Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare, and usually managed by extrapolation from female breast cancer. We report on the characteristics and survival outcomes of MBC patients from Mayo Clinic Rochester (MCR).
Methods:
Medical records of MBC patients treated at MCR during a 25-year period (1990-2015) were reviewed. Demographic variables, tumor characteristics, recurrences, and overall survival (OS) were collected. Progression free survival (PFS) and OS were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox-proportional hazard regression was used to identify predictors of OS.
Results:
One hundred sixty-seven patients were included in the final analysis, with a median follow-up of 58 months after diagnosis. Baseline characteristics are presented in Table 1. Eighty percent of patients with ER-positive tumors received endocrine therapy. Among men with stage I-III disease, approximately 90% underwent mastectomy, and 44% received adjuvant chemotherapy.
The 5-year locoregional and distant recurrence rates for patients with stage I-III disease were 4.4% and 21.5%, respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS for patients with stage I-III disease were 65.5% and 80.1%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis assessing predictors of OS in patients with stage I-III disease, older age (HR 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02 – 1.09), stage II (HR 11.06; 95% CI: 3.84 – 31.85) or stage III disease (HR 14.74; 95% CI (3.99 – 54.45), and omission of surgery (HR 45.33; 95% CI: 3.97 – 517.32) were associated with poorer OS, while endocrine therapy (HR 0.21, 95% CI: 0.09 – 0.51) was associated with better OS. ER, PR, HER2 and grade were not independently prognostic.
The median OS for stage IV patients was 10 months, though this 11-man cohort was too small to allow assessment of prognostic factors in advanced male breast cancer.
Conclusions:
MBC remains an understudied condition. Prognostic factors in this stage I-III disease are consistent with those identified in other MBC retrospective cohorts. Prospective studies are needed to better understand the unique clinical features of MBC, and to improve outcomes, particularly for advanced disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Germline mutations in Breast Cancer Associated (BRCA) 1 or 2 genes confer an increased risk of the development of breast and ovarian cancer. Germline mutation is followed by somatic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) resulting in biallelic inactivation. BRCA1 is involved in multiple homeostatic functions including control of chromatin organization, gene transcription, protein stability and cell division. Recent studies have demonstrated heterogeneity in LOH within and between premalignant and malignant breast tissues of BRCA1 mutation carriers. We hypothesize that LOH does not have a unitary effect on phenotype but differs by the function that is abrogated.
Methods: To test our hypothesis, we adopted CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. The guide RNAs for targeting the exon sequence in the RING finger, nuclear export signal (NES), nuclear localization signal (NLS) and BRCA1 C Terminus (BRCT) domain/motif of BRCA1 were designed and synthesized. MCF10A cells were transfected with a complex of guide RNA and Cas9 protein (RNP) to cause in/del mutation. The mutation was analyzed by both T7E1 assay, and an innovative and more precise method developed in our lab that utilizes linked nucleic acids (LNA) and qPCR. Proliferation and apoptosis assays were performed using the transfected cells. Organoids prepared from BRCA1 mutation carriers also were transfected with RNPs and the mutation burden determined.
Results: Since single cell clones of the transfected MCF10A cells could not be selected and expanded, a pool of transfected cells was used for the analyses. T7E1 assay and qPCR analysis using LNAs demonstrated the presence of the mutations. A standard curve was created to enable the calculation of the mutation burden. IncuCyte analysis revealed increased proliferation and apoptosis, induced by irradiation, in cells with the mutation in Exon 10, where the extent of increase varied from 11% to 48% depending on the degree of mutation. In contrast, cells with the mutation in Exon 5 displayed diminished proliferation with no change in apoptosis. That mutations in exon10 and 5 have distinct biological effects when compared to the mutations in other exons is intriguing, and modification of binding proteins will be investigated. Organoids generated from BRCA1 mutation carriers (primary and nonmalignant cells) were able to be successfully transfected using the NEON electroporation system. Mutations were introduced by the CRISPR-Cas9 system and their extent quantified by our LNA-mediated qPCR method.
