Both studies found positives in the 35% to 40% range, higher in levitra canada for sale certain phenotypes (neuromuscular and skeletal dysplasia) universal additional information for http://mattjsmith.com/levitra-price/ counselling and results which often changed treatment. See pages 1, 31 and 38Global child healthSnakebite. ManagementJay Halbert and Jacqueline Le Geyt continue their brilliant series on snakebite, this instalment reviewing management.

Never has levitra canada for sale primum non nocere been more germane, much harm being (unwittingly) caused by traditional ‘cures’. Primary treatment is generic to all species and includes. Non-weight bearing and simple analgesia.

Immobilisation of the bitten part of the levitra canada for sale body so it lies below the level of the heart. Referral to a medical facility with attention to the airway, oxygenation and prevention of aspiration and gaining intravenous access in an unaffected limb. Harmful practices such as incision, suction devices, snake stones, cryotherapy and tourniquets are now known to be high risk.

Tourniquets can increase local levitra canada for sale tissue destruction and cause gangrene. Pressure immobilisation bandages are useful in bites by elapids (neurotoxic snakes that do not cause local swelling) to reduce lymphatic flow but can cause harm in viperid bites and are therefore not recommended by WHO in most snake bites. If the snake type has been identified (not always possible—photos can help) then anti-venom specific to the family of the biting snake can be added.

This treatment is specific to levitra canada for sale the type of bite, the coagulopathy of the Viperidae or the neurotoxicity of the Elapidae families. See page 14Epinephrine auto-injectors. Gentle or jabbing?.

There are two schools of thought as to the optimum way of administering levitra canada for sale emergency epinephrine with an auto-injector for anaphylaxis. The gentler place and press method and (possibly faster) method of swing and jab. Confusingly, different devices recommend one or the other, while some (eg, Epipen) recommend both depending on geographical region.

Louise Pike and David Tuthill assess whether there are other gains from the use of one method over the other, using the length of (paintball drawn) laceration from needle-free practice pen levitra canada for sale tests as a marker for trauma and pain in a group of Welsh primary school children. The place and press technique ‘incurred’ far less of a mark, suggesting less real-life risk of a laceration and a more pleasant experience (if that’s an appropriate term given the use to treat anaphylaxis). For sheer pragmatism and ingenuity, this is my editor’s choice for the month.

See page 54Non alcoholic fatty liver levitra canada for sale diseaseIn a compelling review of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), precursor to NASH, steatosis, Meera Shaunak explores the pathophysiology and potential interventions. The folkloric perception of the obesity equation has now been debunked. It is one part of the equation, but dietary composition (UFAs, disaccharides) and chronic hypoxia and ethnicity all contribute.

Intervention is extremely difficult, the usual arsenal of metabolic-modifying drugs (metformin, losartan, anti-oxidants), so far in levitra canada for sale the ‘tantalisingly promising’ rather than clearcut delivering phase. See page 3Thyroid anatomical phenotypesThough thyroid imaging after a diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is deemed ‘desirable’, the use of scintigraphy (a much more sensitive tool for detection of variants in position) has yet to become embedded in the routine work up, partly as many are yet to be convinced that it changes management. Chris Worth’s analysis of a 10 year (2007–2017) study of neonatal CH/ TSH screen positive babies might change this view.

In their series, scintigraphy was routine and more babies with gland in situ (GIS) and gland ectopia and fewer a/dysplastic levitra canada for sale glands than expected found. Those with GIS had lower median TSH and higher LT4 than their counterparts and a high chance of the hypothyroidism being transient (off treatment by 3 years of age) and it feels as if scintigraphy has untapped potential as a prognostic tool. See page 77Cycle of deprivation and abuseThough the use of electronic records is ubiquitous, there is still much untapped potential.

Identifying households at high risk of intimate partner violence and child levitra canada for sale maltreatment from ‘precursor’ warning presentations is one example of their promise. Shabeer Syed and colleagues’ systematic review of test validation studies eruditely pools the positive predictive values for a range of warning diagnoses (fractures, abstinence syndrome in children for example) and later ascertainment/corroboration. With the (unsurprising) rider of publication bias, markers had between 50% and 90% PPV, the only low outlier being fetal alcohol syndrome, a notoriously difficult diagnosis even when directly reported.

