    Abstract Postaxial polydactyly (PAP) is characterized by the presence of one or more extra ulnar or fibular digits or parts of it. PAP type B presents frequently as a skin tag on the hand(s). It is usually an isolated malformation, but in 6.6% it is associated with other congenital abnormalities, mostly well recognizable syndromes. We present a male with PAP-B only and his daughter with an extended phenotype including mental retardation and minor dysmorphisms. Both share a cytogenetically balanced t(4;7)(p15.2;q35), present in mosaicism in the father. We found microdeletions associated with the breakpoints. The chromosomal regions described here have not been previously associated with the PAP-B phenotype. We present the first case of an individual with isolated PAP-B and a submicroscopic chromosome abnormality.

    Abstract Postaxial polydactyly is characterised by fifth digit duplications in hands and/or feet. Two phenotypic varieties have been described. In type A, the extra digit is well formed and articulates with the fifth or an extra metacarpal. A rudimentary extra fifth digit characterises type B. Mutations in the GLI3 gene are associated with postaxial polydactyly in some families and a second locus has been identified on chromosome 13 but the majority of cases remain unexplained. We report here a third locus for postaxial polydactyly on chromosome 19p13.1-13.2 in a large Chinese kindred with a combination of type A and B. Two-point linkage analysis showed the highest LOD score (Z(max) = 5.85 at theta; = 0 cM) at marker D19S221. Recombination events with markers D19S1165 and D19S929 define the critical region for this postaxial polydactyly locus to a region of 4.3 cM on the genetic map.

    Abstract Postaxial polydactyly (PAP) is the occurrence of one or more extra ulnar or fibular digits or parts of it. In PAP-A, the extra digit is fully developed and articulates with the fifth or an additional metacarpal/metatarsal, while it is rudimentary in PAP-B. Isolated PAP usually segregates as an autosomal dominant trait, with variable expression. Three loci are known for PAP in humans. PAPA1 (including PAP-A/B in one patient) on 7p13 caused by mutations in the GLI3 gene, PAPA2 on 13q21-q32 in a Turkish kindred with PAP-A only, and a third one (PAPA3) in a Chinese family with PAP-A/B on 19p13.1-13.2. We identified a fourth locus in a large Dutch six-generation family with 31 individuals including 11 affecteds. Their phenotype varied from either PAP-A, or PAP-B to PAP-A/B with or without the co-occurence of partial cutaneous syndactyly. We performed a whole-genome search and found linkage between PAP and markers on chromosome 7q. The highest LOD score was 3.34 obtained at D7S1799 and D7S500 with multipoint analysis.

    Abstract Introduction: We present a case of dual drainage of the right upper lobe of the lung into the left atrium and via partial anomalous venous pulmonary return (PAPVR) into a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC).
    Discussion: It is only in the minority of PAPVR cases where the anomalous pulmonary veins cross the midline. We provide a review of current literature on this topic and an explanatory embryological model. Knowledge of embryonic development and possible anatomic variations, including the concept of dual venous drainage of the lung, leads to better interpretation of imaging, with more accurate description of the morphology at hand. High-resolution multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) helps to delineate the exact vascular anatomy. This will enhance a better understanding of and anticipation on the patient's disease status, with more accurate planning of intervention, and possibly less complications.

    Abstract Background: The ability to view the posterior segment in keratoprosthesis (Kpro) implanted patients is limited. The purpose of this retrospective, observational study was to investigate the use of ultra-wide field (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy imaging and its utility for serial evaluation of the retina and optic nerve in patients with either a Boston type I or II Kpro.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients with a Boston type I or II Kpro seen at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Images were graded for quality by two masked observers on a defined four-point scale ("Poor", "Fair", "Good", or "Very good") and assessed for visible posterior segment anatomy. Interobserver agreement was described using the Kappa statistic coefficient (κ) with 95% confidence intervals.
    Results: A total of 19 eyes from 17 patients were included in this study. Eighteen eyes had a type I Kpro, while one eye had a type II Kpro. UWF imaging from 41 patient visits were reviewed by two observers. Interobserver agreement between the two graders was fair for image quality (κ = 0.36), moderate for visibility of the macula with discernible details (κ = 0.59), moderate for visibility of the anterior retina with discernable details (κ = 0.60), and perfect agreement for visibility of the optic nerve with discernible details (κ = 1.0). In 6 eyes, UWF imaging was performed longitudinally (range 3-9 individual visits), allowing for long-term follow-up (range 3-46 months) of posterior segment clinical pathology.
    Conclusions: UWF imaging provides adequate and reliable visualization of the posterior segment in Kpro implanted patients. This imaging modality allowed for noninvasive longitudinal monitoring of retinal and optic nerve disease in this selected patient population.

