Want to inform researchers of the location of graves I found in a pasture near Hazelgreen after a long period of research and detective work. There are six graves. Four have toppled markers and two are without markers (broken off and/or missing). The graves are located roughly between a house and barn just off Rt. 66 west of Hazelgreen. Mailbox says 33566 ROUTE 66. GPS coordinates of Moser grave are N 37° 45.894' - W 092° 26.354'. Other graves are 10-15 ft south. All are hidden by very high grass next to some hay rolls.
1. John J. Moser (my gr-gr-grandfather). Tombstone says "JOHN J. MOSIER, BORN Apr. 15, 1816 DIED Feb. 18, 1894." This is incorrect. Surname was Moser. He was born April 14, 1816 and died February 15, 1894. Engraved stone appears newer than 1894.
2. "SARAH wife of J. J. PAINE BORN Sept. 13, 1827 DIED Mar. 21, 1876." Sarah's maiden name was Bronaugh and after she died, J. J. Paine married Mary Elizabeth Hendricks Mayfield, the daughter of James Hendricks and Sarah Harrison and the widow of John E. Mayfield.
3. "CHARLES L. Husband of M. D. JOHNSON BORN Oct. 4, 1844 DIED Nov. 24, 1905. Co. M, 3rd Iowa Cav." A Charles L. Johnson married Sarah N. Paine (daughter of Sarah Bronaugh Paine) (don't know whether 1st or 2nd marriage).
4. "J. H. JOHNSON, CO. M, 3rd IOWA CAV."
The following is from the National Park Service Soldiers and Sailors Database:
Johnson, Charles L.
Regiment Name: 3rd Regiment, Iowa Cavalry
Side: Union:
Company: M
Soldier's Rank In: Private
Soldier's Rank Out: Corporal
Film Number: M541 roll 14
Johnson, James H.
Regiment Name: 3rd Regiment, Iowa Cavalry
Side: Union:
Company: M
Soldier's Rank In: Private
Soldier's Rank Out: Private
Film Number: M541 roll 14
There is a strong connection to the Mayfield family. This land was most likely owned by either John Moser or Robert W. Mayfield in the 1890's. John Moser acquired 120 acres of bottom land in this area in 1841/42 and married Lucy Elizabeth Mayfield, older sister of Robert W. Mayfield. She died in 1878. John Moser's daughter was married at home of Robert W. Mayfield. Robert W. Mayfield was administrator of John Moser's estate in 1894. John Moser and Robert W. Mayfield sold land to each other. John E. Mayfield was Robert W. Mayfield's brother.
It is possible that the two graves without markers are those of Lucy Elizabeth Mayfield and John J. Moser, Jr., who died in Dec 1890 (supposedly froze to death). Neither of their graves have been found. Less likely is that the graves are two young daughters of John J. Moser, Jr., having died in 1890 and 1891.
I have photos, aerial photos, and history files if anyone wants to pursue.

This year marks the thirteenth anniversary of the demoralizing and impeding 9/11 terrorist attack on America. On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and attacked America. This devastating attack took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people. Today, we honor all the numerous victims, survivors, those who rose up and volunteered their service in response to the attacks, and all of the members of our mighty military who died protecting our country against terrorism.
Please take a moment of your time to commemorate our fallen heroes and loved ones.
Our American flag is displayed at half-staff in honor of the individuals who lost their lives to this tragic event. This day thirteen years ago, our America was hurt and the great towers were reduced to ashes but our love and greatly profound respect and honor for all the victims, survivors, volunteers and men & women who served and died protecting our country will never be forgotten. They will forever be in our hearts and we will never forget their tremendous sacrifice.

The final round of the PGA Championship kicked off on Sunday morning, with some notable players among those scheduled for the undesirable early tee times.
Phil Mickelson is in the day's second pairing at 8.35 a.m. (12:35 GMT), an unenviable spot that he earned by shooting six over par on Saturday, putting him at 10 over par for the tournament and in second-to-last place.
Two pairings later, another pre-tournament favourite, Hunter Mahan, will tee off at 8.55 a.m..
Tiger Woods has fared slightly better than Mickelson, but his four-over for the tournament puts him out of contention. He tees off at 10.45 a.m..
The leaderboard is crowded at the top, with Jim Furyk leading at nine under par, followed by Jason Dufner at eight under, Henrik Stenson at seven under, Jonas Blixt at six under, and Steve Stricker and Adam Scott tied at six under.
The marquee pairing of Furyk and Dufner will be the last to tee off at 2.55 p.m..
Keywords: PGA Championship, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Jason Dufner

You somehow still make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. You love me in ways I used to think we're NEVER possible. And you've changed my life, given me experiences no one should have, and everyone wishes they had.
Till death do us part.