Somehow (through data set levitra canada for sale linkage) these flags need to be translated to warning systems. If not, we will have missed a major opportunity.See page 44Two recent studies in Asia illustrate the potential of next generation sequencing (NGS) and the value of large-scale studies in Asian cohorts to represent variation in the reference genome. The UK itself has a diverse population and acknowledging the genetic variation that exists within differing ethnic groups is important to deliver a high-quality genomic service for all.

The paper from Wei levitra canada for sale et al1 demonstrates that an understanding of what each NGS test provides allowed for the use of a large exome gene panel rather than whole exome sequencing (WES). This still increased the diagnostic yield to almost 40% in Mendelian disorders. Bhatia et al2 further showed that using whole exome and whole genome sequencing (WGS) led to a diagnostic yield of 38% and 33%, respectively, in their Asian cohort.

Particularly in children with neuromuscular and skeletal dysplasia phenotypes, performing a levitra canada for sale ‘trio exome’ also contributed to a higher diagnostic yield. Bhatia et al additionally demonstrate that 61% of the variants found in their multiethnic Asian population were novel. This information is crucial to help collate accurate reference data sets, which tend to have a European bias, with Asian ancestry represented by 14% of samples.3The human genome was first sequenced in 2003 and helped to unravel the complexities behind disease-causing alterations in our DNA.

Although genetic testing has evolved a great deal since then, the original and ‘first generation’ method used to sequence the genome was ‘Sanger sequencing’.Named after Fred Sanger who developed this in 1975, Sanger sequencing involves using DNA as a template to generate a set of fragments that differ in length.

Johns Hopkins researchers say that a drug approved to treat lung cancer substantially slowed the growth of tumors, in how can i buy levitra mice, caused by a rare form of bone cancer. Reporting in the journal PLOS ONE, the researchers say the finding offers hope to chordoma patients, who have no treatment options once surgery and radiation have been exhausted. There are no U.S how can i buy levitra. Food and Drug Administration-approved medications for the disease and, because its incidence is only one in 1 million, there is little financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop or test drugs to treat them.

€œThe encouraging news is that how can i buy levitra this drug is already used in humans to treat lung cancer,” says study leader Gary L. Gallia, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of neurosurgery and oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Chordoma occurs at the base of the skull and in the bones of the spine. This cancer is thought to arise from remnants of the cartilage-like structure how can i buy levitra that serves as a scaffold for the formation of the spinal column.

These so-called notochord cells normally persist after birth and are lodged inside the spine and skull. In rare how can i buy levitra cases, they become malignant tumors. The tumors are generally slow-growing but tend to recur, and their proximity to critical structures such as the spinal cord, cranial nerves and brain stem make them difficult to treat. Median survival time is seven years after diagnosis.

Since chordoma is so rare, few models have existed to even study it outside cells in a petri dish, says Gallia, how can i buy levitra who together with colleagues last year developed a mouse model of the disorder. The model was created by implanting human tumor tissue into a mouse. The researchers began their drug studies by first examining the makeup of the tumor cells in their mouse model to determine what might be causing the cells to how can i buy levitra grow and divide uncontrolled. They saw that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway was active and suspected that it played a critical role in the malignancy.

Gallia and his colleagues tested two FDA-approved drugs known to inhibit EGFR and found that erlotinib was able to better slow the growth of chordoma than gefitinib. They then tested erlotinib in mice transplanted with human how can i buy levitra chordoma tumors. After 37 days of treatment, the average tumor volume in the control group was more than three times larger than in those animals that were treated with erlotinib. Further research indicated that EGFR activation was how can i buy levitra significantly reduced.

€œWe hit our target,” Gallia says. €œIt drastically reduced the growth of the tumors.” Gallia says he hopes his findings will lead to testing in chordoma patients. Although a controlled clinical trial would be ideal, he says it may how can i buy levitra be difficult to get funding to test treatments for such a rare disease. Alternatively, he says he hopes erlotinib might be used in selected patients whose tumors are shown to have active EGFRs and who have run out of other treatment options.

This research was supported by the Chordoma how can i buy levitra Foundation as well as Dr. And Mrs. Irving J. Sherman.

In a pilot study, the “PapGene” test, which relies on genomic sequencing of cancer-specific mutations, accurately detected all 24 (100 percent) endometrial cancers and nine of 22 (41 percent) ovarian cancers. Results of the experiments are published in the Jan. 9 issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine. The investigators note that larger-scale studies are needed before clinical implementation can begin, but they believe the test has the potential to pioneer genomic-based cancer screening tests.

