Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Statistician), Oklahoma City, OK, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at veterans with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to understand what factors affect their survival and health over time.
- Most veterans got ALS around age 62, and on average, they lived about 4 years after symptoms started. Many had limb-onset ALS, which means it started affecting their arms and legs first.
- It was found that those with a family history of ALS, or whose ALS started in their speech or breathing, tended to live shorter lives compared to others.
Multiple sclerosis relapse presenting as trigeminal neuralgia.

August 2024
Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, OK, USA.
I present here a case of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), which is a highly disabling disorder characterized by brief and recurrent shock-like episodes of facial pain. TGN occurs in 2% of people with MS. A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2008 and who was in remission stopped taking her disease-modifying therapy (DMT) in 2018 due to a lack of relapses presented to our facility with excruciating right facial pain.

Department of Neurosurgery, The Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, USA.
Introduction: Zoom reperfusion system (Imperative Care, CA) has proven to be promising for use in adult mechanical thrombectomies (MTs) but has not been described in pediatrics. We present two cases of a 14-year-old with acute right middle cerebral artery (MCA) syndrome and a 10-year old with acute left MCA syndrome who underwent MT using Zoom Reperfusion System safely with TICI 2B and TICI 3 recanalization, respectively.
Method: Case report and literature review.

Background: Although clinicians have traditionally used the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring Tool to assess the severity of neonatal opioid withdrawal, a newer function-based approach - the Eat, Sleep, Console care approach - is increasing in use. Whether the new approach can safely reduce the time until infants are medically ready for discharge when it is applied broadly across diverse sites is unknown.
Methods: In this cluster-randomized, controlled trial at 26 U.
The Impact of Adherence to Disease-Modifying Therapies on Functional Outcomes in Veterans with Multiple Sclerosis.

Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Statistician), Oklahoma, UK.
Background: Patients who adhere to their DMTs have lower rate of MS-related relapses and disability.
Objective: We sought to determine the adherence rate to disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) and its impact on functional outcome(s) in veterans with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Method: We reviewed the electronic records of 279 veterans with MS who were periodically followed in our MS clinic.

Department of Pathology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Background: Adnexal skin tumors are diagnostically challenging with few known molecular signatures. Recently, however, YAP1-MAML2 and YAP1-NUTM1 fusions were identified in poroid adnexal skin tumors.
Methods: Herein, we subjected eight poroid adnexal skin tumors (three poromas and five porocarcinomas) to fusion gene analysis by whole transcriptome sequencing and next-generation DNA sequencing analysis.

We report a case of giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCTST) in a 40-year-old woman who presented with a painful fibrous nodule on the thigh. The histological examination revealed multinucleated histiocytes admixed with eosinophils, lymphocytes, and scattered spindle-shaped cells. The clinical presentations, histological features, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and a literature review are presented.

Department of Dermatology at the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.
Background: Basosquamous carcinoma is considered an aggressive type of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with an increased risk of recurrence and metastases. This concept has been perpetuated in the literature in spite of confusing terminology, limited scientific data, and the contradictory surgical experiences of some observers.
Methods: This is a narrative review based on a MEDLINE search of articles in English and a manual search of popular dermatology textbooks to define basosquamous carcinoma, its incidence, clinical behavior, and treatment of choice.
Sagittal craniosynostosis outcome assessment for two methods and timings of intervention.

May 1999
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City 73003, USA.
A retrospective quantitative analysis of 40 infants who underwent surgery for sagittal craniosynostosis was conducted to determine whether any difference in outcome, with respect to cranial index (cranial width/cranial length x 100), could be associated with either the age at surgery or the extent of the operation. Children < or = 13 months old at surgery and for whom there were archived computed tomography digital data preoperatively, perioperatively, and 1 year postoperatively were studied. For statistical analysis, the operation was classified as either extended strip craniectomy or subtotal calvarectomy, and the age at operation was either < or = 4 months or > 4 months.
