    Abstract Background: Vitamin D is necessary for bone health and is potentially protective against a range of malignancies. Opinions are divided on whether the proposed optimal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level (≥ 32 ng mL⁻¹) is an appropriate and feasible target at population level.
    Objectives: We examined whether personal sunlight exposure levels can provide vitamin D sufficient (≥ 20 ng mL⁻¹) and optimal status in the U.K. public.
    Methods: This prospective cohort study measured circulating 25(OH)D monthly for 12 months in 125 white adults aged 20-60 years in Greater Manchester. Dietary vitamin D and personal ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure were assessed over 1-2 weeks in each season. The primary analysis determined the post-summer peak 25(OH)D required to maintain sufficiency in wintertime.
    Results: Dietary vitamin D remained low in all seasons (median 3·27 μg daily, range 2·76-4·15) while personal UVR exposure levels were high in spring and summer, low in autumn and negligible in winter. Mean 25(OH)D levels were highest in September [28·4 ng mL⁻¹; 28% optimal, zero deficient (<5 ng mL⁻¹)], and lowest in February (18·3 ng mL⁻¹; 7% optimal, 5% deficient). A February 25(OH)D level of 20 ng mL⁻¹ was achieved following a mean (95% confidence interval) late summer level of 30·4 (25·6-35·2) and 34·9 (27·9-41·9) ng mL⁻¹ in women and men, respectively, with 62% of variance explained by gender and September levels.
    Conclusions: Late summer 25(OH)D levels approximating the optimal range are required to retain sufficiency throughout the U.K. winter. Currently the majority of the population fails to reach this post-summer level and becomes vitamin D insufficient during the winter.

    Abstract Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma with higher recurrence of nasal polyps after surgery and severe asthma. Patients with CRSwNP and asthma should be screened for AERD by detailed history of aspirin/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reactions and review of medications that may mask aspirin reaction or directly by aspirin challenge. Treatment of AERD may require more intensive therapy, including endoscopic sinus surgery, daily aspirin therapy, leukotriene modifiers, or biologics.

    Abstract Incarcerated gravid uterus (IGU) is a rare and serious obstetric complication. IGU is defined as the entrapment of the gravid uterus between the pubic symphysis and the sacral promontory. The incidence of IGU is 1 in 3000-10 000 cases. IGU is associated with significant obstetric complications, including preterm labor, intrauterine fetal death, growth restriction, renal failure, uterine ischemia/rupture and thrombosis. Here, we present the case of a primigravida with urinary retention at 14 weeks. On transabdominal ultrasound at 19+5/7 weeks the cervix was difficult to visualize, and the anterior uterine wall appeared thickened. The bladder was elongated superior to the uterus and the placenta was low-lying. Initially the patient was managed with intermittent self-catheterization, and subsequently indwelling catheterization was required from 22 weeks. At 30 weeks, the patient was transferred to a tertiary center and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was preformed due to challenging visualization of the cervix on ultrasound and the patient's continued symptoms of constipation and recurrent urinary infections. The MRI found a retroflexed gravid uterus, with vagina and endocervix displaced anteriorly and compressed by the gravid uterus. The findings were consistent with an incarcerated uterus. The patient subsequently had positive urinary cultures for Pseudomonas and rising creatinine. Given the obstructive uropathy and associated morbidity and mortality, a plan for elective pre-term delivery at 33+6/7 weeks was made. Delivery was by midline laparotomy, normal anatomy was restored after manual evacuation of the fundus from below the sacral promontory, and an uncomplicated lower segment transverse uterine cesarean section was performed.

