Basal cell nevus syndrome (aka Gorlin syndrome, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and fifth phacomatosis) is a rare but well-described autosomal dominant condition with variable penetrance. We present a female patient who has been successfully treated using local surgical excision and diligent skin surveillance for more than 4 decades, demonstrating that simple local incision is an efficacious and reasonable surgical alternative that may circumvent the specialization and expense of Mohs technique.

Donation After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation: Impact of Normothermic Machine Perfusion on Key Variables.
Anesth Analg
September 2024
From the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona.
Background: During orthotopic liver transplantation, allograft reperfusion is a dynamic point in the operation and often requires vasoactive medications and blood transfusions. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver allografts has emerged to increase the number of transplantable organs and may have utility during donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation in reducing transfusion burden and vasoactive medication requirements.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study involving 226 DCD liver transplant recipients who received an allograft transported with NMP (DCD-NMP group) or with static cold storage (DCD-SCS group).
A novel homozygous intronic variant in CDT1 that alters splicing causes Meier-Gorlin syndrome, and a review of published mutations and growth hormone treatments.

Background: Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGORS) is a rare autosomal inherited form of primordial dwarfism. Pathogenic variants in 13 genes involved in DNA replication initiation have been identified in this disease, but homozygous intronic variants have never been reported. Additionally, whether growth hormone (GH) treatment can increase the height of children with MGORS is unclear.

The association between genetic syndromes and odontogenic tumors encompasses several entities, reflecting the intricate interplay between genetic factors and the development of these lesions. The present study aimed to comprehensively investigate the associations between genetic syndromes and odontogenic tumors. We delineated the diverse spectrum of syndromic connections, including key syndromes such as Gardner syndrome, Gorlin syndrome, Schimmelpenning syndrome, and others.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate odontogenic keratocysts associated with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resornance imaging (MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and compare them with sporadic cases.
Materials And Methods: This study investigated 17 outpatients who underwent panoramic radiography, CT, and MRI between August 2012 and January 2021. Five of these patients had BCNS had 16 odontogenic keratocysts, for which the authors recorded detailed findings.
