    Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia subtype 37 (SCA37) is a rare disease originally identified in ataxia patients from the Iberian Peninsula with a pure cerebellar syndrome. SCA37 patients carry a pathogenic intronic (ATTTC)n repeat insertion flanked by two polymorphic (ATTTT)n repeats in the Disabled-1 (DAB1) gene leading to cerebellar dysregulation. Herein, we determine the precise configuration of the pathogenic 5'(ATTTT)n-(ATTTC)n-3'(ATTTT)n SCA37 alleles by CRISPR-Cas9 and long-read nanopore sequencing, reveal their epigenomic signatures in SCA37 lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and cerebellar samples, and establish new molecular and clinical correlations. The 5'(ATTTT)n-(ATTTC)n-3'(ATTTT)n pathogenic allele configurations revealed repeat instability and differential methylation signatures. Disease age of onset negatively correlated with the (ATTTC)n, and positively correlated with the 3'(ATTTT)n. Geographic origin and gender significantly correlated with age of onset. Furthermore, significant predictive regression models were obtained by machine learning for age of onset and disease evolution by considering gender, the (ATTTC)n, the 3'(ATTTT)n, and seven CpG positions differentially methylated in SCA37 cerebellum. A common 964-kb genomic region spanning the (ATTTC)n insertion was identified in all SCA37 patients analysed from Portugal and Spain, evidencing a common origin of the SCA37 mutation in the Iberian Peninsula originating 859 years ago (95% CI 647-1378). In conclusion, we demonstrate an accurate determination of the size and configuration of the regulatory 5'(ATTTT)n-(ATTTC)n-3'(ATTTT)n repeat tract, avoiding PCR bias amplification using CRISPR/Cas9-enrichment and nanopore long-read sequencing, resulting relevant for accurate genetic diagnosis of SCA37. Moreover, we determine novel significant genotype-phenotype correlations in SCA37 and identify differential cerebellar allele-specific methylation signatures that may underlie DAB1 pathogenic dysregulation.

    Abstract Background/aim: Training endoscopists to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is critical to address the increasing patient population with pancreatobiliary diseases. Concerns remain about ERCP safety and success involving trainees. We compared the technical success and immediate adverse events between ERCP with and without trainee involvement.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of 28,271 ERCP procedures in a national sample of the United States over 12 years. Demographics, procedure and fluoroscopy time, visualization and cannulation of main structures, adverse events, and technical success rates were compared between ERCP with and without trainees. Categorical variables were compared using Pearson's chi-square test and continuous variables using a standard t-test. Univariate and multivariate regressions were performed adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, US region, ASA class and clinical setting.
    Results: Approximately 49.5% of ERCPs had a trainee involved. The ampulla was visualized in 97.4% with trainee vs. 97.3% without trainee involvement (P = 0.858). The common bile duct was visualized and cannulated in 90.4% with trainees vs. 91.7% without trainees involved (P < 0.001). The ERCP was incomplete in 5.9% of cases with trainees vs. 6.4% without trainees involved (P = 0.207). Trainee participation added 8.7 min to average procedure time (aOR: 1.02, P < 0.001) and 2.0 min to fluoroscopy time (aOR: 1.00, P = 0.796). Adverse events (aOR: 0.89, P = 0.704) and technical success (aOR: 0.83, P = 0.571) were similar in both groups.
    Conclusions: Trainee involvement leads to increased procedure duration but is not associated with increased immediate adverse events, or technical failure. Our study supports ERCP safety and success with trainee participation.

    Abstract Introduction: Open spina bifida (OSB) manifests as myelomeningocele (MMC) or myeloschisis (MS). Both lesions theoretically leak cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and produce different degrees of Chiari II malformation (CHMII). However, it is not entirely clear whether these forms of OSB have different clinical manifestations. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and/or radiological differences between myeloschisis and myelomeningocele in patients who underwent prenatal OSB repair.
    Methods: A total of 71 prenatal repairs were performed with the open technique at the Public Hospital of Rancagua, Chile, between 2012 and 2022. We performed follow-up MRI imaging of fetuses that qualified for prenatal OSB repair surgery. We examined the correlations between various anthropomorphic measurements and clinical and imaging variables, such as the type of lesion and dimensions such as ventricle atrium diameter, degree of severity of CHMII, need for CSF shunt at 12 months, and walking at 30 months.
    Results: This study included 71 fetuses with OSB for which 38 MRI examinations were analyzed; 61% (43/71) of lesions were MMC and 39% (28/71) were MS. Grade 3 (severe) CHMII were found in 80% (12/15) of MS and 43% (10/23) of MMC (p<0.05). Fetuses with an atrial diameter less than 13.48 mm had a lower probability of requiring a CSF shunt at 12 months (p<0.05). MMC was associated with a higher frequency of clubfoot at birth (p<0.05), whereas MS was significantly associated with more severe CHMII (p<0.05). Although the correlations were not significant, we observed clear trends that more children with MS required shunts at 12 months and could walk at 30 months compared to children with MMC.
    Conclusions: MS and MMC are distinct subtypes of OSB. Further studies of larger cohorts that include biomolecular and histological analysis are required to better understand differences between these lesions. This study may enable healthcare providers to better advise parents and prepare healthcare teams earlier for the management of patients undergoing prenatal repair of OSB.

    Abstract The design of hydrogels based on natural polymers that have modulation of antibacterial capacity, ideal performance in release capacity of encapsulated drugs, and desired bioactivity for applications in wound healing represents a modern trend in biomaterials. In this work, novel hydrogels of semi-interpenetrating polymeric networks based on collagen and xanthan gum (XG) were investigated. The linear chains of XG can semi-interpenetrate inside to matrix of crosslinked collagen with polyurethane under physiological conditions, generating amorphous surfaces with fibrillar-granular reliefs that have accelerated gelation time (about 15 min), super water absorption (up to 3100%) and high inhibition capacity of pathogenic bacteria such as

    Abstract Esta investigación se fundamenta en el diseño de una ruta gastronómica del Cantón Cayambe Provincia de Pichincha Ecuador a partir de las potencialidades territoriales presentes en la localidad desde el punto de vista ambiental, gastronómico y turístico, además se analizó la ruta epistemológica que sustenta la investigación desde el enfoque introspectivo vivencial, a través de la teoría fundamentada como método cualitativo para la generación del diseño de esta ruta, así como establecer las técnicas e instrumentos con las cuales se recopiló la información por medio de la aplicación de la codificación abierta, axial y selectiva para lograr los objetivos antes mencionados, se sustentó en los aportes teóricos de Paz Sandin (2003), Glaser y Strauss (1967), Strauss and Corbin (1996). Como objetivo de la investigación se plante diseñar una ruta gastronómica a partir de las potencialidades territoriales presentes en el cantón Cayambe. Como resultado obtenido de la codificación selectiva emergieron siete categorías en las cuales se logra plasmar las potencialidades territoriales tales como los recursos alimentarios, económicos, medioambientales, geográficas, culinarias, étnicas, sostenibles, turísticas y el patrimonio intangible y que a través de estas emergen la ruta gastronómica y las tres zonas de estudio que son parte del Cantón Cayambe como una nueva alternativa de planificación territorial del turismo gastronómico.