The Papanicolaou (Pap) test, during which cells collected from the cervix are examined for microscopic signs of cancer, is widely and successfully used to screen for cervical cancers. However, no routine screening method is available for ovarian or endometrial cancers. Since the Pap test occasionally contains cells shed from the ovaries or endometrium, cancer cells arising from these organs could be present in the fluid as well, says Luis Diaz, M.D., associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins, as well as director of translational medicine at the Ludwig Center for Cancer Genetics and Therapeutics and director of the Swim Across America Laboratory, also at Johns Hopkins. The laboratory is sponsored by a volunteer organization that raises funds for cancer research through swim events.

€œOur genomic sequencing approach may offer the potential to detect these cancer cells in a scalable and cost-effective way,” adds Diaz. Hear Diaz discuss the research in this podcast, courtesy of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and watch an animation describing the PapGene test. Cervical fluid of patients with gynecologic cancer carries normal cellular DNA mixed together with DNA from cancer cells, according to the investigators. The investigators’ task was to use genomic sequencing to distinguish cancerous from normal DNA.

The scientists had to determine the most common genetic changes in ovarian and endometrial cancers in order to prioritize which genomic regions to include in their test. They searched publicly available genome-wide studies of ovarian cancer, including those done by other Johns Hopkins investigators, to find mutations specific to ovarian cancer. Such genome-wide studies were not available for the most common type of endometrial cancer, so they conducted genome-wide sequencing studies on 22 of these endometrial cancers. From the ovarian and endometrial cancer genome data, the Johns Hopkins-led team identified 12 of the most frequently mutated genes in both cancers and developed the PapGene test with this insight in mind.

The investigators then applied PapGene on Pap test samples from ovarian and endometrial cancer patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the University of São Paulo in Brazil and ILSbio, a tissue bank. The new test detected both early- and late-stage disease in the endometrial and ovarian cancers tested. No healthy women in the control group were misclassified as having cancer. The investigators’ next steps include applying PapGene on more samples and working to increase the test’s sensitivity in detecting ovarian cancer.

€œPerforming the test at different times during the menstrual cycle, inserting the cervical brush deeper into the cervical canal, and assessing more regions of the genome may boost the sensitivity,” says Chetan Bettegowda, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins and a member of the Ludwig Center as well. Together, ovarian and endometrial cancers are diagnosed in nearly 70,000 women in the United States each year, and about one-third of them will die from it. €œGenomic-based tests could help detect ovarian and endometrial cancers early enough to cure more of them,” says graduate student Yuxuan Wang, who notes that the cost of the test could be similar to current cervical fluid HPV testing, which is less than $100. PapGene is a high-sensitivity approach for the detection of cancer-specific DNA mutations, according to the investigators.

However, false mutations can be erroneously created during the many steps — including amplification, sequencing and analysis — required to prepare the DNA collected from a Pap test specimen for sequencing. This required the investigators to build a safeguard into PapGene’s sequencing method, designed to weed out artifacts that could lead to misleading test results. €œIf unaccounted for, artifacts could lead to a false positive test result and incorrectly indicate that a healthy person has cancer,” says graduate student Isaac Kinde. Kinde added a unique genetic barcode — a random set of 14 DNA base pairs — to each DNA fragment at an initial stage of the sample preparation process.

Although each DNA fragment is copied many times before eventually being sequenced, all of the newly copied DNA can be traced back to one original DNA molecule through their genetic barcodes. If the copies originating from the same DNA molecule do not all contain the same mutation, then an artifact is suspected and the mutation is disregarded. However, bonafide mutations, which exist in the sample before the initial barcoding step, will be present in all of the copies originating from the original DNA molecule.

Hear Diaz discuss the research in this podcast, courtesy of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and watch an animation describing the PapGene test. Cervical fluid of patients with gynecologic cancer carries normal cellular DNA mixed together with DNA from cancer cells, according to the investigators.

The investigators’ task was to use genomic sequencing to distinguish cancerous from normal DNA. The scientists had to determine the most common genetic changes in ovarian and endometrial cancers in order to prioritize which genomic regions to include in their test. They searched publicly available genome-wide studies of ovarian cancer, including those done by other Johns Hopkins investigators, to find mutations specific to ovarian cancer.

