A new study finds that reef-building corals emerged only when ocean conditions supported the construction of these creatures' stony skeletons, whereas diverse softer corals and sea anemones flourished at other times. Without a significant change to anthropogenic carbon emissions, the new findings present stark implications for the present and future of hard-bodied corals while suggesting a silver lining for the diversity of some of their softer-bodied relatives.

Researchers have investigated how the parasitic dodder Cuscuta australis controls flower formation. They showed that the parasite eavesdrops on the flowering signals of its host plants in order to activate its own flowering machinery. By synchronizing flowering with its host plant, the parasite makes sure that it can grow on its host long enough to produce the optimal amount of seeds.

Abstract Gastrointestinal tract neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a group of rare heterogeneous tumors with different prognoses. The 2019 WHO classification of digestive system tumors defines the classification of NENs as neuroendocrine tumors (NETs G1-G3) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). We investigated outer dense fiber of sperm tails 1 (ODF1) expression in 137 gastrointestinal tract NENs including 53 NETs G1, 29 NETs G2, 3 NETs G3, and 52 NECs. Twenty adenocarcinomas...

Whether generated within a lab setting or isolated from the wild, variant alleles continue to be an important resource for decoding gene function in model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans. With advances in massively parallel sequencing, multiple whole-genome sequenced (WGS) strain collections are now available to the research community. The Million Mutation Project (MMP) for instance, analysed 2007 N2-derived, mutagenized strains. Individually, each strain averages ~400 single nucleotide...

David G. JaraAunque muchos de nuestros muebles estén hechos a partir de materia prima tomada de las plantas, las plantas mismas están muy lejos de ser muebles, un conjunto de objetos estáticos para su uso y disfrute en "nuestra" gran casa la tierra. Tampoco son el decorado de nuestra evolución, ni un gran paisaje evocador que recurrentemente aparece en todas nuestras utopías o edades de oro, y como Jardín del Edén o Paraíso más allá de la vida. Para empezar, sin ellas, no estaríamos sobre tierra...

Preoperative evaluation and treatment consideration of parotid gland tumors. Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol. 2020 Aug;5(4):694-702 Authors: Aro K, Korpi J, Tarkkanen J, Mäkitie A, Atula T Abstract Background: The nature of parotid tumors often remains unknown preoperatively and final histopathology may reveal unexpected malignancy. Still, the use of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and imaging varies in the management of these tumors....

Abstract The rare benign giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is defined by an almost unique mutation in the H3.3 family of histone genes H3‐3A or H3‐3B, however the same mutation is occasionally found in primary malignant bone tumours which share many features with the benign variant. Moreover, lung metastases can occur despite the absence of malignant histological features in either the primary or metastatic lesions. Herein we investigated the genetic events of 17 GCTBs including benign and malignant...

AbstractUp to 25% of patients with acute diverticulitis develop complicated disease. Colocutaneous fistula with lower limb fasciitis secondary to complicated diverticulitis is a rare event. A 71-year-old woman with Class 3 obesity and Type 2 diabetes was admitted to the hospital because of left lower limb fasciitis associated with acute sigmoid diverticulitis complicated by covered perforation. The fasciitis was treated with multiple fasciotomies, antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The patient...

AbstractMetastatic breast carcinoma is a relatively common clinical entity. However, the prognosis of oligometastatic and polygometastatic disease differs considerably pertaining to five-year survival. Metastatic breast carcinoma to the sternum has been described as early as 1988. We describe two cases in our institution who presented with solitary sternal metastases with a previous history of treated breast cancer. In both cases, there had been a history of previous left breast cancer treated aggressively...

ABSTRACTUnloading of the left ventricle (LV) is essential for the treatment of LV free-wall rupture (LVFWR), and it is well-known that the LV can be optimally unloaded with the Impella system. However, there has been no report on applying the Impella system for the treatment of LVFWR. Here, we report a patient with FWR after massive myocardial infarction who was successfully treated with non-suture repair via median sternotomy and implantation of Impella CP (Abiomed, Danvers, MA).

AbstractCystadenoma is a rare benign salivary gland neoplasm characterized by a predominantly multicystic growth pattern. The parotid gland is involved in about 45–50% of cystadenoma cases, with the minor glands of the lip and buccal mucosa being the next most common sites. The tongue is rarely involved; only one congenital case is reported in the literature. Here, we report a 63-year-old man who was referred to our hospital for a nodule on the right edge of his tongue that developed into an elastic...

AbstractTissue expansion is a versatile tool in resurfacing soft tissue defects of the breast, extremity, head and neck that involves the placement of a temporary implant adjacent to a soft tissue defect. Incremental expansion exploits the viscoelastic properties of skin to generate a skin flap that can be used to resurface defects and provide cover over permanent protheses. Infection, implant extrusion and skin necrosis are recognized complications of tissue expansion. This article presents a revised...

AbstractPapillary meningioma (PM) represents a very rare histological subtype, which may present with massive intracerebral hemorrhage. Gross total tumor resection results in a lower recurrence rate and mortality. A 69-year-old man had been experiencing headache for 6 months. After exacerbating right frontal headache, he was brought to the emergency room. His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 11/15 and he had a left-sided hemiparesis. A computed tomography brain scan revealed a massive right frontal intracerebral...

We report a case of spontaneous pneumothorax in a PAVM patient. A 26-year-old man with previously diagnosed HHT and multiple small PAVMs presented with chest pain and dyspnea and was referred to our hospital. Chest X-ray showed a left-sided pneumothorax. Computed tomography (CT) showed apical bullae on both sides of the...