Conclusions: CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing of BRCA1 in MCF10A resulted in a change in the proliferation rate and the extent of apoptosis that is dependent on the location of the de novo mutation within the gene. The development of a novel method, LNA-mediated qPCR, provides quantitative information regarding the mutations that may be used to correlate mutation burden with biological functional change. Successful establishment of this BRCA1 tumorigenesis model has provided us with a method to test other putative tumor suppressors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
There are no targeted pharmacologic interventions currently available for the prevention of hormone receptor negative breast cancer. Primary prevention with endocrine agents decreases the risk of ER positive disease with no effect against ER negative (ER-) disease. Thus, there is a compelling need to identify women at high risk for ER-negative breast cancer and to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved in its genesis. Our recent observation that a set of lipid metabolism (LiMe) genes are over-expressed in the contralateral unaffected breasts of women with unilateral ER- breast cancer suggests the novel hypothesis that specific lipid metabolism pathways in the breast produce a physiological milieu favoring the development of ER- breast cancer. We are now testing the specific hypothesis that lipids are the source of the acetyl-coA that is utilized to acetylate histones, an epigenetic modification that reprograms transcription.
Methods:
We developed an in-vitro model that relies on octanoic acid, a medium chain fatty acid that freely diffuses though the plasma and mitochondrial membranes. MCF-10A cells were plated and allowed to adhere overnight and then exposed to an increasing dose of sodium octanoate for 24 hours in complete media. Acetylation of Lysine 9 of Histone 3 (H3K9) was analyzed by Western blot and RNA was extracted for qPCR and RNA-seq. Chromatin packing density at the nanoscale was quantified bypartial wave spectroscopic (PWS) microscopy. Mammary organoids were prepared from breast tissue by collagenase digestion and similarly treated.
Results:
We found a striking, dose-dependent increase of H3K9 acetylation in octanoate treated MCF-10A cells. The acetylation is specific to the lipids as no acetylation was observed in cells treated with the same concentration of the alcohol 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol. RNA-Seq revealed the differential expression of LiMe genes together with a significant upregulation of Hedgehog and Notch signaling pathways. Individual genes from various pathways were further verified by qPCR which revealed, for example, a four-fold increase in SHH expression and 25-fold increase in DLL4. The expression of two of the previously identified LiMe genes, HMGCS2 and ACSL3, was increased four-fold in the octanoate treated MCF10A cells. We repeated the octanoate treatment in organoids and found similar effects. PWS in live cells showed a dose-dependent increase in chromatin packing scaling (D) in cells exposed to octanoate, suggesting that accessibility of chromatin to transcription factors is increased upon fatty acid treatment.
Conclusion:
A lipid rich microenvironment affects metabolism in ER- MCF10A cells and stimulates pro-neoplastic signaling via histone modifications. This supports our hypothesis that perturbed lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of ER- breast cancer. Further mechanistic studies will determine if the genes differentially expressed in cell culture are also differentially expressed in antecedent benign breast biopsies from women eventually diagnosed with ER+ and ER- cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Variation of the ulnar artery in the upper limb is uncommon. The existence of such a variant is of particular clinical significance, as these arteries are more susceptible to trauma, and can be easily confused with superficial veins during medical and surgical procedures, potentially leading to iatrogenic distal limb ischemia. Case report: During routine dissection we observed a unilateral case of superficial ulnar artery in a 60-year-old male cadaver. It originated from the left brachial artery in the middle of the arm, near to insertion of coracobrachialis muscle. From its origin, it passed downwards in the medial part of arm behind the median nerve and forearm in a supericial plane compared to normal ulnar artery. In the hand, the supericial ulnar artery anastomosed with the palmar branch of the radial artery, creating the supericial palmar arch. Brachial artery divided into the radial and common interosseous arteries in the cubital fossa. The normal ulnar artery was absent. The existence of superficial ulnar artery is undeniably of interest to the clinicians as well as to the anatomists.

