Intraoperative motive for incomplete resection in primary retroperitoneal sarcoma. Prog Urol 2023; 33:1026-1032. [PMID: 37858378 DOI: 10.1016/j.purol.2023.09.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical resection is the current standard of care for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). Recent data suggests that up to 5% of patient have incomplete (R2) resection. The exact reason why patients scheduled for surgery with a curative intent to treat ended up with an R2 resection is largely unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY To identify intraoperative findings responsible for incomplete (R2) resection in primary RPS. METHODS All records of consecutive patients scheduled for a non-metastatic primary RPS surgery between 1995 and 2020 in a tertiary care sarcoma centre were retrospective analyzed. RESULTS Among the 347 patients scheduled for surgery, 13 (3.7%) had an incomplete (R2) resection. The reasons for incomplete surgery were intraoperative finding of vascular involvement of great vessels in 5 patients, previously undetected peritoneal metastases in 5 patients, invasion of contralateral kidney/ureter in 2 patients and the need to preserve both kidneys in 1 patient because of his past medical history. Among these patients, 3 had a laparotomy without resection and 10 had a partial resection (i.e. debulking surgery). Severe postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients. The median length of stay in hospital was 19days. After a median follow-up of 12months, the median survival of patients after incomplete resection was 18months. The 1-y, 5-y and 8-y overall survival (OS) for these patients were 46%, 14%, and 7%, respectively. CONCLUSION Incomplete (R2) resection for a primary RPS surgery is rare in specialized sarcoma center. The next steps should be to identify the preoperative criteria that lead to this accurate selection and to define the best practice in front of a peroperative discovery of an unresectable RPS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted clinical practice, research and teaching. During peaks, virtual courses were implemented but these changes are poorly described, especially for oncology postgraduate students and faculty teachers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We administered two surveys from June 2021 to October 2021 to students and faculty teachers (250 and 80 responses, respectively) who registered at Gustave Roussy School of Cancer Sciences (Université Paris-Saclay) during 3 consecutive university years (October 2018 to October 2021), where a major shift to e-learning was associated with COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS Most students were female (53%), attending physicians (50%), aged 30-39 years (54%) and 2020-2021 (66.4%) was the main year of training. Most faculty teachers were male (58%), aged 40-50 years (44%) and had participated in training for at least 3 years (83%). More than half of the students received 100% virtual training [55% versus 45% face-to-face/mixed teaching modalities; online (84%) versus remote teaching (16%)]. Only 34% of students declared >80% 'active listening' and only 16% of teachers considered e-learning to be more suitable (compared with face-to-face) for postgraduate education. Virtual teaching decreased student-teacher interactions as compared with mixed/face-to-face (lessons were sufficiently interactive for 54% students if virtual only teaching versus for 71% if other teaching modalities; P = 0.009). Teachers stated that virtual learning did not lead to any improvements in terms of attendance (68%), interaction (74%) and quality of teaching (68%). However, most faculty (76%) acknowledged that partial e-learning training should be maintained outside the pandemic, if it represents ≤50% of the whole teaching (teachers: 79% versus student: 66%; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 accelerated the transition toward novel practices. Students and faculty teachers agreed on the need for future mixed (≤50% e-learning) teaching modalities. Adequate formation and the use of codified best newer virtual practices are required.

Introduction
The estimated overall prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is ∼1% in the global population, and up to 10% among patients older than 65 years. PHT is associated with a worst prognosis in patients with cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. However, the significance of PHT as an incidental finding among subjects who do not suffer from cardiac or pulmonary diseases is unknown. The aim of our study is to examine whether incidental diagnosis of PHT in patients without cardiovascular or pulmonary comorbidity is associated with long-term all-cause mortality.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 8296 patients (58% females, mean age, 63 ± 14 years), who performed a first echo study (echo 1) in the years 2006-2009 and a follow up study (echo 2) until 01/2020 in a large single center echo-lab. Patients were excluded if they had evidence of moderate or more left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), significant valvular disease or diagnosis of pulmonary disease at echo 1. The association between PHT and LV function degree (Ejection fraction above or below 55%) to all-cause mortality was examined between four groups [group 1 (G1)- normal LV function (NLV)+ no PTH (NPH), G2- LVD and NPH, G3- NLV and PHT, G4- LVD and PHT] using a Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional-hazards model, accounting for various covariates.
Results
Survival time of patients with or without PHT in echo 1 and LV function status at echo 2 was found significantly different among all groups (Pv < 0.001 for all comparisons) (Figure 1). Patients in G1 had the longest mean survival time (141 ± 23 months) compared to any other group (G2-134 ± 30 months, G3-129 ± 32 months, G4-119 ± 38 months). In the multivariable analysis conducted (Table 1), PHT adjusted for various demographic factors and comorbidities was found to be an independent risk factor for long term all-cause mortality with increased risk of up to 34% (adjusted HR-1.34; 95% CI: 1.21-1.47, PV < 0.001).
Conclusion
Incidental finding of PHT in patients without known cardiovascular or pulmonary disease is an independent risk factor for long term all-cause mortality. Future studies should be conducted to assess the impact of an early diagnosis on all-cause mortality, and the need for further diagnostic and therapeutic steps. Abstract Figure. Abstract Figure.

