    Title translation Renal synovialosarcoma: What about pyelic cytology to make a diagnosis?
    Abstract Synovialosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of young adults that occurs in the deep soft tissues, particularly around large joints. When it occurs in more unusual sites, it could present a significant diagnostic challenge. In this case, a 19-year-old girl was treated for a pyloric mass. A pyelic urine cytology performed simultaneously with a pyloric biopsy proved to be a significant element of orientation and perfectly concordant with the histopathological aspect of the pyelic mass after nephrectomy. We report here the first case of renal synovialosarcoma documented in pyelic urine.

    Abstract Objectives: (1) To analyze the preferential pathways of sound transmission and sound waves travelling properties in the skull and (2) to identify the location(s) on the skull where bone conduction to the cochlea is optimal.
    Study design: Basic research Methods: Nine cadaveric heads were placed in an anechoic chamber and equipped with six Bone Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA™) implants (Cochlear™, Sydney, NSW, Australia) and fifteen accelerometers. A laser velocimeter was used to measure cochlear response by placing a reflector on the round window. Different frequency sweeps were applied to each implant, and measurements were recorded simultaneously by the laser velocimeter and accelerometers.
    Results: Low-frequency sound waves mostly travel the frontal transmission pathways, and there is no clear predominant pattern for the high frequencies. The mean inter-aural time lag is 0.1 ms. Optimal sound transmission to the cochlea occurs between 1000 and 2500 Hz with a contralateral 5 to 10 dB attenuation. The implant location does not influence mean transmission to the cochlea.
    Conclusion: There is a pattern of transmission for low frequencies through a frontal pathway but none for high frequencies. We were also able to demonstrate that the localization of the BAHA™ implant on the skull had no significant impact on the sound transmission, either ipsi or contralaterally.

    Abstract Objectives: The first objective of this study was to examine the association between perceived injustice and opioid craving in patients with chronic pain who are prescribed opioids. We also examined whether pain intensity, negative affect, or catastrophizing mediated this association.
    Methods: In this longitudinal diary study, patients (n = 103) completed a questionnaire assessing perceived injustice and then completed daily measures of pain intensity, negative affect, catastrophizing, and opioid craving for 14 consecutive days.
    Results: A significant association was found between perceived injustice and opioid craving ( P < 0.01), with higher levels of perceived injustice being associated with heightened levels of opioid craving. A 2-1-1 multilevel mediation analysis indicated that the association between perceived injustice and craving was significantly mediated by catastrophizing ( P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: The present study provides new insights into the factors that might contribute to opioid craving in patients with chronic pain. Our findings suggest that perceived injustice might lead to increased catastrophizing and, in turn, heightened daily levels of opioid craving. These findings could have implications for chronic pain management clinicians who prescribe opioids.

    Abstract Objectives: To answer the clinical research questions: "Among facial paralysis patients (FPPs), did lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM) improve public's perceptions, patients' perceptions, as well as objective oral measurements of post-operative outcomes?"
    Methods: To answer the research questions, we designed and implemented a hybrid cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study enrolling a cohort of laypersons and FPPs treated at a tertiary care center from 2011 to 2020. The primary predictor variables were LTM in FPPs (before/after) and medical background on medical care (FPPs/laypersons). The main outcome variable was post-operative outcomes (from a public's perspective, FPPs' perspective, and with objective measurements). Descriptive and univariate statistics were computed as appropriate, and P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: The sample consisted of 203 lay volunteers and 15 FPPs. After LTM, public perception voted the significant improvements in disfigured, important to repair, bothersome, severity (DIBS) score, and facial attractiveness. Patients' perspective was also significantly improved for global severity, oral function, and facial movement. Objective measurements of deviation at the oral commissure and the smile angle also significantly improved after LTM.
    Conclusion: Despite no control groups (i.e., other techniques to be compared) in this study, our study results suggest that LTM can be used to improve public's perception, patient's perception, and objective oral measurement of post-operative outcomes in FPPs. Because different questionnaires were used, it is unknown whether public and patient's perceptions are compatible.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of cartilage and bone. The destructive lesions result from both immune responses and non-antigen-specific inflammatory processes. Little is known about the primary cause of RA. Although the primacy of T-cell-related events early in the disease remains debated, strong evidence indicates that autoantigen recognition by specific T cells is crucial to the pathophysiology of rheumatoid synovitis. We will discuss evolving concepts about T-cell involvement in RA and the roles for various T cell subsets in the development of joint abnormalities. The hypothesis that RA is a T-cell driven disease was put forward when studies of RA synovium showed numerous T cells carrying activation markers. These T cells were found to participate in the complex network of cell- and mediator-driven events leading to joint destruction. Conceivably, these T cells may be stimulated by an autoantigen (whether specific to the joints or ubiquitous), a highly conserved foreign protein cross-reacting with its human homolog, or a neo-antigen expressed as a result of posttranslational events. For many years, animal models have provided valuable evidence supporting a role for T cells in RA. We will review three murine models of arthritis caused by different mechanisms. In collagen-induced arthritis, the immune response to a joint antigen is mediated by pathogenic Th1 cells that elicit severe inflammatory synovitis. Spontaneous arthritis in K/BxN T-cell-receptor transgenic mice is related to an adaptive immune response against a ubiquitous protein whose end-stage effector mechanisms are heavily dependent on the innate immune system. In the SKG model of autoimmune inflammatory arthritis, a point mutation in the gene encoding a key signal-transduction molecule in T cells causes defective T cell selection in the thymus, which releases polyclonal autoreactive T cells. Studies in these and other animal models have established that a variety of T-cell subsets whose roles vary with cell location and disease stage can contribute to synovitis. Finally, in addition to direct autoimmune attack by effector T cells, arthritis may result from defective homeostatic control of immunity by regulatory T cells.

    Abstract Background: Research has shown that opioid craving is one of the strongest determinants of opioid misuse in patients with chronic pain. To date, however, little is known on the factors that contribute to opioid craving in these patients. It is possible that patients' physical dependence to opioids, manifested by opioid withdrawal symptoms in between daily opioid doses, contribute to opioid craving. Physical dependence symptoms might also lead to psychological distress, which in turn might contribute to opioid craving. The first objective of this study was to examine the day-to-day association between opioid withdrawal symptoms and opioid craving among patients with chronic pain. We also examined whether negative affect and catastrophic thinking mediated this association.
    Methods: In this longitudinal study, chronic pain patients (n = 79) prescribed short-acting opioids completed daily diaries for 14 consecutive days. Diaries assessed a host of pain, psychological, and opioid-related variables.
    Results: Day-to-day elevations in opioid withdrawal symptoms were associated with heightened opioid craving (p < .001). Results of a multilevel mediation analysis revealed that this association was mediated by patients' daily levels of negative affect and catastrophizing (p < .001).
    Conclusions: Our study provides valuable new insights into our understanding of factors that may contribute to prescription opioid craving among patients with chronic pain.
