Mucinous metaplasia in Warthin tumor (WT) is a recognized phenomenon. Nevertheless, its presence can create a diagnostic challenge in the distinction from the newly proposed variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), Warthin-like MEC. In this study, we evaluated the significance and diagnostic relevance of mucinous metaplasia in WTs. A total of 30 WTs diagnosed based on resection specimens formed the basis of this retrospective study. Mucicarmine stain was performed to identify mucinous metaplasia, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was employed to detect MAML2 gene rearrangement. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nec-1s-7-cl-o-nec1.html Following review, one MAML2 rearranged case was reclassified as Warthin-like MEC as the classic bilayered epithelium in WT was not identified. The diagnosis of WT was confirmed in the remaining 29 cases. Mucinous metaplasia was encountered in 24 WTs (83%) with 14% (4/29) having an abundant amount. We found that mucinous metaplasia correlated with tumor size (p 0.05). The MAML2 FISH analyses performed in 18 WTs with variable amounts of mucinous metaplasia were negative for rearrangement. In conclusion, mucinous metaplasia is fairly common in WTs and shows a significant correlation with tumor size. Therefore, caution should be taken to avoid over-interpretation of WT with mucinous metaplasia as MEC in cases showing the classic bilayered oncocytic lining epithelium. Published by Elsevier Inc.OBJECTIVE To examine trends in incidence and survival of non-epithelial ovarian cancer in Denmark over nearly 40 years, using nationwide, population-based cancer registry data. METHODS From 1978 to 2016, we identified the non-epithelial ovarian cancer cases among all ovarian malignancies in the Danish Cancer Registry. Age-specific incidence rates, age-standardized incidence rates, and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall and 5-year relative survival analyses were conducted and supplemented with Cox regression to explore the effect of different characteristics on overall mortality. RESULTS A total of 720 non-epithelial ovarian cancers were identified, corresponding to 3.4% of all ovarian malignancies. The majority of non-epithelial ovarian cancers were germ cell tumors (49.9%) and sex cord-stromal tumors (38.6%). The age-standardized incidence rate of germ cell tumors was stable over the study period, ranging between 0.33 and 0.39 per 100,000 woman-years. In contrast, the age-standardized incidence rate of sex cord-stromal tumors declined from 0.30 (1978-1987) to 0.09 (2008-2016) per 100,000 woman-years (AAPC = -5.15%; 95% CI -7.29, -2.96). The 5-year relative survival of germ cell tumors and sex cord-stromal tumors was 94% and 79%, respectively, in the most recent period (2008-2011). Cox regression showed that overall mortality was associated with calendar year, age, and stage. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of germ cell tumors was stable over calendar time, whereas the incidence of sex cord-stromal tumors decreased significantly. Non-epithelial ovarian cancer overall mortality has decreased during the study period and this could not be explained by taking stage and age at diagnosis into account. In this report, HLA polymorphisms (A, B, DRB1 and DQB1 loci) were determined in 149 unrelated Iraqi Arab potential bone marrow and kidney donors. Molecular genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction followed by specific oligonucleotide probe hybridizations. Data were analyzed by Arlequin software. HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 genotype frequencies were significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, while HLA-DQB1 frequencies showed no deviation. A*03, B*35, DRB1*11 and DQB1*02 were the most frequent allele groups, while A*02-B*07-DRB1*04-DQB1*03 was the most frequent haplotype. HLA data are available in the Allele Frequencies Net Database (AFND 3680) under the population name "Iraq Arabs". BACKGROUND Buprenorphine is a cornerstone to curbing opioid epidemics, but emerging data suggest that rural pharmacists in the US sometimes refuse to dispense this medication. We conducted a case study to explore buprenorphine dispensing practices in 12 rural Appalachian Kentucky counties, and analyze whether and how they were shaped by features of the rural risk environment. METHODS In this case study, we conducted one-on-one semi-structured interviews with 14 pharmacists operating 15 pharmacies in these counties to explore buprenorphine dispensing practices and perceived influences on these practices. Thematic analyses of the resulting transcripts revealed three features of the rural risk environment that shaped dispensing. To explore these three risk environment features, we analyzed policy documents (e.g., Attorney General lawsuits) and administrative databases (e.g., incarceration data). Textual documents were analyzed using thematic analyses and administrative data were analyzed using descriptive statis dismantle aggressive OA marketing should be strengthened; and efforts to re-build pharmacist trust in physicians are needed. BACKGROUND Donor hepatectomy time is associated with graft survival after liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to identify the impact of donor hepatectomy time on biliary injury during donation after circulatory death liver transplantation. METHODS First, bile duct biopsies of livers included in (pre)clinical machine perfusion research were analyzed. Secondly, of the same livers, bile samples were collected during normothermic machine perfusion. Lastly, a nationwide retrospective cohort study was performed including 273 adult patients undergoing donation after circulatory death liver transplantation between January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2017. Primary endpoint was development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures within 2 years of donation after circulatory death liver transplantation. Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were used to assess the influence of hepatectomy time on the development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures. RESULTS Livers with severe histological bile duct injury had a higher median hepatectomy time (P = .03). During normothermic machine perfusion, livers with a hepatectomy time >50 minutes had lower biliary bicarbonate and bile pH levels. In the nationwide retrospective study, donor hepatectomy time was an independent risk factor for non-anastomotic biliary strictures after donation after circulatory death liver transplantation (Hazard Ratio 1.18 per 10 minutes increase, 95% Confidence Interval 1.06-1.30, P value = .002). CONCLUSION Donor hepatectomy time negatively influences histological bile duct injury before normothermic machine perfusion and bile composition during normothermic machine perfusion. Additionally, hepatectomy time is a significant independent risk factor for the development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures after donation after circulatory death liver transplantation.

