Genetics of congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: peculiarities and phenotype of an oligogenic disease
Abstract A genetic basis of congenital isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) can be defined in almost 50% of cases, albeit not necessarily the complete genetic basis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have led to the discovery of a great number of loci, each of which has illuminated our understanding of human gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, either in respect of their embryonic development or their neuroendocrine regulation as the “pilot light” of...

Vulval Intestinal/Enteric Heterotopia in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease
Intestinal/enteric heterotopia of the vulva is an extremely rare disease with only 3 cases described in the literature. We report here an unusual case of this disease occurring in a 26-year-old patient in a context of Crohn’s disease. To the best of our knowledge, such type of association has not been previously described. The potential origins of these lesions including metaplastic transformation, dysontogenetic changes, or epithelial colonic displacement/implantation are discussed.

Communications between the superficial and deep fibular nerves in the foot: an anatomical and electrophysiological study
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION The deep fibular sensory nerve can be recorded to evaluate for peripheral nerve injury, however it can be challenging in some individuals. Anatomic variation could account for some of this difficulty. Cadaver dissection and electrophysiologic testing was used to characterize deep and superficial fibular sensory nerve supply to the foot. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen feet from 15 (8 males and 7 females) cadavers were dissected to identify the deep fibular [and...

ABSTRACT Introduction The shape of the talus determines the positional and kinematic features of the subtalar, talonavicular, and talocrural joints during walking. Thus, detailed knowledge of the pattern of sexual dimorphism of the human talus may be useful for revealing the pathogenetic mechanism of foot and knee disorders, which are more prevalent in females. The aim of this study was to characterize and visualize the three‐dimensional shape variations of the talus in relation to sex and...

Tortuosity of Superior Cerebral Veins: Comparative MRI Morphometrics in Normal Subjects and Arteriovenous Malformation Patients
ABSTRACT Blood vessel tortuosity results from increased diameter and length in response to higher hemodynamic loads. Tortuosity metrics have not been determined for abnormal superior cerebral veins (SCVs) draining cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Draining vein (DV) tortuosity may influence safety and efficacy of retrograde microcatheter navigation during transvenous treatment of pial AVMs. Here we quantify SCV tortuosity in normal subjects and AVM patients using two image segmentation...

Germline epigenetic inheritance: Challenges and opportunities for linking human paternal experience with offspring biology and health
Abstract Recently, novel experimental approaches and molecular techniques have demonstrated that a male's experiences can be transmitted through his germline via epigenetic processes. These findings suggest that paternal exposures influence phenotypic variation in unexposed progeny–a proposal that runs counter to canonical ideas about inheritance developed during the 20th century. Nevertheless, support for paternal germline epigenetic inheritance (GEI) in nonhuman mammals continues to grow and the...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Hypoxia reportedly does not impair thermoregulation during exercise in compensable heat stress conditions, but whether it has an impact on maximal heat dissipation and therefore the critical environmental limit for the physiological compensability of core temperature is unknown.
