The American Thyroid Association (ATA) assembles groups of expert clinicians and scientists to evaluate published papers and recommend evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of thyroid cancer. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 1-2% of thyroid cancers in the United States. The 2015 ATA MTC guidelines have been developed to assist clinicians of all specialties in the management of patients with MTC. Importantly, guidelines focused on children and the management of thyroid nodules and cancers have not been previously addressed. Therapy that may be recommended for an adult may not be appropriate for a child who is at low risk for death but at higher risk for long-term harm from over-aggressive treatment. For these reasons, unique guidelines for children and adolescents with thyroid tumors were needed.. Authors from the international community of thyroid specialists in endocrinology, thyroid cancer, pediatric endocrinology and thyroid surgery discussed two sets of ...

We evaluated the response to salt restriction in hypertensive patients receiving drugs. By restricting their salt intake to less than 80 mmol of sodium per day for 3 months, 50% of patients reaching goal compliance were able to discontinue diuretics. The literature also reveals responses to a low salt diet. Salt restriction augmented the hypotensive effect of chlorthalidone in two investigations, but not in another, and the hypotensive effect of beta-blockers in three trials. Sodium intake of 10 mmol/day caused a much greater decrease in blood pressure in response to a single dose of captopril than did a sodium diet of 200 mmol/day. In patients receiving various fixed regimens for 2 months, salt restriction decreased blood pressure in all but those receiving calcium blockers. A single dose of nifedipine lowered blood pressure more in patients receiving 350 mmol of sodium per day than in the same patients given 150 or 10 mmol/day. Verapamil for 3 days was more effective in patients receiving 212 ...

Researchers studying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other diseases related to RNA-binding proteins gathered in Arlington, Virginia, 10-11 November 2011, to revel in, amongst other things, widespread excitement about new genes recently identified in ALS. The last two and a half months have been the most exciting time in the history of ALS, said Don Cleveland of the University of California, San Diego, citing the discovery of ALS-linked variants in genes in ubiquilin 2 (see ARF related news story on Deng et al., 2011) and C9ORF72 (see ARF related news story on Renton et al., 2011 and Dejesus-Hernandez et al., 2011). This Society for Neuroscience satellite symposium titled RNA-Binding Proteins in Neurological Disease was convened by Paul Taylor of St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and Fen-Biao Gao of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.. Not surprisingly, the C9ORF72 work, presented at the meeting by Bryan Traynor of the National Institute on ...

CML Headlines Working Towards a Cure in CML - Breakfast Satellite Symposium - CBMTG - April 2012, Toronto, Ontario - preview of Canadian CML Guidelines

The landscape of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) management has changed dramatically in recent years with the approval of new agents. The availability of these agents, along with data updates on their efficacy and safety, has complicated RCC treatment planning in terms of therapeutic selection and sequencing, toxicity management, and dose/schedule optimization. Additionally, positive results from studies of novel single-agent and combination therapies, biomarkers, and approved agents in new lines of therapy suggest more changes are on the horizon in RCC management. To help clinicians in their day-to-day practices, this case-based satellite symposium will broach a variety of clinical scenarios at key junctures in care, with the understanding that real-world scenarios cannot always be bucketed neatly into simple lines of therapy. The format of this activity will provide the audience with an opportunity to interact with the expert faculty panel and to reflect on how they arrive at the decisions they ...

We are super stoked to announce that the OYM team will be at the Canadian Neuroscience meeting in Toronto this year, hosting an exciting new satellite symposium on science communication! Come talk about the importance of communication in neuroscience with special guest speakers!. Other than shamelessly self-promoting, the hosts have got a whole lot on their minds this week. Theyre both on writing duty this week and have been thinking about the way that their science is portrayed and how it fits into the big picture.

Flexible and skyscraping frame-structural tower is sensitive to dynamic loads, that might oscillate intensely under seismic and wind loads. Thus, vibration suppression system is required and fluid viscous damper (FVD) is implemented to suppress such vibration in this study. The vibration behavior of frame-structural tower with FVD (F-FVD) is investigated by an equivalent model combined with experiment under seismic and wind loads, respectively, and the vibration suppression effect is evaluated by the displacement and energy distribution. The equivalent model of the frame-structural tower with FVD is primarily established, of which FVD is considered through Kelvin model. The parameters of FVD are supplemented to the damping term through a time-dependent damping matrix based in Rayleigh damping, and to the stiffness term through a stiffness matrix based in stiffness-equivalent simply-supported beam. Van der Pol wake oscillator is considered as the wind force term. Several conventional numerical ...

Information on chloracne, a skin condition VA recognizes in Veterans as associated with Agent Orange exposure during military service.

