Clinical signs were recorded as improved in each dog. The median follow-up time was 16.5 days (range, 9-264). Hiatal hernia repair was performed laparoscopically in this population. Repair included a combination of esophageal plication, esophagopexy, and left-sided gastropexy. Reverse Trendelenburg animal positioning and orogastric tube placement facilitated the reduction of the hernia. Laparoscopy is an option for the treatment of sliding hiatal hernia in dogs.

We examine the ethical implications of patients' rights being affected in medical education in a South African context. The South African legal framework advocates public healthcare access. Yet, the State's ethical obligations when it comes to guaranteeing public healthcare access, conflict with its utilitarian policy, that allows for medical education to help achieve the State's public healthcare commitments, at the cost of eroding patients' rights, and accepts that certain actions are imperative, in line with Ubuntu, which is tenable yet nuanced. A patient treated by a licenced doctor today, benefits because other patients have allowed themselves to be used as hands-on learning material for medical students yesterday. Healthcare institutions need to take cognisance of the numbers of medical students that patients can reasonably be expected to endure. There is a need for the Health Professions Council of South Africa and medical schools to adopt guidelines on reasonable levels of medical student-patient interaction, and medical student-to-patient ratios in healthcare delivery.DNA copy number variants (CNVs) are routinely evaluated as part of clinical diagnosis in both the prenatal and postnatal genetic settings. Current guidelines for interpreting the potential clinical significance of these CNVs, typically identified by chromosomal microarray, focus entirely on genes localized within the CNV region. However, recent work has suggested that some CNVs can actually produce clinical impacts by influencing transcription of genes outside the CNV region. These alterations of transcription appear to occur by disrupting the composition of DNA topologically associated domains (TADs), which strongly influence contacts between gene promoters and their associated enhancers. Here we present a set of detailed protocols for the use of the free software tool ClinTAD (https//). This decision-support software allows for prediction as to whether a given CNV may potentially disrupt a TAD boundary, and offers phenotype matching to genes near, but not within the CNV region, whose expression could be influenced by altered TAD architecture and that have phenotypic impacts related to that reported in a given patient. Our protocols here provide specific examples of how to implement these tools. In addition, the software has the capability to impact genomic research by evaluating multiple cases in parallel. We propose that this decision-support tool can benefit and improve genetic diagnosis. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects up to 20% of the pediatric population, with a growing prevalence over the past 30years. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) are commonly used as a first-line topical therapy for AD and are prescribed in 59% of all AD visits. However, some topical corticosteroids are prescribed outside of their age range indications. This paper aims to explore the frequency with which topical corticosteroids are prescribed for AD outside of their FDA-approved age range. Data on prescribing patterns for AD were o
