodenopancreatic gastrinomas with a median age of 42 (range 30-74) years were included. At the time of diagnosis, 28 (80%) gastrinomas were malignant, but distant metastases were only present in one (3%) patient. Eleven patients (31.4%) underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) as the initial procedure, whereas 24 patients underwent non-PD resections involving duodenotomy with gastrinoma excision, enucleation of the pNEN from the head of the pancreas, and peripancreatic lymphadenectomy, either with or without distal pancreatectomy (i.e., either Thompson procedure, = 12, or DUODX, = 12). There was no significant difference in perioperative morbidity and mortality between the two groups ( ≥ 0.05). One (9%) patient of the PD group required reoperation for recurrent or metastatic ZES compared to eight (22.8%) patients of the non-PD resection groups. After a median follow-up time of 134 months (range 6-480) nine of 11 (82%) patients in the PD group, two of 12 (16%) patients in the Thompson procedure group, and three of 12 (25%) patients in the DUODX group had normal serum gastrin levels. In addition, the global health QoLScore was better in the PD group (76.9) compared to the Thompson procedure (57.4) and DUODX (59.5) groups.

Conclusions: Initial PD seems to be the superior surgical procedure for MEN1-ZES, resulting in a long-term cure rate of about 80%, fewer duodenopancreatic reoperations, and an acceptable quality of life.

A Retrospective Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of an Interdependent Pairwise microRNA Expression Analysis with a Mutation Panel in Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules.

Background: Addition of genetic analysis to the evaluation of thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) samples improves diagnostic accuracy of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITN) with Bethesda III or IV cytopathology. We previously reported the performance of a multiplatform molecular test (MPTX), referred to here as MPTXv1, that includes a mutation panel (ThyGeNEXT®) plus an algorithmic microRNA (miRNA) risk classifier (ThyraMIR®). Complex interactions of growth promoting and suppressing miRNAs affect the phenotype. Read More

Math Biosci Eng 2022 Jun;19(9):8935-8962

Department of Mathematical Sciences, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132, USA.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, which has become a worldwide pandemic greatly impacting our daily life and work. A large number of mathematical models, including the susceptible-exposed-infected-removed (SEIR) model and deep learning methods, such as long-short-term-memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent units (GRU)-based methods, have been employed for the analysis and prediction of the COVID-19 outbreak. This paper describes a SEIR-LSTM/GRU algorithm with time-varying parameters that can predict the number of active cases and removed cases in the US. Read More

Introduction: Because of the relative rarity of Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) cases, patient registries were developed to combine clinical information from multiple institutions to maximize patient care and outcomes. This study examines the history and trends regarding the use of growth-friendly devices for index surgical procedures in EOS patients within the Pediatric Spine Study Group database.

Methods: All index growth-friendly implants were queried from registry inception until October 2020. Read More

Background: Telomere length, a biomarker of cell division and cellular aging, has been associated with multiple chronic disease endpoints. Experienced trauma over the life course may contribute to telomere shortening via mechanisms of stress embodiment. However, it is unclear how patterns of co-occurring trauma during sensitive periods (e. Read More

Concurrent Needle and Standard Arthroscopy for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Daniel Shubert Steven DeFroda Clayton W Nuelle

Arthrosc Tech 2022 Jul 21;11(7):e1335-e1340. Epub 2022 Jun 21.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Columbia, Missouri, U.S.A.

Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a technically demanding procedure, particularly with respect to tibial footprint debridement and tibial tunnel placement, where iatrogenic damage to anatomic structures is a well reported complication and incorrect tunnel placement can have functional implications. Preparation of the tibial component often involves switching between 30° and 70° arthroscopes and frequent portal swapping and reorientation, which can be inefficient and time-consuming. As the technology and picture resolution of needle arthroscopy has improved, its clinical application has widened. Read More
