Abstract
INTRODUCTION Historically, patients with unilateral high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and contralateral low-grade or resolved VUR have been treated with bilateral intravesical ureteral reimplantation, which requires postoperative admission. If the high-grade VUR side is treated alone, then the contralateral side is at risk of developing recurrent or worsening VUR. Bilateral subureteric injection of dextronomer/hyaluronic acid (DHA) is another option that can be performed as an outpatient therapy, but a single injection is less effective for high-grade VUR. OBJECTIVE The safety and efficacy of an outpatient combination of open extravesical ureteral reimplantation (EVUR) and contralateral DHA injection were investigated. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of children who had concomitant EVUR and subureteric injection of DHA between January 2005 and December 2015 was performed. Exclusion criteria were diagnosis other than VUR, repeat procedures, and patients with no follow-up. Patient characteristics, postsurgical complications, and follow-up imaging were evaluated. Febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) was defined as ≥50,000 Colony Forming Units (CFU) of an organism from clean-catch or catheterized urine and temperature ≥ 101.5 F. Clinical success is defined as no fUTI for 1 year after the initial operation. Univariate analyses were used to identify risk factors for treatment failure. RESULTS A total of 117 patients met inclusion criteria. Mean age at surgery was 6.0 years, and 85% were female. The mean pre-operative grade of VUR was 3.3 on the EVUR side and 0.6 on the contralateral side (42% resolved before treatment). Median follow-up was 12.2 months (interquartile range, 3.1-25.4). Sixteen patients (14%) had documented fUTI within 1 year, with a clinical success rate of 86%. Of these, five had a postoperative imaging showing resolution of VUR, increasing overall success to 91%. Postoperative fUTI was more common in patients with pre-operative bowel and bladder dysfunction (BBD) (P = 0.003), but this was not associated with a higher reoperation rate (P = 0.168). There were 11 total complications, with three grade 3 complications. DISCUSSION This study is the first to report safety and outcomes of EVUR and contralateral DHA injection for patients with high-grade VUR with contralateral low-grade or resolved VUR. It was shown that it is an effective and safe treatment that can be performed as an outpatient therapy. Limitations to this study include the retrospective design and the clinical definition of success that is used in a cohort of patients from across the mountain west region without routine postoperative voiding cystourethrogram. CONCLUSION Extravesical ureteral reimplantation and contralateral DHA injection can safely be performed as an outpatient therapy and are effective in the treatment of higher grade VUR with contralateral low-grade or resolved VUR. Treatment failure is more likely in patients with BBD.

Abstract
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease, frequently associated with multiple comorbidities. Its management is hampered by a lack of translation of evidence on chronicity and pathophysiology into clinical practice. Also, it is not well understood how to support effective provider-patient communication that adequately addresses patients' personal root causes and barriers and helps them feel capable to take action for their health. This study examined interpersonal processes during clinical consultations, their impacts, and outcomes with the aim to develop an approach to personalized obesity assessment and care planning. We used a qualitative, explorative design with 20 participants with obesity, sampling for maximum variation, to examine video-recorded consultations, patient interviews at three time points, provider interviews and patient journals. Analysis was grounded in a dialogic interactional perspective and found eight key processes that supported patients in making changes to improve health: compassion and listening; making sense of root causes and contextual factors in the patient's story; recognizing strengths; reframing misconceptions about obesity; focusing on whole-person health; action planning; fostering reflection and experimenting. Patient outcomes include activation, improved physical and psychological health. The proposed approach fosters emphatic care relationships and sensible care plans that support patients in making manageable changes to improve health.

Abstract
The occurrence of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) is low compared to that of immune-mediated disorders of autoimmune or atopic origin. However, progress in basic and clinical immunology over the past 3–4 decades has facilitated not only improved detection of PIDs, but has also created an awareness of an expanding spectrum of these conditions. Given that those who suffer from the most severe types of PID experience life-threatening microbial and viral infections usually from an early age, prompt recognition and definitive diagnosis enable implementation of appropriate prophylaxis and therapy, and, most importantly, corrective, immunorestoration using allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The purpose of the current review is therefore to alert family physicians to the presentation and types of PID that they may encounter in clinical practice, as well as to immunological screening procedures that can be undertaken to confirm or exclude the existence of the most common types of PID. This is followed by a consideration of prophylactic and therapeutic options and, finally, by a brief overview of gene therapy and gene-editing strategies that may offer alternatives to, or eventually replace, stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Lathosterolosis is a rare defect of cholesterol synthesis. Only four previous cases have been reported, two of whom were siblings. We report a fifth patient, with a relatively mild phenotype. He presented at 5 years of age with bilateral posterior cataracts, which were managed with lensectomies and intraocular lens implants. He also had learning difficulties, with a full-scale IQ of 64 at 11 years of age. His head circumference is between the 0.4th and 2nd centiles, and he has mild hypotonia and subtle dysmorphism (a high-arched palate, anteverted nostrils, long philtrum and clinodactyly of toes). The diagnosis was established after sequencing a panel of genes associated with cataracts, which revealed compound heterozygous SC5D mutations: c.479C>G p.(Pro160Arg) and c.630C>A p.(Asp210Glu). The plasma lathosterol concentration was markedly raised at 219.8 μmol/L (control range 0.53-16.0), confirming the diagnosis. The c.630C>A p.(Asp210Glu) mutation has been reported in one previous patient, who also had a relatively mild phenotype (Ho et al., JIMD Rep 12:129-134, 2014). The mutation leads to a relatively conservative amino acid substitution, consistent with some residual enzyme activity. Our patient's family did not notice any benefit from treatment with simvastatin. In summary, milder patients with lathosterolosis may present with learning difficulties, cataracts and very subtle dysmorphism. The diagnosis will be missed unless plasma sterols are analysed or relevant genes sequenced.

Abstract
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is caused by different prion strains that are discriminated by the molecular characteristics of the pathological prion protein. In 2011, Switzerland reported two presumptive cases of BSE in cattle with a prion protein phenotype different from previously described strains, and it was unclear whether these findings were related to a transmissible disease and have implications on animal and public health. In this study, brain tissues of these cases were inoculated into transgenic mice expressing the bovine prion protein (BoPrP-Tg110) and into cattle. Clinical and pathological investigations as well as molecular testing did not provide evidence for the presence of BSE in the Swiss cases after two passages in BoPrP-Tg110 mice and a challenge period of 3.5 years in cattle. This lack of disease transmission suggests that the Swiss 2011 cases were not affected by a prion disease and were unrelated to the feed-born BSE epidemic.

Abstract
To date, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical trials have been largely unsuccessful. Failures have been attributed to a number of factors including ineffective drugs, inadequate targets, and poor trial design, of which the choice of endpoint is crucial. Using data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, we have calculated the minimum detectable effect size (MDES) in change from baseline of a range of measures over time, and in different diagnostic groups along the AD development trajectory. The Functional Activities Questionnaire score had the smallest MDES for a single endpoint where an effect of 27% could be detected within 3 years in participants with Late Mild Cognitive Impairment (LMCI) at baseline, closely followed by the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDRSB) score at 28% after 2 years in the same group. Composite measures were even more successful than single endpoints with an MDES of 21% in 3 years. Using alternative cognitive, imaging, functional, or composite endpoints, and recruiting patients that have LMCI could improve the success rate of AD clinical trials.
