    Abstract A 56-year-old man presented with subacute night sweats, fever, and weight loss with worsening dyspnea. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated miliary pattern of nodules evenly distributed throughout all lung fields. Given the patient’s CT findings and temporal association with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy for bladder cancer, the patient was diagnosed with disseminated Mycobacterium bovis secondary to BCG bladder instillations.

    Abstract Objective: Medial calcar buttress plating combined with lateral locked plating is biomechanically tested against isolated lateral locked plating in synthetic humeri models for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures.
    Methods: Proximal humerus fractures (OTA/AO type 11-A2.1) were manufactured in 10 pairs of Sawbones humeri models (Sawbones, Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon Island, WA). Specimen were randomly assigned and instrumented with either medial calcar buttress plating combined with lateral locked plating (CP) or isolated lateral locked plating (LP). Nondestructive torsional and axial load tests were performed to evaluate construct stiffness. Large-cycle axial tests were conducted followed by destructive ramp-to-failure tests. Cyclic stiffness was compared in both nondestructive and ultimate failure loads. Failure displacement was recorded and compared between groups.
    Results: The addition of medial calcar buttress plating to lateral locked plating constructs significantly increased the axial ( P < 0.01) and torsional ( P < 0.01) stiffness of the construct compared with isolated lateral locked plating by 95.56% and 37.46%, respectively. All models demonstrated greater axial stiffness ( P < 0.01) after 5000 cycles of axial compression, not dependent on the fixation method. During destructive testing, the CP construct withstood 45.35% larger load ( P < 0.01) and congruently exhibited 58% less humeral head displacement ( P = 0.02) before failure when compared with the LP construct.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates the biomechanical superiority of medial calcar buttress plating when combined with lateral locked plating as compared with isolated lateral locked plating of OTA/AO type 11-A2.1 proximal humerus in synthetic humeri models.

    Abstract We report on an adult with cystic fibrosis (ΔF508/G551D) with severe lung disease (forced expiratory volume (FEV1) in one second 24% predicted) who was admitted for a pulmonary exacerbation. He was managed with maximal medical therapy, but did not have significant improvement until after he was started on ivacaftor on hospital day 15. He subsequently had significant improvement in lung function with normalization of hypercarbia, oxygen saturation on room air, and increase in FEV1 to 36% predicted. Prior to use of ivacaftor he was being assessed for a lung transplant. However, after ivacaftor therapy for 6 months, he is no longer considering this treatment modality due to his improvement of lung function and functional status.

    Abstract Introduction: Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (FoCUS) is a relatively new technology that requires training and mentoring. The use of a FoCUS simulator is a novel training method that may prompt greater adoption of this technology by physicians at different levels of training and experience. The objective of this study was to determine if simulation training using an advanced echo simulator (Real Ultrasound®) is a feasible means of delivering training in FoCUS. Methods: Twenty-five residents and attending physicians participated in this study. After performing a pretest, training on the Real Ultrasound® was administered. Improvement was assessed immediately after simulator training. Additionally, some participants were retested six months after training to determine whether learned skills were retained. Results: Of the 25 participants recruited, all completed the pretest phase, and 17 completed the training and immediate posttest assessment. At pretest, the median angular deviation of acquired images from anatomically correct was 37°, which improved to 30° after training (p<0.002). Technical skill was largely maintained at six months of follow-up, with a median angle error of 27 and 31°, respectively (p=0.093) in 8 participants who completed the post and six-month retention assessments. The median pretest image interpretation score improved from 55% to 70% (p=0.028); median post and six month scores in the 8 participants were 72 and 68%, respectively (p=0.735). Conclusions: Simulation training in FoCUS significantly improves skills in image acquisition. These skills appear to be retained over time. This study adds support for the use of advanced echocardiographic simulators to enhance formal FoCUS training in a real-world setting.

    Abstract This is the first known community transmission case of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the United States, with significant public health implications. Diagnosis of COVID-19 is currently confirmed with PCR based testing of appropriate respiratory samples. Given the absence of travel or known exposure history, this patient did not meet the criteria for testing according to CDC guidelines at the time of her presentation. Since this case, any patient with severe disease (eg, ARDS or pneumonia) requiring hospitalization without an explanatory diagnosis can be tested even if no clear source of exposure is identified. While influencing national health policies for revising screening criteria, this case also highlighted significant knowledge gaps in diagnosis and treatment and a desperate need for early, widespread, fast and cheap testing for COVID-19.

    Abstract Geminiviruses encapsidate single-stranded DNA genomes that replicate in plant cell nuclei through double-stranded DNA intermediates that associate with cellular histone proteins to form minichromosomes. Like most plant viruses, geminiviruses are targeted by RNA silencing and encode suppressor proteins such as AL2 and L2 to counter this defense. These related proteins can suppress silencing by multiple mechanisms, one of which involves interacting with and inhibiting adenosine kinase (ADK), a cellular enzyme associated with the methyl cycle that generates S-adenosyl-methionine, an essential methyltransferase cofactor. Thus, we hypothesized that the viral genome is targeted by small-RNA-directed methylation. Here, we show that Arabidopsis plants with mutations in genes encoding cytosine or histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferases, RNA-directed methylation pathway components, or ADK are hypersensitive to geminivirus infection. We also demonstrate that viral DNA and associated histone H3 are methylated in infected plants and that cytosine methylation levels are significantly reduced in viral DNA isolated from methylation-deficient mutants. Finally, we demonstrate that Beet curly top virus L2- mutant DNA present in tissues that have recovered from infection is hypermethylated and that host recovery requires AGO4, a component of the RNA-directed methylation pathway. We propose that plants use chromatin methylation as a defense against DNA viruses, which geminiviruses counter by inhibiting global methylation. In addition, our results establish that geminiviruses can be useful models for genome methylation in plants and suggest that there are redundant pathways leading to cytosine methylation.