    Abstract Antarctic notothenioid fishes, inhabiting the oxygen-rich Southern Ocean, possess a polyglutamine and glutamic acid (poly Q/E) insertion mutation in the master transcriptional regulator of oxygen homeostasis, hypoxia- inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). To determine if this mutation impairs the ability of HIF-1 to regulate gene expression in response to hypoxia, we exposed Notothenia coriiceps, with a poly Q/E insertion mutation in HIF-1α that is 9 amino acids long, to hypoxia (2.3 mg L

    Abstract Mucinous (colloid) adenocarcinomas (MAs) are a rare histological subtype of tumors defined by extracellular mucin comprising more than 50% of the tumor. These tumors are on a continuum of mucin-producing malignancies with signet ring cell adenocarcinomas (SRCCs), which instead produce intracellular mucin. Mucin-containing cancers occur primarily in the stomach and colon, where for SRCCs, outcomes are relatively worse in the proximal stomach and the rectum. It is not known if MAs have similar outcomes. In this study, we use the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to examine the effects of tumor localization, age, sex, and stage on colorectal and gastric cancer outcomes for MAs. For right colon cancers, MAs are more common, particularly in females, and have slightly better or equivalent outcomes across all stages and ages compared to conventional adenocarcinomas, but outcomes are progressively worse compared to conventional adenocarcinomas for left colon and rectal cancers. Unlike SRCCs, MAs have similar outcomes to conventional adenocarcinomas in all stomach locations. Overall, these results suggest that MAs have an intrinsically different tumor biology in the left colon and rectum that promotes pathogenesis. Decoding this phenomenon could lead to more effectively tailored patient treatment regimens.

    Abstract Signet ring cell adenocarcinomas (SRCCs) are a rare and aggressive histological subtype of adenocarcinomas typically with poor prognosis usually secondary to late stage at detection. In the small bowel, they constitute only 1% of all malignancies. In the last decade, there have been multiple case reports and small case series that have identified SRCCs, typically in the ileum, in patients with Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a transmural inflammatory condition that normally manifests in the distal ileum and colon, and is known to temporally increase the risk of malignancy. Given the profound rarity of SRCCs, establishing an association between Crohn's disease and SRCC is challenging. In this study, we performed a systematic review of case reports and small case series describing small bowel SRCCs in Crohn's disease patients. Most cases were found in the distal/terminal ileum, at a mean age of 59 years old. Virtually all tumors were locally advanced (pathological T stage 3 and 4), typically with at least N1 nodal disease. Two case studies (one is a case-control study and the other a cohort design) demonstrated that small bowel SRCC, as opposed to conventional adenocarcinoma, was significantly correlated to a history of Crohn's disease (35% vs. 0%, 73.5% vs. 28.5%), with a propensity to arise in the ileum (95% vs. 30%, 66.7% vs. 42.1%), and at earlier mean age (43 vs. 68 years, 53.7 vs. 61.7 years). We additionally used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for insights into the clinicoepidemiological characteristics of ileum SRCCs. SRCCs composed 28.1% of all ileal SRCCs, compared to 11.0% for the adenocarcinomas, with a younger age at diagnosis (60.7 vs. 64.6 years), more distant disease at presentation (41.3% vs. 26.4%), and shorter overall median survival time (20 vs. 39 months). In summary, while there is limited direct evidence to support an association between small bowel SRCC and Crohn's disease, the phenomenon has been increasingly documented in the literature in the last decade. Clinicians treating Crohn's disease patients should consider this in their differential diagnosis, particularly when managing disease complications, as early detection and surgical intervention offer the best prognosis.

    Methods: To test the protocol in 6 healthy participants, we examined the quality of voxel-based maps of kinetic parameters in the brain generated using the two-tissue compartment model and compared estimated parameter values with previously published values. We also utilized data from a 36-min validation imaging window to compare (1) the modeled AIF against the input function measured in the validation window; and (2) the net influx rate ([Formula: see text]) computed using parameter estimates from the short imaging window against the net influx rate obtained using Patlak analysis in the validation window.
    Results: Compared to the AIF measured in the validation window, the input function estimated from the short imaging window achieved a mean area under the curve error of 9%. The voxel-wise Pearson's correlation between [Formula: see text] estimates from the short imaging window and the validation imaging window exceeded 0.95.
    Conclusion: The proposed 24-min triple injection protocol enables parametric
