Psilocybin has in some studies shown promise as treatment of major depressive disorder and psilocybin therapy was in 2019 twice designated as breakthrough therapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A very particular feature is that ingestion of just a single dose of psilocybin is associated with lasting changes in personality and mood. The underlying molecular mechanism behind its effect is, however, unknown. In a translational pig model, we here present the effects of a single dose of psilocybin on pig behaviour, receptor occupancy and gene expression in the brain. An acute i.v. injection of 0.08 mg/kg psilocybin to awake female pigs induced characteristic behavioural changes in terms of headshakes, scratching and rubbing, lasting around 20 min. A similar dose was associated with a cerebral 5-HT2A receptor occupancy of 67%, as determined by positron emission tomography, and plasma psilocin levels were comparable to what in humans is associated with an intense psychedelic experience. We found that 19 genes were differentially expressed in prefrontal cortex one day after psilocybin injection, and 3 genes after 1 week. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis demonstrated that multiple immunological pathways were regulated 1 week after psilocybin exposure. This provides a framework for future investigations of the lasting molecular mechanisms induced by a single dose of psilocybin. In the light of an ongoing debate as to whether psilocybin is a safe treatment for depression and other mental illnesses, it is reassuring that our data suggest that any effects on gene expression are very modest.

The effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on long-term prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well known. However, the effect of CR on frail CVD patients has not been fully addressed.

This study consisted of 89 CVD patients with their age ≥65 years old (68 males, 75±6 years), who participated in the outpatient CR program for 3 months. All the patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the physical frailty was assessed using the Japanese Version of the Cardiovascular Health Study Standard before and after CR. Based on the assessment of frailty before CR, the patients were divided into the following two groups frailty group (n=23) and non-frailty group (n=66 robust in 10 and pre-frail in 56 patients).

In the frailty group, 20 patients (87%) improved from frail status after CR, and usual walking speed, maximal grip strength, and lower extremity strength were significantly improved (1.06±0.20vs. 1.20±0.18m/sec, p<0.001; 21.7±5.5vs. 23.6±6.3kg, p<0.01; 0.37±0.09vs. 0.43±0.11 kgf/kgcise capacity in these patients, being the future consideration to be determined.

To evaluate the surgical accuracy of a new Maxillary Bone-Dental-Supported guide (MBDS) for osteotomy and maxillary positioning in orthognathic surgeries.

The customized MBDS were prototyped through CAD-CAM technology (computer-aided design and manufacturing). The planning image (CT0) was superimposed on the computed tomography scan post-treatment (CT1) and the mean of positional differences between them were obtained tridimensionally at the axes mediolateral (X), anteroposterior (Y) and vertical (Z).

Eleven patients were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mediolateral movement showed the best precision, with a greater mean difference of 0.34mmat the CI point (central incisor) and less than 0.02mmat the RM point (right molar). In the vertical direction, the largest mean discrepancy found was 0.50mm and on the y-axis, anteroposterior, was 0.74mm, as well as two at the CI point. The skeletal SNA point, on the other hand, showed the smallest average discrepancies 0.10mm (x-axis), 0.03mm (y-axis) and 0mm (z-axis). Overall, 99.24% of the discrepancies found were less than 2mm.

Our results suggests that the double support, osseous and dental, present in that new guide, favored the positional stability of the maxilla and promoted better control of its vertical axis. Furthermore, the function of an osteotomy guide increases the predictability and security of the surgical procedure.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates are much lower at federally qualified health centers (FQHC) than the rest of the nation. The study aim was to determine if a physician led, low cost intervention, can improve CRC screening rates at FQHCs for underserved patients.

A CRC quality improvement outreach program was conducted at 4 FQHCs. The program included direct provider education sessions, systems process improvements, patient education resources and low cost testing. We analyzed pre and post intervention screening rates for all eligible patients, defined as age 50-74 at average CRC risk.