    Abstract Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are disease states with distinctive features but overlapping clinical manifestations. Currently, studies on the presence of underlying SVT in patients with POTS are lacking. This retrospective study analyzed 64 patients [mean age: 43 years; 41 (61%) women] who had a POTS diagnosis and were found to have concomitant SVT during rhythm monitoring from September 1, 2013 to September 30, 2019 at our Syncope and Autonomic Disorders Clinic. The outcomes assessed were changes in disease severity, frequency of symptoms, heart rate, and blood pressure between before and after SVT ablation. The most frequent types of SVT noted on the electrophysiologic study were atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (57.81%), atrial flutter (29.68%), atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (9.37%), atrial tachycardia (1.56%), and junctional tachycardia (1.56%). After SVT ablation, all 64 patients experienced an improvement in symptoms. Palpitations and lightheadedness experienced the most improvement after the procedure (72% vs. 31%; p < 0.001 and 63% vs. 22%; p < 0.001, respectively). There was a significant improvement in the resting heart rate (81.1 ± 12.8 vs. 75.8 ± 15.6 bpm; p < 0.002), but the orthostatic tachycardia on standing persisted (93.6 ± 16.5 vs. 77.3 ± 19.8 bpm; p = 0.14). Underlying SVT in patients with POTS can be missed easily. A strong suspicion and long-term ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring can help in diagnosing the condition.

    Abstract Premature loss of sister chromatid cohesion at metaphase is a diagnostic marker for different cohesinopathies. Here, we report that metaphase spreads of many cancer cell lines also show premature loss of sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesion loss occurs independently of mutations in cohesion factors including SA2, a cohesin subunit frequently inactivated in cancer. In untransformed cells, induction of DNA replication stress by activation of oncogenes or inhibition of DNA replication is sufficient to trigger sister chromatid cohesion loss. Importantly, cell growth under conditions of replication stress requires the cohesin remover WAPL. WAPL promotes rapid RAD51-dependent repair and restart of broken replication forks. We propose that active removal of cohesin allows cancer cells to overcome DNA replication stress. This leads to oncogene-induced cohesion loss from newly synthesized sister chromatids that may contribute to genomic instability and likely represents a targetable cancer cell vulnerability.

    Abstract Due to advancements in ultrasound techniques, the focus of antenatal ultrasound screening is moving towards the first trimester of pregnancy. The early first trimester however remains in part, a 'black box', due to the size of the developing embryo and the limitations of contemporary scanning techniques. Therefore there is a need for images of early anatomical developmental to improve our understanding of this area. By using new imaging techniques, we can not only obtain better images to further our knowledge of early embryonic development, but clear images of embryonic and fetal development can also be used in training for e.g. sonographers and fetal surgeons, or to educate parents expecting a child with a fetal anomaly. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the past, present and future techniques used to capture images of the developing human embryo and fetus and provide the reader newest insights in upcoming and promising imaging techniques. The reader is taken from the earliest drawings of da Vinci, along the advancements in the fields of in utero ultrasound and MR imaging techniques towards high-resolution ex utero imaging using Micro-CT and ultra-high field MRI. Finally, a future perspective is given about the use of artificial intelligence in ultrasound and new potential imaging techniques such as synchrotron radiation-based CT to increase our knowledge regarding human development.
