Retrospective evaluation of postoperative joint immobilization using a temporary calcaneotibial screw for medial or lateral tarsocrural joint instability in dogs.

Objective: To evaluate the use of a temporary calcaneotibial screw (CTS) to immobilize medial or lateral tarsocrural joint instability (TCI) in dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Animals: Twelve dogs (including five active working farm dogs) with TCI.

Time-resolved infra-red studies of photo-excited porphyrins in the presence of nucleic acids and in HeLa tumour cells: insights into binding site and electron transfer dynamics.

Cationic porphyrins based on the 5,10,15,20--(tetrakis-4--methylpyridyl) core (TMPyP4) have been studied extensively over many years due to their strong interactions with a variety of nucleic acid structures, and their potential use as photodynamic therapeutic agents and telomerase inhibitors. In this paper, the interactions of metal-free TMPyP4 and Pt(II)TMPyP4 with guanine-containing nucleic acids are studied for the first time using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR). In DO solution (where the metal-free form exists as DTMPyP4) both compounds yielded similar TRIR spectra (between 1450-1750 cm) following pulsed laser excitation in their Soret B-absorption bands.

Whole-genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia identifies subgroups with distinct biological and clinical features.

The value of genome-wide over targeted driver analyses for predicting clinical outcomes of cancer patients is debated. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of 485 chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients enrolled in clinical trials as part of the United Kingdom's 100,000 Genomes Project. We identify an extended catalog of recurrent coding and noncoding genetic mutations that represents a source for future studies and provide the most complete high-resolution map of structural variants, copy number changes and global genome features including telomere length, mutational signatures and genomic complexity.