2,3,7,8 Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a ubiquitous environmental toxin, has been shown to cause a human skin pathology called chloracne. The majority of laboratory mouse strains, with the exception of mice bearing a mutation in thehairless gene, fail to display overt signs of chloracne upon exposure to TCDD. As a result, only minimal data exist on the effects of TCDD in adult haired mice and no data exist on the effects of TCDD in developing mouse skin. Here we report that TCDD affects the temporal expression of protein markers of keratinocyte terminal differentiation during murine skin morphogenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis of E16 mice reveals accelerated expression of the intermediate filament-associated protein filaggrin in response to TCDD. At a later developmental time and after birth, expression of filaggrin and loricrin is indistinguishable between treatment and control groups. At E16 expression of keratins 5, 6, and 10 are unaltered in TCDD-exposed individuals and TUNEL ...

At the present time, the only persistent effect associated with dioxin exposure in humans is chloracne. Other health effects that have been reported include peripheral neuropathies, fatigue, depression, personality changes, hepatitis, enlarged liver, abnormal enzyme levels and porphyria cutanea tarda though no causal relationships were established in every case. Results of a study on 1,520 workers known to have been exposed to 2,3,7,8-TCDD for a period of at least one year, and with a latency of at least twenty years between exposure and diagnosis of disease, revealed a slightly, but significantly elevated mortality from soft tissue sarcoma and cancers of the respiratory system. As with other studies, interpretation of results was limited by the small number of deaths and by possible confounders including smoking and other occupational exposures. Two recent studies followed a young population from the area of the Seveso, Italy industrial accident. The first, a cancer study, examined a cohort of ...

If you have recently received a favorable decision from the VA on your Agent Orange claim, you may think that the long fight with the VA is over. But before you decide not to appeal the decision, you will want to be sure that the VA got both the disability rating and the effective date correct. Perhaps the most complicated issue when it comes to Agent Orange-related claims are the special effective date rules (found in 38 C.F.R. 3.816) that apply to some veterans as a result of the Nehmer class action lawsuit. Note that the special Nehmer effective dates apply only to veterans who served on the landmass of Vietnam or its inland waterways (hopefully soon to include Da Nang Harbor).. Before we discuss the Nehmer effective date rules, it is helpful to understand the basics of the Nehmer class action itself. The lawsuit was filed in 1986 (and certified as a class action in 1987) to challenge a VA regulation from 1985 which gave presumptive status to chloracne claims only. In 1989, the court ...

In many industrial domains, numerical simulation has been adopted as a primary tool for optimizing processes and devices. However, the simulation of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments presents specific challenges. Thus, modeling the lesion creation process remains complex in many clinically relevant situations, where cavitation or boiling occur [1]. In these cases, where the influence of the bubble cloud cannot be directly simulated, equivalent models have to be developed [1, 2]. Beyond their predictive capability, which is by nature restricted, they aim at producing a useful understanding [1] by identifying the main physical phenomena shaping the lesion. In this context, this paper describes a rigorous approach for designing, calibrating, and validating an equivalent model to simulate the in situ temperature field.. Acoustic simulation of HIFU beams has been greatly studied during the past decades, and several wave equations have been derived, such as the widely used ...

Self-learning equivalent-convolutional neural structures (SLECNS) for auto-coding-decoding and image clustering are discussed. The SLECNS architectures and their spatially invariant equivalent models (SI EMs) using the corresponding matrix-matrix procedures with basic operations of continuous logic and non-linear processing are proposed. These SI EMs have several advantages, such as the ability to recognize image fragments with better efficiency and strong cross correlation. The proposed clustering method of fragments with regard to their structural features is suitable not only for binary, but also color images and combines self-learning and the formation of weight clustered matrix-patterns. Its model is constructed and designed on the basis of recursively processing algorithms and to k-average method. The experimental results confirmed that larger images and 2D binary fragments with a large numbers of elements may be clustered. For the first time the possibility of generalization of these ...

3,3,4,4-Tetrachloroazobenzene is not commercially manufactured but is present as a contaminant of 3,4-dichloroaniline and its herbicidal derivatives Propanil, Linuron, and Diuron (Sundstrom et al., 1978; Bunce et al., 1979; Carey et al., 1980; Hill et al., 1981). In addition, environmental contamination occurs when TCAB is formed by the photolysis and biolysis of 3,4-dichloroaniline. TCAB was nominated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for toxicity testing, based on concerns over the potential for human exposure, the structural resemblance to the potent immunotoxic and carcinogenic agent 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, and reports that TCAB demonstrated dioxin-like effects (van Birgelen et al., 1999). The toxicity of TCAB was evaluated in 13-week gavage studies in male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice (van Birgelen et al., 1999; NTP, 1998). Results of these studies demonstrated decreased thymus weights, thymic atrophy, and macrocytic anemia in male and female rats ...