Long Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN) is an effective malaria prevention mechanism. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/act001-dmamcl.html However, ownership of LLIN does not imply its use among households. The availability of enough sleeping space is a natural prerequisite to install and use LLINs. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of sleeping space and other socio-demographic factors of households' heads on LLINs usage among households. A cross-sectional household-based study was conducted using a quantitative approach. Data was collected exclusively from households that received LLINs at no direct financial cost to them in a mass malaria campaign conducted in the study area using a structured questionnaire. A total of 383 households sampled for the study received 1,181 LLINs with a range of 1 to 15 LLINs per household. Less than 16% of households that received more than 2 LLINs installed all the LLINs they received during the distribution. Among households that received LLINs, 45% of them did not use them at all and 36% of them used them every night including the night before data collection. The number of bedrooms, children and members per household, and the number of occupants per bedroom were also found statistically associated with the use of LLINs among households. The study used a quantitative approach to investigate sleeping space in relation to LLINs usage and malaria control, an area and topic that has not been adequately covered in the literature.Spinal cord tumors are a challenge for patients and neurosurgeons because of the high risk of neurologic deficits from the disease process and surgical interventions. Spinal cord tumors are uncommon, and approximately 2%-3% of primary intra-axial tumors of the central nervous system occur in the spinal cord. Primary intra-axial tumors are usually derived from neuroepithelial tissue, especially glial cells. This often leads to a classic intramedullary mass differential diagnosis of ependymoma or astrocytoma, which together constitute up to 70% of spinal cord tumors. For example, ependymomas occur predominantly in adults, and astrocytomas (specifically pilocytic astrocytomas) occur predominantly in children. While that is an excellent starting point, in order to refine the differential diagnosis, the authors review the radiologic-pathologic features of specific neoplastic categories and entities recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System and a few additional congenital-developmental entities. Radiologists can add value by providing a reasonable preoperative differential diagnosis for the patient and neurosurgeon, in many cases by favoring the most common conditions, and in other cases by identifying radiologic features that may point toward a less common entity. Some of the less common entities include intramedullary myxopapillary ependymoma, spinal subependymoma, and spinal hemangioblastoma. Whenever possible, the characteristic imaging features and locations of these tumors are explained or traced back to the underlying cell of origin and findings seen at histopathologic examination.See discussion on this article by Buch.Medical errors are a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality and the third leading cause of death in the United States. Errors resulting in missed breast cancer are the most common reason for medical malpractice lawsuits against all physicians. Missed breast cancers are breast malignancies that are detectable at retrospective review of a previously obtained mammogram that was prospectively reported as showing negative, benign, or probably benign findings. Investigators in prior studies have found that up to 35% of both interval cancers and screen-detected cancers could be classified as missed. As such, in conjunction with having awareness of the most common misleading appearances of breast cancer, it is important to understand the cognitive processes and unconscious biases that can impact image interpretation, thereby helping to decrease the number of missed breast cancers. The various cognitive processes that lead to unconscious bias in breast imaging, such as satisfaction of search, inattention blindness, hindsight, anchoring, premature closing, and satisfaction of reporting, are outlined in this pictorial review of missed breast cancers. In addition, strategies for reducing the rates of these missed cancers are highlighted. The most commonly missed and misinterpreted lesions, including stable lesions, benign-appearing masses, one-view findings, developing asymmetries, subtle calcifications, and architectural distortion, also are reviewed. This information will help illustrate why and how breast cancers are missed and aid in the development of appropriate minimization strategies in breast imaging. ©RSNA, 2020.Background and purpose Since the onset of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, doctors and public authorities have demonstrated concern about the reduction in quality of care for other health conditions due to social restrictions and lack of resources. Using a population-based stroke registry, we investigated the impact of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in stroke admissions in Joinville, Brazil. Methods Patients admitted after the onset of COVID-19 restrictions in the city (defined as March 17, 2020) were compared with those admitted in 2019. We analyzed differences between stroke incidence, types, severity, reperfusion therapies, and time from stroke onset to admission. Statistical tests were also performed to compare the 30 days before and after COVID-19 to the same period in 2019. Results We observed a decrease in total stroke admissions from an average of 12.9/100 000 per month in 2019 to 8.3 after COVID-19 (P=0.0029). When compared with the same period in 2019, there was a 36.4% reduction in stroke admissions. There was no difference in admissions for severe stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >8), intraparenchymal hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusions The onset of COVID-19 was correlated with a reduction in admissions for transient, mild, and moderate strokes. Given the need to prevent the worsening of symptoms and the occurrence of medical complications in these groups, a reorganization of the stroke-care networks is necessary to reduce collateral damage caused by COVID-19.