Mac|Life, Telltale will begin supporting the Mac platform starting on Febrary 8 with Tales of Monkey Island -- and, as what can only be described as a great idea, gamers will be able to download both the Mac and PC versions of Telltale's games for one price. In other words, you won't have to worry about which version you buy, because you'll be getting both. Tales of Monkey Island is to be the first title to receive Mac support, with Sam & Max, Wallace & Gromit and Strong Bad to follow (supposedly in that order, by the way). Both seasons of Sam & Max should arrive within "several weeks" of Tales of Monkey Island, with the others arriving in the following months, the site writes.
The report also mentions that Telltale plans to convert its entire catalog -- with the exception of Bone and Texas Hold 'Em -- according to Mac|Life. Its Telltale source declined to confirm if ports are on their way to the iPhone or iPad as well, though he did reiterate Telltale's desire to expand to as many platforms as possible.
When reached for comment by Joystiq, a Telltale representative called the report "totally unconfirmed," adding that potential iPhone or iPad support is "total speculation" at this point. According to the Mac|Life report, Telltale will be showing off its Mac titles at the Macworld Expo on February 11, so you can bet we'll be stopping by to find out.

|Bladder Cancer
|Home > Cancer Types > Urinary > Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a disease in which malignant cells arise in the bladder. Symptoms can include blood in the urine, pain during urination, increased frequency of passing urine, or feeling the need to urinate but with nothing coming out. The bulk of bladder cancers are histlogically classed as transitional cell carcinomas which arise in the uroepithelium (lining of the bladder). Other types include squamous cell carcinomas, and adenocarcinomas. Treatment will depend on how far the tumour has invaded the surrounding tissues, and if it has spread to other parts of the body. World-wide about 260,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year.

Immunohistochemical evaluation of CXCL12-CXCR4 axis and VEGFR3 expression in primary urothelial cancer and its recurrence.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(7):3537-42 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was applied to 67 primary tumor (PC) sections and their recurrenct tumors (RC).
RESULTS: The expression of CXCL12 both in PC and in RC was positively associated with tumor grade (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively) and pT stage (p=0.001 and p=0.007, respectively). The expression of CXCR4 in both PC and RC was also positively related to grade (p=0.001 and p<0.0001, respectively) and pT stage (p=0.008 and p=0.005, respectively). We compared the expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in PC related to RC and found that both were more intense in RC than in PC (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). In PC and in RC there was no association between the expression of VEGFR3 with tumor grade and pT stage.
CONCLUSION: CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression was related to adverse prognostic markers in urothelial bladder carcinoma through their association with grade and pT stage both in PC and RC. The CXCL12-CXCR4 axis may influence the expression of VEGFR3 in urothelial bladder carcinoma and promote tumor recurrence.
The preclinical activity of lenalidomide in indolent urothelial carcinoma.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(7):3383-9 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The in vitro and in vivo activity of lenalidomide was evaluated in human and murine UC cell lines. Tumors were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for (CD31), cleaved caspase-3 (CC3) and CD3+/CD20+ lymphocyte infiltration. Cereblon, a molecular target of lenalidomide was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: Significant pro-apoptotic activity, and reduction of cell viability was seen at low micromolar concentrations of lenalidomide against indolent human RT4 UC cells in vitro. Cereblon expression was quantitatively lower in sensitive RT4 cells compared to resistant 5637 cells. In RT4 xenografts, lenalidomide significantly reduced tumor size and CD31 expression, and increased expression of CC3 (p<0.05). Cereblon expression increased in lenalidomide-treated RT4 xenografts (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Lenalidomide demonstrated preclinical activity against superficially-invasive low-grade UC cells attributable to direct tumor cell apoptosis and anti-angiogenic activity. Clinical trials are warranted in patients with indolent UC.

