    Abstract Introduction: Intestinal atresia is a common cause of neonatal bowel obstruction. Atresias are often associated with other congenital anomalies. The purpose of the study was to evaluate associated anomalies, operative management, and postoperative outcomes of infants with intestinal atresia.
    Methods: A review of patients presenting to a single free-standing children's hospital from March 2012 through February 2022 was performed. The variables examined were type of atresia, additional congenital anomalies, type of operative intervention, and postoperative outcomes. Standard statistical methods were utilized.
    Results: A total of 75 patients with intestinal atresia were identified and several of these patients had multiple atresias. Isolated duodenal atresia patients were the most common (49.3%), followed by jejunal (32%) and ileal (12%). Mixed atresias were rare at 4%, with isolated pyloric and colonic also rare at 1.3% each. Malrotation was associated with 13% of patients and equally associated with duodenal and jejunoileal atresias. A low percentage (3%) of intestinal atresias was seen in conjunction with gastroschisis and concomitant malrotation. A majority of infants with duodenal atresia underwent standard duodenoduodenostomy (19% laparoscopic, 81% open). In infants with jejunoileal atresia, most underwent resection with primary anastomosis. A tapering enteroplasty was performed primarily in 13% of atresias. There were no significant differences noted in time to first feed or length of stay between those with and without tapering enteroplasty. Eleven percent of patients required subsequent intervention for stricture or small bowel obstruction. There was one death in this series.
    Conclusions: Consistent with other literature, duodenal atresia was the most common type of intestinal atresia. However, we demonstrated that malrotation was equally associated with duodenal and jejunoileal atresias while prior reports had shown a higher association with duodenal atresia. In our patient population, the use of tapering enteroplasty did not appear to be associated with outcomes. Overall, these infants have a low morbidity and mortality rate with a rare need for reoperation.

    Abstract Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used mainly for the treatment of breast cancer. Based on the case reports and studies performed to date on the retinal toxicity of tamoxifen, retinopathy appears to occur in as many as 12% of patients taking 20 mg tamoxifen a day for over 2 years. Of this 12%, as many as half develop symptomatic changes in visual acuity. Retinal changes consist primarily of crystalline deposits, cystoid macular edema, hyperreflective deposits in the inner retinal layers, and telangiectasia. Tamoxifen retinopathy is currently managed by discontinuing tamoxifen therapy as the cancer prognosis permits; however, discontinuing therapy demonstrates little to no improvement in visual acuity once visual changes have taken place. Intravitreal injections of steroids or antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy have been performed, but require further studying before conclusions can be made. Until then, optical coherence tomography screening for retinal changes should be performed every 6 months for patients who have been on tamoxifen therapy for 2 years or more. This way, patients can become aware of retinal changes, and their physicians can consider adjusting tamoxifen therapy before they risk developing changes in visual acuity.

    Abstract We introduce the task of changing the narrative point of view, where characters are assigned a narrative perspective that is different from the one originally used by the writer. The resulting shift in the narrative point of view alters the reading experience and can be used as a tool in fiction writing or to generate types of text ranging from educational to self-help and self-diagnosis. We introduce a benchmark dataset containing a wide range of types of narratives annotated with changes in point of view from deictic (first or second person) to anaphoric (third person) and describe a pipeline for processing raw text that relies on a neural architecture for mention selection. Evaluations on the new benchmark dataset show that the proposed architecture substantially outperforms the baselines by generating mentions that are less ambiguous and more natural.

    Abstract A detailed retrospective analysis and literature review were conducted for all previously published reports of bilateral simultaneous postoperative endophthalmitis (BSPOE) since 1970. There have been 7 (9, with 2 currently being reported elsewhere) cases of BSPOE after immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) reported over 50 years. Generally, in these cases, the surgical protocol recommended by the International Society of Bilateral Cataract Surgeons ( i SBCS) was breached or uncertain. Bacterial causes were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3), Staphylococcus epidermidis (3), and Burkholderia cepacia complex (1). One case showed negative results for bacterial infection and 1 was not determined. Visual recovery was light perception, or worse, for Pseudomonas cases, generally good for Staphylococcus and Burkholderia cases, and mixed in cases of unknown etiology. Therefore, BSPOE is rare and causes vary. Strict adherence to the i SBCS General Principles of Excellence in ISBCS 2009 surgical protocol and care with operating room construction seem to considerably lessen the risk.

    Abstract Prognosis of patients with HER2+ breast-to-brain-metastasis (BBM) is dismal even after current standard-of-care treatments, including surgical resection, whole-brain radiation, and systemic chemotherapy. Radiation and systemic chemotherapies can also induce cytotoxicity, leading to significant side effects. Studies indicate that donor-derived platelets can serve as immune-compatible drug carriers that interact with and deliver drugs to cancer cells with fewer side effects, making them a promising therapeutic option with enhanced antitumor activity. Moreover, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide a potentially renewable source of clinical-grade transfusable platelets that can be drug-loaded to complement the supply of donor-derived platelets. Here, we describe methods for ex vivo generation of megakaryocytes (MKs) and functional platelets from hiPSCs (hiPSC-platelets) in a scalable fashion. We then loaded hiPSC-platelets with lapatinib and infused them into BBM tumor-bearing NOD/SCID mouse models. Such treatment significantly increased intracellular lapatinib accumulation in BBMs in vivo, potentially via tumor cell-induced activation/aggregation. Lapatinib-loaded hiPSC-platelets exhibited normal morphology and function and released lapatinib pH-dependently. Importantly, lapatinib delivery to BBM cells via hiPSC-platelets inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice. Overall, use of lapatinib-loaded hiPSC-platelets effectively reduced adverse effects of free lapatinib and enhanced its therapeutic efficacy, suggesting that they represent a novel means to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs as treatment for BBM.