Trump Halts Ukraine Aid As State Dept "Totally Went Nuclear" On Foreign Assistance
***
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-cuts-ukraine-aid-state-dept-totally-went-nuclear-foreign-assistance
****
he guidance, issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was sent to all diplomatic and consular posts, and orders all department staffers to issue "stop-work orders" on nearly all "existing foreign assistance awards."

It appears to go further than President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which instructed the department to pause foreign aid grants for 90 days pending review by the secretary. It had not been clear from the president’s order if it would affect already appropriated funds or Ukraine aid.

The new guidance means no further actions will be taken to disperse aid funding to programs already approved by the U.S. government, according to three current and two former officials familiar with the new guidance. -Politico

Rubio also outlined the Trump administration's stance on spending, saying “Every dollar we spend, every program we fund, and every policy we pursue must be justified with the answer to three simple questions,” Rubio wrote. The questions: Does the action make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous?

The new order reportedly shocked State Department officials.

"State just totally went nuclear on foreign assistance," a State Department official told Politico.



Rubio was confirmed unanimously by the Senate the day before and is the first of Trump’s Cabinet nominees on the job. Previously, he was a senior senator from Florida, and he served on the Foreign Relations Committee for more than a decade. He developed a reputation as a China Hawk and a fierce critic of the neoliberal foreign policy consensus that emerged after the Cold War.

Shortly after taking the oath of office, he sent a lengthy cable to every US diplomatic and consular post worldwide letting them know that the Biden administration had mistakenly emphasized "ideology over common sense," and "misread the world."

You'll Never Guess Who Still Gets Aid...
The document specifies that Israel and Egypt will continue to receive that sweet, sweet US taxpayer money. It also allows emergency food assistance and "legitimate expenses incurred prior to the date of this" guidance "under existing awards," and also that decisions need to be "consistent with the terms of the relevant award."

One State Department official as well as two former Biden admin officials told Politico that the pause appears to stop aid to Ukraine, Jordan and Taiwan, while the report suggests that the guidance could open the US government to civil liability from lawsuits over unfulfilled contracts if the terms are deemed to have been violated, said the current and former officials. That said, the note from Rubio clearly states that decision need to be "consistent with the terms of the relevant award."

