    Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 Apr;97(15):e0303
    Department of Hematology.
    Rationale: Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare syndrome of lymphoma and leukemic infiltration of cranial or peripheral nerves.

    Patient Concerns: We report a case of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in a 24-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing, hypersalivation, hoarseness, ptosis, facial paralysis, and facial hypoesthesia associated with NL.

    Immunohistochemical expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in stromal cells of vaginal tissue in post-menopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse.
    Indian J Med Res 2017 11;146(Suppl):S63-S67
    Clinical Department of Pathology, Split University Hospital Center, Split, Croatia.
    Background & Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common medical condition that affects adult women of different ages. The support of a normal pelvic floor is the result of complex interactions between ligaments, muscles, connective tissue and vaginal walls. Hypoxia and oxidative stress can reduce protein synthesis in the pelvic muscles that may contribute to muscular atrophy. Read More

    Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Pregnancy in the Female Bladder Exstrophy Patient.
    Curr Urol Rep 2018 Feb 26;19(3):18. Epub 2018 Feb 26.
    Department of Urologic Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, A-1302 Medical Center North, Nashville, TN, 37232-2765, USA.
    Purpose Of Review: Classic bladder exstrophy (BE) remains one of the most demanding reconstructive challenges encountered in urology. In female BE patients, the long-term sequela of both primary and revision genitoplasty, as well as intrinsic pelvic floor deficits, predispose adult women to significant issues with sexual function, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and complexities with reproductive health.

    Recent Findings: Contemporary data suggest 30-50% of women with BE develop prolapse at a mean age of 16 years. Read More

    FOXL2C134W-Induced CYP19 Expression via Cooperation With SMAD3 in HGrC1 Cells.
    Endocrinology 2018 Apr;159(4):1690-1703
    Department of Reproductive Medicine, School of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California.
    Germline knockout studies in female mice demonstrated an essential role for forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) in early follicle development, whereas an inducible granulosa cell (GC)-specific deletion of Foxl2 in adults has shown ovary-to-testis somatic sex reprogramming. In women, over 120 different germline mutations in the FOXL2 gene have been shown to cause blepharophimosis/ptosis/epicantus inversus syndrome associated with or without primary ovarian insufficiency. By contrast, a single somatic mutation (FOXL2C134W) accounts for almost all adult-type GC tumors (aGCTs). Read More

    Department of Clinical Sciences, Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, Massachusetts, United States of America.
    Canine myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) resembles the early stages of myxomatous pathology seen in human non-syndromic mitral valve prolapse, a common valvular heart disease in the adult human population. Canine MMVD is seen in older subjects, suggesting age-related epigenetic dysregulation leading to derangements in valvular cell populations and matrix synthesis or degradation. We hypothesized that valvular interstitial cells (VICs) undergo disease-relevant changes in miRNA expression. Read More

    From the Departments of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Family Medicine, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City.
    Objectives: Despite their growing prevalence, pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) remain undertreated and not well understood by patients, with treatment disparities noted in specific subgroups of women. The goal of the present study was to determine the basic understanding of PFDs of women in the southern Appalachian region of the United States, to determine factors that predict knowledge, and to explore the possible disparities in seeking access to care among women in this region who reported symptoms.

    Methods: A survey of patient knowledge of PFDs, specifically urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), was conducted in Johnson City, Tennessee, and involved 305 female patients from this city and the surrounding region. Read More

    J Heart Valve Dis 2017 05;26(3):358-360
    Cardiovascular Surgery Department, University Hospital of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
    Fenestrated aortic valve is a frequent condition which is, for most of the time, asymptomatic and generally has no influence on aortic valve competence. However, aortic valve regurgitation could occur, especially in the case of fibrous strand rupture. In this situation, acute aortic regurgitation is poorly tolerated and requires urgent surgical correction. Read More

    Bileaflet Foldoplasty in Barlow’s Disease.
    J Heart Valve Dis 2017 05;26(3):355-357
    Banner University Medical Center - Tucson, Tucson, AZ, USA.
    Mitral valve repair is a feasible and preferable option for the treatment of Barlow's disease. Complex valve repair techniques, in contrast, often lead to increased cross-clamp times and low cardiac output syndrome. A simple, fast, and reproducible foldoplasty technique to reduce anterior and posterior mitral leaflet heights may improve coaptation and reduce mitral regurgitation. Read More

    Phys Ther 2017 Nov;97(11):1075-1083
    Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Gynecologic Health and Disease Branch, Bethesda, Maryland.
    Background: There is significant need for trials evaluating the long-term effectiveness of a rigorous program of perioperative behavioral therapy with pelvic floor muscle training (BPMT) in women undergoing transvaginal reconstructive surgery for prolapse.

    Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of perioperative BPMT on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and sexual function following vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

    Design: This study is a secondary report of a 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial. Read More
