Non-Obstetric Vulvar/Paravaginal Hematoma in an Adolescent Girl with Scleroderma: An Opportunity for Intimate Partner Violence Intervention.

Description A 15-year-old female presented to the emergency department with swelling and pain in her left labial region as well as urinary retention after intercourse. This was the patient's first time having sexual intercourse and the patient stated that her boyfriend "kneed" her in the labia. A CT scan of the pelvis revealed a large vulvar/external hematoma measuring 6 × 10 × 7 cm which extended into the vaginal vault.

Mutation analysis of Drosophila dikar/CG32394, homologue of the chromatin-remodelling gene CECR2.

The mammalian CECR2 protein contains a highly conserved bromodomain and forms a chromatin-remodelling complex with the ISWI homologue SNF2L. Mutation of the mouse CECR2 homologue results in a neural tube defect. Here we describe the characterization of the Drosophila melanogaster homologue of CECR2.

CECR2, a protein involved in neurulation, forms a novel chromatin remodeling complex with SNF2L.

Chromatin remodeling complexes play critical roles in development. Here we describe a transcription factor, CECR2, which is involved in neurulation and chromatin remodeling. CECR2 shows complex alternative splicing, but all variants contain DDT and bromodomain motifs.
