    Abstract Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) may be an effective treatment modality for oral cavity cancers (OCC) due to possibility of more effective visualization of tumor margins and greater preservation of benign tissue. The objective of this study is to review the existing literature on the use of MMS for the treatment of OCC and categorize its uses and limitations. A systematic review was performed in accordance with Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from inception of databases to January 20, 2023 identified all published studies on the use of MMS for OCC. Nine studies met inclusion criteria. Seventy-seven patients were treated with MMS for OCC, 74 of which (96%) were treated for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The tongue was the most common site (n = 57). Six out of seven studies showed no recurrence of disease during the follow-up periods, which ranged from 8 to 42 months, and one study reported significantly lower loco-regional recurrence over a 2-years follow-up period (10.5% vs 25.7%). Mohs technique did not cause a statistically significant increase in operating time. Applicability of MMS is limited by operator comfort with surgical technique and pathological interpretation of specimens in the oral cavity. The main limitation was that various studies did not report specific patient characteristics. In conclusion, MMS may be an effective treatment for OCC, especially for squamous cell carcinomas, and tumors involving the tongue.

    Abstract The effect of Eimeria on apparent retention (AR) of components and metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) content in corn, wheat, soybean meal (SBM), and pork meal (PM) was investigated in broiler chickens. A total of 840 male d-old Ross 708 chicks were placed in 84 cages (10 birds/cage) and allocated either a nitrogen-free diet (NFD), or 1 of 6 test cornstarch-based semipurified diets: 1) corn, 2) wheat, 3) SBM, 4) PM, 5) corn, SBM, and PM (CSP) mixture, and 6) wheat, SBM, and PM (WSP) mixture (n = 12). Diets contained 0.3% titanium dioxide and nutrient digestibility was determined by difference method using NFD. On d 10, birds in half of replicates per diet were orally challenge with 1 mL of E. acervulina and E. maxima culture and the other half equal volume of saline. Excreta samples were collected from d 12 to 14. With exception of AR of Ca and P, there was no interaction (P > 0.05) between Eimeria and diet on AR of dry matter, crude fat (CF), crude protein and gross energy and AMEn of ingredients. Eimeria reduced AR of CF (P = 0.01) and had a tendency to reduce AR of DM (P = 0.09) and AMEn (P = 0.063) of ingredients. The data demonstrated exposure to Eimeria impacted nutrient retention and energy utilization irrespective to diet composition.

    Abstract Living with a pet is related to a host of socioemotional health benefits for children, yet few studies have examined the mechanisms that drive the relations between pet ownership and positive socioemotional outcomes. The current study examined one of the ways that pets may change the environment through which children learn and whether childhood pet ownership might promote empathy and prosocial behavior through parent-child conversations about emotions and mental states in the presence of a pet dog. Participants included 123 parent (118 mothers, four fathers) and child (65 female, 58 male,

    Abstract Atrophic acne scars are the most common type of acne scars and are classified into three main types: icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars. Various procedures and techniques for atrophic acne scarring are discussed in detail, with stronger evidence-based support for lasers (non-fractional, fractional, ablative, and non-ablative), platelet-rich plasma as adjunctive treatment, chemical peels (glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and Jessner's solution), dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid, and microneedling, and lesser quality evidence for microdermabrasion, subcision, and lipoaspirate grafting. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols, assess the efficacy of monotherapies, and establish standardized guidelines for clinicians. This paper will provide a comprehensive review of the evidence-based management of atrophic acne scars, including currently commonly utilized therapies as well as more innovative treatment options.

    Abstract While normal, controlled wound-healing results in scars that are nearly imperceptible, hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloids are the result of an abnormal wound-healing process that can leave unsightly, difficult-to-treat lesions. While such scars are classically associated with surgical incisions, they may also result from burns or accidental trauma to the skin. Several different measures can be taken to prevent the formation of scars or treat those that have already formed. Prevention focuses on reducing inflammation during the wound-healing process, and minimizing tension in the lesion when appropriate. Treatments range from non-invasive modalities such as pressure therapy, topicals, and symptom management, to invasive methods such as injections, lasers, and even surgery. While some treatments, such as corticosteroid injections, have been used in the treatment of HTS and keloids for decades, other newer therapies have only been described in case reports or are still in early phases of clinical trials. Because optimal scar management will not be the same for every patient, further investigation of newer agents and methods is warranted and may benefit a great number of patients. This paper will review the evidence-based management of scars, including current widely used treatment options and promising newly emerging therapies.

