Abstract
PURPOSE In the last edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) showing microscopic extrathyroidal extension (mETE) are considered comparable to intrathyroidal cancers for their clinical behavior and prognosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of this updated assessment of T, when applied to the postoperative recurrence risk stratification, according to the American Thyroid Association Guidelines (ATA-RR). METHODS One-hundred DTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy were retrospectively evaluated. The downstaging of mETE was introduced in the definition of T, and the updated classification defined as modified ATA-RR (ATAm-RR). For each patient, post-surgical basal and stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels, neck ultrasound (US) and post-ablative 131-I whole body scan (WBS) reports were considered. The predictive performance (PP) of disease recurrence was calculated both for each single parameter, as well as for all of them. RESULTS According to ATAm-RR classification, 19/100 patients (19%) were downstaged. ATA-RR proved a significant PP for disease recurrence (DR) (sensitivity 75.0%, specificity 63.0%, p = 0.023). However, ATAm-RR performed slightly better due to an increased specificity (sensitivity 75.0%, specificity 83.7%, p < 0.001). For both classifications, the PP was optimal when all the above-mentioned predictive parameters were considered. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the new assessment of T considering mETE resulted in a downgrading of ATA-RR class in a significant number of patients. This provides a better PP for disease recurrence, and the best PP was obtained when considering the whole predictive variables together.

Background and Purpose
Interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is often poorly performed, affecting time critical patient care. There are no reliable methods that consistently bridge the gap between novices and competency. However, the development of a framework allowing a step-wise approach to interpret the ECG based on relevant signals might help. Indeed, in addition to expert teaching, a pilot study of this algorithm significantly improves sustained ECG interpretation in medical students. This study aimed to validate the ECG algorithm tool by confirming the appropriateness of its step-wise components through expert cardiologists.
Methods
A Modified Delphi Exercise protocol was used. Cardiologists were invited to participate in a questionnaire through an online survey tool. Expert participants evaluated each stage of the ECG algorithm through multiple levels of agreement and explained their decision making with the option of free-text comments. These were collated and analysed by the four authors and changes subsequently made. The process was repeated, with evaluation of the changes from each round until a predetermined level of agreement was achieved.
Results
This Modified Delphi Exercise produced two rounds. Overall, 55 responses from experts was achieved (first round = 33, round two = 22). The average agreement in round one was 85.8% with 25 changes from 124 comments. Round two achieved 93.4% agreement with 12 changes from 57 comments. After discussion by four authors, a consensus was reached and a final algorithm was achieved. Figure 1 shows the bradycardia section of the final algorithm (tachycardia and ST/T-wave/ischaemia sections not shown).
Conclusions
We have validated an ECG algorithm through a rigorous development and review process in a multi-institutional and multi-national Modified Delphi study. The completed expert reviewed algorithm may be a safe, informative tool for novice users to improve ECG interpretation. However, further validation in user groups is now mandated to refine the tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to judge the reliability of evaluating thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (f-T4) in the morning and afternoon in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients. METHODS We evaluated 153 DTC patients, aged 61 ± 13 years, in active follow-up in our center after primary treatments and under stabilized levo-thyroxine (L-T4) posology. In each patient, morning and afternoon examinations were performed 1-3 months apart. Blood samples were collected at 08:00-09:00 h and 15:00-16:00 h. TSH and f-T4 were evaluated in both samples. Thyroglobulin (Tg), Tg-antibodies and neck ultrasonography were also evaluated. RESULTS According to clinical and laboratory examinations, 92% of patients were disease-free, 6% had biochemical disease, and 2% structural disease. L-T4 dosages (1.64 ± 0.38 µg/kg b.w.) proved the same on both occasions, despite slight changes in body weight or L-T4 posology in 15% of patients. Free-T4 values were significantly higher in the afternoon (21.5 ± 0.3 pmol/L) than in the morning (18.8 ± 0.4 pmol/L; P < 0.0001), whereas TSH values were statistically unchanged (morning 0.85 ± 0.25 mIU/L; afternoon 0.72 ± 0.20 mIU/L). There was a significant correlation (P < 0.0001) between the two TSH determinations in the same patients. CONCLUSIONS In DTC patients, follow-up examination consists of clinical and laboratory evaluations. The majority of patients have good disease control. Our study suggests that the adequacy of L-T4 therapy can be monitored equally well either in the morning or in the afternoon. Afternoon examinations can alleviate crowding in hospital ambulatories in the morning.

Abstract
During limb development, the spatio-temporal expression of sonic hedgehog (SHH) is driven by the Zone of polarizing activity Regulatory Sequence (ZRS), located 1 megabase upstream from SHH. Gain-of-function mutations of this enhancer, which cause ectopic expression of SHH, are known to be responsible for congenital limb malformations with variable expressivity, ranging from preaxial polydactyly or triphalangeal thumbs to polysyndactyly, which may also be associated with mesomelic deficiency. In this report, we describe a patient affected with mirror-image polydactyly of the four extremities and bilateral tibial deficiency. The proband's father had isolated preaxial polydactyly type II (PPD2). Using Sanger sequencing, a ZRS point mutation (NC_000007.14, g.156584153A>G, UCSC, Build hg.19) was only identified in the patient. However, pyrosequencing analysis enabled the detection of a 10% somatic mosaic in the blood and saliva from the father. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a ZRS mosaic mutation. This report highlights the complexity of genotype-phenotype correlation in ZRS-associated syndromes and the importance of detecting somatic mosaicism for accurate genetic counselling.

Abstract
In addition to analysis of the genetic code, in recent years more and more studies have concentrated on changes in the epigenetic code. Epigenetic mechanisms determine which genes in a cell are transcribed and thus form the phenotype of a cell. The epigenetic code can be changed by environmental influences, which allows cells to adapt to longstanding changes in the environment. Therefore, it is feasible to assume that epigenetic changes are the molecular basis for long-term effects of the environment on disease development. In particular in tumors and chronic inflammatory diseases epigenetic changes were found to correlate with disease severity and progression. Knowledge about these epigenetic changes might help that epigenetic modifications can be used in the future as biomarkers, prognostic factors and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Abstract The SCID mouse model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an established and reliable approach to examining the distinct mechanisms operative in RA synovium, and evaluating novel gene therapy strategies. However, serum concentrations of circulating gene therapy products following gene transfer are frequently too low to allow detection. This problem stimulated us to develop a novel implantation technique to improve the yield of these soluble gene products. Synovial fibroblasts from patients with RA were cultured, passaged, and transduced with Ad5 sTNFRp55:Ig. sTNFRp55:Ig production was confirmed by ELISA, and then cells were implanted into SCID mice using a novel implantation strategy in which pieces of human cartilage were engrafted into a fibroblast-saturated inert sponge. Thereafter, the sponges were implanted under the skin of the mice instead of under the kidney capsule, as in the original approach, allowing co-implantation of larger pieces of cartilage together with higher numbers of adenovirus-transduced RA synovial fibroblasts. The improved implantation technique not only resulted in a reduction in the number of mice needed in each experiment by approximately 60%, and a reduction of the time taken for surgery by about 50%, but also considerably enhanced the serum concentrations of the gene product sTNFRp55-Ig, allowing detection of the soluble TNF receptor p55 by standard ELISA. In summary, the improved implantation technique for the SCID mouse model for RA results in more economic animal treatment, and facilitates the detection and quantification of circulating gene products following adenovirus-based gene transfer into synovial fibroblasts.
