Neonatal Thermoregulation: A Golden Hour Protocol Update.
Adv Neonatal Care
August 2021
Duke University School of Nursing, Durham, North Carolina (Drs Dixon and Carter); Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital, Jacksonville, North Carolina (Dr Harriman); Walter Reed National Medical Military Center, Bethesda, Maryland (Dr Doles and Ms Sitton); and Duke University, Durham, North Carolina (Dr Thompson).
Background: Premature infants are poor regulators of body temperature and are subjected to environmental factors that can lead to rapid heat loss, leaving them vulnerable to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from hypothermia. Thermoregulation protocols have proven to increase survival in preterm infants.
Purpose: To evaluate a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle on a previously implemented Golden Hour protocol at a military medical care facility for infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestation and weighing less than1500 g.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer: A North American Clinical Trial.
J Urol
January 2018
Department of Urology, David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California-Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Electronic address:
Purpose: We determined the safety and efficacy of whole gland high intensity focused ultrasound in men with radiorecurrent prostate cancer.
Materials And Methods: A total of 100 men with clinically localized recurrent prostate cancer at least 2 years after external beam radiation therapy underwent whole gland high intensity focused ultrasound in an open label trial from 2009 to 2012. Treatments were performed at 16 sites, including 14 in the United States and 2 in Canada.

Radiographics
January 2015
From the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Md (A.B.S.); Department of Neuropathology, Joint Pathology Center, Silver Spring, Md (I.H.S.); Department of Radiology, Walter Reed National Medical Military Center, Bethesda, Md (J.W.S.); and Institute of Neuropathology, University Hospital of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland (E.J.R.).
Meningioma is the most common mass involving the dura, making it number one in the differential diagnosis for any dural-based mass; however, a variety of other neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions also involve the dura. Knowledge of the dural anatomy can provide clues to the various processes that may involve this location. The neoplastic processes include both benign and malignant lesions such as hemangiopericytoma, lymphoma, solitary fibrous tumor, melanocytic lesions, Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors, Rosai-Dorfman disease, and metastatic lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Granular cell basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an extremely rare type of skin cancer with only 14 documented cases; it is defined by large cells with distinctive granularity.
- A detailed case study of an 82-year-old man with suspected BCC revealed new immunophenotypic features, such as the expression of p16 and the absence of bcl-2, which haven't been previously noted in granular BCCs.
- Given its rarity and the potential for aggressive behavior, recognizing granular cell BCC's specific characteristics through immunohistochemistry is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