    Abstract Ferns are the second largest clade of vascular plants with over 10,000 species, yet the generation of genomic resources for the group has lagged behind other major clades of plants. Transcriptomic data have proven to be a powerful tool to assess phylogenetic relationships, using thousands of markers that are largely conserved across the genome, and without the need to sequence entire genomes. We assembled the largest nuclear phylogenetic dataset for ferns to date, including 2884 single-copy nuclear loci from 247 transcriptomes (242 ferns, five outgroups), and investigated phylogenetic relationships across the fern tree, the placement of whole genome duplications (WGDs), and gene retention patterns following WGDs. We generated a well-supported phylogeny of ferns and identified several regions of the fern phylogeny that demonstrate high levels of gene tree-species tree conflict, which largely correspond to areas of the phylogeny that have been difficult to resolve. Using a combination of approaches, we identified 27 WGDs across the phylogeny, including 18 large-scale events (involving more than one sampled taxon) and nine small-scale events (involving only one sampled taxon). Most inferred WGDs occur within single lineages (e.g., orders, families) rather than on the backbone of the phylogeny, although two inferred events are shared by leptosporangiate ferns (excluding Osmundales) and Polypodiales (excluding Lindsaeineae and Saccolomatineae), clades which correspond to the majority of fern diversity. We further examined how retained duplicates following WGDs compared across independent events and found that functions of retained genes were largely convergent, with processes involved in binding, responses to stimuli, and certain organelles over-represented in paralogs while processes involved in transport, organelles derived from endosymbiotic events, and signaling were under-represented. To date, our study is the most comprehensive investigation of the nuclear fern phylogeny, though several avenues for future research remain unexplored.

    Abstract The effect of Eimeria challenge on standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in major poultry feed ingredients fed to broiler chickens was determined. A total of 840 male 9-day-old Ross 708 chicks were placed in 84 cages (10 birds/cage) and allocated to either a nitrogen-free diet (NFD) or one of the 6 test diets based on a single or mixture of feed ingredients as the sole source of AA (n = 12). Test diets were: 1) corn, 2) wheat, 3) soybean meal (SBM), 4) pork meal (PM), 5) corn, SBM, and PM (CSP), and 6) wheat, SBM, and PM (WSP). On d 10, birds in 6 cages/diet were orally gavaged with 1 mL of E. acervulina and E. maxima mixture and the other 6 cages with sham. On d 15, birds were bled for plasma AA and necropsied for intestinal lesion scores and ileal digesta samples. Challenge decreased (P < 0.05) plasma concentration of Arg, His, Thr, Asp, Gln, and Tyr and increased concentration of Lys, Ile, Leu, and Val. There was a diet by challenge interaction (P < 0.05) on intestinal lesion scores with birds fed mixed diets exhibiting more severe lesions than birds fed single ingredient diets. Diet by challenge interacted (P < 0.05) on ileal total endogenous flow (ITEF) of AA except for Arg, Met, Ala, Asp, and Cys, such that challenged birds fed the mixed, particularly WSP, had higher ITEF of AA compared to single ingredients birds. Diet and challenge interaction (P < 0.05) was observed for SID of Arg, Thr, Val, Glu, and Gly. Challenge decreased (P < 0.05) SID of most AA except for Met, Asp, and Cys with the largest impact seen on Lys, His, Ser, and Thr. With exception of Arg, Thr, Asp, and Cys, birds fed mixed diets had higher (P < 0.05) SID values compared to birds fed single ingredients. In conclusion, Eimeria reduced plasma availability and ileal digestibility of most AA. However, challenge interaction with diet composition on SID of some AA warrants further investigations.

    Abstract Background In the palliative pathway of single-ventricle physiology, lymphatic abnormalities on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging have been shown after the Glenn operation. It is believed that postsurgical hemodynamic changes contribute to the lymphatic changes.However, little is known about how early these abnormalities occur. Our purpose was to determine if lymphatic abnormalities occur as early as before the Glenn operation. Methods and Results We retrospectively reviewed patients with single-ventricle physiology and a T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan before their Glenn operation (superior cavopulmonary connection) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from 2012 to 2022. Lymphatic perfusion patterns on T2-magnetic resonance imaging were categorized from type 1 (no supraclavicular T2-signal) to type 4 (supraclavicular, mediastinal, lung parenchymal T2-signal). Types 1 and 2 were considered normal variants. Distribution of lymphatic abnormalities were tabulated, as well as secondary outcomes including chylothorax and mortality. Comparison was done using analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Fisher's exact test. Seventy-one children were included: 30 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and 41 with nonhypoplastic left heart syndrome. Lymphatic abnormalities were present before Glenn operation in 21% (type 3) and 20% (type 4), and normal lymphatic perfusion patterns (type 1-2) were seen in 59% of patients. Chylothorax was present in 17% (only types 3 and 4). Pre-Glenn mortality and mortality at any time was significantly increased when having a type 4 lymphatic abnormality compared with types 1 and 2 (
