    Abstract Cas9 transgenes can be employed for genome editing in mouse zygotes. However, using transgenic instead of exogenous Cas9 to produce gene-edited animals creates unique issues including ill-defined transgene integration sites, the potential for prolonged Cas9 expression in transgenic embryos, and increased genotyping burden. To overcome these issues, we generated mice harboring an oocyte-specific, Gdf9 promoter driven, Cas9 transgene (Gdf9-Cas9) targeted as a single copy into the Hprt1 locus. The X-linked Hprt1 locus was selected because it is a defined integration site that does not influence transgene expression, and breeding of transgenic males generates obligate transgenic females to serve as embryo donors. Using microinjections and electroporation to introduce sgRNAs into zygotes derived from transgenic dams, we demonstrate that Gdf9-Cas9 mediates genome editing as efficiently as exogenous Cas9 at several loci. We show that genome editing efficiency is independent of transgene inheritance, verifying that maternally derived Cas9 facilitates genome editing. We also show that paternal inheritance of Gdf9-Cas9 does not mediate genome editing, confirming that Gdf9-Cas9 is not expressed in embryos. Finally, we demonstrate that off-target mutagenesis is equally rare when using transgenic or exogenous Cas9. Together, these results show that the Gdf9-Cas9 transgene is a viable alternative to exogenous Cas9.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence tools, Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) versions 3.5 and 4, in managing complex otolaryngological clinical scenarios, specifically for the multidisciplinary management of odontogenic sinusitis (ODS).
    Methods: A prospective, structured multidisciplinary specialist evaluation was conducted using five ad hoc designed ODS-related clinical scenarios. LLM responses to these scenarios were critically reviewed by a multidisciplinary panel of eight specialist evaluators (2 ODS experts, 2 rhinologists, 2 general otolaryngologists, and 2 maxillofacial surgeons). Based on the level of disagreement from panel members, a Total Disagreement Score (TDS) was calculated for each LLM response, and TDS comparisons were made between ChatGPT3.5 and ChatGPT4, as well as between different evaluators.
    Results: While disagreement to some degree was demonstrated in 73/80 evaluator reviews of LLMs' responses, TDSs were significantly lower for ChatGPT4 compared to ChatGPT3.5. Highest TDSs were found in the case of complicated ODS with orbital abscess, presumably due to increased case complexity with dental, rhinologic, and orbital factors affecting diagnostic and therapeutic options. There were no statistically significant differences in TDSs between evaluators' specialties, though ODS experts and maxillofacial surgeons tended to assign higher TDSs.
    Conclusions: LLMs like ChatGPT, especially newer versions, showed potential for complimenting evidence-based clinical decision-making, but substantial disagreement was still demonstrated between LLMs and clinical specialists across most case examples, suggesting they are not yet optimal in aiding clinical management decisions. Future studies will be important to analyze LLMs' performance as they evolve over time.

    Abstract Elevated plasma lipoprotein(a) is a relatively common condition that contributes to many cardiovascular diseases. However, the awareness and testing for this condition remain low. Herein, we present a case of an otherwise healthy and active man who developed symptoms of peripheral arterial disease starting at age 49, and was found to have hyper-lipoprotein(a) as his only notable risk factor. Diagnosis was not made until years later, after an extensive workup. Upon further screening, he was also found to have subclinical coronary and carotid artery atherosclerotic disease. The patient was treated with aspirin, statin, niacin and angioplasty to bilateral superficial femoral arteries with good symptom resolution. Early screening of his son also revealed a similarly elevated lipoprotein(a) level. It is important to raise awareness of this condition and its relationship to early-onset peripheral arterial disease so patients and their families can be appropriately identified, counselled and treated.

    Abstract Purpose: Cavitary lung lesions often pose a diagnostic challenge, and tissue sampling can be required to obtain a confident diagnosis. Many authors contend that a computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTLB) of a cavitary lung lesion places a patient at higher risk for systemic air embolism (SAE) compared with biopsy of a noncavitary lesion.
    Materials and methods: We reviewed the literature for studies of SAE complicating PTLB. We searched English-language articles indexed through PubMed, Embase, and Ovid Medline and included articles published up to March 31, 2020.
    Results: We identified 10 case reports of SAE complicating PTLB, and 3 case-cohort studies comparing cavitary and noncavitary lesion biopsy. Among the case-cohort studies reviewed, 4 SAE occurred among 145 biopsies of cavitary lesions (2.7%), and 65 SAE occurred among 3050 biopsies of noncavitary lesions (2.1%). The pooled odds ratio of PTLB complicating SAE of cavitary lesions compared with noncavitary lesions was 1.29 (95% confidence interval: 0.47-3.60). No deaths following SAE after computed tomography-guided PTLB of cavitary lesions were reported in recent literature.
    Conclusions: On the basis of available evidence, air embolism rates are similar for PTLB of cavitary and noncavitary lesions. Additional research and registry studies are necessary to better understand this topic.