Abstract
The oligometastatic disease concept suggests that patients with a limited number of metastases have a favorable prognosis. Radical local treatment of oligometastatic patients has then increased given developments in imaging (mainly positron emission tomography and brain magnetic resonance imaging) and access to effective and better tolerated treatments. Stereotactic radiotherapy has the advantage of being noninvasive, allowing a good rate of local control and a limited number of side effects. A better definition of oligometastatic disease, particularly for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has recently been published. For patients with NSCLC, two randomized phase II trials also suggested that the addition of a radical local treatment results in encouraging survival data, with a good safety profile. A single-arm phase II finally showed a benefit when combining a radical local treatment with an anti-PD1 immunotherapy. This review describes the definitions of oligometastatic disease, the main prospective findings including radiation therapy, and prospects for oligometastatic NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Concomitant radiochemotherapy has been the standard of care for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), irrespective of histological sub-type or molecular characteristics. Currently, only 15-30 % of patients are alive five years after radiochemotherapy, and this figure remains largely unchanged despite multiple phase III randomised trials. In recent years, immune-checkpoint blockades with anti-PD-(L)1 have revolutionised the care of metastatic NSCLC, becoming the standard front- and second-line strategy. Several preclinical studies reported an increased tumour antigen release, improved antigen presentation, and T-cell infiltration in irradiated tumours. Immunotherapy has therefore recently been evaluated for patients with locally advanced stage III NSCLC. Following the PACIFIC trial, the anti-PD-L1 durvalumab antibody has emerged as a new standard consolidative treatment for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC whose disease has not progressed following concomitant platinum-based chemoradiotherapy. Immunoradiotherapy therefore appears to be a promising association in patients with localised NSCLC. Many trials are currently evaluating the value of concomitant immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy and/or consolidative chemotherapy with immunotherapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable NSCLC.

Abstract
Fruit flies in the genus Bactrocera are among the most destructive insect pests of fruits and vegetables throughout the world. A number of studies have identified volatiles from fruit flies, but few reports have demonstrated behavioral effects or sensitivities of fly antennae to these compounds. We applied a recently developed method of automated headspace analysis using SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction) fibers and GC-MS (gas chromatography mass spectrometry), termed SSGA, to reveal volatiles specific to each sex of B. zonata that are emitted in a diel periodicity. The volatiles released primarily at dusk were identified by GC-MS and chemical syntheses as several spiroacetals, pyrazines, and ethyl esters. Solvent extraction of male rectal glands or airborne collections from each sex, followed by GC-MS, showed that certain of the volatiles increase or decrease in quantity sex-specifically with age of the flies. Electroantennographic (EAG) analysis of dose-response indicates differences in sensitivities of male and female antenna to the various volatiles. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of the volatile chemicals produced and released by B. zonata and their antennal responses. The possible pheromone and semiochemical roles of the various volatiles released by each sex and the difficulties of establishing behavioral functions are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractHere we present the first phylogeny of the genus Scartella based on mitochondrial data. The analysis strongly corroborates the validity of all species of the genus and shows that Scartella cristata, a species with a disjunct distribution, is a lineage complex comprising five clades: two in Caribbean waters, another in the East Atlantic/Mediterranean and two in Brazil. Brazilian clades occur in sympatry from Rio de Janeiro to Rio Grande do Sul states (southern Brazil). One clade (BRA 1) is unique to Brazil, while the other (BRA 2) is closely related to the eastern Atlantic lineage. Possible explanations for this pattern include both natural and anthropic mechanisms.

