    Abstract Intracellular delivery of proteins, peptides and biologics is an emerging field which has the potential to provide novel opportunities to target intracellular proteins, previously deemed 'undruggable'. However, the delivery of proteins intracellularly remains a challenge.

    Abstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors derived from multiple neuroendocrine origin cell subtypes. Incidence rates for pNENs have steadily risen over the last decade, and outcomes continue to vary widely due to inability to properly screen. These tumors encompass a wide range of functional and non-functional subtypes, with their rarity and slow growth making therapeutic development difficult as most clinically used therapeutics are derived from retrospective analyses. Improved molecular understanding of these cancers has increased our knowledge of the tumor biology for pNENs. Despite these advances in our understanding of pNENs, there remains a dearth of models for further investigation. In this review, we will cover the current field of pNEN models, which include established cell lines, animal models such as mice and zebrafish, and three-dimensional (3D) cell models, and compare their uses in modeling various disease aspects. While no study model is a complete representation of pNEN biology, each has advantages which allow for new scientific understanding of these rare tumors. Future efforts and advancements in technology will continue to create new options in modeling these cancers.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis patients with refractory urinary symptoms after treatment with behavioral therapy and medications still have treatment options. Prior to starting treatments, baseline symptoms should be assessed and treatment goals thoroughly discussed. Catheterization, botulinum toxin, and reconstructive surgery all can play a role in improving both safety and quality of life for these patients. Newer modalities, such as neuromodulation, may also have an increasing role in the future as more data develop regarding efficacy. Risks need to be weighed against any perceived benefit and disease status before more aggressive therapy is initiated.

    Abstract The neurological examination remains the essence of neurology. It allows symptoms to be assessed, diagnoses to be made, and dynamic functions to be followed. Skill in the neurological examination has faced increasing challenges from the encroachment of diagnostic imaging, but has maintained its clinical utility. It has also encountered the battle for the precious time within a medical curriculum. This review considers how the neurological examination can best be taught into the future. It does so by considering factors related to the examination, the learner, the teacher, and the modern clinical environment.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the clear risk that zoonotic viruses pose to global health and economies. The scientific community responded by developing several efficacious vaccines which were expedited by the global need for vaccines. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections highlights the need for additional vaccine modalities to provide stronger, long-lived protective immunity. Here we report the design and preclinical testing of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as a multi-subunit vaccine. Cell lines were engineered to produce sEVs containing either the SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor-binding domain, or an antigenic region from SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid, or both in combination, and we tested their ability to evoke immune responses in vitro and in vivo. B cells incubated with bioengineered sEVs were potent activators of antigen-specific T cell clones. Mice immunised with sEVs containing both sRBD and Nucleocapsid antigens generated sRBD-specific IgGs, nucleocapsid-specific IgGs, which neutralised SARS-CoV-2 infection. sEV-based vaccines allow multiple antigens to be delivered simultaneously resulting in potent, broad immunity, and provide a quick, cheap, and reliable method to test vaccine candidates.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate outcomes of transurethral bipolar enucleation (TuBE) of the prostate in patients with refractory lower urinary tract symptoms.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent TuBE from July 2014 to March 2015. Perioperative factors evaluated included International Prostate Symptom Score, Sexual Health Inventory for Men score, prostate-specific antigen, postvoid residual volume, transrectal ultrasound volume measurement, estimated blood loss, operative time, pathologic weight, and complications. Postoperative evaluation was performed at 6 weeks and 3 months.
    Results: Forty-nine patients were identified. Mean age was 67 years and mean follow-up was 4.4 months. Twenty-eight patients (57%) were in retention. Preoperative, 6-week, and 3-month mean postvoid residual volumes were 278 mL, 66 mL, and 87 mL (P < .01); mean International Prostate Symptom Scores were 22, 9, and 8 (P  <  .01); mean quality of life scores were 5.0, 1.9, and 1.9; and Sexual Health Inventory for Men scores were 7.1, 8.4, and 7.0 (P = .35), respectively. Twenty-eight patients (57%) were able to have erections preoperatively and were still able to postoperatively. All (100%) of the patients in retention were able to void postoperatively. Mean operative time was 93 minutes, estimated blood loss was 49 mL, and pathologic weight was 18 g. Urinary tract infection occurred in 3 patients (6%), urethral stricture in 1 (2%), and bladder neck contracture in 2 (4%). Mean prostate-specific antigen decreased from 3.2 ng/dL to 0.9 ng/dL at 3 months (P < .01).
    Conclusion: TuBE is an effective operation for refractory urinary tract symptoms including those who are in urinary retention.

    Abstract Background: Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) has devastating consequences if not diagnosed promptly. Despite identification of the disease-defining gene PHOX2B and a facial phenotype, CCHS remains underdiagnosed. This study aimed to incorporate automated techniques on facial photos to screen for CCHS in a diverse pediatric cohort to improve early case identification and assess a facial phenotype-PHOX2B genotype relationship.
    Methods: Facial photos of children and young adults with CCHS were control-matched by age, sex, race/ethnicity. After validating landmarks, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied with logistic regression (LR) for feature attribution and machine learning models for subject classification and assessment by PHOX2B pathovariant.
    Results: Gradient-based feature attribution confirmed a subtle facial phenotype and models were successful in classifying CCHS: neural network performed best (median sensitivity 90% (IQR 84%, 95%)) on 179 clinical photos (versus LR and XGBoost, both 85% (IQR 75-76%, 90%)). Outcomes were comparable stratified by PHOX2B genotype and with the addition of publicly available CCHS photos (n = 104) using PCA and LR (sensitivity 83-89% (IQR 67-76%, 92-100%).
    Conclusions: Utilizing facial features, findings suggest an automated, accessible classifier may be used to screen for CCHS in children with the phenotype and support providers to seek PHOX2B testing to improve the diagnostics.
    Impact: Facial landmarking and principal component analysis on a diverse pediatric and young adult cohort with PHOX2B pathovariants delineated a distinct, subtle CCHS facial phenotype. Automated, low-cost machine learning models can detect a CCHS facial phenotype with a high sensitivity in screening to ultimately refer for disease-defining PHOX2B testing, potentially addressing gaps in disease underdiagnosis and allow for critical, timely intervention.
