X-ray analysis revealed a canonical type-I binding mode for IC20 (31). However, the polar carboxylic acid moiety that is shared by many CK2 inhibitors including silmitasertib was required for potency but limits the cellular activity of IC20 (31) and the cellular IC50 dropped to the low micromolar range. In summary, IC20 (31) represents a highly selective and potent inhibitor of CK2, which can be used as a tool compound to study CK2 biology and potential new applications for the treatment of diseases.Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. A number of efficacious EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been developed. However, acquired drug resistance largely encumbered their clinical practicability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic regime. Herein, we designed and synthesized a set of EGFR-targeting small molecule PROTACs which showed promising efficacy. In particular, VHL-recruiting compound P3 showed potent anti-proliferative activity against HCC827 and H1975 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.83 and 203.01 nM, respectively. Furthermore, both EGFRdel19 and EGFRL858R/T790M could be significantly induced to be degraded under treatment of P3 with DC50 values of 0.51 and 126.2 nM, respectively. Compound P3 was able to dramatically suppress EGFR pathway signal transduction. Moreover, compound P3 could significantly induce cell apoptosis, arrest cell cycle and suppress cell colony formation. In addition, we identified that ubiquitination was indispensable in the degradation process, and found that the degradation was related to autophagy. Our work would provide an alternative approach for development of potentially effective EGFR degraders and give a new clue for investigation of PROTAC-induced protein degradation.

Implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) has high success and satisfaction rates, but there remains a paucity of evidence examining non-usage of IPP and reasons for discontinuation.

To identify how frequent patients use their prosthesis and their personal reasons for no longer using it.

We conducted a survey of all patients who underwent an IPP implantation by a single surgeon over a 6-year period, between 2012 and 2018. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 114 patients formed the final cohort. Patients were initially surveyed via mail with a questionnaire; those who did not respond were surveyed via telephone. The factors determining patient selection for IPP implantation included suitability for general anesthesia, manual dexterity to use the device by the patient or their partner on a demonstration device, and presence of refractory erectile dysfunction, HbA1C lower than 8.5, or need for a revision of a previously placed IPP. Universally, a 3-piece AMS 700 Setient selection for device implantation.

To our knowledge, no other study has investigated reasons for patients no longer using their prosthesis. Our study has several limitations including that it is a cross-sectional analysis, our survey is not validated, this is a single-surgeon experience, we have a small sample size, and we did not differentiate between virgin implant and reimplantation.

Our study shows a high rate (28%) of non-usage of IPP, more so in men older than the age of 70years in the first 5years of implantation. Knoll P, Rai S, Talluri S, etal. A Survey of Usage of Penile Prosthesis. J Sex Med 2020;172287-2290.

Social distancing in the wake of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may affect the sexual behavior of men who have sex with men (MSM). In early March 2020, Israel imposed travel restrictions and limited social contacts to household members only. The effects of these restrictions on the sexual behavior and mental health of MSM are unknown.

To assess sexual behaviors and mental health of Israeli MSM during social distancing and to compare sexual behaviors before and during social distancing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data were collected through anonymous web-based questionnaires in a popular geospatial application used by MSM between March and April 2020 during the social-distancing period.

The dependent variable was casual sex, in violation of social-distancing regulations. Independent variables were demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors before and during social-distancing restrictions, and mental health.

Of the 2,562 participants, 1,012 (39.5%) continued to meet new casual able populations, such as MSM. Future public health response should strike a balance between containment measures and its possible mental, social, and financial burdens. Shilo G, Mor Z.

Little is known about how transfers influence time to treatment for cases of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We examine the effect of geographical location, socioeconomic status and inter-hospital transfer on time to treatment following an aSAH.

A state-wide retrospective cohort study was established from 2010-2014. Time intervals from ictus to treatment were calculated. Linear regression examined associations between transfer status, place of residence and socioeconomic status and log-transformed times to treatment.

