The purpose of the meeting was discussing several aspects of liver machine perfusion in liver transplantation, including the state of the art, real-world clinical indications, and potential developments of this technology. We herein provide a brief summary of the evidence, perspectives and controversies presented during the meeting.To investigate how different quality of day 3 (D3) embryos affect blastocyst formation and clinical outcomes. This retrospective study analysed 699 patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) between January 2017 and February 2021. A total of 2517 D3 embryos were transferred to blastocyst medium for extended culture. D3 embryos were divided into five groups. Grade A, 6-10 cells, symmetrical blastomeres and 10 cells, symmetrical blastomeres and/or less then 20% fragmentation) is relatively good, the results of grade A embryos (6-10 cells, symmetrical blastomeres and/or less then 20% fragmentation) are better in terms of clinical outcomes.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? We believe this is meaningful for embryologists to choose embryos for transfer and predict the clinical outcome of IVF cycles.

To investigate the effectiveness of a structured questionnaire completed at 36 weeks gestation in predicting breech presentation.

Questionnaire-based study.

Tertiary NHS Foundation Trust.

Women attending for a universally offered 36-week fetal growth scan.

Completion of a previously designed maternal questionnaire detailing sensation of fetal movements during the past week, immediately before a routine growth scan.

Between September 01, 2018 and September 30, 2019, 2341 questionnaires were handed out and 2053 were returned. Analysis was performed in 1938 (94.4%) completed questionnaires. Recorded presentation was breech in 109 (5.6%), transverse/oblique in 15 (0.8%), and cephalic in 1814 (93.6%). Women "thinking their baby was breech" had a high positive likelihood ratio, at 11.8 (95% CI 7.4-19.1), but poor sensitivity (27.3%). "Feeling kicks low down or near the bladder" was sensitive for non-cephalic presentation (76.3%) but with poor specificity (48.9%). The questions "kicks low" ("no") (P= 0.0detection. As a minimum, a woman who believes her baby is breech should be taken seriously.Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection of the central nervous system that occurs in many parts of Europe and Asia. Humans mainly acquire TBE through tick bites, but TBE occasionally is contracted through consuming unpasteurized milk products from viremic livestock. We describe cases of TBE acquired through alimentary transmission in Europe during the past 4 decades. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 410 foodborne TBE cases, mostly from a region in central and eastern Europe. Most cases were reported during the warmer months (April–August) and were associated with ingesting unpasteurized dairy products from goats. The median incubation period was short, 3.5 days, and neuroinvasive disease was common (38.9%). The clinical attack rate was 14% (95% CI 12%–16%), and we noted major heterogeneity. Vaccination programs and public awareness campaigns could reduce the number of persons affected by this potentially severe disease.Iron deficiency, defined as ferritin less then 100 µg/L or ferritin 100-299 µg/L if the transferrin saturation is less then 20 %, with or without anaemia is a common comorbidity in patients with acute and chronic heart failure. International and Swedish guidelines recommend treatment of iron deficiency with intravenous iron in patients with symptomatic heart failure and ejection fraction less then 50 %. Controlled studies document positive effects from treatment with iron carboxymaltose on symptoms, quality of life, functional parameters and risk of hospitalisation. We present a simple algoritm based on published data to help the responsible physician to manage these patients in clinical practice.Covering up to 2022The report provides a broad approach to deciphering the evolution of coenzyme biosynthetic pathways. Here, these various pathways are analyzed with respect to the coenzymes required for this purpose. CDK2-IN-73 in vitro Coenzymes whose biosynthesis relies on a large number of coenzyme-mediated reactions probably appeared on the scene at a later stage of biological evolution, whereas the biosyntheses of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and nicotinamide (NAD+) require little additional coenzymatic support and are therefore most likely very ancient biosynthetic pathways.

To clarify the effect of asymptomatic coronaviruse disease-2019 (COVID-19) positivity on the placenta in the third trimester of pregnancy.

This prospective, case-control study included 30 pregnant women diagnosed with asymptomatic COVID-19 between April 30, 2021 and July 20, 2021 who delivered after the 34

gestational week, and a control group of 30 pregnant women without COVID-19, who delivered between April 2021 and July 2021, matched to the study group regarding age, gestational age and body mass index. Outcomes were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, serum blood outcomes, neonatal results, complications and placental histopathological findings.

