    Abstract BDSM practitioners represent a large sexual minority group often overlooked, misunderstood, and unnecessarily pathologized by mental health clinicians. Although developing cultural competence for diverse and marginalized populations is widely understood to be a core component of delivering efficacious therapeutic services that can counteract these stigmatizing mental healthcare experiences, no measures currently exist that assess clinicians' self-reported competence to work with BDSM practitioners. Previous measurement work has been done to establish self-report competency scales for clinicians working with other sexual and gender minority groups, but no such scales exist for working with BDSM practitioners. In the current study, we adapted a version of the Sexual Orientation Counselor Competency Scale (SOCCS) to measure clinicians' self-reported competence to work with BDSM practitioners and did a preliminary exploratory factor analysis of the new scale (n = 124). After an initial 24-item administration, principal axis factoring of our final 17-item solution revealed two latent factors (attitudes and skills/knowledge) consistent with the 2013 SOCCS and the theoretical constructs of cultural competency. The BDSM Counselor Competency Scale (BDSM-CCS) can help clinicians, practices, agencies, and training programs track self-reported cultural competence with the BDSM population. Future research directions for scale development and clinical and training applications are discussed.

    Abstract Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is an alternative to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Careful patient selection is critical as patient age, etiology of hydrocephalus, and previous shunting have been shown to influence ETV success rates. Intraoperatively, patient anatomy and medical stability may prevent or limit the completion of the ventriculostomy procedure, and findings such as a patulous third ventricular floor or cisternal scarring may portend a lower chance of successful hydrocephalus treatment. Patients in whom a ventriculostomy is completed may still experience continued symptoms of hydrocephalus or CSF leak, representing an early ETV failure. In other patients, the ETV may prove a durable treatment of hydrocephalus for several months or even years before recurrence of hydrocephalus symptoms. The failure pattern for ETV is different than that of shunting, with a higher early failure rate but improved long-term failure-free survival rates. The risk factors for failure, along with the presentation and management of failure, deserve review.

    Abstract Pilomatricomas are benign tumors of the hair follicle that occur frequently in the scalp region. They occur most often in children. We describe a case of pilomatricoma in a teenager, referred to neurosurgery for excision. This diagnosis should be considered in the workup of scalp lesions, and this case report should serve to draw attention to this entity.

    Abstract Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) are rare, generally benign, mixed neuronal-glial neoplasms occurring most often between 10 and 14 years of age. These lesions are classically cortically based and solitary, found preferentially in the temporal lobe, and most commonly present with seizures. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), these lesions are generally cystic and have variable contrast enhancement, which, when present, often involves the periphery. Rarely, lesions followed radiographically may demonstrate delayed contrast enhancement. Here, we present a case of multifocal DNETs involving the cerebellum that demonstrated delayed contrast enhancement. In addition, these occurred in a patient with Noonan syndrome (NS), a "RASopathy" disorder associated with low-grade glial and glioneuronal tumors. We present a summary of all previously reported cases of cerebellar DNETs. Our patient was successfully treated surgically and is doing well clinically, now one year status post his last procedure, and is being closely monitored with serial MRIs for progression. Gross total resection is often curative without adjuvant therapy for most DNETs. Our case emphasizes the importance of radiographic surveillance, as multifocality and recurrence may necessitate more than one procedure. Lastly, clinicians should be suspicious for DNETs and other low-grade glial tumors when treating patients with NS, acknowledging their predisposition for multifocal involvement and atypical presentations.

    Abstract Myelomeningoceles (MMCs) represent a localized failure of primary neurulation during the fourth week of embryonic development. There are a number of misconceptions concerning the proper identification, classification, and surgical repair of these lesions. To provide surgeons with a working knowledge of early neural embryology as it relates to MMC closure as a localized failure of primary neurulation. We review the embryology of early neural development as a means of providing neurosurgeons with a better understanding of MMC closure techniques. Early neural development predicts the anatomy of MMC and knowledge of embryology helps guide repair. Repair of MMC is enhanced by knowing early neural development.

    Abstract The availability of target cells expressing the HIV receptors CD4 and CCR5 in genital tissue is a critical determinant of HIV susceptibility during sexual transmission. Quantification of immune cells in genital tissue is therefore an important outcome for studies on HIV susceptibility and prevention. Immunofluorescence microscopy allows for precise visualization of immune cells in mucosal tissues; however, this technique is limited in clinical studies by the lack of an accurate, unbiased, high-throughput image analysis method. Current pixel-based thresholding methods for cell counting struggle in tissue regions with high cell density and autofluorescence, both of which are common features in genital tissue. We describe a deep-learning approach using the publicly available StarDist method to count cells in immunofluorescence microscopy images of foreskin stained for nuclei, CD3, CD4, and CCR5. The accuracy of the model was comparable to manual counting (gold standard) and surpassed the capability of a previously described pixel-based cell counting method. We show that the performance of our deep-learning model is robust in tissue regions with high cell density and high autofluorescence. Moreover, we show that this deep-learning analysis method is both easy to implement and to adapt for the identification of other cell types in genital mucosal tissue.
