    Abstract Objective: We sought to describe patterns of and indications for surgical specialty consultation for facial laceration repair in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs).
    Methods: We performed a multicenter survey of PED leadership throughout the United States and Canada evaluating the practice patterns of surgical specialty consultation for patients presenting for facial lacerations requiring repair. We measured demographics of PEDs, factors influencing the decision to obtain a surgical specialty consultation, and the presence and components of consultation guidelines. Factors related to consultation were ranked on a Likert scale from 1 to 5 (1 = Not at all important, 5 = Extremely important). We evaluated relationships between reported rates of surgical specialty consultation and PED region, annual PED volume, and reported factors associated with PED consultation.
    Results: Survey responses were received from 67/124 (54%) queried PEDs. The median self-reported rate of surgical specialty consultation for facial lacerations was 10% and ranged from 1% to 70%, with resident physicians performing the repair 71% of the time a subspecialist was consulted. There was regional variability in specialty consultation, with the highest and lowest rate in the Midwest and Canada, respectively (P = 0.03). The top 4 influential factors prompting consultation with the highest percentage of responses of "Extremely Important" or "Very Important" were: discretion of the physician caring for the patient (95%), parental preference (39%), limited PED resources (32%), and patient requires sedation (32%). Surgical specialty consult guidelines were used in only 6% of PEDs with consensus that depth necessitating more than 2-layer repair or involvement of critical structures should prompt consultation.
    Conclusions: Surgical specialty usage in the management of patients who present with facial lacerations to PEDs has significant variation related to patient, provider, and department-level factors that influence the decision to consult. Lack of consult guidelines represent a potential opportunity to standardize care delivery to this common presentation.

    Abstract Cushing's disease is the most common cause of endogenous hypercortisolemia. It is a rare disease of unknown etiology that is prone to relapse and damaging to quality of life, even in remission. A significant proportion of patients are not cured by primary surgical treatment, and adjuvant radiotherapy has become an increasingly unattractive proposition for clinicians who wish to spare their patients hypopituitarism and other potential complications. The few effective pharmacological options that are available currently tend to have dose-limiting side effects and new alternatives that are safer and more effective than the adrenal cortical enzyme inhibitors and adrenolytic drugs would be most welcome. This article discusses preliminary efficacy data for several potential new groups of drugs.

    Abstract Recent insights into IQSEC2 disease are summarized in this review as follows: (1) Exome sequencing of IQSEC2 patient DNA has led to the identification of numerous missense mutations that delineate at least six and possibly seven essential functional domains present in the IQSEC2 gene. (2) Experiments using IQSEC2 transgenic and knockout (KO) mouse models have recapitulated the presence of autistic-like behavior and epileptic seizures in affected animals; however, seizure severity and etiology appear to vary considerably between models. (3) Studies in IQSEC2 KO mice reveal that IQSEC2 is involved in inhibitory as well as stimulatory neurotransmission. The overall picture appears to be that mutated or absent IQSEC2 arrests neuronal development, resulting in immature neuronal networks. Subsequent maturation is aberrant, leading to increased inhibition and reduced neuronal transmission. (4) The levels of Arf6-GTP remain constitutively high in IQSEC2 knockout mice despite the absence of IQSEC2 protein, indicating impaired regulation of the Arf6 guanine nucleotide exchange cycle. (5) A new therapy that has been shown to reduce the seizure burden for the IQSEC2 A350V mutation is heat treatment. Induction of the heat shock response may be responsible for this therapeutic effect.

  6. Article ; Online: Hamilton's rule in economic decision-making.

    Levy, Moshe / Lo, Andrew W

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

    Abstract: Hamilton’s rule [W. D. Hamilton, Am. Nat. 97, 354–356 (1963); W. D. Hamilton, J. Theor. Biol. 7, 17–52 (1964)] quantifies the central evolutionary ideas of inclusive fitness and kin selection into a simple algebraic relationship. Evidence consistent with ...

    Abstract Hamilton’s rule [W. D. Hamilton, Am. Nat. 97, 354–356 (1963); W. D. Hamilton, J. Theor. Biol. 7, 17–52 (1964)] quantifies the central evolutionary ideas of inclusive fitness and kin selection into a simple algebraic relationship. Evidence consistent with Hamilton’s rule is found in many animal species. A drawback of investigating Hamilton’s rule in these species is that one can estimate whether a given behavior is consistent with the rule, but a direct examination of the exact cutoff for altruistic behavior predicted by Hamilton is almost impossible. However, to the degree that economic resources confer survival benefits in modern society, Hamilton’s rule may be applicable to economic decision-making, in which case techniques from experimental economics offer a way to determine this cutoff. We employ these techniques to examine whether Hamilton’s rule holds in human decision-making, by measuring the dependence between an experimental subject’s maximal willingness to pay for a gift of $50 to be given to someone else and the genetic relatedness of the subject to the gift’s recipient. We find good agreement with the predictions of Hamilton’s rule. Moreover, regression analysis of the willingness to pay versus genetic relatedness, the number of years living in the same residence, age, and sex shows that almost all the variation is explained by genetic relatedness. Similar but weaker results are obtained from hypothetical questions regarding the maximal risk to her own life that the subject is willing to take in order to save the recipient’s life.
