Gestational Surrogacy

With improved survival rates among cancer patients, fertility preservation is now being recognized as an issue of great importance. There are currently several methods of fertility preservation available in female cancer patients and the options and techniques via assisted reproduction and cryopreservation are increasing, but some are still experimental and continues to be evaluated. The established means of preserving fertility include embryo cryopreservation, gonadal shielding during radiation therapy, ovarian transposition, conservative gynecologic surgery such as radical trachelectomy, donor embryos/oocytes, gestational surrogacy, and adoption. The experimental methods include oocyte cryopreservation, ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation, in vitro maturation, and ovarian suppression. With advances in methods for the preservation of fertility, providing information about risk of infertility and possible options of fertility preservation to all young patients with cancer, and discussing future fertility with them should be also considered as one of the important parts of consultation at the time of cancer diagnosis.

Intrarenal Ras

Previous studies indicate that the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is activated in type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) experimental animal models and human subjects, and is reflected by augmentation of urinary angiotensinogen (uAGT) excretion rate. Studies were performed to evaluate uAGT in young patients with short duration diabetes mellitus (DM) and its relationships with HbA1c and urinary 8-isoprostane excretion rate. Blood and urine samples were collected from 77 young (15±1 years) patients (44 male, 33 female) with short duration T1DM treated only with insulin and 36 (17 male, 19 female) control subjects. Serum glucose levels were 85±4 mg/dl in control subjects and 192±11 mg/dl in DM patients. Urinary Alb/Cr and uPro/Cr ratios were not significantly different in DM patients compared to control (8.6±.9 vs 9.7±.6 and 51±8 vs 62±14 mg/g). However, the uAGT/Cr ratios were significantly elevated in the DM patients (6.8±.8 vs 16.5±1.5 ug/g). Correlation analysis demonstrated highly significant relationships (P<.0001) between uAGT/Cr and HbA1c (R=.44) and urinary 8-isoprostane excretion rate (R=.52) in the DM patients. These results indicate that, even in young non-albuminuric patients with relatively short duration of DM, uAGT excretion rates are increased, suggesting early activation of the intrarenal RAS, and are correlated with HbA1c and urinary 8-isoprostane levels indicative of increased reactive oxygen species. Accordingly, uAGT levels may serve as an early marker of an activated intrarenal RAS and provide a specific index of renal RAS status potentially useful in monitoring clinical response to therapy.

BACKGROUND This report detailed an extremely rare location of an endodermal cyst. Such location of the tumor can pose radiological confusion and a therapeutic dilemma. However, when identified, it can be a pleasant surprise for the surgeon and provide the possibility of a symptom-free long life for the patient. OBSERVATIONS This report discussed two young patients who presented with relatively short-duration reports of ataxia and diplopia. Investigations revealed intraaxial brainstem lesion. During surgery, thick, pus-like fluid was evacuated and part of a wall was resected. Histology revealed that the lesion was an endodermal cyst. Both patients are well and are lesion- and symptom-free for 24 and 72 months. LESSONS Endodermal cysts are some of the few long-standing and benign intraaxial brainstem lesions.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

Ica Stenosis

Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and other established and emerging cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic ICA disease. Design: Cross-sectional study of consecutive patients with significant (> 50 %) ICA stenosis. Patients and methods: Carotid plaque echostructure, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, serum lipoprotein (a), homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein ratio, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, and the Framingham risk score were assessed in 124 consecutive patients (70 asymptomatic; 54 symptomatic) with significant (> 50 %) ICA stenosis. Results: The asymptomatic and symptomatic groups did not differ in terms of gender distribution (p = 0.76) and severity of stenosis (p = 0.62). Echolucent plaques (type 1 and 2) were more predominant in patients with symptomatic disease (p = 0.004, OR = 2.13, 95 % CI = 1.26-3.6). Patients with plaques type 1 were relatively younger than those with type 4 (p = 0.02). None of the other factors assessed had any significant association with symptomatic disease and any type of carotid plaque. Conclusions: Besides the severity of carotid stenosis, the presence of an echolucent plaque appears as an important factor associated with symptomatic ICA disease. Also, young patients are more likely to have an echolucent plaque suggesting an age-related association with plaque maturation.