Abstract
Background and aim: One of the active combustion product of cigarette smoke, Benzo[a]pyrenes, role in pulmonary cancer is clearly understood. However, its role in gastrointestinal cancer including colon cancer is not clearly understood. Methods: In this study, benzo(a)pyrenes was treated to colon cells to evaluate its role in cell viability, cellular ROS, and gene expression of various PLA2 isoforms was evaluated by FACS and PCR. The identified PLA2 was silenced at the gene level to evaluate its role in cell viability and ROS generation. Results: B(a)P treatment at 1 µg/mL for 48 h to HCT-15 male colon cells significantly reduced the cell viability without affecting HT-29 female colon cells. Higher doses and longer treatment duration with B(a)P showed that female colon cells were highly sensitive than male colon cells. Annexin-V/PI staining for preapoptotic detection showed that B(a)P treatment increased the apoptosis in both the cell types in a concentration and time-dependent manner. The cytosolic ROS (cROS) and superoxide radical (SOR) formation in the female colon cells was significantly higher than male colon cells unlike the mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production which was significantly higher in male colon cells. Treatment with B(a)P significantly upregulated the IID and IVA PLA2 isoform groups in HCT-15 male colon cells, whereas IB was upregulated in HT-29 female colon cells among the various PLA2 isozyme gene studied (IB, IID, III, IVA, IVB, IVC, VI, X, aiPLA2 and iPLA2). Gene silencing experiments targeting PLA2 IID and IVA in the HCT-15 male colon cells and IB in HT-29 female colon cells showed no effect with B(a)P treatment on the cell proliferation, apoptosis, membrane integrity and free radicals (ROS, mtROS, and SOR) generation. Conclusion: Targeting specific PLA2 isozymes in a cell-specific manner abolished the B(a)P-induced PLA2-mediated oxidative damage–related signaling pathways.

Abstract
Background and context: Over the next decades, cancer burden is expected to reach 20 million new cases annually in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by 2025. The rate of incidence of thyroid cancer has increased more than any other cancer worldwide. In the United States has seen >300% increase within the past 30 years and few estimates suggest that thyroid cancer could become the third most common cancer diagnosed in women by 2019. Health care services therefore need to gear up to provide close clinical follow-up care for people both in primary and specialist care. Information and communication technologies may enable more integrated treatment and care pathways across geographical boundaries. Though, hospital-based telemedicine system has been proved to be effective in carrying out continuity of care after primary treatment is over, current usage of social media in such situations are not studied well. The social media–based remote monitoring can be done at leisure, convenient to both patients and treating surgeons and does not require costly hospital infrastructure. Aim: We conducted this study to assess the effect of remote monitoring using tele–follow-up on compliance, satisfaction and economic benefit. Strategy/Tactics: Use of social media tools to empower patients on regular follow-up. Program/Policy process: Remote monitoring using social media. Outcomes: A total of 67 postoperative patients were followed up using social media tools. A total of 248 tele-sessions were held. The average number of tele-consultation per patient was 3.7 (range 2-6). The reasons for tele–follow-up were: confirmation of histology report (n = 62), medication dosage adjustments (n = 58), wound evaluation (n = 42), reporting of S. TSH and S. calcium levels (n = 128) and medical fitness certificate (n = 3). Wound evaluation through tele–follow-up was on par with OPD follow-up as no patient had to report to OPD for wound infection. Satisfaction level was excellent in 55% of patients and very good in 25%. 20% of the patients said that satisfaction level was average. If all of these 67 patients would have come to our OPD follow-up, they would have traveled 830 km per patient on an average, apart from losing work hours. Average cost and work days saving per visit was $78 and 5.4 days respectively. Compliance was good as all patients reported on the date and time of appointment. The technique ensures satisfactory follow-up. What was learned: Low- and middle-income countries need an eHealth revolution using this type of technology to achieve the goal of health for all as availability of health care facilities is a problem in such geographical locations in addition to lack of human resources as compared with patients needing healthcare.