A new approach to quantifying the EEG during walking: Initial evidence of gait related potentials and their changes with aging and dual tasking. Exp Gerontol 2019; 126:110709.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The electroencephalogram (EEG) can be a useful tool to investigate the neurophysiology of gait during walking. Our aims were to develop an approach that identify and quantify event related potentials (ERPs) during a gait cycle and to examine the effects of aging and dual tasking on these gait related potentials (GRPs). METHODS 10 young and 10 older adults walked on a treadmill while wearing a wireless 20-channels EEG and accelerometers on the ankles. Each heel strike extracted from the accelerometers was used as an event to which the electrical brain activity pattern was locked. The subjects performed usual and dual task walking that included an auditory oddball task. GRPs amplitude and latency were computed, and a new measure referred to as Amplitude Pattern Consistency (APC) was developed to quantify the consistency of these GRP amplitudes within a gait cycle. The results were compared between and within groups using linear mixed model analysis. RESULTS The electrical pattern during a gait cycle consisted of two main positive GRPs. Differences in these GRPs between young and older adults were observed in Pz and Cz. In Pz, older adults had higher GRPs amplitude (p = 0.006, p = 0.010), and in Cz lower APC (p = 0.025). Alterations were also observed between the walking tasks. Both groups showed shorter latency during oddball walking compared to usual walking in Cz (p = 0.040). In addition, the APC in Cz was correlated with gait speed (r = 0.599, p = 0.011) in all subjects and with stride time variability in the older adults (r = -0.703, p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to define specific gait related potentials within a gait cycle using novel methods for quantifying waveforms. Our findings show the potential of this approach to be applied broadly to study the EEG during gait in a variety of contexts. The observed changes in GRPs with aging and walking task and the relationship between GRPs and gait may suggest the neurophysiologic foundation for studying walking and for developing new approaches for improving gait.

Abstract
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ responsible for the maturation of T cells as well as the immunological central tolerance. It is in the antenatal period and infancy that it plays its major role. In clinical practice, T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) are considered a direct and reliable measure of the thymic function. TRECs are a by-product of DNA formation in gene rearrangement of T cell receptors. They are stable and they do not duplicate during mitosis, representing the recent emigrant T cells from the thymus. Despite their importance, TRECs have been neglected by physicians and there is a lack of data regarding thymic function during infancy of healthy children. In order to evaluate thymic function in the first years of life, we propose measuring TRECs as a valuable tool. One hundred and three blood samples from children and adolescents between 3 months and 20 years of age were analyzed. The mean TRECs count was 136.77±96.7 copies of TRECs/μL of DNA. The individuals between 0 and 5 years of age had significantly higher TRECs values than those between 10 and 20 years of age. No significant difference was observed in TRECs values among age groups below 5 years of age. An inverse correlation between TRECs and age was found (r=0.3 P=0.003). These data highlight and validate the evidence of decreased thymus function with age, even during infancy. Awareness should be raised with this important albeit ignored organ.

Identical and Nonidentical Twins: Risk and Factors Involved in Development of Islet Autoimmunity and Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2019; 42:192-199.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk for major malformations following first-trimester exposure to vaginal azoles. DESIGN A population-based retrospective cohort study of women exposed to vaginal azoles from the first day of the last menstrual period until the 90th gestational day. SETTING A combination of four computerised databases: medications, birth, infant hospitalizations, and pregnancy terminations. POPULATION All women who gave birth or underwent a pregnancy termination at Soroka Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel, between 1999 and 2009. METHODS Crude and adjusted relative risks for major congenital malformations and for specific malformations according to organ systems were calculated using a multivariate negative binomial regression. Potential confounders were assessed and controlled for included parity, maternal age, ethnicity, maternal diabetes, smoking, and year of birth or pregnancy termination. Additional analysis using propensity score matching was performed for selected malformations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Major malformations as well as specific malformations according to organ systems. RESULTS Of 101 615 pregnancies, 1993 (1.96%) were exposed to clotrimazole vaginal tablets and 313 (0.31%) to miconazole vaginal tablets during the first trimester of pregnancy. No association was found between first-trimester exposure to clotrimazole and major or specific malformations. An association was found between miconazole exposure and musculoskeletal malformation in general and other congenital musculoskeletal anomalies in particular. However, no association was detected when propensity score matching was used. CONCLUSIONS Intrauterine exposure to vaginal azoles during the first trimester of pregnancy was not associated with either major or specific malformations according to organ systems. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT First-trimester exposure to vaginal azoles is not associated with either major or specific malformations.
