Abstract
BACKGROUND: Internal maxillary artery (IMax)–middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass has been recently described as an alternative to cervical extracranial-intracranial bypass. This technique uses a “keyhole” craniectomy in the temporal fossa that requires a technically challenging end-to-side anastomosis. OBJECTIVE: To describe a lateral subtemporal craniectomy of the middle cranial fossa floor to facilitate wide exposure of the IMax to facilitate bypass. METHODS: Orbitozygomatic osteotomy is used followed by frontotemporal craniotomy and subsequently laterotemporal fossa craniectomy, reaching its medial border at a virtual line connecting the foramen rotundum and foramen ovale. The IMax was identified by using established anatomic landmarks, neuronavigation, and micro Doppler probe (Mizuho Inc. Tokyo, Japan). Additionally, we studied the approach in a cadaveric specimen in preparation for microsurgical bypass. RESULTS: There were 4 cases in which the technique was used. One bypass was performed for flow augmentation in a hypoperfused hemisphere. The other 3 were performed as part of treatment paradigms for giant middle cerebral artery aneurysms. Vein grafts were used in all patients. The proximal anastomosis was performed in an end-to-side fashion in 1 patient and end-to-end in 3 patients. Intraoperative graft flow measured with the Transonic flow probe ranged from 20 to 60 mL/min. Postoperative angiography demonstrated good filling of the graft with robust distal flow in all cases. All patients tolerated the procedure well. CONCLUSION: IMax to middle cerebral artery subcranial-intracranial bypass is safe and efficacious. The laterotemporal fossa craniectomy technique resulted in reliable identification and wide exposure of the IMax, facilitating the proximal anastomosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: HER3 is thought to play a prominent role in resistance to HER2-directed breast cancer therapies. Recent data suggest that HER3 levels also influence HER2-normal breast tumor biology. HER3 and PI3K signaling are linked in that in HER3 signaling activates PI3K and inhibition of PI3K activity can upregulate HER3 expression. Here, we measured quantitative HER3 protein expression levels and PIK3CA mutation status in matched tissues from the primary tumor and site of metastasis to assess correlations with time to recurrence.
Methods: 44 pairs (8 HER2+ by HERmark®) of matched tissues from the primary tumor and the site of metastasis were evaluated for HER3 protein expression using a sensitive, quantitative assay for HER3 protein expression in FFPE tissue sections (VeraTag®). Matched samples were also evaluated for quantitative HER2 expression (HERmark) and for PIK3CA mutations at exon 9 (E542K and E545K) and exon 20 (H1047R).
Results: HER3 protein expression at the metastatic site was largely independent of HER3 levels at the primary site (Spearman p = 0.50) in contrast to HER2 expression (Spearman p = 0.0004). HER3 expression in the primary tumor correlated with time to recurrence (TTR) (HR = 2.0 per 2-fold increase in HER3; p < 0.0001). Conversely, HER3 expression measured at the site of metastasis was not correlated with TTR (p = 0.55). Estrogen receptor negative tumors were less likely to have PIK3CA mutations (p = 0.023). In cases of primary tumors with PIK3CA mutations, no reversions to wild-type PIK3CA were observed in the metastatic sites. In metastatic tumors, mutations detected in the primary tumor as well as new mutations were observed. A gain of an exon 9 mutation at the metastatic site correlated with shorter TTR (HR = 2.5; p = 0.043). Excluding the 8 samples that were HER2+ by HERmark, longer TTR was observed for patients with PIK3CA mutations in the primary tumor (HR = 0.47; p = 0.042), which is consistent with previous reports. Interestingly, the longer TTR for those with PIK3CA mutations appeared to be dependent on quantitative HER3 protein level (interaction p = 0.065).
Conclusions: HER3 protein expression in matched primary and metastatic breast cancer tissues were unrelated. This may indicate that HER3 protein is influenced by the different tumor microenvironments of the primary and metastatic sites. PIK3CA mutations were either maintained or acquired at metastatic sites. Both low HER3 protein expression and the presence of PIK3CA mutations in the primary tumor but not the metastatic tumor were associated with longer TTR. These observations suggest that HER3 protein expression may be an important prognostic factor for breast cancer progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians meet a variety of ethnicities among patients and families in hospice programs. This article focuses on Latino families. METHODS Within a controlled trial of family therapy in the context of palliative care, 17 families identified as Hispanic. Five were examined qualitatively herein. RESULTS A synopsis of each family's narrative is presented here. Patterns of strong family loyalty (Familismo), the gender roles of Machismo and Marianismo, the importance of family tradition, expectations about caregiving, and the place of faith and religion emerged as prominent and able potentially to impact on the therapy. CONCLUSIONS Family therapists need to be thoughtful about cultural issues as they strive to support families.

Abstract
Most industrial projects require a team of engineers from a variety of disciplines. The team members are often culturally diverse and geographically dispersed. Many students do not acquire sufficient skills from typical university courses to function efficiently in such an environment. The Global Engineering Teams (GET) programme was designed to prepare students such a scenario in industry. This paper discusses five biomedical engineering themed projects completed by GET students. The benefits and success of the programme in educating students in the field of biomedical engineering are discussed.