    Abstract The uterine luminal epithelium folds characteristically in mammals, including humans, horses and rodents. Improper uterine folding in horses results in pregnancy failure, but the precise function of folds remains unknown. Here, we uncover dynamic changes in the 3D uterine folding pattern during early pregnancy with the entire lumen forming pre-implantation transverse folds along the mesometrial-antimesometrial axis. Using a time course, we show that transverse folds are formed before embryo spacing, whereas implantation chambers form as the embryo begins attachment. Thus, folds and chambers are two distinct structures. Transverse folds resolve to form a flat implantation region, after which an embryo arrives at its center to attach and form the post-implantation chamber. Our data also suggest that the implantation chamber facilitates embryo rotation and its alignment along the uterine mesometrial-antimesometrial axis. Using WNT5A- and RBPJ-deficient mice that display aberrant folds, we show that embryos trapped in longitudinal folds display misalignment of the embryo-uterine axes, abnormal chamber formation and defective post-implantation morphogenesis. These mouse models with disrupted uterine folding provide an opportunity to understand uterine structure-based mechanisms that are crucial for implantation and pregnancy success. This article has an associated 'The people behind the papers' interview.

    Abstract Introduction: The 2011 IASLC classification system proposes guidelines for radiologists and pathologists to classify adenocarcinomas spectrum lesions as preinvasive, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), or invasive adenocarcinoma (IA). IA portends the worst clinical prognosis, and the imaging distinction between MIA and IA is controversial.
    Materials and methods: Subsolid pulmonary nodules resected by microcoil localization over a three-year period were retrospectively reviewed by three chest radiologists and a pulmonary pathologist. Nodules were classified radiologically based on preoperative computed tomography (CT), with the solid nodule component measured on mediastinal windows applied to high-frequency lung kernel reconstructions, and pathologically according to 2011 IASLC criteria. Radiology interobserver and radiological-pathological variability of nodule classification, and potential reasons for nodule classification discordance were assessed.
    Results: Seventy-one subsolid nodules in 67 patients were included. The average size of invasive disease focus at histopathology was 5 mm (standard deviation 5 mm). Radiology interobserver agreement of nodule classification was good (Cohen's Kappa = 0.604, 95 % CI: 0.447 to 0.761). Agreement between consensus radiological interpretation and pathological category was fair (Cohen's Kappa = 0.236, 95 % CI: 0.054-0.421). Radiological and pathological nodule classification were concordant in 52 % (37 of 71) of nodules. The IASLC proposed CT solid component cut-off of 5 mm to distinguish MIA and IA yielded a sensitivity of 59 % and specificity of 80 %. Common reasons for nodule classification discordance included multiple solid components within a nodule on CT, scar and stromal collapse at pathology, and measurement variability.
    Conclusion: Solid component(s) within persistent part-solid pulmonary nodules raise suspicion for invasive adenocarcinoma. Preoperative imaging classification is frequently discordant from final pathology, reflecting interpretive and technical challenges in radiological and pathological analysis.

    Abstract Background: Current fiducial markers (FMs) in external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) cannot be positively visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and create dose perturbation and significant imaging artifacts on computed tomography (CT) and MRI. We report our initial experience with clinical imaging of a novel multimodality FM, NOVA.
    Methods: We tested Gold Anchor [G-FM], BiomarC [carbon, C-FM], and NOVA FMs in phantoms imaged with kilovoltage (kV) X-rays, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), CT, and MRI. Artifacts of the FMs on CT were quantified by the relative streak artifacts level (rSAL) metric. Proton dose perturbations (PDPs) were measured with Gafchromic EBT3 film, with FMs oriented either perpendicular to or parallel with the beam axis. We also tested the performance of NOVA-FMs in a patient.
    Results: NOVA-FMs were positively visualized on all 4 imaging modalities tested. The rSAL on CT was 0.750 ± 0.335 for 2-mm reconstructed slices. In F-tests, PDP was associated with marker type and depth of measurement (
    Conclusions: NOVA-FMs were positively visible and produced less PDP than G-FMs or C-FMs. NOVA-FMs facilitated MRI/CT fusion and identification of regions of interest.
