Article Synopsis
- - Radical enzymes, particularly the glycyl radical enzyme (GRE) family, perform complex chemical reactions crucial for various biological functions, and they all include a key glycine residue that forms a vital α-carbon radical.
- - Researchers found numerous noncanonical GRE homologs that use alanine, serine, or threonine instead of glycine, challenging previous assumptions about radical enzyme structure.
- - These newly identified aminoacyl radical enzymes (AAREs) can generate stable α-carbon radicals when activated by specific partner enzymes and are common in microbial genomes, highlighting their significance and potential for novel chemical reactions.
Objectives: To assess the prevalence and predictors of chronic pelvic pain in a general urology population presenting for evaluation of unrelated non-painful complaints.Generalized pelvic pain is estimated to afflict between 6% and 26% of women and is often multifactorial in aetiology. A paucity of prospective research exists to characterize chronic pelvic pain patterns and to understand related predictors.

Following rapid implementation of remote video visits at our tertiary academic medical center serving a large rural population we describe and assess our experience with planned video visits and ongoing scheduling efforts.
Methods: Patients scheduled for video visits between April 14 and April 27, 2020 were included.
Introduction: Telemedicine video visits are an under-utilized form of delivering health care. However due to the COVID-19 pandemic, practices are rapidly adapting telemedicine for patient care. We describe our experience in rapidly introducing video visits in a tertiary academic pediatric urology practice, serving primarily rural patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy with primary focus on procedural complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III). Clinical data were collected including radiation dose, procedure performed, timing of complication, and need for additional procedures.