METHODS From 1978 to 2016, we identified the non-epithelial ovarian cancer cases among all ovarian malignancies in the Danish Cancer Registry. Age-specific incidence rates, age-standardized incidence rates, and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall and 5-year relative survival analyses were conducted and supplemented with Cox regression to explore the effect of different characteristics on overall mortality. RESULTS A total of 720 non-epithelial ovarian cancers were identified, corresponding to 3.4% of all ovarian malignancies. The majority of non-epithelial ovarian cancers were germ cell tumors (49.9%) and sex cord-stromal tumors (38.6%). The age-standardized incidence rate of germ cell tumors was stable over the study period, ranging between 0.33 and 0.39 per 100,000 woman-years. In contrast, the age-standardized incidence rate of sex cord-stromal tumors declined from 0.30 (1978-1987) to 0.09 (2008-2016) per 100,000 woman-years (AAPC = -5.15%; 95% CI -7.29, -2.96).

CONCLUSIONS The incidence of germ cell tumors was stable over calendar time, whereas the incidence of sex cord-stromal tumors decreased significantly. Non-epithelial ovarian cancer overall mortality has decreased during the study period and this could not be explained by taking stage and age at diagnosis into account.

This information will help illustrate why and how breast cancers are missed and aid in the development of appropriate minimization strategies in breast imaging. ©RSNA, 2020.Background and purpose Since the onset of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, doctors and public authorities have demonstrated concern about the reduction in quality of care for other health conditions due to social restrictions and lack of resources. Using a population-based stroke registry, we investigated the impact of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in stroke admissions in Joinville, Brazil. Methods Patients admitted after the onset of COVID-19 restrictions in the city (defined as March 17, 2020) were compared with those admitted in 2019. We analyzed differences between stroke incidence, types, severity, reperfusion therapies, and time from stroke onset to admission. Statistical tests were also performed to compare the 30 days before and after COVID-19 to the same period in 2019. Results We observed a decrease in total stroke admissions from an average of 12.9/100 000 per month in 2019 to 8.3 after COVID-19 (P=0.0029). When compared with the same period in 2019, there was a 36.4% reduction in stroke admissions. There was no difference in admissions for severe stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >8), intraparenchymal hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusions The onset of COVID-19 was correlated with a reduction in admissions for transient, mild, and moderate strokes. Given the need to prevent the worsening of symptoms and the occurrence of medical complications in these groups, a reorganization of the stroke-care networks is necessary to reduce collateral damage caused by COVID-19.

Trump Halts Ukraine Aid As State Dept "Totally Went Nuclear" On Foreign Assistance

he guidance, issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was sent to all diplomatic and consular posts, and orders all department staffers to issue "stop-work orders" on nearly all "existing foreign assistance awards."

It appears to go further than President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which instructed the department to pause foreign aid grants for 90 days pending review by the secretary. It had not been clear from the president’s order if it would affect already appropriated funds or Ukraine aid.

The new guidance means no further actions will be taken to disperse aid funding to programs already approved by the U.S. government, according to three current and two former officials familiar with the new guidance. -Politico

Rubio also outlined the Trump administration's stance on spending, saying “Every dollar we spend, every program we fund, and every policy we pursue must be justified with the answer to three simple questions,” Rubio wrote. The questions: Does the action make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous?

The new order reportedly shocked State Department officials.

"State just totally went nuclear on foreign assistance," a State Department official told Politico.



Rubio was confirmed unanimously by the Senate the day before and is the first of Trump’s Cabinet nominees on the job. Previously, he was a senior senator from Florida, and he served on the Foreign Relations Committee for more than a decade. He developed a reputation as a China Hawk and a fierce critic of the neoliberal foreign policy consensus that emerged after the Cold War.

Shortly after taking the oath of office, he sent a lengthy cable to every US diplomatic and consular post worldwide letting them know that the Biden administration had mistakenly emphasized "ideology over common sense," and "misread the world."

You'll Never Guess Who Still Gets Aid...
The document specifies that Israel and Egypt will continue to receive that sweet, sweet US taxpayer money. It also allows emergency food assistance and "legitimate expenses incurred prior to the date of this" guidance "under existing awards," and also that decisions need to be "consistent with the terms of the relevant award."

One State Department official as well as two former Biden admin officials told Politico that the pause appears to stop aid to Ukraine, Jordan and Taiwan, while the report suggests that the guidance could open the US government to civil liability from lawsuits over unfulfilled contracts if the terms are deemed to have been violated, said the current and former officials. That said, the note from Rubio clearly states that decision need to be "consistent with the terms of the relevant award."
