Rare Causes of Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Adults: Our Experience
Abstract Bilateral hearing loss is attributed to almost 50% of times with genetic etiology, while most unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (USNHL) are not attributable to it. Limited literature is available on epidemiology of USNHL. Etiology of USNHL is very diverse and vast, it ranges from as common as Meniere’s disease to as rare as an electric shock injury. A prospective study was carried out to find rare causes of USNHL in adults. In this manuscript, we present a case series...

Ultrasonography of the ulnar nerve in the elbow: video article
Abstract Disorders affecting the ulnar nerve in the elbow are common in clinical practice. The diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation and electrodiagnostic tests, but imaging examinations are frequently necessary, particularly for the identification of the structures associated with nerve compression. The purpose of this video article is to review the anatomy, the pathology, scanning techniques, and sonographic appearance of the ulnar nerve in the elbow.

Consensus guidelines for managing the airway in patients with COVID‐19
Summary Severe acute respiratory syndrome‐corona virus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), is highly contagious. Airway management of patients with COVID‐19 is high risk to staff and patients. We aimed to develop principles for airway management of patients with COVID‐19 to encourage safe, accurate and swift performance. This consensus statement has been brought together at short notice to advise on airway management for patients with COVID‐19, drawing on published...

Practical considerations in the anaesthetic management of patients during a COVID‐19 epidemic
Abstract We read with interest the excellent Association guidelines [1] for the anaesthetic management of patients during a COVID‐19 outbreak. We concur with these guidelines, which are not dissimilar to our hospital’s protocols since Singapore reported its first case of COVID‐19 on 23 January 2020. To date, there have been 226 confirmed cases in Singapore with no deaths reported [2]. We are preparing for many more when community transmission becomes widespread and every patient presenting for...

The Italian COVID‐19 outbreak: experiences and recommendations from clinical practice
Summary Novel coronavirus 2019 is a single‐stranded, ribonucleic acid virus that has led to an international pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Clinical data from the Chinese outbreak have been reported, but experiences and recommendations from clinical practice during the Italian outbreak have not. We report the impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak on regional and national healthcare infrastructure. We also report on recommendations based on clinical experiences of managing patients throughout...

Summary On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the outbreak of a coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) was a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The WHO guidance states that patients with COVID‐19 should be managed by staff wearing appropriate personal protective equipment; however, working whilst wearing personal protective equipment is unfamiliar to many healthcare professionals. We ran high‐fidelity, in situ simulation of high‐risk procedures on patients...

Videolaryngoscopy increases ‘mouth‐to‐mouth’ distance compared with direct laryngoscopy
Abstract The COVID‐19 outbreak has resulted in the consideration of videolaryngoscopy (VL) for tracheal intubation of patients during an outbreak [1,2]. Benefits of VL compared with a standard curved Macintosh (MAC) blade include postural advantages, improved view for the laryngoscopist and assistants, enhanced supervision and easier management of unanticipated difficult airways [3].

The inhibition of Kir2.1 potassium channels depolarizes spinal microglial cells, reduces their proliferation, and attenuates neuropathic pain
Main Points Two days after SNI, Kir2.1 current density in dorsal horn microglial cells increases coincidently with cell proliferation. Intrathecal administration of ML133, a Kir2.1 inhibitor, reduces allodynia and cell proliferation. Abstract Spinal microglia change their phenotype and proliferate after nerve injury, contributing to neuropathic pain. For the first time, we have characterized the electrophysiological properties of microglia and the potential role of microglial potassium...

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Statin Use
Abstract Introduction Statins were proposed to be neuroprotective; however, the effects are unknown in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a pure tauopathy. Methods Data of 284 PSP cases and 284 age‐matched, sex‐matched, and race‐matched controls were obtained from the environmental and genetic PSP (ENGENE‐PSP) study. Cases were evaluated with the PSP Rating Scale, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Mattis Dementia Rating Scale, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Statin associations...

Disease‐causing Missense Mutations within the N‐terminal Transmembrane Domain of GlcNAc‐1‐phosphotransferase Impair Endoplasmic Reticulum Translocation or Golgi Retention
Abstract Transport of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes to the lysosome requires tagging of these enzymes with the mannose 6‐phosphate moiety by UDP‐GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme N‐acetylglucosamine‐1‐phosphotransferase (GlcNAc‐1‐phosphotransferase), encoded by two genes, GNPTAB and GNPTG. GNPTAB encodes the α and β subunits, which are initially synthesized as a single precursor that is cleaved by Site‐1 protease in the Golgi. Mutations in this gene cause the lysosomal storage disorders mucolipidosis...

Intermediate confounding in trio relationships: The importance of complete data in effect size estimation
Abstract We present an important characteristic of trio models which may lead to bias and loss of power when one parent is unmodeled in trio analyses. Motivated by recent interest in estimating parental effects on postnatal and later‐life phenotypes, we consider a causal model where each parent has both an effect on their child's phenotype which is mediated through the genotype transmitted to the child and a direct effect on the phenotype through the parentally provided environment. We derive the...

Effective SNP ranking improves the performance of eQTL mapping
Abstract Genome‐wide expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) mapping explores the relationship between gene expression and DNA variants, such as single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), to understand genetic basis of human diseases. Due to the large number of genes and SNPs that need to be assessed, current methods for eQTL mapping often suffer from low detection power, especially for identifying trans‐eQTLs. In this paper, we propose the idea of performing SNP ranking based on the higher criticism...

Calreticulin regulates a switch between osteoblast and chondrocyte lineages derived from murine embryonic stem cells [Signal Transduction]
Calreticulin is a highly conserved, ubiquitous Ca2+ buffering protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that controls transcriptional activity of various developmental programs and also of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Calreticulin activates calcineurin, which dephosphorylates and induces the nuclear import of the osteogenic transcription regulator- nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATC1). We investigated whether calreticulin controls a switch between osteogenesis and chondrogenesis...

Structural basis of substrate recognition and catalysis by fucosyltransferase 8 [Protein Structure and Folding]
Fucosylation of the inner-most N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) of N-glycans by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) is an important step in the maturation of complex and hybrid N-glycans. This simple modification can dramatically affect the activities and half-lives of glycoproteins, effects that are relevant to understanding the invasiveness of some cancers, the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics, and the etiology of a congenital glycosylation disorder. The acceptor substrate preferences of FUT8...

It takes two (Las1 HEPN endoribonuclease Domains) to cut RNA correctly [RNA]
The ribosome biogenesis factor, Las1 is an essential endoribonuclease that is well conserved across eukaryotes and a newly established member of the higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding (HEPN) domain-containing nuclease family. HEPN nucleases participate in diverse RNA cleavage pathways and share a short HEPN nuclease motif (RΦxxxH) important for RNA cleavage. While most HEPN nucleases participate in stress-activated RNA cleavage pathways, Las1 plays a fundamental role in processing...