Abstract
Corticosteroids form the mainstay of therapy for all forms of nephrotic syndrome. The long-term use of this medication is associated with serious side effects including adrenocortical suppression. The primary objective of this study was to identify adrenocortical suppression (assessed by single morning serum cortisol levels) in children with nephrotic syndrome on treatment with low-dose alternate day steroids. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics in a tertiary care hospital from January 2014 to January 2015. Seventy children (1–18 years) with nephrotic syndrome (steroid sensitive and resistant) who were in remission and on low-dose alternate day steroids for at least 8 weeks or had received steroids of 2 mg/kg/d for at least 2 weeks in the last 1 year (infrequent relapsers) were enrolled. Relevant history was taken, clinical examination was done and blood samples were drawn for serum cortisol, lipid profile, kidney function tests, fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and serum albumin. Forty percent (28/70) children had adrenocortical suppression as assessed by low morning serum cortisol levels. The mean serum cortisol levels were 188 nmol/L and were significantly lower in frequently relapsing individuals (85.9 nmol/L) as compared to other types of nephrotic syndrome (P = 0.05). The prevalence of adrenocortical suppression was higher in steroid-resistant patients (57%) as compared to 28% in frequently relapsing and 11% in steroid-dependent patients. Fifty-seven percent of patients with adrenocortical suppression had short stature while 50% had obesity. All individuals had normal serum HbA1c levels. The cumulative steroid doses and total duration of corticosteroid therapy were significantly higher in patients with adrenocortical suppression. Children with nephrotic syndrome treated with low-dose alternate day steroids have a high prevalence of adrenocortical suppression on screening with single morning cortisol sample. Those with frequently relapsing or steroid-resistant diseases are at a higher risk of suppression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH [1-34]) on the mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) and subchondral bone in adult female mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two, 20-week-old female mice were used for in vivo experiments. The experimental mice (n=11) received daily intraperitoneal injections of PTH [1-34] for 3 weeks, while control mice (n=11) received intraperitoneal injections of 0.9% saline solution. Mice were euthanized and then micro-computed tomography (micro-CT); histology and immunostaining were carried out to assess the response. RESULTS Intermittent PTH [1-34] led to early MCC breakdown and surface irregularities. Micro-CT analyses indicated that PTH [1-34] treatment led to increased bone volume fraction, tissue density and trabecular thickness, while decreasing the trabecular spacing. Histological analyses showed decreased proteoglycan secretion, increased bone turnover (TRAP staining) and increased mineralization. Furthermore, PTH [1-34] treatment showed increased apoptosis of the cells. Our immunohistochemistry showed increased expression of pSMAD158 in the MCC and subchondral bone with PTH administration, whereas sclerostin (SOST) expression was decreased. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent PTH [1-34] results in early mineralization of the MCC, which may result in cartilage degeneration. Our results identified a novel mechanism by which PTH [1-34] induces alteration in the microarchitecture of the MCC and the subchondral bone.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Germline mutations in CHEK2, a cell-cycle checkpoint kinase, are associated with increased susceptibility to breast, colon, and other cancers. The clinical characteristics and cancer risks of patients with CHEK2 mutations is under investigation.
Methods: Patients identified with a pathogenic germline CHEK2 mutation between September 2013 and April 2017 were evaluated. Clinical multigene panel testing using next generation sequencing technologies was utilized. All patients received comprehensive pre- and post-test genetic counseling. Genetic testing results, demographics, tumor characteristics and outcomes were analyzed.
Results: A total of 107 CHEK2 mutation carriers were identified, of whom 88 (82%) were females. The vast majority were Caucasian (99%), and of those, 17 (16%) had Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The median age at time of genetic testing was 52 (range: 22-89). The most common mutations identified were: I157T (28%), c.1100delC (27%), p.S428F (15%) and c.1427C>T (9%). Seven of these patients (7%) were found to carry a second pathogenic cancer risk mutation: BRCA, ATM, NBN, NF1, and MUTYH. One patient was found to carry 3 pathogenic mutations (1100delC, ATM, and BRCA). Sixty-three (59%) patients had a prior diagnosis of malignancy, with a mean age of diagnosis of 53. Of the 88 females, the most common type of malignancy was breast cancer (55%), with a mean age of diagnosis of 52 (range: 35-79). Of the 19 males, breast cancer was seen in 4 patients. The most common known histopathology was invasive ductal carcinoma (72%), followed by DCIS (15%), invasive lobular carcinoma (9%), and papillary carcinoma (4%). Majority of the patients had breast tumors with low or moderate grade (62%), less than two centimeters (61%), node negative (70%), and estrogen/progesterone receptor positive/HER2neu negative (96%). Two patients had triple negative breast cancers. Of the 48 female mutation carriers with breast cancer, 38% underwent bilateral mastectomy. The 1- and 5-year survival was 100% with a median follow up of 57 months. Five of the 48 females developed a contralateral breast cancer, with a median time to contralateral recurrence of 6 years (range: 3-17). Two patients developed in-breast tumor recurrence at 9 and 19 years, respectively. Other cancers observed were papillary thyroid cancer (3 patients), melanoma (2 patients), and prostate (2 patients). One patient developed angiosarcoma of the chest wall two years after radiation therapy.
