    Abstract Background: The Y-Balance Test (YBT), especially the posteromedial (PM) reach direction (PM-YBT), is able to identify dynamic postural control deficits in those who have ankle instability. However, there still exists a need to understand how sensorimotor function at the ankle explains the performance during the PM-YBT.
    Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ability to accurately control eccentric ankle torque explained PM-YBT performance. It was hypothesized that eccentric dorsiflexion/plantarflexion torque control would be positively related to the maximum reach distance (MRD) of PM-YBT.
    Study design: Cross-sectional study.
    Methods: Twelve healthy subjects performed the PM-YBT, maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) for both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion muscle strength, and then the torque control testing of the ankle. The torque control testing provided a target torque level on a screen in front of the subject and passive rotations of the ankle joint in the sagittal plane at 10 deg/sec between plantarflexion to dorsiflexion. Subjects were then instructed to eccentrically contract the dorsiflexors and plantar flexors to generate torque while the ankle joint rotated. The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion and plantarflexion by calculating absolute errors, the area between the target torque and the produced torque were evaluated. Tibialis anterior and soleus muscle activities were simultaneously recorded during testing. A step-wise linear regression model was used to determine the best model predicted the MRD of the PM-YBT (PM-MRD).
    Results: A step-wise linear regression developed a model explaining only eccentric dorsiflexion torque control predicted higher PM-MRD score (R
    Conclusion: The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion predicts better performance in the PM-YBT.
    Level of evidence: 3b.

    Abstract Background: Urinary levels of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) are measured as markers of renal tubular damage. We previously determined normal values for these urine biochemical examinations in healthy children over 3 years old. However, the values are not applicable to children younger than 2 years old, and children less than 1 year old, in particular, seem to show very high levels for all these markers. Hence, as normal values for children below 2 years old remain unclear, we determined the normal values for urinary biochemical markers in this age group.
    Material and methods: Fresh urine samples were obtained from 293 healthy children (from newborns to 2-year-old children). All the samples were subjected to normal urinalysis. NAG, α1-MG, β2-MG, and creatinine (Cr) levels in extracted samples were measured immediately in the central laboratory at Kanazawa Medical Center.
    Results: The normal values for each biomarker in children below 2 years of age were determined. Additionally, urinary α1-MG levels were observed to decrease most rapidly with age, almost reaching the level at ≥ 3 years by 6 months after birth.
    Conclusion: Renal tubular function can be evaluated in children < 3 years old using the normal values. Further, the most stable and useful urinary marker from early infancy seems to be urinary α1-MG.

    Abstract Purpose: Foreign bodies such as a surgical gauze can be retained in the body after surgery and in some cases cannot be detected by postoperative radiography. The aim of this study was to develop an object detection model capable of postsurgical detection of retained gauze in the body. The object detection model used deep learning using abdominal radiographs, and a phantom study was performed to evaluate the ability of the model to automatically detect retained surgical gauze.
    Materials and methods: The object detection model was constructed using a Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) 300. In total, 268 abdominal phantom images were used: 180 gauze images were used as training data, 20 gauze images were used as validation data, and an additional 34 gauze images and 34 nongauze images were used as test data. To evaluate the performance of the object detection model, a confusion matrix was created and the accuracy and sensitivity were calculated.
    Result: True-positive (TP) rate, true-negative (TN) rate, false-positive (FP) rate, and false-negative (FN) rate were 0.92, 1.00, 0.00, and 0.08, respectively. Accuracy was 0.96, and sensitivity was 0.92.
    Conclusion: The object detection model could detect surgical gauze on abdominal phantom images with a high accuracy and sensitivity.

    Abstract GLI family zinc finger proteins are transcriptional effectors of the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway. GLI regulates gene expression and repression at various phases of embryonic morphogenesis. In humans, 4 GLI genes are known, and GLI2 (2q14.2) and GLI3 (7p14.1) mutations cause different syndromes. Here, we present 2 distinctive cases with a chromosomal microdeletion in one of these genes. Patient 1 is a 14-year-old girl with Culler-Jones syndrome. She manifested short stature, cleft palate, and mild intellectual/social disability caused by a 6.6-Mb deletion of 2q14.1q14.3. Patient 2 is a 2-year-old girl with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly contiguous gene deletion syndrome. She manifested macrocephaly, preaxial polysyndactyly, psychomotor developmental delay, cerebral cavernous malformations, and glucose intolerance due to a 6.2-Mb deletion of 7p14.1p12.3 which included GLI3, GCK, and CCM2. Each patient manifests a different phenotype which is associated with different functions of each GLI gene and different effects of the chromosomal contiguous gene deletion. We summarize the phenotypic extent of GLI2/3 syndromes in the literature and determine that these 2 syndromes manifest opposite features to a certain extent, such as midface hypoplasia or macrocephaly, and anterior or posterior side of polydactyly. We propose a GLIA/R balance model that may explain these findings.

    Abstract Mandibular advancement in the supine position may influence swallowing during dental treatment under intravenous sedation. This study investigated the influence of mandibular advancement in the supine position on swallowing ability, compared with head extension and mouth opening. The water swallowing test was performed in 13 healthy, awake, supine, adult subjects under four head and mandibular positions. An electromyogram of the suprahyoid muscles was recorded; the duration and peak amplitude were examined. A greater volume of water remained in the mouth during mouth opening and mandibular advancement relative to the neutral position; the volume in the mandibular advancement position was larger and smaller than that in the head extension position and during mouth opening, respectively. The duration of the electromyogram in the head extension position was longer than that in the mandibular advancement position, without differences in the amplitude. Thus, swallowing ability in the supine position was more impaired with mandibular advancement, relative to neutral and head extension positions, but less than that observed with mouth opening. Although unconfirmed by electromyogram, our findings suggest that head extension might improve airway patency by reducing the impairment of swallowing ability compared with mandibular advancement.

    Abstract Background: Anaphylaxis is difficult to diagnose in the absence of skin or mucosal signs and symptoms. We report two cases of anaphylaxis under general anesthesia, in which the initial presentation was in the form of respiratory signs, followed by skin manifestations 10-15 min later. Diagnosis of anaphylaxis was delayed because skin symptoms were absent early on in the presentation.
    Case presentation: In the first case, a 23-year-old male patient with jaw deformity was scheduled to undergo maxillary alveolar osteotomy. After intubation, auscultation indicated a sudden decrease in breath sounds, together with severe hypotension. Approximately 10 min later, flushing of the skin and urticaria on the thigh appeared and spread widely throughout the body. In the second case, a 21-year-old female patient with jaw deformity was scheduled to undergo maxillomandibular osteotomy. Twenty minutes after the start of dextran infusion, her lungs suddenly became difficult to ventilate, and oxygen saturation decreased to 90%. Approximately 15 min later, flushing of the skin and urticaria were observed.
    Conclusion: In both cases, there was a time lag between the appearance of respiratory and skin symptoms, which resulted in a delay in the diagnosis, and hence, treatment of anaphylaxis. Our experience highlights the fact that it is difficult to diagnose anaphylaxis under general anesthesia.