The mean age of the study population was 28.8 years and the mean gestational week was 38.2 weeks. The C-reactive protein levels (38.2 mg/L vs 5.8 mg/L, p=0.001) and ferritin levels (266.4 μg/L and 40.5 μg/L, p=0.001) were significantly higher in the COVID-19-positive pregnant women. The lymphocyte level was significantly higher in the non-COVID-19 pregnant women (p=0.040). Mural hypertrophy was determined at a significantly higher rate in COVID-positive pregnant women (83.3% vs 30.0%, p=0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that only COVID-19 positivity increased the presence of mural hypertrophy in pregnant women with asymptomatic COVID-19 (4.716-fold, 95% confidence interval=1.012-22.251).

The results of this study demonstrated that asymptomatic COVID-19 had no significant effect on pregnancy and neonatal complications. However, mural hypertrophy in the placenta was found at a significantly higher rate in pregnant women with asymptomatic COVID-19.

We present a 17-year-old adolescent female who presented with a six-month history of cough; recurrent fever and bilateral lower limb multiple ulcerated nodules of 1-month duration. Clinical examination revealed generalized lymphadenopathy with bilateral pitting leg edema which had multiple nodules and discoid ulcers extending from the groin to the ankles and discharging purulent fluid. Tests for human immunodeficiency virus and tuberculosis were negative. Histology of nodule biopsy revealed extensive caseous and coagulative fat necrosis, granulomatous inflammation with epitheloid macrophages and multinucleated giant cells surrounding the necrosis, and lymphoid infiltration of vessel walls with fibrous thickening of the intima, typical of Whitfield-type erythema induratum. There was initial but very transient response to antibiotic treatment, with further deterioration and eventual death from overwhelming sepsis.Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is a rare soft tissue tumor predominantly observed in adolescents and young adults, and is characterized by aggressive behavior. So far, only two cases of primary axillary soft tissue EES have been reported in the literature. One of them was a 29-year-old female patient who presented with a lump in her left axilla. Upon examination, an irregular, painless mass, measuring 5 cm × 5 cm × 3 cm, was noted in the left axilla. A histopathological examination of the mass revealed small, round, blue cells with scant cytoplasm, round nuclei, numerous mitosis, and necrosis. An immunohistochemistry (IHC) examination was positive for CD99 and negative for ER, PR, Her2neu, CK7, CK5/6, CD56, CD45, CK-pan, CKHMW, P63, desmin, S100, TdT, vimentin, myogenin, synaptophysin, and chromogranin A. The patient was diagnosed with primary axillary soft tissue EES and was started on neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Twelve months later, she is clinically free from the disease.Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare clinical condition in which atrophy or hypoplasia of one cerebral hemisphere occurs secondary to brain insult during fetal or early childhood, which results in variable clinical manifestations like hemiparesis, seizures, expressive aphasia, and mental retardation. This rare entity mainly presents in childhood and is unusual in adults. DDMS is a rare cause of epilepsy and should be considered and excluded in cases of refractory seizures. Few cases have been reported from a developing nation like Nigeria but not from the north-eastern part of Nigeria to the best of our knowledge. Though fewer specialists exist in Adamawa State, efforts to train more specialists and education of medical officers to manage this rare case need to be strengthened. Herein is a case of an adolescent boy with recurrent generalized tonic-clonic convulsions complicated by left-sided hemiparesis, expressive aphasia, and mental age equivalent of a six-year-old by the Goodenough draw-a-person test. Found to be obese with Body Mass Index (BMI) of 29 kg/m2 (Z-score >2 Standard deviation SD), microcephaly, Occipito-frontal Circumference (OFC) of 45 cm (Z-score > -3 SD), spastic left-sided hemiplegia and hemiplegic gait. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed hyper-intensity in the right cerebral hemisphere, extensive atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere involving the ipsilateral fronto-temporoparietal lobes, cerebral peduncle, and a contralateral megalencephaly, ipsilateral lateral ventricular dilatation, hypertrophic calvarium, hyperpneumatization of sphenoidal sinuses and midline shift due to loss of volume on the right. A diagnosis of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome was made; the patient did well on carbamazepine and physiotherapy. Caregivers were counseled, and the patient was discharged home and is currently on a follow-up visit.Traumatic anterior hip dislocation is quite rare and accounts for 7% to 15% of all hip dislocations. Approximately 70% of anterior hip dislocations are the obturator type and represent less than 7% of all hip dislocations. Indentation fracture of the femoral head complicates 35-55% of obturator dislocations. Features of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and osteoarthritis of the hip joint may manifest within 2 years. Our index patient is a 19-year-old female who had conservative treatment for right obturator dislocation with indentation fracture of the femoral head. She recovered fully and had no features of osteonecrosis or secondary arthritis at 2 years postinjury. The aim of this report is to highlight the role of conservative treatment in the management of obturator dislocation with indentation fracture of femoral head.