Conclusion: Our study describes the unique clinical characteristics of CHEK2 mutation carriers in a US-based clinic at Beaumont Health. Majority of breast cancers were early stage, hormone receptor positive and demonstrated excellent outcomes. Despite the early stage, a significant proportion of patients underwent bilateral mastectomy. Additional pathogenic mutations were identified in 10% of patients; validating the importance of panel testing in assessing cancer risk. Future studies are needed to better define the clinical presentation, cancer risks, mutational spectrum, and outcomes of CHEK2 mutation carriers in order to provide tailored screening and management guidelines for this emerging population.

Abstract
Background RECORD-3 compared everolimus and sunitinib as first-line therapy, and the sequence of everolimus followed by sunitinib at progression compared with the opposite (standard) sequence in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This final overall survival (OS) analysis evaluated mature data for secondary end points. Patients and methods Patients received either first-line everolimus followed by second-line sunitinib at progression (n = 238) or first-line sunitinib followed by second-line everolimus (n = 233). Secondary end points were combined first- and second-line progression-free survival (PFS), OS, and safety. The impacts of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and baseline levels of soluble biomarkers on OS were explored. Results At final analysis, median duration of exposure was 5.6 months for everolimus and 8.3 months for sunitinib. Median combined PFS was 21.7 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 15.1–26.7] with everolimus-sunitinib and 22.2 months (95% CI 16.0–29.8) with sunitinib-everolimus [hazard ratio (HR)EVE-SUN/SUN-EVE, 1.2; 95% CI 0.9–1.6]. Median OS was 22.4 months (95% CI 18.6–33.3) for everolimus-sunitinib and 29.5 months (95% CI 22.8–33.1) for sunitinib-everolimus (HREVE-SUN/SUN-EVE, 1.1; 95% CI 0.9–1.4). The rates of grade 3 and 4 adverse events suspected to be related to second-line therapy were 47% with everolimus and 57% with sunitinib. Higher NLR and 12 soluble biomarker levels were identified as prognostic markers for poor OS with the association being largely independent of treatment sequences. Conclusions Results of this final OS analysis support the sequence of sunitinib followed by everolimus at progression in patients with mRCC. The safety profiles of everolimus and sunitinib were consistent with those previously reported, and there were no unexpected safety signals.

Abstract
This study was carried out to look for diagnostic and prognostic role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetes individuals. NGAL was measured in both urinary and serum sample of 144 type 2 diabetes individuals stratified into three categories based on urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and 54 control populations with estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum creatinine <1.2 mg/dl. The serum NGAL (sNGAL), urine NGAL (uNGAL), and uNGAL/urine creatinine were significantly higher in diabetic individuals than in the control populations with significant difference in between the groups (P < 0.05). Difference of above values between control value and normoalbuminuria was also statistically significant (P < 0.05). Again, sNGAL and uNGAL correlate positively with albuminuria (P < 0.05). Tubular injury may precede glomerular injury in diabetic individuals, and NGAL can be used as a biomarker to diagnose DN even earlier to incipient nephropathy. Both sNGAL and uNGAL can predict albuminuria and be used as a noninvasive tool for diagnosis, staging, and progression of DN.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the overwhelming evidence that targeted therapy is better than chemotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer. The focus is on lung cancer because of the sheer magnitude of this disease especially in males. In India, lung cancer constitutes 6.9 per cent of all new cancer cases and 9.3 per cent of all cancer related deaths in both sexes (1). Currently the world we reside has a norm of developing cure to an abnormal state of living body (so called disease) based on evidences, recognized during the diagnosis of the disease. It is done to ensure optimized therapy of treatment and maximize the outcome. Personalized medicine is also an uprising norm. In this kind, all the variables such as host, environment, patient, etc. are considered for an individual case and the course of treatment is followed based on the standard options available. Its main objective is the best interest of the patient. Through a survey conducted in the northern belt of the country we tried to determine the biomarkers currently being used and the scope of targeted therapy. Thus, in its most basic form medicine is not only a science but is also an art.

