Abstract Introduction Herpetic whitlows in infants are rare. Previous authors only reported individual case reports. We present a case series of six infants. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective study of six cases of herpetic whitlows in infants seen by the senior author (MMA) over the past 23 years (1995–2017 inclusive). The following data were collected: age, sex, digit involved in the hand, mode of transmission, time of presentation to the author, clinical appearance, presence of secondary bacterial infection, presence of other lesions outside the hand, method of diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Results All six infants initially presented with classic multiple vesicles of the digital pulp. In all cases, there was a history of active herpes labialis in the mother. Incision and drainage or deroofing of the vesicles (for diagnostic purposes) resulted in secondary bacterial infection. Conclusion The current report is the first series in the literature on herpetic whitlows in infants. We stress on the mode of transmission (from the mother) and establishing the diagnosis clinically. In these cases, no need for obtaining viral cultures or polymerase chain reaction; and no medications are required. Once the vesicles are disrupted, secondary bacterial infection is frequent and a combination of oral acyclovir and intravenous antibiotics will be required.

The senior author has elsewhere argued [8] that foreign exchange earned by the export of West Pakistan-manufactured goods has a high domestic cost. Much the same contention has been advanced by Hecox [7], Islam [9] and MacEwan [11]. In these papers the relationship between costs and earnings is usually based on fairly abstract assumptions. The purpose of this note is to reduce the calculations to a "plain man" level. Specifically, we try to calculate how many rupees of indigenous resources are expended to earn each extra rupee of foreign exchange which is received from exporting cotton textiles and leather goods rather than their primary ingredients, namely raw cotton and hides and skins i. Since this note was written, the Board of Economic Inquiry, Lahore, at the request of the West Pakistan Planning and Development Department, has undertaken a wider study applying the same general approach used here.

Microsurgical Resection

Microsurgical resection of the medullary cavernoma is rare, comprising less than 15% of more than 250 surgeries of brainstem cavernoma performed by the senior author (H.B.).1 This video demonstrates a case of a cavernous malformation inside the lateral part of the medulla, which was surgically treated via the olivary zone by the retrosigmoid supracondylar approach in a half-sitting position. Osseous drilling of the lateral foramen magnum provided wide exposure of the cerebellomedullary cistern around the olive.2,3 The lesion was completely dissected at the appropriate cleavage plane from the normal parenchyma. The patient developed no new neurological deficits and had no recurrence during 3 years of follow-up after the operation.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/7i7SccS5HmU.

Abstract BACKGROUND Tumor proximity to the ventricle and ventricular entry (VE) during surgery have both been associated with poorer prognoses; however, the interaction between these two factors is poorly understood. METHODS The UCSF tumor registry was searched for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent supratentorial glioblastoma who underwent surgical resection with the senior author between 2013 – 2018. Tumor location with respect to the subventricular zone (SVZ), size, VE, and extent of resection were assessed using pre and postoperative imaging. RESULTS In the 200-patient cohort of newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma, 26.5% had VE. Comparing patients with VE to those without VE, there was no difference in postoperative hydrocephalus (1.9% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.36), ventriculoperitoneal shunting (0% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.17), pseudomeningoceles (7.5% vs. 5.4%, p = 0.58), or subdural hematomas (11.3% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.07). Importantly, rates of leptomeningeal disease (7.5% in VE vs. 10.2% w/o VE, p = 0.57) and distant parenchymal recurrence (17.9% in VE vs. 23.1% w/o VE, p = 0.35) were not different between the groups. There was no effect of VE on EOR when controlling for SVZ type. Newly diagnosed patients with tumors contacting the SVZ (Type 1 or 2) had worse survival than patients with tumors that did not contact the SVZ (Type 3 or 4) (1.27 vs 1.84 years, p = 0.014, HR 1.8, CI 1.08 – 3.03), but VE was not associated with worse survival in these patients with high risk SVZ Type 1 and 2 tumors (1.15 vs 1.68 years, p = 0.151, HR 0.59, CI 0.26 – 1.34). DISCUSSION VE was well tolerated with complications being rare events. There was no increase in leptomeningeal spread or distant parenchymal recurrence in patients with VE. Finally, VE did not change survival for patients with tumors contacting the ventricle.

ObjectiveTo estimate the financial costs paid by individual medical researchers from meeting the article processing charges (APCs) levied by open access journals in 2019.DesignCross-sectional analysis.Data sourcesScopus was used to generate two random samples of researchers, the first with a senior author article indexed in the ‘Medicine’ subject area (general researchers) and the second with an article published in the ten highest-impact factor general clinical medicine journals (high-impact researchers) in 2019. For each researcher, Scopus was used to identify all first and senior author original research or review articles published in 2019. Data were obtained from Scopus, institutional profiles, Journal Citation Reports, publisher databases, the Directory of Open Access Journals, and individual journal websites.Main outcome measuresMedian APCs paid by general and high-impact researchers for all first and senior author research and review articles published in 2019.ResultsThere were 241 general and 246 high-impact researchers identified as eligible for our study. In 2019, the general and high-impact researchers published a total of 914 (median 2, IQR 1–5) and 1471 (4, 2–8) first or senior author research or review articles, respectively. 42% (384/914) of the articles from the general researchers and 29% (428/1471) of the articles from the high-impact medical researchers were published in fully open access journals. The median total APCs paid by general researchers in 2019 was US$191 (US$0–US$2500) and the median total paid by high-impact researchers was US$2900 (US$0–US$5465); the maximum paid by a single researcher in total APCs was US$30115 and US$34676, respectively.ConclusionsMedical researchers in 2019 were found to have paid between US$0 and US$34676 in total APCs. As journals with APCs become more common, it is important to continue to evaluate the potential cost to researchers, especially on individuals who may not have the funding or institutional resources to cover these costs.

