Background: Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) are present ~2.6 x 106 human worldwide. sSMC are a heterogeneous group of derivative chromosomes concerning their clinical consequences as well as their chromosomal origin and shape. Besides the sSMC present in Emanuel syndrome, i.e. der(22)t(11;22)(q23;q11), only few so-called complex sSMC are reported.
Results: Here we report three new cases of unique complex sSMC. One was a de novo case with a dic(13 or 21;22) and two were maternally derived: a der(18)t(8;18) and a der(13 or 21)t(13 or 21;18). Thus, in summary, now 22 cases of unique complex sSMC are available in the literature. However, this special kind of sSMC might be under-diagnosed among sSMC-carriers.
Conclusion: More comprehensive characterization of sSMC and approaches like reverse fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or array based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) might identify them to be more frequent than only ~0.9% among all sSMC.

Objective: To explore the value of applying multiple genetic testing techniques for the prenatal diagnosis of Turner syndrome fetuses with complex mosaic small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC).
Methods: Chromosomal karyotypes of amniotic fluid samples from 5 030 pregnant women who had undergone amniocentesis at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Three fetuses with complex mosaicism fetuses (carrying 2 types of sSMC) were selected as the study subjects.
Surgical training trends in the Americas: A cross-continental assessment of minimally invasive surgery and open surgery among surgical trainees.

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become standard of care in many high-income countries, but its adoption in low- and middle-income countries (LICs/MICs) has been impeded by resource- and training-related barriers. We hypothesized that trainees in MICs perform MIS procedures less often, and that as procedure complexity increases, the rate of MIS decreases.
Methods: A 22-question survey, distributed to representative leaders across Latin America, collected country-specific graduating trainee case requirements and volumes for four index procedures (cholecystectomy, appendectomy, inguinal hernia repair, colectomy) using MIS or open surgery (OS).

Article Synopsis
- The common tendinous ring (CTR) is a key anatomical structure at the intersection of important areas in the skull that is vital for neurosurgery and eye-related surgeries.
- The study involved dissecting skull specimens to understand the 3D structure and relationships of the CTR with surrounding tendons and canals.
- Findings highlight the CTR's unique dual-ring configuration and emphasize the need for careful surgical techniques to safely navigate this complex area.

The majority of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) are derived from one single chromosome. Complex sSMCs, on the other hand, consist of genetic material derived from more than one, normally two chromosomes. Complex sSMCs involving chromosomes 8 and 14 are rarely encountered.
