    Abstract Background: This study reports long-term head and neck cancer (HNC) patient-reported symptoms using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Head and Neck Cancer Module (MDASI-HN) in a large cohort of HNC survivors.
    Methods: MDASI-HN results were prospectively collected from an institutional survivorship database. Associations with clinicopathologic data were analyzed using χ
    Results: Nine hundred and twenty-eight patients were included. Forty-six percent had oropharyngeal primary tumors. Eighty-two percent had squamous cell carcinoma. Fifty-six percent of patients had ablative surgery and 81% had radiation therapy as a component of treatment. The most severe symptoms were xerostomia and dysphagia. Symptom scores were worst for hypopharynx and varied by subsite. Patients treated with chemoradiation or surgery followed by radiation ± chemotherapy reported the worst symptoms while patient treated with surgery plus radiation ± chemotherapy reported the worst interference.
    Conclusion: HNC survivors describe their long-term symptom burden and inform efforts to improve care many years into survivorship.

    Abstract Keratoacanthomas appear most commonly in sun-damaged skin in middle-aged and elderly people. We present a 15-year-old boy who developed a rapidly growing nodule within a hypertrophic scar that was the result of trauma suffered in a roll-over motor vehicle accident 8 months prior to presentation. Histologic analysis of a biopsy specimen of the nodule confirmed the presence of squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthoma type. The development of keratoacanthoma has been associated with sun exposure, chemical carcinogens, radiation therapy, genetic factors, and various forms of antecedent trauma, including surgery or grafting, thermal burns, laser resurfacing, and vaccination. This report describes the youngest patient with traumatically-induced keratoacanthoma, and is the first instance of this entity arising in a friction burn.

    Abstract In a society desiring images of beauty and youthfulness, the world of cutaneous surgery offers the gifts of facial rejuvenation for those determined to combat the signs of aging. With the development of novel laser and plasma technology, pigmentary changes, scarring, and wrinkles can be conquered providing smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. This review highlights five of the most popular resurfacing technologies in practice today including the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser, the erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser, combination resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis, and plasma resurfacing.

    Abstract Mycobacterium marinum, an aerobic, non-tuberculous, environmental mycobacterium, is the etiologic agent responsible for "fish tank granuloma." Found in aquatic environments, particularly where water is relatively still or stagnant, M. marinum produces infection in fish, as well as humans. Infection follows exposure to contaminated water and direct inoculation of the organism via breaks in the skin. The resulting primary lesion is usually a red-to-violaceous plaque or nodule, which can have an overlying crust or verrucous surface that may ulcerate and, in some cases, may be accompanied by satellite lesions and lymphangitic spread. We present an aggressive case of M. marinum infection with prominent lymph node involvement in an otherwise healthy 34-year-old woman whose course was complicated by delayed diagnosis and treatment with systemic steroids.

    Abstract The relationship of mycorrhizal associations with latitudinal gradients in tree beta-diversity is unexplored. Using a global dataset approach, this study examines how trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal associations contribute to latitudinal beta-diversity patterns and the environmental controls of these patterns.

    Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations are critical for host-tree performance. However, how mycorrhizal associations correlate with the latitudinal tree beta-diversity remains untested. Using a global dataset of 45 forest plots representing 2,804,270 trees across 3840 species, we test how AM and EcM trees contribute to total beta-diversity and its components (turnover and nestedness) of all trees. We find AM rather than EcM trees predominantly contribute to decreasing total beta-diversity and turnover and increasing nestedness with increasing latitude, probably because wide distributions of EcM trees do not generate strong compositional differences among localities. Environmental variables, especially temperature and precipitation, are strongly correlated with beta-diversity patterns for both AM trees and all trees rather than EcM trees. Results support our hypotheses that latitudinal beta-diversity patterns and environmental effects on these patterns are highly dependent on mycorrhizal types. Our findings highlight the importance of AM-dominated forests for conserving global forest biodiversity.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine, in a pediatric population less than 5 years of age, which size catheter is ideal for central venous access via the subclavian and internal jugular vein based on the children's age, weight, and height.
    Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of children less than 5 years of age at The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado who underwent subclavian or internal jugular central venous catheter placement from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2001. Age, height, weight, primary disease, access site, type of central venous catheter, size of central venous catheter, and complications were recorded. Age, weight, and height were stratified and compared with catheter size to determine any correlation between age, weight, height, and complications.
    Results: There were 430 central venous catheters placed via the subclavian or internal jugular vein in 331 patients less than 5 years old. One hundred ninety-five catheters (45.4%) were less than 6F in size, and 235 (54.6%) catheters were > or =6F in size. Children, who were between 0.5 and 0.99 years old, 5 to 7.49 kg in weight, 7.5 to 9.99 kg in weight, and 60 to 74.9 cm in height had higher complication rates (P <.05) when catheters > or =6F were inserted. Children who were greater than 1 year of age, greater than 10 kg in weight, and longer than 75 cm in height did not experience a significant difference (P >.05) in complications versus catheter size.
    Conclusions: The choice of central venous catheter size should be predicated, not only on the primary disease, but also on the child's age, weight, and height. Insertion of central venous catheters larger than 6F in children less than 1 year of age, less than 10 kg in weight, or less than 75 cm in height, was associated with higher complications compared with other settings.

    Abstract Background/purpose: pulmonary (PPT) and extrapulmonary pseudotumors (EPPT) are uncommon benign tumors, which, in general, do not recur after complete resection. Recurrence rates for both types of pseudotumors are undocumented in a large population of children, and the salient features of potential recurrences are unspecified.
    Methods: This is a report of 15 children with PPT and EPPT; 3 children had a recurrence. These pseudotumors recurred despite adequate primary resection of all gross disease at first presentation. The literature was reviewed to determine rate of recurrence for PPT and EPPT and also to document features common to recurrent pseudotumors.
    Results: Overall recurrence rate for pseudotumors was 14%. PPT and EPPT, which were not confined to a single organ, had a high chance of recurrence (46% and 30%, respectively) compared with PPT and EPPT, which were confined to a single organ (1.5% and 8%, respectively). Recurrences have appeared between 3 months and 7 years. Intraabdominal EPPT accounts for more than 75% of the EPPT recurrences.
    Conclusions: PPT and EPPT recur more frequently than anticipated. All pseudotumors, which on initial presentation extend beyond the confines of a single organ, have a high chance of recurrence despite what appears to be adequate resection. Children with pseudotumors that extend beyond a single organ, require frequent postoperative evaluation for recurrence and may be candidates for chemotherapy or radiotherapy at the time of initial resection.
