Objectives: To study the feasibility of outpatient management of fractures of the penis and to identify factors that promote their occurrence.

Materials And Method: This were a prospective, monocentric study of patients who received emergency treatment for fractured penises. It took place from January 2016 to January 2019. The data analyzed were circumstances of occurrence, time elapsed before management, clinic, type of anesthesia, functional outcomes (assessment based on IIEF5 questionnaire) and complications.

Results: Seven cases were recorded. The average age of the patients was 35 years. The diagnosis was clinical and surgical treatment in all our patients. Management was outpatient in 6 patients. Sexual function was normal in six patients with an IIEF-5≥21 with a normal erection and no pain at intromission. No complications were objectified.

Conclusion: Emergency surgical management of patients with clinical and confirmed per-operative penis fractures may be outpatient without negative impact on functional outcomes and regardless of the cause of fracture.

Level Of Evidence: 3.

Breast cancers of the IntClust-2 type, characterized by amplification of a small portion of chromosome 11, have a median survival of only five years. Several cancer-relevant genes occupy this portion of chromosome 11, and it is thought that overexpression of a combination of driver genes in this region is responsible for the poor outcome of women in this group. In this study we used a gene editing method to knock out, one by one, each of 198 genes that are located within the amplified region of chromosome 11 and determined how much each of these genes contributed to the survival of breast cancer cells.

Use of Albumin-Adjusted Calcium Measurements in Clinical Practice.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Importance: Using albumin-adjusted calcium is commonly recommended for for measuring calcium, but with little empirical evidence to support the practice.

Objective: To assess the correlation between total calcium measurements (with or without adjustment) vs the ionized calcium level as a reference standard.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a population-based cross-sectional study in the province of Alberta, Canada, including adults tested for serum total calcium and ionized calcium simultaneously between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2019.

Importance: Disease characteristics of genetically mediated coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography and the association of genomic risk with outcomes after coronary angiography are not well understood.

Objective: To assess the angiographic characteristics and risk of post-coronary angiography outcomes of patients with genomic drivers of CAD: familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), high polygenic risk score (PRS), and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective cohort study of 3518 Mass General Brigham Biobank participants with genomic information who underwent coronary angiography was conducted between July 18, 2000, and August 1, 2023.
