Circular duplex reverse transcripts of the genome of a strain of Abelson murine leukemia virus that encodes a 160,000-molecular-weight protein were isolated, cleaved with HindIII restriction endonuclease, and cloned into the unique HindIII site of lambda phage Charon 21A. Recombinant phage clones, some of which were infectious in transfection assays, were found to contain a 789-base-pair region specific for Abelson murine leukemia virus; this region is not found in other strains of this virus. The extra sequence was localized by restriction endonuclease and electron microscopic heteroduplex analysis. Sequence analysis showed no homology at the ends of the extra sequence, implying that it was deleted by an event that did not utilize sequence homology. The sequence of this unique region has an open reading frame through its entirety.

Background: Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) regulates the survival, proliferation, and stemness of cells, and contributes to the development of metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, the regulatory role of intestinal YAP1 in MAFLD still remains unclear.

Methods: Terminal ileal specimens were used to compare intestinal YAP1 activation in patients with and without MAFLD.

Objectives: Transportation of medical samples between laboratories or hospital sites is typically performed by motorized ground transport. Due to the increased traffic congestions in urban environments, drone transportation has become an attractive alternative for fast shipping of samples. In accordance with the CLSI guidelines and the ISO 15189 standard, the impact of this transportation type on sample integrity and performance of laboratory tests must be thoroughly validated.

Hematology and Oncology, Willis-Knighton Health System, Shreveport, USA.

We highlight here a case of Moyamoya disease (MMD) developed after treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Moyamoya, a term meaning "a hazy puff of smoke" in Japanese, denotes a chronic occlusive cerebrovascular condition involving bilateral stenosis or closure of the terminal part of the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) and the proximal sections of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) and middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) resulting in the development of abnormal vascular collaterals. A 40-year-old African-American female with a past medical history of CML presented to the oncology clinic with expressive aphasia.