Abstract
Using solid-state fermentation, production of an industrially important pectin lyase from a fungal strain Fusarium oxysporum MTCC 1755 was attempted, which was further subjected to purification and characterization. The enzyme was purified by three steps, namely ammonium sulfate fractionation, cation-exchange chromatography on CM cellulose followed by gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G-100 column. A 16-fold purification with 31.2% yield and 3.2 U/mg specific activity was achieved. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was 9.0 and stability ranged from pH 5.0-7.0 for 24 h. Optimum temperature of purified enzyme was found to be 40 °C while temperature stability ranged from 10 to 50 °C for 30 min. The K m and k cat of the enzyme was 1.75 mg/ml and 83.3 s-1, respectively. The purified enzyme was found to be highly stimulated by Ca2+ ions while sugars like mannitol and sorbitol, and salts like NaCl and CaCl2 enhanced the thermostability. The purified pectin lyase was found suitable for retting of Crotolaria juncea fiber.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The clinical presentation and outcome of synchronous bilateral invasive breast cancer compared to unilateral breast cancer is not well studied. In this study, we present a population based comparison of tumor characteristics and survival between invasive unilateral and bilateral breast cancer.
Methods: Data from National Cancer Institute- Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) was analyzed to identify women who had a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (ICD-O-3: 8500/3) between the years 2000 and 2013. Women who were diagnosed with an invasive contralateral breast cancer within two months of initial diagnosis were classified under synchronous bilateral breast cancer group. Women who developed a contralateral breast cancer between three to twelve months of diagnosis were excluded. All women who did not develop a second breast cancer, or developed it after twelve months of initial diagnosis were classified under unilateral breast cancer group. Patients with an in-situ breast cancer diagnosis in the contralateral breast within twelve months of diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma were excluded. Patients with metastatic disease and unknown stage at presentation were excluded. Tumor characteristics and survival were compared between the two groups using the index case only. Mann-Whitney U test was used for continuous variables while Chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to compare survival. All data analysis was performed using SPSS 21.
Results: A total of 414,766 patients met our inclusion criteria. Of these, 3,590 patients were in the synchronous bilateral breast cancer group, while 411,176 were in the unilateral breast cancer group. Compared to unilateral breast cancer patients, bilateral breast cancer patients were slightly older (62 Vs 59, p<0.05) and were more likely to have higher T, N or overall stage at presentation. Their tumors were also more likely to be estrogen or progesterone receptor positive (p<0.05). Patients with bilateral breast cancer also had higher rates of mastectomy (63.3% Vs 39.1%, p<0.05).
Patients with bilateral breast cancers had a significantly worse survival compared to patients with unilateral breast cancer (Table 1). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusting for age at diagnosis, T-Stage, N-Stage, overall stage, hormone receptor status, type of surgical treatment and radiation therapy, bilateral breast cancers had a mortality hazard ratio of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.35 – 1.62, p<0.001) compared to unilateral breast cancers.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that bilateral breast cancer has a worse prognosis compared to invasive unilateral breast cancer. These findings have important implications for patients, and contribute to our understanding of the unique outcomes of bilateral breast cancer which will guide treatment and follow up.

Abstract
A 30-year-old female was symptomatic with headache, fatigue, and weakness since October 2011 and was told to have anemia. In January 2012, she was admitted outside with pulmonary edema. Investigations revealed advanced azotemia, anemia, and hypercalcemia. Urine showed 2 + proteins and 30–35 red blood cells. There was no history of oral ulcers, rash, Raynaud's phenomenon, or hemoptysis. She was evaluated for causes of rapidly progressive “renal failure.” Hemolytic work-up; antinuclear antibody, double-stranded DNA, and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody were negative. Kidney biopsy was done and interpreted as acute interstitial nephritis with hyaline casts. She was started on hemodialysis and treated with steroids and cyclophosphamide. She came to our institute in January 2012. Investigations showed evidence of paraproteinemia with kappa restriction. Bone marrow showed 15% plasma cells. Kidney biopsy was reviewed and was diagnostic of cast nephropathy. She was treated with 6 monthly cycles of dexamethasone and bortezomib. She achieved complete remission in July 2012. Maintenance doses of bortezomib were continued until May 2014. Autologous bone marrow transplantation was performed on June 06, 2014. Monthly, bortezomib was continued till April 2015. Subsequently, workup for renal transplantation was started with her father as her donor. Test for sensitization was negative. Renal transplantation was done on January 1, 2016, with prednisolone, mycophenolate, and tacrolimus. She achieved a serum creatinine of 0.6 mg% on the 4th postoperative day. Thereafter, she continues to remain stable.

