Abstract
Abstract
The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women who are at increased risk for breast cancer and at low risk for adverse medication effects should be offered risk-reducing medications, such as tamoxifen or raloxifene, by their clinicians. In addition, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends risk counseling for women with a 5-year risk of ≥1.7% as calculated by the NCI-developed Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT, based on the Gail model) or other risk model. Thus, breast cancer risk assessment is important for the identification of women at "high risk" who should be offered risk counseling and potentially intervention. The Athena Breast Health Network, which has served >120,000 breast screening patients across California and the midwest, has integrated breast cancer risk assessment into its clinical breast screening programs. The goal of our study was to characterize breast cancer risk for >10,000 mammography patients in the University of California Irvine Athena Breast Health Network, overall and by race/ethnicity, using several different risk models, including the BCRAT, BCSC, and IBIS models. Our cohort was comprised of 47% non-Hispanic White, 13% non-Hispanic Asian, 38% Hispanic, and 2% women of other race/ethnicities. Using data collected from electronic medical records and self-completed questionnaires, we determined that, as expected, non-Hispanic White and Asian women had higher breast cancer risk scores than Hispanic women for all risk models (5-year risks = 1.51-1.68% and 1.22-1.40% vs. 0.95-1.05%, respectively). In addition, when women were categorized as "increased risk" according to a given risk model if their 5-year risk score was ≥1.7%, the percentages of women at "increased risk" were higher in White women (26.5–42.2%) than in Asian (15.8–28.6%) and Hispanic (6.2–10.7%) women. However, the correlations between risk models were low to moderate in our cohort, overall (Pearson's r = 0.47-0.62) and especially for Asian women (Pearson's r = 0.29-0.49). Our results indicate that using only one risk model in a clinical breast cancer risk assessment program to identify "high risk" women would miss a significant proportion of women who would have been considered "high risk" according to another risk model. Conversely, some women who are identified as "high risk" according to one model may not need risk counseling and intervention since they are not considered "high risk" according to two other models. As our cohort expands and incident breast cancers occur, we will be able to determine which risk model or combination of risk models will have the highest discriminatory accuracy for predicting breast cancer risk in women of different race/ethnicities, which will enable our risk assessment programs to have a more targeted approach to risk counseling and intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) is a surgical procedure that has been shown to have an antiarrhythmic and antifibrillatory effect. Evidence indicating its antiarrhythmic effect has been available for over 100 years. It involves the removal of the lower half of the stellate ganglion and T2-T4 of the sympathetic ganglia and is carried out as either a unilateral or bilateral procedure. With advancements in thoracic surgery, it can be safely performed via a minimally invasive Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) approach resulting in significantly less morbidity and a shortened inpatient stay. LCSD provides a valuable treatment option for patients with life-threatening channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. AIMS AND METHODS This case series reports the preliminary paediatric and adult experience in the Republic of Ireland with LCSD and describes five cases recently treated in addition to an outline of the operative procedure employed. Of the five cases included, two were paediatric cases and three were adult cases. RESULTS One of the paediatric patients had a diagnosis of the rare catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) and the other a diagnosis of long-QT syndrome. Both paediatric patients experienced excellent outcomes. Of the three adult patients, two benefitted greatly and remain well at follow-up (one inappropriate sinus tachycardia and one CPVT). One patient with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation unfortunately passed away from intractable VF despite all attempts at resuscitation. CONCLUSION In this case series, we highlight that LCSD provides a critical adjunct to existing medical therapies and should be considered for all patients with life-threatening refractory arrhythmias especially those patients on maximal medical therapy.

Abstract
Parasitic granulomatous eosinophilic inflammation was observed in the central nervous system (CNS) of a 6-month-old Arabian colt from New York state. Inflammation was associated with eggs, larvae, and adult nematodes in the cerebellum. Nematodes had histological characteristics of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea. The presence of dorsal-spined larvae in the CNS was further indicative of infection with a nematode in the family Protostrongylidae. Infections were most compatible with Parelaphostrongylus tenuis but specific diagnosis was not possible. This is the first definitive report of a protostrongylid nematode infection in a horse.

