    Abstract Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive, undifferentiated carcinoma that may arise on top of normal or abnormal thyroid. Making the diagnosis by fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid with a long-standing history of multinodular goiter (MNG) is not uncommon. We report a case discussing the cytopathologic findings and the relationship with long-standing goiter and thyroid exposure to radioactive iodine treatment.
    Case: A 90-year-old male patient presented with a > 45-year history of MNG that was associated with thyrotoxicosis and multiple courses of radioiodine (I-131) treatment. He developed recent symptoms of dyspnea, dysphagia, neck welling and uniintentional weight loss. Computed tomography of the neck was done revealing a large MNG with retrosternal extension and calcifications. FNA was performed revealing highly anaplastic cells with a colloid background and presence of neutrophils. The diagnosis of ATC was made. The patient refused any kind of management and was discharged upon his request. He died 2 days after the procedure, and no autopsy was performed.
    Conclusion: ATC is an aggressive, undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma that can be diagnosed by FNA and save the patient a surgical intervention. A background of MNG and history of radioactive iodine therapy is not uncommon.

    Abstract Populations of Hippopotamus amphibius have declined throughout Africa in recent years, and are expected to decline further. An understanding of the population genetics of individual populations of hippos is necessary for effective management. To that end, we sequenced a portion of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region or D-loop from 37 H. amphibius, from six herds in the central region of Kruger National Park (KNP), Republic of South Africa. We amplified a 453 bp segment by PCR, and identified 21 polymorphic sites and seven haplotypes. All of these haplotypes are private alleles, not found in other populations of hippos from southern Africa. Overall nucleotide diversity (π) was 0.01739, and haplotype diversity (hd) was 0.8273, within the range observed in other parts of Africa. Mismatch analysis conformed more closely to a model of constant population size than either rapid demographic or spatial expansion. An analysis of molecular variance demonstrated no significant differentiation among herds, and Mantel tests showed no significant relationship between geographic and genetic distance among herds separated by up to 47 km (measured as Euclidean [x,y] distance) or 77 km (measured along rivers). Over this range, the population appears to be a single panmictic unit. A test of the hypothesis that calves are more likely to share a mtDNA haplotype with an adult female in the same herd than an adult female from a different herd was not significant.

    Abstract Strongyloidiasis can present with a wide variety of symptoms and can lead to a potentially fatal hyperinfection. Although any factors that suppress the host defense mechanisms can potentially trigger hyperinfection, prolonged steroid use has been quite well described. A patient with disseminated small cell lung cancer suffered a Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome complicating ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (Cushing syndrome). Evaluation revealed lymphopenia, elevated levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone in the setting of elevated cortisol levels, a normal pituitary, and metastatic malignancy. S. stercoralis larval forms were seen in the stool and sputum. At autopsy, S. stercoralis larval forms were seen in the lung along with evidence of metastatic small cell lung carcinoma.

    Abstract Objective: Morphologic distinction between atypical glandular cells not otherwise specified (AGC-NOS) and AGC-favor neoplasia (AGC-FN) can be difficult. Distinction between these entities is important as the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology 2006 consensus guidelines state that management of AGC-NOS differs from that of AGC-FN. The objective of this study was to determine the potential role of ProExC immunocytochemical triage of AGC-NOS.
    Materials and methods: Cytopathology records from a pathology practice were reviewed from January 2006 to December 2009 to identify AGC-NOS liquid-based Pap smears with subsequent biopsy correlation. Archival slides were examined, and ProExC immunocytochemistry was performed. The AGC groups were assessed for nuclear staining, and results were correlated with subsequent biopsy findings.
    Results: Twenty-eight AGC-NOS cases with biopsy correlation were identified: 13 with subsequent high-grade neoplastic or malignant (positive) diagnoses and 15 with benign diagnoses. Of 13 AGC-NOS cases with positive diagnosis, 10 were ProExC-positive and 3 were ProExC-negative (metastatic tumors from distant sites). Of 15 AGC cases with benign follow-up, 13 were ProExC-negative and 2 were ProExC-positive (sensitivity, 77%; specificity, 87%). For patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or carcinoma originating from the female genital tract, 100% (10/10) were ProExC-positive (sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 87%).
    Conclusions: Results suggest that ProExC-positive AGC-NOS may be classified as AGC-FN. Although positive immunocytochemical staining for ProExC requires management similar to AGC-FN, negative staining does not rule out malignancy such as metastatic tumor. Management for ProExC-negative AGC-NOS cases should proceed according to the current guidelines for AGC-NOS.

    Abstract We have explored a concept for an advanced Normal-Conducting Radio-Frequency (NCRF) C-band linear accelerator (linac) structure to achieve a high gradient, high power e$^+$e$^-$ linear collider in the TeV class. This design study represents the first comprehensive investigation for an emerging class of distributed coupling accelerator topology exploring nominal cavity geometries, frequency and temperature of operation. The structure features internal manifolds for distributing RF power separately to each cell, permitting the full structure geometry to be designed for high shunt impedance and low breakdown. Optimized within operational constraints, we find that it is advantageous for the structure to be cooled directly by liquid nitrogen (LN), further increasing the shunt impedance. A crucial part of this design process has been cost optimization, which is largely driven by the cost of peak RF power. The first operation of a distributed coupling structure at cryogenic temperatures and the nominal operating gradient 120 MeV/m is also presented, demonstrating the feasibility of achieving high-gradient performance with a cryogenically-cooled normal-conducting accelerating structure.
