    Abstract Background: The concept of delayed skeletal maturity in Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) has been well identified with the Greulich and Pyle (GP) atlas showing 1 to 2 years delay. Recently the optimized Oxford hip skeletal age (Optimized Oxford) system has been developed and shown to have similar accuracy as the GP atlas for assessing skeletal maturity. However, this system has not been used to assess skeletal maturity in LCPD.
    Methods: A retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter study of patients with LCPD treated from 1984 to 1991 and followed to skeletal maturity was performed. We identified all patients who had a left-hand radiograph at the time of presentation with an accompanying anteroposterior pelvis radiograph including the contralateral hip. Patients were excluded if their age at presentation fell outside the validated range for the Optimized Oxford system. GP atlas was used to determine bone age using left-hand radiographs and the nonaffected hip radiographs were used to calculate the Optimized Oxford bone age. Skeletal maturity indices were compared with chronological age (CA) to determine the discrepancy between methodologies.
    Results: A total of 71 patients met inclusion criteria (mean 9.5 ± 1.2 y at presentation, 42.2% females). The mean GP bone age was 1.4 years younger than CA (95% CI: 1.01-1.76 y), with the discrepancy being greater for boys than girls (1.8 vs 0.86 y, P = 0.02). The mean Optimized Oxford bone age was 0.31 years older than CA (95% CI: 0.24-0.38 y) and correlated significantly with CA ( R = 0.97, P < 0.001). There were no sex differences in the Optimized Oxford bone age relative to CA ( P = 0.32). The GP bone age was a mean of 1.7 years younger than the Optimized Oxford bone age (95% CI: 1.35-2.05 y).
    Conclusion: Skeletal maturity assessment in children with LCPD varies according to the utilized maturity system. The Optimized Oxford bone age more closely mirrors the patient's CA and does not correlate with the GP bone age, which reveals a delayed maturation.

    Abstract Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) is associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. Prompt recognition and treatment of sHTG is key for prevention of acute pancreatitis and its associated life-threatening complications.
    Local problem: Patients with sHTG at a primary care clinic within the Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Health Care System were receiving suboptimal treatment that did not align with evidence-based guidelines.
    Methods: We initiated a quality improvement (QI) project to improve the management of sHTG in an outpatient primary care clinic. Veterans with a triglyceride level between 500 and 1,500 mg/dl were included in the project.
    Interventions: Project interventions included provider education, patient education, and targeted electronic consultations (e-consults) with treatment recommendations. The primary outcome was to decrease the percentage of patients with triglycerides ≥500 mg/dl by 25%. The secondary outcome was to decrease the mean triglyceride level of the patient population by 15%.
    Results: Education on evaluation and treatment of sHTG was given to 100% (n = 21) of primary care clinicians. Overall, 72.8% (95% CI [62.6-81.6%]) of patients (n = 67) received appropriate written education materials, and 72.8% (95% CI [62.6-81.6%]) of patients (n = 67) received a targeted e-consult. The percentage of patients with sHTG decreased by 47%. Average triglyceride level decreased from 651 to 483 mg/dl (25.8% decrease).
    Conclusion: A multipronged QI project consisting of provider education, patient education, and targeted e-consults resulted in decreased triglyceride levels and improved access to specialist expertise. Clinical implications include decreased prevalence of sHTG and risk of acute pancreatitis among patients in the project.

    Abstract Aromatase (Cyp19a1) is a steroidogenic enzyme that functions to convert aromatizable androgens into bioactive estrogens. The teleost brain is known to have the highest levels of aromatase activity among vertebrates, yet we know relatively little about the function of local estrogen production in teleost behavior. This review compares and contrasts the findings from behavioral studies in the visual, auditory, electrosensory, and olfactory systems, with expression studies in the brain and peripheral nervous system to identify pathways for aromatase effects on teleost behavior. I will first describe aromatase expression at the cellular level in the teleost brain. I will then review evidence for an effect of aromatase activity in sensory perception across different communication systems, followed by a comparison of its effects in the signal production circuitry of vocal and electrogenic teleosts. The findings presented demonstrate that aromatase expression is well conserved in the sensory afferent nerve fibers across communication systems, despite the paucity of study to date on the effects of locally produced estrogens in sensory perception. It is also apparent that there are numerous other locations of aromatase expression within sensory pathways, drawing attention to the need for more localized inhibition studies to understand the function of local estrogen production in distinct regions. The findings in the last section of this review show that differences in vocal call production in the plainfin midshipman fish likely involve differences in aromatase expression in the hindbrain control nucleus, whilst this relationship does not appear to be conserved in the brown ghost knifefish for electromotor production. Therefore, local estrogen function in signaling behavior at the organismal level likely differs between these communication systems, though its effects at the cellular level remain to be determined.

    Abstract In excess of 13,000 chemicals are added to plastics ('additives') to improve performance, durability, and production of plastic products. They are categorized into numerous chemical classes including flame retardants, light stabilizers, antioxidants, and plasticizers. While research on plastic additives in the marine environment has increased over the past decade, there is a lack of methodological standardization. To direct future measurement of plastic additives, we compiled a first-of-its-kind dataset of literature assessing plastic additives in marine environments, delineated by sample type (plastic debris, seawater, sediment, biota). Using this dataset, we performed a meta-analysis to summarize the state of the science. Currently, our dataset includes 217 publications published between 1978 and May 2023. The majority of publications analyzed plastic additives in biota collected from Europe and Asia. Analyses concentrated on plasticizers, brominated flame retardants, and bisphenols. Common sample preparation techniques included Solvent - Agitation extraction for plastic, sediment, and biota samples, and Solid Phase Extraction for seawater samples with dichloromethane and solvent mixtures including dichloromethane as the organic extraction solvent. Finally, most analyses were performed utilizing gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. There are a variety of data gaps illuminated by this meta-analysis, most notably the small number of compounds that have been targeted for detection compared to the large number of additives used in plastic production. The provided dataset facilitates future investigation of trends in plastic additive concentration data in the marine environment (allowing for comparison to toxicity thresholds) and acts as a starting point for optimizing and harmonizing plastic additive analytical methods.