Abstract
Chondrocytes are the uniquely resident cells found in all types of cartilage and key to their function is the ability to respond to mechanical loads with changes of metabolic activity. This mechanotransduction property is, in part, mediated through the activity of a range of expressed transmembrane channels; ion channels, gap junction proteins, and porins. Appropriate expression of ion channels has been shown essential for production of extracellular matrix and differential expression of transmembrane channels is correlated to musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis and Albers-Schönberg. In this study we analyzed the consistency of gene expression between channelomes of chondrocytes from human articular and costal (teenage and fetal origin) cartilages. Notably, we found 14 ion channel genes commonly expressed between articular and both types of costal cartilage chondrocytes. There were several other ion channel genes expressed only in articular (6 genes) or costal chondrocytes (5 genes). Significant differences in expression of BEST1 and KCNJ2 (Kir2.1) were observed between fetal and teenage costal cartilage. Interestingly, the large Ca2+ activated potassium channel (BKα, or KCNMA1) was very highly expressed in all chondrocytes examined. Expression of the gap junction genes for Panx1, GJA1 (Cx43) and GJC1 (Cx45) was also observed in chondrocytes from all cartilage samples. Together, this data highlights similarities between chondrocyte membrane channel gene expressions in cells derived from different anatomical sites, and may imply that common electrophysiological signaling pathways underlie cellular control. The high expression of a range of mechanically and metabolically sensitive membrane channels suggest that chondrocyte mechanotransduction may be more complex than previously thought.

Abstract
There is no evidence supporting the use of de-escalation therapy (DET) among patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We assessed the outcomes associated with DET among bacteraemic CAP patients. We performed a secondary analysis of the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Organization database, which contains data on 660 bacteraemic patients hospitalized because of CAP in 35 countries (2001-2013). Exclusion criteria were death within 72 h from admission and an inappropriate empirical antibiotic regimen. DET was defined as changing an appropriate empirical broad-spectrum regimen to a narrower-spectrum regimen according to culture results within 7 days from hospital admission. Two study groups were identified: patients whose antibiotic therapy was de-escalated (the DET group), and patients whose antibiotic therapy was not de-escalated (the N-DET group). The primary study outcome was 30-day mortality. Two hundred and sixty-one bacteraemic CAP patients were included. Gram-positive bacteria were responsible for 88.1% of the cases (Streptococcus pneumoniae, 75.9%). Gram-negative bacteria were responsible for for 7.3% of the cases. DET was performed in 165 patients (63.2%). The N-DET group was characterized by a more severe presentation at admission. After adjustment for confounders, DET was not associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality. DET seems to be safe among bacteraemic patients with CAP. Randomized clinical trials are warranted to further explore these findings.

Abstract
A commercial diet fed to a colony of inbred strain 13 guinea pigs for approximately 6 weeks was subsequently recalled for excessive levels of vitamin D. Twenty-one of 62 animals exhibited clinical signs, including anorexia, lethargy, and poor body condition. Nine affected and 4 clinically normal animals were euthanized for further evaluation, including serum chemistry, urinalysis, and gross and/or histopathology. Macroscopic findings included white discoloration in multiple organs in 8 animals, and microscopic evaluation confirmed multiorgan mineralization in tissues from 7 animals. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were elevated in 10 animals. Serum inorganic phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were increased in all exposed animals; however, total calcium and ionized calcium levels were not significantly higher in exposed animals than in control strain 13 guinea pigs from a different institution. The data support a diagnosis of hypervitaminosis D with metastatic calcification. Following the diet recall, the remaining guinea pigs increased their food intake and regained body condition. Diagnostic testing of 8 animals euthanized approximately 3 months after returning to a normal diet demonstrated that serum parathyroid hormone remained significantly lower, and ionized calcium and ionized magnesium were significantly higher, in recovered animals compared to controls and exposed animals. These results indicate that diagnostic tests other than serum calcium are necessary for a diagnosis of hypervitaminosis D in guinea pigs.

Abstract
A 68-year-old lady with metastatic malignant melanoma was treated with Ipilimumab. She presented to Eye Casualty unable to move her eyes. Physical examination confirmed ophthalmoplegia and identified proptosis bilaterally. Radiological imaging showed bilateral enlargement of all the extra-ocular muscles suggestive of thyroid eye disease. Laboratory investigations found this patient to be euthyroid. A diagnosis of thyroid-like orbitopathy secondary to Ipilimumab therapy was made. Thyroid function tests should be performed for all patients prior to their commencement of Ipilimumab. Thyroid-like eye disease may develop in patients treated with Ipilimumab even if they remain euthyroid.
