    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a change in our practice in the management of pediatric soft-tissue injuries. Patients were managed conservatively whenever possible. Our aim in this study was to see whether this more conservative approach adversely affected clinical, and patient-reported outcomes, including scarring. A prospective record of children presenting to the plastic surgery "Early Bird" clinic for pediatric trauma between 01.04.2020 and 30.06.2020 was kept. Electronic patient records were reviewed. An outpatient telephone clinic was scheduled for all patients. Parents were asked about complications and what they thought about the scar and to rate it as either: "poor," "satisfactory," "good," or "excellent." There were 240 patients, including 136 (57%) males and 104 (43%) females. The most frequent type of injury was a facial laceration in 123 patients (51.3%), followed by hand lacerations in 43 (17.9%), fingertip injuries in 31 (12.9%), and others. Ninety out of 240 (37.5%) were offered surgery. Follow-up times ranged from 17 to 20 months. Most parents (86.2%) were happy with the scarring and reported it as "good" or "excellent." The proportion rating the scar "excellent" or "good" was similar in the non-operated cohort (i.e., 85.5%) versus the operated cohort (88.5%) (p-value 0.16). The overall complication rate of patients seen during this time was 5.9%; 7.4% in the conservatively managed and 4.9% of those who went to the theater. Despite managing more wounds, including some dog bites, conservatively, patients and parents reported low complication rates and high levels of satisfaction with the final scarring.

    Abstract For older people, physical inactivity increases fall risk as well as other preventable health conditions. Despite the well-documented benefits of physical activity, uptake and adherence continue to challenge efforts aimed at increasing physical activity and reducing falls.

    Abstract Two 9-week-old female littermate German Shepherd puppies showed severe high-frequency low-amplitude trembling that worsened with movement. The white matter (WM) of the central nervous system (CNS) showed bilateral diffuse severe spongiosis in the cerebellum, brainstem, spinal cord, and the neuropil of the oculomotor and red nuclei. The cortical corona radiata was less severely affected. Rare necrotic or apoptotic glia-like cells also were identified in the WM. Luxol fast blue staining disclosed severe diffuse myelin loss in the entire CNS; peripheral nerves were spared. Glial fibrillary acidic protein immunohistochemistry showed diffuse astrogliosis and astrocytosis in the WM. Genetic analyses of the littermates excluded the aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene as a candidate for this condition in dogs. In conclusion, this description of a rare congenital spongiform leukodystrophy in the German Shepherd breed, closely resembling to Canavan disease in humans, is likely caused by a genetic alteration unrelated to the ASPA gene.

    Abstract Stroke simulations are needed to run in-silico trials, develop hypotheses for clinical studies and to interpret ultrasound monitoring and radiological imaging. We describe proof-of-concept three-dimensional stroke simulations, carrying out in silico trials to relate lesion volume to embolus diameter and calculate probabilistic lesion overlap maps, building on our previous Monte Carlo method. Simulated emboli were released into an in silico vasculature to simulate 1000 s of strokes. Infarct volume distributions and probabilistic lesion overlap maps were determined. Computer-generated lesions were assessed by clinicians and compared with radiological images. The key result of this study is development of a three-dimensional simulation for embolic stroke and its application to an in silico clinical trial. Probabilistic lesion overlap maps showed that the lesions from small emboli are homogeneously distributed throughout the cerebral vasculature. Mid-sized emboli were preferentially found in posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and posterior region of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories. For large emboli, MCA, PCA and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) lesions were comparable to clinical observations, with MCA, PCA then ACA territories identified as the most to least probable regions for lesions to occur. A power law relationship between lesion volume and embolus diameter was found. In conclusion, this article showed proof-of-concept for large in silico trials of embolic stroke including 3D information, identifying that embolus diameter could be determined from infarct volume and that embolus size is critically important to the resting place of emboli. We anticipate this work will form the basis of clinical applications including intraoperative monitoring, determining stroke origins, and in silico trials for complex situations such as multiple embolisation.

    Abstract Background: Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GCL) is a fatal autosomal recessive disease caused by variants in the galactosylceramidase (GALC) gene. Two dog breed-specific variants are reported.
    Objectives: Characterize the putatively causative GALC variant for GCL in a family of dogs and determine population allele frequency.
    Animals: Four related mixed-breed puppies with signs of neurologic disease were evaluated. Subsequently, 33 related dogs were tested for genetic markers for parentage and the identified GALC variant. Additional GALC genotyping was performed on 278 banked samples from various breeds.
    Methods: The 4 affected puppies had neurological exams and necropsies. DNA was isolated from blood samples. Variants in GALC were identified via Sanger sequencing. Parentage testing was performed using short tandem repeat markers. Prevalence of the GALC variant of interest was investigated in other breeds.
    Results: GCL was confirmed histopathologically. A novel missense variant in GALC (NC_006590.4:g.58893972G>A) was homozygous in all affected animals (n = 4). A recessive mode of inheritance was confirmed by parentage testing as was variant linkage with the phenotype (LOD = 3.36). Among the related dogs (n = 33), 3 dogs were homozygous and 7 heterozygous. The variant allele was not detected in screening 278 dogs from 5 breeds. The novel variant is either unique to this family or has an extremely low allele frequency in the general population.
    Conclusions and clinical importance: A novel GALC variant was identified that likely explains GCL in this cohort. The identification of multiple causal variants for GCL in dogs is consistent with findings in humans.

    Abstract The risk of developing drug addiction is strongly influenced by the epigenetic landscape and chromatin remodeling. While histone modifications such as methylation and acetylation have been studied in the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens (NAc), the role of H2A monoubiquitination remains unknown. Our investigations, initially focused on the scaffold protein melanoma-associated antigen D1 (Maged1), reveal that H2A monoubiquitination in the paraventricular thalamus (PVT) significantly contributes to cocaine-adaptive behaviors and transcriptional repression induced by cocaine. Chronic cocaine use increases H2A monoubiquitination, regulated by Maged1 and its partner USP7. Accordingly, Maged1 specific inactivation in thalamic Vglut2 neurons, or USP7 inhibition, blocks cocaine-evoked H2A monoubiquitination and cocaine locomotor sensitization. Additionally, genetic variations in MAGED1 and USP7 are linked to altered susceptibility to cocaine addiction and cocaine-associated symptoms in humans. These findings unveil an epigenetic modification in a non-canonical reward pathway of the brain and a potent marker of epigenetic risk factors for drug addiction in humans.
