    Abstract Background: Multiple studies have now shown that a significant proportion of hemophilia carriers meet the criteria for having hemophilia and/or report abnormal bleeding. However, to date, investigations of hemophilia carriers have almost exclusively involved women over 18 years of age. Little is known about factor activity levels and bleeding scores in carriers during childhood. We queried a large deidentified database of subjects with bleeding disorders residing in the United States to determine factor activity levels and bleeding scores.
    Procedures: The ATHNdataset was queried for hemophilia carriers under 18 years of age. Collected information included demographics, factor activity levels, and bleeding scores.
    Results: Over 700 carriers in the pediatric age group were identified, of which 626 submitted factor activity levels. Nearly half had factor activity levels less than 40 IU/dL, thereby meeting criteria for having hemophilia. Of those reporting bleeding scores, only 13.5% reported an abnormal bleeding score for age. The proportion reporting abnormal bleeding scores was higher in those with factor levels less than 40 IU/dL (23%) than those greater than 40 IU/dL (9.7%).
    Conclusions: The proportion of pediatric carriers with hemophilia was double of that previously reported for adults. Of those with hemophilia reporting a bleeding score, the majority (77%) did not report an abnormal bleeding score for age. However, nearly 10% of pediatric carriers not meeting criteria for having hemophilia reported abnormal bleeding scores for age. Similar results are reported in adults suggesting that factor activity levels may not be predictive of bleeding symptoms in carriers.

    Abstract Objective: To understand the experiences of patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma via in-depth interviews covering the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
    Methods: A qualitative study was performed using 60 minutes interviews with patients diagnosed with low-grade UTUC. The participants received either endoscopic treatment (ET), radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) or intracavity mitomycin gel for the pyelocaliceal system. Interviews were conducted by trained interviewers via telephone using a semi-structured questionnaire. The raw interviews were coded into discrete phrases that were grouped together based on similarity of meaning. Inductive data analysis methodology was used. Themes were identified and refined to overarching themes striving to encompass the original meaning and intent of participant's words.
    Results: Twenty individuals were enrolled; 6 were treated with ET, 8 were treated with a RNU, and 6 were treated with intracavitary mitomycin gel. The median age was 74 years (52-88) and half of participants were women. Most endorsed good, very good, or excellent health. Four unique themes were identified: 1. Misunderstandings of the nature of disease; 2. Importance of physical symptoms during treatment as a proxy for recovery; 3. Competing desires for kidney preservation versus expeditious treatment; and 4. Trust in doctors and minimal perceived shared decision-making.
    Conclusions: Low grade UTUC is a disease with a diverse clinical presentation and an evolving landscape of available treatments. This study provides insight into patients' perspective and can help guide counseling and treatment selection.

    Abstract Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for testicular seminoma with enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes has received increased consideration and exposed a new clinical entity: pN0 disease. Enlarged, nonmetastatic retroperitoneal lymph nodes provide insight into the natural history of seminoma while offering a benchmark for improving the accuracy of staging. The purpose of this systematic review was to report the pN0 rates, describe risk factors associated with it, and discuss emerging research that may reduce its incidence. We performed a systemic review of published literature on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, as well as oncology meeting abstracts evaluating histology of lymph nodes in patients with testicular seminoma treated primarily with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Studies were excluded if histology was not reported. A total of 15 publications and abstracts were included. Although study designs were heterogeneous, there was a minimal risk of bias. Overall, the reported pN0 rates were 0% to 22%. In prospective clinical trials it was 9% to 16%. The presence of pN0 was associated with preoperative smaller lymph nodes, a solitary enlarged lymph node, or negative serum miRNA-371. The incidence of pN0 seminoma is concerning as it points to a potential historical overtreatment; however, it also represents an important inflection for testicular cancer research as quantifiable improvements in clinical staging will translate to clear benefits to patients.

    Abstract Objective: To elucidate clinical and demographic predictors of metastatic testicular cancer (TC) at presentation and study the impact of these factors on prognosis. Patients with metastatic TC experience poorer outcomes than those with localized or locoregional disease. Social determinants of health may compound this trend.
    Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried to identify 16,528 patients aged ≥18 with TC diagnosed from 2010 to 2016. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using Fisher exact test and Pearson chi-square test for continuous and categorical variables. Predictors of specific metastases and factors impacting cancer-specific mortality (CSM) were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis and competing risks regression, respectively.
    Results: Of 16,474 patients with complete data, 1877 (11.39%) had distant metastases at diagnosis. These patients more commonly featured disease-specific and demographic variables associated with worse health outcomes (all P < .001). Lung metastases were the predominant site of synchronous and solitary metastases. Disease-specific predictors of metastasis included T stage, histology, tumor size, lymphovascular invasion, and cryptorchidism. Patient-specific predictors included age, geography, ethnicity, race, marital status, and socioeconomic status. Nearly one-fourth of patients with metastases died. Poor CSM was predicted by histology, age, insurance status, and socioeconomic status. All metastatic sites except bone were associated with worse CSM, with lung metastases conferring the greatest risk.
    Conclusion: This cross-sectional study identifies variables associated with TC metastasis and survival, particularly highlighting the importance of social determinants of health in TC mortality. These findings can facilitate a risk-stratified approach to staging and management while supporting new approaches to target disparities.