You probably havent heard anything about this group of toxic chemicals for almost six years. Formed during combustion processes such as waste incineration, theyre known to increase the likelihood of cancer after long-term low level exposure. At higher levels, dioxins can be disfiguring or deadly. It was six years ago that the world first saw a clear example of the damage that dioxins can cause. The face of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko was heavily scarred, the effect of a chloracne outbreak after suspected dioxin poisoning. He might have been poisoned with as little as a drop and significant amounts of poison could remain in his system for the rest of his life. Wikipedia paints a much scarier portrait of the 70+ isomers of highly toxic, man-made organic compounds. Byproducts of some industrial processes and waste incineration, dioxins are fat-soluble, so they tend to accumulate in the tissues of the animals who encounter them and it can take many years for the compounds to ...

So now were up here saying We told you so, Wells said of his visit to the Capital to discuss the matter with lawmakers. Wells was joined on that trip to Washington D.C. on Tuesday by Mike Yates, head of the Blue Water Navy Association, who spent two years on the USS Bainbridge off the coast of Vietnam and is being treated for prostate cancer and hypertension. Both of those diseases are considered to be linked to Agent Orange exposure. I agree 100 percent, Yates said, speaking by phone from the Capital about concerns shared by Wells. Yates said that hes hopeful theyll win in court once again, but that even if they do the VA could reissue a stay and delay processing those benefits just to get back at everybody. And thats a possibility, Wells said. To qualify for benefits Blue water veterans must have one of the diseases associated with Agent Orange exposure, which under federal regulations include: AL amyloidosis; Chloracne or similar acneform disease; Chronic B-cell leukemias; ...

Despite the 2009 Council Recommendation that seasonal influenza vaccination rates should be improved for the elderly, at risk groups and health care workers, there remains a concerning sub-optimal level of influenza vaccination coverage across Europe with 15,000-70,000 people dying each year due to influenza. These worrying facts led to the creation of a multi-stakeholder Steering Group on Influenza Vaccination, whose members are committed to raising awareness of influenza-related public health issues and encouraging stronger policy driven actions at European and national level in support of influenza vaccination. One of the Steering Groups tasks is to draft an EU Manifesto on Influenza Vaccination, a tangible means of aligning the community on the shared policy requirements to protect European citizens from influenza. The idea of developing a Manifesto will be presented during this satellite symposium. Participants will be invited to give their input to this initiative either during the ...

We report for the first time label-free quantification of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XME), transporters, redox enzymes, proteases and nucleases in six human skin explants and a 3D living skin equivalent model from LabSkin. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of LabSkin as an alternative to animal testing for the development of topical formulations. More than 2000 proteins were identified and quantified from total cellular protein. Alcohol dehydrogenase 1C (ADH1C), the most abundant phase I XME in human skin, and glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1), the most abundant phase II XME in human skin, were present in similar abundance in LabSkin. Several esterases were quantified and esterase activity was confirmed in LabSkin using substrate-based mass spectrometry imaging. No cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity was observed for the substrates tested, in agreement with the proteomics data, where the cognate CYPs were absent in both human skin and LabSkin. Label-free protein quantification allowed ...

article{cc46aab3-9097-4281-9882-554963bfe958, abstract = {Protein C (PC), a 62 kDa multi-modular zymogen, is activated to an anticoagulant serine protease (activated PC or APC) by thrombin bound to thrombomodulin on the surface of endothelial cells. PC/APC interacts with many proteins and the characterisation of these interactions is not trivial. However, molecular modelling methods help to study these complex biological processes and provide basis for rational experimental design and interpretation of the results. PC/APC consists of a Gla domain followed by two EGF modules and a serine protease domain. In this report, we present two structural models for full-length APC and two equivalent models for full-length PC, based on the X-ray structures of Gla-domainless APC and of known serine protease zymogens. The overall elongated shape of the models is further cross-validated using size exclusion chromatography which allows evaluation of the Stokes radius (rs for PC = 33.15 A; rs for APC = 34.19 ...

Context: Prostate cancer (PCa) cells are characterised by an exquisite tropism for the bone, which translates into one of the highest rates of bone metastases and skeletal morbidity. New, effective treatments have emerged from a better understanding of the physiopathology of bone metastases. Objective: To summarise current insights and future perspectives in the therapy of PCa-induced bone disease. Evidence acquisition: This manuscript is based on presentations given at a satellite symposium held at the 2nd World Congress on Controversies in Urology (CURy) in Lisbon, Portugal. Data were retrieved from original and recent review papers on PCa-induced bone disease. Evidence synthesis: In normal, healthy bone, there is a balance between bone resorption and bone formation through the coordinated activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) is an essential mediator of osteoclast formation, function, and survival. The RANKL pathway represents ...