CRC screening rates significantly increased at all sites 3 months following intervention Site 1 41%-48.3%, p < .0001; site 2 31.6%-37.8%, p < .0001; site 3 30.5%-38.2%, p < .0001 and site 4 43.9%-46.8%, p = .012.

The education program successfully increased CRC screening rates in the underserved by 2.9%-7.7% 3 months post-intervention.

This approach of direct provider education sessions, systems process improvements, patient education resources and low cost testing improved underserved CRC screening. Implementation across Georgia would be expected to improve CRC related mortality and morbidity for the state's underserved.

Although many studies related to robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery have been published, when doing our search, scientometric studies that focus on related robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery were limited. In this study, we aimed to analyze and review the research hots and research status of robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery. We searched publications that involved robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery in the Web of Science database from 1980 to May 23, 2020. The top 100 publications were published in 2012 with the number of 17 and citations ranged from 618 to 64. Published across 34 different journals, namely European urology (n = 17) and others, the greatest contribution among 36 institutes was made by the Cleveland Clinic (n = 11). Of the top 100 publications, a total of 429 unique words were identified and the most frequently occurring keyword was laparoscopy (n = 33). The co-occurrence of keywords in the top 100 publications indicated that the study of diseases mainly focused on prostatectomy, complications, prostate cancer, retropubic prostatectomy, nephron-sparing surgery, lymph-node dissection, total mesenteric excision, sexual function, rectal cancer, and assisted distal gastrectomy. In recent years, comparative research on robot and laparoscopic surgery has decreased and most studies focus on cancer.Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant genodermatosis, characterized by sebaceous neoplasms and visceral carcinomas. The authors describe the case of a patient who, 16 years after the diagnosis of colon carcinoma, presented a verrucous plaque on the pubic region, histopathologically compatible with sebaceous adenoma. The need to investigate this syndrome is emphasized, especially in cases of sebaceous neoplasms located outside the head, face, and neck. Screening for neoplasms in these patients and their families is mandatory.

Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common type of malignancy in the Western world, and surgical excision is the preferred approach. The approach adopted in the face of incomplete excisions of basal cell carcinoma is still controversial.

To compare the number of tumor recurrences after treatment for incompletely excised basal cell carcinoma.

Selection and statistical analysis of medical records of patients who had compromised margins after excision of basal cell carcinoma in a tertiary hospital from 2008 to 2013.

A total of 120 medical records were analyzed; the mean age was 69.6 years, and 50% of the patients were female. The most prevalent histological type was nodular; the mean size was 1.1 cm, and the tumor location with the highest incidence was the nose. The lateral margin was the most frequently positive. Clinical follow-up was more widely adopted; only 40 patients underwent a second surgery. The total number of patients who had tumor recurrence was 34 (28.3%). Only the malar location significantly influenced the incidence of recurrence (p = 0.02). The mean follow-up time was 29.54 months, with no significant difference between the follow-ups, although 32.9% of the patients followed-up clinically showed recurrence, against only 20% of those who underwent a second surgery.

Mean follow-up time of less than five years and sample size.

The presence of compromised margins does not necessarily imply recurrence. Location, tumor size, histological subtype, previous epithelial tumors, and clinical conditions of the patient must be considered when choosing the best treatment option.

These small shiny structures are found in several conditions such as scarring, dermatofibroma, molluscum contagiosum, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, melanocytic nevus, discoid lupus erythematosus, and papulopustular rosacea. In this novel report, the authors describe the presence of rosettes in a T-cell pseudolymphoma lesion.

Dermatologists don't have a good knowledge of the surgical treatment for ingrown toenails and there is no consensus on which is the best approach.

To develop an easy and effective surgical approach to solve the problem of ingrown toenails.

We identified 67 patients with ingrown toenails in varying degrees of severity which were treated with the standardized approach.

All the patients had a completely recovery from the disease and none complained about the cosmetic result.

The number of cases is limited.

The standardized surgical approach is easily learned and very effective. The recurrence rate is lower than with other treatments.