The median (IQR) time to intervention was 13.78 (6.48-20.63) hours. Socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with a 1.52-fold increase in the time to hospital (p<0.05) and a 1.76-fold increase in time to neurosurgical admission (p<0.05). Residing in an outer regional area was associated with a 2.27-fold increase (p<0.05) in time to neurosurgical admission. Inter-hospital transfers were associated with a 6.26-fold increase in time to neurosurgical admission (p<0.05).

The time to treatment was negatively influenced by socioeconomic disadvantage; geographical location and inter-hospital transfers. The urgent transfer of individuals with suspected aSAH is undeniably necessary when neurosurgical services are unavailable locally. The timeliness and organisation of transfers should be reviewed to overcome the potential vulnerability to poor outcomes for people from rural and disadvantaged areas.

A Virtual fracture clinic (VFC) was set up in 2015. An initial patient satisfaction survey demonstrated satisfaction with the service. The purpose of this service evaluation was to re-evaluate the VFC by reporting on patient satisfaction. A small audit was undertaken alongside to examine the time taken from ED presentation to VFC review against the British Orthopaedic Association Society for Trauma (BOAST) guidelines of 72h.

All patients discharged from VFC in August 2019 were eligible to take part in the patient satisfaction survey. The Electronic Patients Records System (EPRS) was used to generate data regarding time of review and patient return for follow up appointments.

The results demonstrated that 88% of patients would recommend the service to friends. More than 80% of patients were satisfied with various elements of the service and 80% of patients are seen within the target time of 72h.

Patients continue to be satisfied with the VFC. There seems to be a greater acceptance of not being reviewed by a doctor. In general, patients were seen within 72h of ED presentation but more work is needed to streamline the process of tertiary referrals.

Two types of immediate reconstruction are possible, implant-based reconstruction or autologous reconstruction. These reconstructions interpose a tissue in the operating bed, which modifies target volume definition compared to a wall without reconstruction Post mastectomy radiotherapy increases the rate of postoperative complications for both surgical procedures. Recent guidelines were published about target volume definition in the post mastectomy setting after implant-based reconstruction. Guidelines about target volume definition after autologous reconstruction are still awaited. The aim of our work is to present the different surgical procedures for immediate breast reconstruction, their complications, and the definition of the postmastectomy target volume.

Augmented reality (AR) is a novel technology adopted in prostatic surgery.

To evaluate the impact of a 3D model with AR (AR-3D model), to guide nerve sparing (NS) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), on surgical planning.

Twenty-six consecutive patients with diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) results available were scheduled for AR-3D NS RARP.

Segmentation of mpMRI and creation of 3D virtual models were achieved. To develop AR guidance, the surgical DaVinci video stream was sent to an AR-dedicated personal computer, and the 3D virtual model was superimposed and manipulated in real time on the robotic console.

The concordance of localisation of the index lesion between the 3D model and the pathological specimen was evaluated using a prostate map of 32 specific areas. AUNP-12 datasheet A preliminary surgical plan to determinate the extent of the NS approach was recorded based on mpMRI. The final surgical plan was reassessed during surgery by implemenl prostatectomy allows identification of the index prostate cancer during surgery, to tailor the surgical dissection to the index lesion and to change the extent of nerve-sparing dissection.

To describe the anesthetic and adverse effects of an injectable anesthetic protocol in dogs as part of a high-volume sterilization program under field conditions in Belize.

Prospective, observational, field study.

A total of 23 female and eight male dogs (14.2 ± 7.7 kg; age ≥ 8 weeks).

Using a volume per kg-based dose chart, dogs were administered ketamine (4.5 mg kg

), medetomidine (0.04 mg kg

) and hydromorphone (0.09 mg kg

) intramuscularly. After induction of anesthesia, an endotracheal tube was inserted and dogs were allowed spontaneous breathing in room air. Monitoring included peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO

), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate, rectal temperature and end-tidal carbon dioxide (Pe'CO

). Meloxicam (0.2 mg kg

) was administered subcutaneously after surgery. Data were analyzed with linear models and chi-square tests (p < 0.05).

Onset of lateral recumbency (3.4 ± 2 minutes) was rapid. Desaturation (SpO

< 90%) was observed at least once in 64.
