Background And Objectives: Outcome studies of chondrosarcoma have so far only reported oncological and functional results. Quality-of-life assessment becomes more important because more long-term survival after treatment of malignant diseases occur. The objective of this study is to analyze functional outcome and quality of life.
Methods: Functional evaluation of the patients was carried out according to the MSTS functional scoring system. For assessment of quality of life, questionnaires were used.
Results: Response of the questionnaires sent to 45 disease-free patients was 84%. The mean functional score of these 38 patients was 74% (20-100%). Best functional results were seen after bone graft reconstruction and curettage and cryosurgery with reconstruction. Quality-of-life analysis revealed a mean global health status of 75 (66-84). Furthermore, 24% of the patients experienced severe fatigue. Patients reported more problems with regard to physical functioning and sleep in comparison with healthy controls. No correlation was found between global health status scores and functional scores.
Conclusions: Functional scores depend on the type of treatment with best results after curettage and cryosurgery. Quality-of-life analysis reveals problems on several domains, including fatigue, physical functioning and sleep.

Although nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) fusion oncogenes often drive aggressive pediatric leukemia by altering chromatin structure and expression of HOX genes, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that a Hoxb-associated lncRNA HoxBlinc was aberrantly activated in NUP98-PHF23 fusion-driven leukemias. HoxBlinc chromatin occupancies led to elevated MLL1 recruitment and aberrant homeotic topologically associated domains (TADs) that enhanced chromatin accessibilities and activated homeotic/hematopoietic oncogenes.

Renal osteodystrophy is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to disrupted mineral homeostasis. Given the impaired renal function in these patients, common anti-resorptive agents, including bisphosphonates, must be used with caution or even contraindicated. Therefore, an alternative therapy without renal burden to combat renal osteodystrophy is urgently needed.

The demographic history of a population, and the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of newly arising mutations in functional genomic regions, are fundamental factors dictating both genetic variation and evolutionary trajectories. Although both demographic and DFE inference has been performed extensively in humans, these approaches have generally either been limited to simple demographic models involving a single population, or, where a complex population history has been inferred, without accounting for the potentially confounding effects of selection at linked sites. Taking advantage of the coding-sparse nature of the genome, we propose a 2-step approach in which coalescent simulations are first used to infer a complex multi-population demographic model, utilizing large non-functional regions that are likely free from the effects of background selection.

Background: We aimed to characterize factors associated with the under-studied complication of cognitive decline in aging people with long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Joslin "Medalists" (n = 222; T1D ≥ 50 years) underwent cognitive testing. Medalists (n = 52) and age-matched non-diabetic controls (n = 20) underwent neuro- and retinal imaging.
