Multiple gestations with concurrent intrauterine devices (IUDs) are rare events. We handled the case of a woman who discovered she was pregnant with triplets after the 12th week of gestation. Upon the mother's request the IUD was removed immediately and the pregnancy led a normal course until the planned caeserean delivery of three baby girls. This is the first report of triplet births after an early sharing occupancy of the narrow uterine cavity with an IUD. Such a gestation upon discovery should not automatically be presumed undesirable. Especially when faith issues are predominant such cases may end with satisfied parents as demonstrated in this case.

The routine use of next-generation sequencing methods has underscored the genetic and clonal heterogeneity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), subsequently ushering in an era of precision medicine-based targeted therapies exemplified by the small-molecule inhibitors of FLT3, IDH1/IDH2, and BCL2. This advent of targeted drugs in AML has broadened the spectrum of antileukemic therapies, and the approval of venetoclax in combination with a hypomethylating agent has been a welcome addition to our AML patients unable to tolerate intensive chemotherapy. Mounting evidence demonstrates that molecularly targeted agents combined with epigenetic therapies exhibit synergistic augmented leukemic cell kill compared to single-agent therapy.

Objective: The objective of this longitudinal, observational study was to investigate change over time in ability to perform activities of daily living in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
Methods: Adults with genetically confirmed DM1 were recruited as part of the PhenoDM1 study in the UK. Data on activities of daily living were recorded through the DM1-Activ at baseline and a follow-up visit after 12 (± 3) months.
Gas-phase synthesis of the benzyl radical (C(6)H(5)CH(2)).

Dicarbon (C2 ), the simplest bare carbon molecule, is ubiquitous in the interstellar medium and in combustion flames. A gas-phase synthesis is presented of the benzyl radical (C6 H5 CH2 ) by the crossed molecular beam reaction of dicarbon, C2 (X(1) Σg (+) , a(3) Πu ), with 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene; C5 H8 ; X(1) A') accessing the triplet and singlet C7 H8 potential energy surfaces (PESs) under single collision conditions. The experimental data combined with ab initio and statistical calculations reveal the underlying reaction mechanism and chemical dynamics.

Betancur-R and Ortí (2014) offer a criticism of our recent examination of the monophyly of extant flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes; Campbell et al., 2013). We welcome this opportunity to examine and respond to the main issues presented in Betancur-R and Ortí (2014).
