    Abstract Direct analysis of mtDNA using PCR-free methods is limited by the presence of persistent, contaminating nucleic acids originating from the nuclear genome, even following stringent mitochondrial isolations. Here we describe a method developed in our laboratory that couples existing, commercially available mtDNA isolation protocols with exonuclease treatment and size exclusion chromatography (DIFSEC). This protocol produces highly enriched mtDNA extracts from small-scale cell culture, with near-undetectable nuclear DNA contamination.

    Abstract Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCM) are a rare and challenging manifestation of metastatic cancer that have devastating impacts on the individual's neurological function, survival expectancy and overall quality of life. Given the rarity and poor prognosis, there is a lack of consensus in management. Uterine carcinosarcoma itself is a rare cancer, accounting for less than 3% of all uterine cancers. It carries a poor prognosis, with only one-third of patients surviving beyond 5 years. There are no previous reports of uterine carcinosarcoma metastases to the spinal cord. Here, we present the case of a woman in her late 70s with a uterine carcinosarcoma intramedullary metastasis that was refractory to radiotherapy treatment and responded favourably to surgical debulking.

    Abstract Background: Two population-based case-control studies have reported an increased risk of neural tube defect (NTD)-affected pregnancies among women with low carbohydrate diet in the periconceptional period. Given that only two studies have investigated this association, it is unclear to what degree the findings could be impacted by residual confounding. Here, we further interrogated both studies that observed this association with the objective to identify factors from a much larger number of factors that might explain the association.
    Methods: By employing a machine learning algorithm (random forest), we investigated a baseline set of over 200 variables. These analyses produced the top 10 variables in each data set for cases and controls that predicted periconceptional low carbohydrate intake.
    Results: Examining those prediction variables with logistic regression modeling, we did not observe any particular variable that substantially contributed to the NTD-low carbohydrate association in either data set.
    Conclusions: If there are underlying factors that explain the association, our findings suggest that none of the 200+ variables we examined were sufficiently correlated with what that true explanatory exposure may be. Alternatively, our findings may suggest that there are other unidentified factor(s) at play, or the association observed in two independent data sets is directly related to low carbohydrate intake.

    Abstract Progesterone (≥1 µM) is used in recovery of cerebral ischemia, an effect likely contributed to by cerebrovascular dilation. The targets of this progesterone action are unknown.

    Abstract Despite the significant number of people who may be taking pregnenolone supplements while drinking alcohol (ethanol), the widely documented cerebrovascular actions of pregnenolone and ethanol, and the critical dependence of cerebrovascular function on cerebral artery diameter, there are no studies addressing the effect of pregnenolone + ethanol in combination on cerebral artery diameter. We investigated this by evaluating the effect of this combination on middle cerebral artery diameter in male and female C57BL/6J mice, both

    Abstract The human microbiome is receiving a great deal of attention as its role in health and disease becomes ever more apparent. The oral microbiome, perhaps due to the ease with which we can obtain samples, is arguably the most well-studied human microbiome to date. It is obvious, however, that we have only just begun to scratch the surface of the complex bacterial and bacterial-host interactions within this complex community. Here, we describe the factors which are known to influence the development of the seemingly globally conserved, core, oral microbiome and those which are likely to be responsible for the observed differences at the individual level. We discuss the paradoxical situation of maintaining a stable core microbiome which is at the same time incredibly resilient and adaptable to many different stresses encountered in the open environment of the oral cavity. Finally, we explore the interactions of the oral microbiome with the host and discuss the interactions underlying human health and disease.
