    Abstract Male factor infertility accounts for approximately 50% of all infertility evaluations. A common cause of severe oligozoospermia and azoospermia is Y chromosome microdeletions (YCMs). Men with these genetic microdeletions must typically undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures to obtain paternity. In this review, we performed a thorough and extensive search of the literature to summarize the effects of YCMs on

    Abstract Traumatic thumb injuries often result in significant functional disability. With segmental bone loss, reconstructive options include antibiotic cement with delayed bone graft, revision amputation with webspace deepening, metacarpal distraction osteogenesis, index pollicization, bone flap, and free toe transfer. We present a case of a subtotal thumb amputation just distal to the metacarpal phalangeal joint resulting in loss of both soft tissue and a segmental bone defect of the proximal and distal phalanx. Reconstruction was initially performed with a chimeric bone free flap from the medial femoral condyle with a vastus medialis muscle cuff to provide soft tissue coverage. A revision soft tissue coverage procedure was required and a radial forearm free flap was utilized. His reconstruction restored his missing bone and soft tissue, and provided stability with sufficient grip strength and metacarpophalangeal function resulting in a satisfactory functional outcome.

    Abstract Outpatient burn surgery is increasingly used in acute burn care. Reports of its safety and efficacy are limited. This study aims to evaluate the safety and cost reduction associated with outpatient burn surgery and to describe our center's experience. This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent outpatient burn surgery requiring split-thickness skin graft or dermal regenerative template from January 2010 to December 2018. Patient demographics, comorbidities, burn etiologies, operative data, and postoperative care were reviewed. The primary outcome is complications involving major graft loss requiring reoperation. One hundred and sixty-five patients and 173 procedures met the inclusion criteria. The average age was 44 years and 60.6% (100/165) were male. Annual outpatient procedure volume increased 48% from 23 to 34 cases over the 9-year period. The median (interquartile range) grafted percentage total body surface area was 1.0 (1.0)%. Rate of major graft loss requiring reoperation was 5.2% (9/172) and the most common site was the lower extremity (8/9, 88.9%). Age, sex, comorbidities, total body surface area, and procedure types were not significantly associated with postoperative complication rates. The outpatient burn surgery model was estimated to save CA$8170 per patient from inpatient costs. Demonstration of the safety and cost savings associated with outpatient acute burn surgery is compelling for further utilization. Our experience found the adoption of improved dressing care, appropriate patient selection, increased patient education, adequate pain control, and regimented outpatient multidisciplinary care to be fundamental for effective outpatient surgical burn care.

    Abstract Background: The emergence of the novel virus, SARS-CoV-2, has posed unprecedented challenges to public health around the world. Currently, strategies to deal with COVID-19 are purely supportive and preventative, aimed at reducing transmission. An effective and simple method for reducing transmission of infections in public or healthcare settings is hand hygiene. Unfortunately, little is known regarding the efficacy of hand sanitizers against SARS-CoV-2.
    Methods: In this review, an extensive literature search was performed to succinctly summarize the primary active ingredients and mechanisms of action of hand sanitizers, compare the effectiveness and compliance of gel and foam sanitizers, and predict whether alcohol and non-alcohol hand sanitizers would be effective against SARS-CoV-2.
    Results: Most alcohol-based hand sanitizers are effective at inactivating enveloped viruses, including coronaviruses. With what is currently known in the literature, one may not confidently suggest one mode of hand sanitizing delivery over the other. When hand washing with soap and water is unavailable, a sufficient volume of sanitizer is necessary to ensure complete hand coverage, and compliance is critical for appropriate hand hygiene.
    Conclusions: By extrapolating effectiveness of hand sanitizers on viruses of similar structure to SARS-CoV-2, this virus should be effectively inactivated with current hand hygiene products, though future research should attempt to determine this directly.

    Abstract In this review of Y chromosome microdeletions, azoospermia factor (AZF) deletion subtypes, histological features and microTESE sperm retrieval rates are summarized after a systematic literature review. PubMed was searched and papers were identified using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Approximately half of infertile couples have a male factor contributing to their infertility. One of the most common genetic etiologies are Y chromosome microdeletions. Men with Y chromosome microdeletions may have rare sperm available in the ejaculate or undergo surgical sperm retrieval and subsequent intracytoplasmic sperm injection to produce offspring. Azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia are the most common semen analysis findings found in men with Y chromosome microdeletions, associated with impaired spermatogenesis. Men with complete deletions of azoospermia factor a, b, or a combination of any loci have severely impaired spermatogenesis and are nearly always azoospermic with no sperm retrievable from the testis. Deletions of the azoospermia factor c or d often have sperm production and the highest likelihood of a successful sperm retrieval. In men with AZFc deletions, histologically, 46% of men demonstrate Sertoli cell only syndrome on biopsy, whereas 38.2% have maturation arrest and 15.7% have hypospermatogenesis. The microTESE sperm retrieval rates in AZFc-deleted men range from 13-100% based on the 32 studies analyzed, with a mean sperm retrieval rate of 47%.

    Abstract Tissue repair is a very complex event and involves a continuously orchestrated sequence of signals and responses from platelets, fibroblasts, epithelial, endothelial and immune cells. The details of interaction between these signals, which are mainly growth factors and cytokines, have been widely discussed. However, it is still not clear how activated cells at wound sites lessen their activities after epithelialization is completed. Termination of the wound healing process requires a fine balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and degradation. Maintaining this balance requires highly accurate epithelial-mesenchymal communication and correct information exchange between keratinocytes and fibroblasts. As it has been reported in the literature, a disruption in epithelialization during the process of wound healing increases the frequency of developing chronic wounds or fibrotic conditions, as seen in a variety of clinical cases. Conversely, the potential stop signal for wound healing should have a regulatory role on both ECM synthesis and degradation to reach a successful wound healing outcome. This review briefly describes the potential roles of growth factors and cytokines in controlling the early phase of wound healing and predominantly explores the role of releasable factors from epithelial-mesenchymal interaction in controlling during and the late stage of the healing process. Emphasis will be given on the crosstalk between keratinocytes and fibroblasts in ECM modulation and the healing outcome following a brief discussion of the wound healing initiation mechanism. In particular, we will review the termination of acute dermal wound healing, which frequently leads to the development of hypertrophic scarring.

    Abstract Objective: This study investigated the effect of various histotripsy dosages on tumor cell kill and associated bleeding in two murine brain tumor models (glioma [Gl261] and lung metastasis [LL/2-Luc2]).
    Methods and materials: GL261 or LL/2-Luc2 cells were cultured and implanted into the brains of C57BL/6 mice. Histotripsy (1-cycle pulses, 5 Hz PRF, 30 MPa-P) was performed using a 1 MHz transducer for five different dosages for each cell line: 5, 20 or 200 pulses per location (PPL) at a single treatment point, or 5 or 10-20 PPL at multiple treatment points. MRI, bioluminescence imaging and histology were used to assess tumor ablation and treatment effects within 4-6 h post-treatment.
    Results: All treatment groups resulted in a reduction of BLI intensity for the LL/2-Luc2 tumors, with significant signal reductions for the multi-point groups. The average pre-/post-treatment BLI flux (photons/s, ×10
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that a lower number of histotripsy pulses at fewer focal locations can achieve substantial tumor kill while minimizing hemorrhage.