Such genome-wide studies were not available for the most common type of endometrial cancer, so they conducted genome-wide sequencing studies on 22 of these endometrial cancers. From the ovarian and endometrial cancer genome data, the Johns Hopkins-led team identified 12 of the most frequently mutated genes in both cancers and developed the PapGene test with this insight in mind. The investigators then applied PapGene on Pap test samples from ovarian and endometrial cancer patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the University of São Paulo in Brazil and ILSbio, a tissue bank.

The new test detected both early- and late-stage disease in the endometrial and ovarian cancers tested. No healthy women in the control group were misclassified as having cancer. The investigators’ next steps include applying PapGene on more samples and working to increase the test’s sensitivity in detecting ovarian cancer.

€œPerforming the test at different times during the menstrual cycle, inserting the cervical brush deeper into the cervical canal, and assessing more regions of the genome may boost the sensitivity,” says Chetan Bettegowda, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins and a member of the Ludwig Center as well. Together, ovarian and endometrial cancers are diagnosed in nearly 70,000 women in the United States each year, and about one-third of them will die from it. €œGenomic-based tests could help detect ovarian and endometrial cancers early enough to cure more of them,” says graduate student Yuxuan Wang, who notes that the cost of the test could be similar to current cervical fluid HPV testing, which is less than $100.

PapGene is a high-sensitivity approach for the detection of cancer-specific DNA mutations, according to the investigators. However, false mutations can be erroneously created during the many steps — including amplification, sequencing and analysis — required to prepare the DNA collected from a Pap test specimen for sequencing. This required the investigators to build a safeguard into PapGene’s sequencing method, designed to weed out artifacts that could lead to misleading test results.

€œIf unaccounted for, artifacts could lead to a false positive test result and incorrectly indicate that a healthy person has cancer,” says graduate student Isaac Kinde. Kinde added a unique genetic barcode — a random set of 14 DNA base pairs — to each DNA fragment at an initial stage of the sample preparation process. Although each DNA fragment is copied many times before eventually being sequenced, all of the newly copied DNA can be traced back to one original DNA molecule through their genetic barcodes.

If the copies originating from the same DNA molecule do not all contain the same mutation, then an artifact is suspected and the mutation is disregarded. However, bonafide mutations, which exist in the sample before the initial barcoding step, will be present in all of the copies originating from the original DNA molecule.

IStock Share Fast Facts New @HopkinsMedicine study finds African-American women with common form of hair loss at increased risk of uterine fibroids - Click to Tweet New study in @JAMADerm shows most common form of alopecia (hair loss) in African-American women associated with higher risks of uterine fibroids - Click to Tweet In a study of medical records gathered on hundreds of thousands of African-American women, Johns Hopkins researchers say they have evidence that women with a common form of hair loss have an increased chance of developing uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids.In a report on the research, published in the December 27 issue of JAMA Dermatology, the researchers call on physicians who treat women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) to make patients aware that they may be at increased risk for fibroids and should be screened for the condition, particularly if they have symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pain. CCCA predominantly affects black women and is the most common form of permanent alopecia in this population.

The excess scar tissue that forms as a result of this type of hair loss may also explain the higher risk for uterine fibroids, which are characterized by fibrous growths in the lining of the womb. Crystal Aguh, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says the scarring associated with CCCA is similar to the scarring associated with excess fibrous tissue elsewhere in the body, a situation that may explain why women with this type of hair loss are at a higher risk for fibroids.People of African descent, she notes, are more prone to develop other disorders of abnormal scarring, termed fibroproliferative disorders, such as keloids (a type of raised scar after trauma), scleroderma (an autoimmune disorder marked by thickening of the skin as well as internal organs), some types of lupus and clogged arteries. During a four-year period from 2013-2017, the researchers analyzed patient data from the Johns Hopkins electronic medical record system (Epic) of 487,104 black women ages 18 and over.

The prevalence of those with fibroids was compared in patients with and without CCCA. Overall, the researchers found that 13.9 percent of women with CCCA also had a history of uterine fibroids compared to only 3.3 percent of black women without the condition. In absolute numbers, out of the 486,000 women who were reviewed, 16,212 had fibroids.Within that population, 447 had CCCA, of which 62 had fibroids.