Abstract
Aims: To study attendance of antenatal care services during present pregnancy by pregnant women coming for delivery in a teaching hospital of Kathmandu and to analyze the impact of educational status, age group, gravida (number of pregnancy) and occupation of the women on antenatal care service utilization.Methods: Uncomplicated, term pregnant women who came for delivery in labour or for induction of labour or elective cesarean section were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaire.Results: Six hundred and four pregnant women were studied. Antenatal care coverage in studied population was found to be 94.8% with adequate (four) antenatal care visits in 83.4%. Women belonged to 20 to 30 years of age group and higher education status had higher rate of antenatal care attendance where as women who belonged to labor class (daily earner) had significantly lower rate of adequate antenatal care attendance. Number of pregnancy (gravida) of the women did not show association with rate of antenatal care attendance.Conclusions: Over all antenatal care attendance in this study is very high. Women of 20 to 30 years of age and higher education status had positive effect on antenatal care attendance, where as women who were daily earner or labour had higher rate of failure to attend antenatal care visits.

Abstract
A design for a unique artificial-hair-cell-type sensor (AHCTS) based entirely on 3D-structured, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles is introduced. Standard microfabrication techniques were used for the straightforward micro-nano integration of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays composed of low-layer multi-walled CNTs (two to six layers). The mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube bundles were intensively characterized with regard to various substrates and CNT morphology, e.g. bundle height. The CNT bundles display excellent flexibility and mechanical stability for lateral bending, showing high tear resistance. The integrated 3D CNT sensor can detect three-dimensional forces using the deflection or compression of a central CNT bundle which changes the contact resistance to the shorter neighboring bundles. The complete sensor system can be fabricated using a single chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process step. Moreover, sophisticated external contacts to the surroundings are not necessary for signal detection. No additional sensors or external bias for signal detection are required. This simplifies the miniaturization and the integration of these nanostructures for future microsystem set-ups. The new nanostructured sensor system exhibits an average sensitivity of 2100 ppm in the linear regime with the relative resistance change per micron (ppm μm(-1)) of the individual CNT bundle tip deflection. Furthermore, experiments have shown highly sensitive piezoresistive behavior with an electrical resistance decrease of up to ∼11% at 50 μm mechanical deflection. The detection sensitivity is as low as 1 μm of deflection, and thus highly comparable with the tactile hair sensors of insects, having typical thresholds on the order of 30-50 μm. The AHCTS can easily be adapted and applied as a flow, tactile or acceleration sensor as well as a vibration sensor. Potential applications of the latter might come up in artificial cochlear systems. In particular, the stable mechanical bending of the sensor up to 90° opens up unique application opportunities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying children with febrile seizure who are at risk for recurrence is important so that special attention can be given to them. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for recurrence of febrile seizures in children. METHODS This prospective hospital based study was conducted from July 2013 to August 2014 'among children of 6 months to 6 years of age at Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Nepal. Children meeting the selection criteria were enrolled in study. Clinical, investigation, treatment and outcome parameters were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 92 children with febrile seizure were enrolled in study. Males accounted for 70% and females 30%. Simple febrile seizure was present in 48% and complex febrile seizures were seen in 52%. Recurrence of seizure was seen in one third of cases. Loss of consciousness was most common post-ictal phenomenon followed by confusion and lethargy. Upper respiratory infection was the most common precipitating factor. Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizure was the most common seizure type present in 79% of cases. Significant risk factors for recurrence occurred in males (p=0.088), age less than 1 year (p=0.003). Most of the recurrence occurred within one year of first seizure. CONCLUSIONS Febrile Seizure is common in males. Almost one third of children with febrile seizure are at risk for recurrence. The significant risk factors for recurrences are male gender and age <1year.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Multi-gene panels are widely available for assessing hereditary cancer risk in high risk individuals. Due to the use of these panels, many genetic mutations other than BRCA 1 or 2 can be detected which can potentially affect management. This study presents the results of multi-gene panel testing performed at Beaumont Health System.