AbstractFemoral tunnel malposition is the most common reason for failure of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. There are several methods to identify the anatomical location of femoral footprint. Femoral offset aimer technique is one such technique which is easy to use and reliable. It is an ideal technique for junior and inexperienced surgeons to recreate the femoral tunnel in its anatomical footprint. The senior author (P.E.) has been using this technique for 30 consecutive cases in his first year of independent practice during his consultancy without any major intraoperative complications. The author describes this technique in this article with tips and tricks which will especially guide the junior and inexperienced surgeons to avoid running into intraoperative problems while drilling the femoral tunnel.

Agricultural Yield

The aim of the investigations here entered upon is statistical analysis of the yield of agricultural crops in terms of the stages of the plant’s development. When the yield is a fruit, then precedent stages determining the yield must be the flower and, before this, the development of flowering branches. In such a case, for full analysis of the final yield, careful records of these stages must first be taken all through the development season of the crop. The senior author has elaborated, during experiments on cotton in Egypt, the procedure for carrying out such analysis and the points to be attended to. Armed with this method of analysis the effects of environmental conditions on the development of the crop can be satisfactorily distinguished. The chief factors of environment capable of control in field work are—the space allowed to each plant, the date of sowing, the supply of water, of manures, and the choice of the year in which the crop is grown.

Aims Cement-in-cement revision of the femoral component represents a widely practised technique for a variety of indications in revision total hip arthroplasty. In this study, we compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of two polished tapered femoral components. Methods From our prospectively collated database, we identified all patients undergoing cement-in-cement revision from January 2005 to January 2013 who had a minimum of two years' follow-up. All cases were performed by the senior author using either an Exeter short revision stem or the C-Stem AMT high offset No. 1 prosthesis. Patients were followed-up annually with clinical and radiological assessment. Results A total of 97 patients matched the inclusion criteria (50 Exeter and 47 C-Stem AMT components). There were no significant differences between the patient demographic data in either group. Mean follow-up was 9.7 years. A significant improvement in Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and 12-item Short-Form Survey (SF-12) scores was observed in both cohorts. Leg lengths were significantly shorter in the Exeter group, with a mean of -4 mm in this cohort compared with 0 mm in the C-Stem AMT group. One patient in the Exeter group had early evidence of radiological loosening. In total, 16 patients (15%) underwent further revision of the femoral component (seven in the C-Stem AMT group and nine in the Exeter group). No femoral components were revised for aseptic loosening. There were two cases of femoral component fracture in the Exeter group. Conclusion Our series shows promising mid-term outcomes for the cement-in-cement revision technique using either the Exeter or C-Stem AMT components. These results demonstrate that cement-in-cement revision using a double or triple taper-slip design is a safe and reliable technique when used for the correct indications.

The Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met in association with the 50th annual meeting of the Academy in New Orleans. Several topics of interest to both pediatricians and pediatric urologists were discussed. Inasmuch as members are unable to attend subspecialty sessions when they occur simultaneously with other scheduled programs, this summary is prepared to offer an overview of the content of the meeting of our Section. Readers interested in a specific topic should feel free to contact the senior author of papers of special interest to them. The meeting was organized into topic-oriented sessions including hypospadias, reconstructive surgery, anomalies of the testis and scrotum, myelodysoplasia, principles of urinary undiversion, ureteral obstruction and techniques to assess the severity of obstruction, urinary incontinence, and vesicouretenal reflux. Miscellaneous papers of interest to both pediatricians and pediatric urologists were also discussed. This summary will focus on those papers of mutual interest to urologists and pediatricians. HYPOSPADIAS Several years ago, the Sections on Urology and Child Development issued a position paper on timing for elective genital surgery in children.1 This paper suggested that, for psychological reasons, surgery at less than 1 year of age was preferable. However, for technical reasons, especially regarding hypospadias repairs, surgery was often best delayed until 2 years of age. More recently, Manley and Epstein2 reported a series of very young infants undergoing major hypospadias reconstructions (as young as age 6 months), with no apparent technical difficulty, no increase in complications, and lessened postoperative anxiety. Two papers at this meeting addressed this topic of current concern.

Shed Light

Experience plays a critical role in crafting high-impact scientific work. This is particularly evident in top multidisciplinary journals, where a scientist is unlikely to appear as senior author if he or she has not previously published within the same journal. Here, we develop a quantitative understanding of author order by quantifying this “chaperone effect,” capturing how scientists transition into senior status within a particular publication venue. We illustrate that the chaperone effect has a different magnitude for journals in different branches of science, being more pronounced in medical and biological sciences and weaker in natural sciences. Finally, we show that in the case of high-impact venues, the chaperone effect has significant implications, specifically resulting in a higher average impact relative to papers authored by new principal investigators (PIs). Our findings shed light on the role played by experience in publishing within specific scientific journals, on the paths toward acquiring the necessary experience and expertise, and on the skills required to publish in prestigious venues.