The findings translate to a fivefold increased risk of uterine fibroids in women with CCCA, compared to age, sex and race matched controls. Aguh cautions that their study does not suggest any cause and effect relationship, or prove a common cause for both conditions. €œThe cause of the link between the two conditions remains unclear,” she says.

However, the association was strong enough, she adds, to recommend that physicians and patients be made aware of it. Women with this type of scarring alopecia should be screened not only for fibroids, but also for other disorders associated with excess fibrous tissue, Aguh says. An estimated 70 percent of white women and between 80 and 90 percent of African-American women will develop fibroids by age 50, according to the NIH, and while CCCA is likely underdiagnosed, some estimates report a prevalence of rates as high as 17 percent of black women having this condition.

The New England Journal of Medicine Share Fast Facts This study clears up how big an effect the mutational burden has on outcomes to immune checkpoint inhibitors across many different cancer types. - Click to Tweet The number of mutations in a tumor’s DNA is a good predictor of whether it will respond to a class of cancer immunotherapy drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors. - Click to Tweet The “mutational burden,” or the number of mutations present in a tumor’s DNA, is a good predictor of whether that cancer type will respond to a class of cancer immunotherapy drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors, a new study led by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers shows.

The finding, published in the Dec. 21 New England Journal of Medicine, could be used to guide future clinical trials for these drugs. Checkpoint inhibitors are a relatively new class of drug that helps the immune system recognize cancer by interfering with mechanisms cancer cells use to hide from immune cells.

As a result, the drugs cause the immune system to fight cancer in the same way that it would fight an . These medicines have had remarkable success in treating some types of cancers that historically have had poor prognoses, such as advanced melanoma and lung cancer. However, these therapies have had little effect on other deadly cancer types, such as pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma.

The mutational burden of certain tumor types has previously been proposed as an explanation for why certain cancers respond better than others to immune checkpoint inhibitors says study leader Mark Yarchoan, M.D., chief medical oncology fellow. Work by Dung Le, M.D., associate professor of oncology, and other researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Cancer Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy showed that colon cancers that carry a high number of mutations are more likely to respond to checkpoint inhibitors than those that have fewer mutations. However, exactly how big an effect the mutational burden has on outcomes to immune checkpoint inhibitors across many different cancer types was unclear.

To investigate this question, Yarchoan and colleagues Alexander Hopkins, Ph.D., research fellow, and Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., co-director of the Skip Viragh Center for Pancreas Cancer Clinical Research and Patient Care and associate director of the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute, combed the medical literature for the results of clinical trials using checkpoint inhibitors on various different types of cancer. They combined these findings with data on the mutational burden of thousands of tumor samples from patients with different tumor types. Analyzing 27 different cancer types for which both pieces of information were available, the researchers found a strong correlation.

The higher a cancer type’s mutational burden tends to be, the more likely it is to respond to checkpoint inhibitors. More than half of the differences in how well cancers responded to immune checkpoint inhibitors could be explained by the mutational burden of that cancer. €œThe idea that a tumor type with more mutations might be easier to treat than one with fewer sounds a little counterintuitive.

It’s one of those things that doesn’t sound right when you hear it,” says Hopkins. €œBut with immunotherapy, the more mutations you have, the more chances the immune system has to recognize the tumor.” Although this finding held true for the vast majority of cancer types they studied, there were some outliers in their analysis, says Yarchoan. For example, Merkel cell cancer, a rare and highly aggressive skin cancer, tends to have a moderate number of mutations yet responds extremely well to checkpoint inhibitors.

However, he explains, this cancer type is often caused by a levitra, which seems to encourage a strong immune response despite the cancer’s lower mutational burden. In contrast, the most common type of colorectal cancer has moderate mutational burden, yet responds poorly to checkpoint inhibitors for reasons that are still unclear. Yarchoan notes that these findings could help guide clinical trials to test checkpoint inhibitors on cancer types for which these drugs haven’t yet been tried.

Future studies might also focus on finding ways to prompt cancers with low mutational burdens to behave like those with higher mutational burdens so that they will respond better to these therapies. He and his colleagues plan to extend this line of research by investigating whether mutational burden might be a good predictor of whether cancers in individual patients might respond well to this class of immunotherapy drugs. €œThe end goal is precision medicine—moving beyond what’s true for big groups of patients to see whether we can use this information to help any given patient,” he says.