Methods:All patients who underwent multi-gene panel testing at Beaumont Health System between November 1, 2012 and January 15, 2015 were included in this study. This cohort consisted of patients who met criteria for genetic testing due to personal or family history. All patients received comprehensive pre and post-test genetic counseling. The panels ranged from 5 to 43 genes associated with risk for breast and other cancers.
Results: 653 multi-gene panel tests were performed. The majority of these consisted of either a 5 gene high risk breast panel (25%), an 18 gene moderate to high risk breast panel (21%), or a 9 gene high risk breast and gynecologic panel (17%). 184 variants of undetermined significance (VUS) were identified with a pooled VUS rate of 28%. Among the commonly used panels, there was a positive correlation between VUS rate and the number of genes included in the panel (r = 0.86, p = 0.01, Range 6% to 70%). A pathogenic mutation was identified in one or more genes in 65 (10%) panels for a total of 67 mutations. Of these, 17 mutations were in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Fifty non-BRCA deleterious mutations were identified with the following frequencies: CHEK2(12), MUTYH(7 monoallelic, 1 biallelic), TP53(4), PTEN(4), ATM(4), MSH6(3), PALB2(3), MSH2(2), CDH1(2), APC(2), NF1(2), BARD1(2), MLH1(1) and PMS2(1). Of these non-BRCA mutations, 41(82%) had a significant impact on management.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that multi-gene panel testing identifies several genes that can impact management and would likely not have been discovered by pedigree analysis alone. However, this added detection is associated with a higher VUS rate, especially using larger panels. Further research is needed to better define the role of multi-gene panel testing in high risk patients, with a focus on choosing appropriate genes, understanding the magnitude of cancer risk and delineating impact on management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The generation of transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) has greatly aided our understanding of the development of connective tissues such as bone and cartilage. Perturbation of a biological system such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) within its adaptive remodeling capacity is particularly useful in analyzing cellular lineage progression. The objectives of this study were to determine: (i) if GFP reporters expressed in the TMJ indicate the different stages of cell maturation in fibrocartilage and (ii) how mechanical loading affects cellular response in different regions of the cartilage. DESIGN/METHODS Four-week-old transgenic mice harboring combinations of fluorescent reporters (Dkk3-eGFP, Col1a1(3.6 kb)-GFPcyan, Col1a1(3.6 kb)-GFPtpz, Col2a1-GFPcyan, and Col10a1-RFPcherry) were used to analyze the expression pattern of transgenes in the mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC). To study the effect of TMJ loading, animals were subjected to forced mouth opening with custom springs exerting 50 g force for 1 h/day for 5 days. Dynamic mineralization and cellular proliferation (EdU-labeling) were assessed in loaded vs control mice. RESULTS Dkk3 expression was seen in the superficial zone of the MCC, followed by Col1 in the cartilage zone, Col2 in the prehypertrophic zone, and Col10 in the hypertrophic zone at and below the tidemark. TMJ loading increased expression of the GFP reporters and EdU-labeling of cells in the cartilage, resulting in a thickness increase of all layers of the cartilage. In addition, mineral apposition increased resulting in Col10 expression by unmineralized cells above the tidemark. CONCLUSION The TMJ responded to static loading by forming thicker cartilage through adaptive remodeling.

Abstract
Initially in the Indus-2 storage ring, the closed orbit distortion (COD) could be best corrected to 1.3 mm rms in the horizontal and 0.43 mm rms in the vertical plane. The strength of the corrector magnets required high values for COD correction. This revealed that offsets in COD readout by the beam position monitors (BPMs) played a role in not achieving a rms COD lower than the above value. Thus, the offset between the electrical center of BPMs and the magnetic center of the nearest quadrupole magnet could be estimated using the beam based alignment (BBA) method. It prefers that the quadrupole magnet is able to be controlled individually and active shunt power supply (ASPS) system was designed for this purpose that works efficiently. This paper describes the methodology of BBA, topology of ASPS and its performance, and COD minimization using the measured BPM offsets. After BBA, the COD could be reduced to 0.45 mm rms and 0.2 mm rms in horizontal and vertical planes, respectively.