    Abstract Reducing the long-term morbidity in testicular cancer survivors represents a major area of interest. External beam radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy are established treatments for seminoma; however, they are associated with late toxicities such as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and secondary malignancy. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a standard treatment for nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) that has minimal long-term morbidity. Given the efficacy of RPLND in management of NSGCT, interest has developed in this surgery as a front-line treatment for seminoma with isolated lymph node metastasis to the retroperitoneum. Four retrospective studies have shown promising results when surgery is performed for seminomas with low-volume retroperitoneal metastases. To better determine if RPLND can be recommended as a primary treatment option, two prospective clinical trials (SEMS and PRIMETEST) are underway. This review will examine the literature, discuss the benefits/limitations of RPLND, and compare the methodologies of the two ongoing clinical trials.

    Abstract It has been suggested that neurons can represent sensory input using probability distributions and neural circuits can perform probabilistic inference. Lateral connections between neurons have been shown to have non-random connectivity and modulate responses to stimuli within the classical receptive field. Large-scale efforts mapping local cortical connectivity describe cell type specific connections from inhibitory neurons and like-to-like connectivity between excitatory neurons. To relate the observed connectivity to computations, we propose a neuronal network model that approximates Bayesian inference of the probability of different features being present at different image locations. We show that the lateral connections between excitatory neurons in a circuit implementing contextual integration in this should depend on correlations between unit activities, minus a global inhibitory drive. The model naturally suggests the need for two types of inhibitory gates (normalization, surround inhibition). First, using natural scene statistics and classical receptive fields corresponding to simple cells parameterized with data from mouse primary visual cortex, we show that the predicted connectivity qualitatively matches with that measured in mouse cortex: neurons with similar orientation tuning have stronger connectivity, and both excitatory and inhibitory connectivity have a modest spatial extent, comparable to that observed in mouse visual cortex. We incorporate lateral connections learned using this model into convolutional neural networks. Features are defined by supervised learning on the task, and the lateral connections provide an unsupervised learning of feature context in multiple layers. Since the lateral connections provide contextual information when the feedforward input is locally corrupted, we show that incorporating such lateral connections into convolutional neural networks makes them more robust to noise and leads to better performance on noisy versions of the MNIST dataset. Decomposing the predicted lateral connectivity matrices into low-rank and sparse components introduces additional cell types into these networks. We explore effects of cell-type specific perturbations on network computation. Our framework can potentially be applied to networks trained on other tasks, with the learned lateral connections aiding computations implemented by feedforward connections when the input is unreliable and demonstrate the potential usefulness of combining supervised and unsupervised learning techniques in real-world vision tasks.

    Abstract Chemoablation is an emerging treatment for urothelial carcinomas. This review provides an overview of the evidence for intracavitary chemoablation in the treatment of urothelial carcinomas. The benefits of such agents include a reduction in morbidity and diseased organ preservation. While numerous agents have shown promise, research is limited due to small patient cohorts, varying follow-up, and no standardized methodology to assess response. Therefore, to date, chemoablation has not been widely adopted. This may change as a novel mitomycin formulation has recently been approved for treating low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Future studies are ongoing which evaluate other promising chemoablation options in urothelial carcinoma.

    Abstract Objective: We report a urachal adenocarcinoma case managed surgically with two incisions and an emphasis on cosmesis while maintaining oncologic principles.
    Introduction: Depending upon the cancer, excision of the urachal remnant and umbilectomy may require abdominal wall reconstruction and potentially could leave the patient with an altered anterior abdominal wall. Restoring function and cosmesis after surgery can be very important to oncologic quality of life. Therefore, we present a patient with urachal adenocarcinoma who underwent open partial cystectomy, urachal ligament excision with umbilectomy, and neo-umbilicoplasty via two incisions.
    Conclusion: This case demonstrates the feasibility of performing an oncologically-sound operation for urachal adenocarcinoma while maintaining an emphasis on cosmesis.