microRNA-99a acts as a tumor suppressor and is down-regulated in bladder cancer.
BMC Urol. 2014; 14:50 [PubMed] Free Access to Full Article Related Publications
METHODS: We used Taqman probe stem-loop real-time PCR to accurately measure the levels of miR-99a in bladder cancer cell lines, 100 pairs of bladder cancer tissues, the adjacent non-neoplastic tissues and plasma collected from bladder cancer patients or control patients. miR-99a mimics were re-introduced into bladder cancer cells to investigate its role on regulating cell proliferation which was measured by CCK-8 assay and cell cycle analysis.
RESULTS: miR-99a was significantly down-regulated in bladder cancer tissues, and even the lower expression of miR-99a was correlative with the more aggressive phenotypes of bladder cancer. Meanwhile, enforced expression of miR-99a can inhibit the cell proliferation of bladder cancer cells. Furthermore, investigation of the expression of miR-99a in plasma of bladder cancer patients showed that miR-99a was also decreased in plasma of bladder cancer patients. The results strongly supported miR-99a as the potential diagnostic marker of bladder cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicated that miR-99a might act as a tumor suppressor in bladder cancer and was significantly down-regulated in development of bladder cancer.
Semiquantitative GATA-3 immunoreactivity in breast, bladder, gynecologic tract, and other cytokeratin 7-positive carcinomas.
Am J Clin Pathol. 2014; 142(1):64-71 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: GATA-3 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 198 invasive breast carcinomas on tissue microarrays. Tissue microarrays of other tissues included 144 gynecologic tumors, 28 bladder carcinomas, 63 cholangiocarcinomas, 20 pancreatic carcinomas, and 62 gastric carcinomas. Full tissue sections of 10 invasive squamous cell carcinomas were also stained. GATA-3 expression was semiquantitatively scored using an H-score method. H-score greater than 10 was considered a positive result.
RESULTS: Of 186 breast carcinomas, 95% were positive (mean H-score of 217). GATA-3 expression was uncommon in 139 nonsquamous gynecologic tumors, with often weak reactivity (mean H-score <50) seen in 18% of endocervical, 7% of endometrial, and 10% of ovarian tumors. Six (60%) of 10 squamous cell carcinomas expressed GATA-3 (mean H-score of 102). Of 22 urothelial carcinomas, 95% expressed GATA-3 (mean H-score of 170). A few cholangiocarcinomas (3%), pancreatic adenocarcinomas (10%), and gastric carcinomas (2%) weakly expressed GATA-3 (mean H-score <50).
CONCLUSIONS: Strong GATA-3 expression is a reliable marker of primary breast carcinoma in the appropriate clinical context. GATA-3 reactivity in around 70% of triple-negative breast carcinomas is also clinically useful. Significant reactivity in gynecologic squamous cell carcinomas suggests that GATA-3 alone cannot reliably distinguish these tumors from urothelial carcinoma.

Impact of preoperative thrombocytosis on pathological outcomes and survival in patients treated with radical cystectomy for bladder carcinoma.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(6):3225-30 [PubMed] Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 906 consecutive patients treated with Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer between 1995 and 2012 at a tertiary referral Center were included in the study. Thrombocytosis was defined as >400,000 platelets/μl, in agreement with the standard assumed by the central laboratory of our Institution. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the impact of preoperative platelet count on pathological stage. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were also adopted to predict both cancer-specific and overall survival.
RESULTS: The mean age at cystectomy was 67.25 years. The mean and median platelet counts were 242,100/μl and 227,500/μl. At a mean follow-up time of 41 months, the 2- and 5-year cancer-specific and overall survival were found to be 83.1% and 75.2% and 68.3 and 59.8%, respectively. At Univariable analysis, thrombocytosis count was significantly associated with adverse pathological disease stage (p ≤ 0.007) and lymph node invasion (p=0.05). Platelet count was significantly associated to patient survival at univariable analysis (Hazard Ratio=1.76 and 1.39 for overall survival and cancer specific survival, respectively; all p<0.05). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, platelet count was documented to be significantly related only to overall survival (Hazard Ratio=64,1.03-2.81; p=0.05).
CONCLUSION: Preoperative platelet count should be taken into account as a factor predictive of postoperative oncological outcomes after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer and patients should be counseled accordingly.

Long-term follow-up of intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer sub-classified by multi-coloured FISH.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(6):3067-71 [PubMed] Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: On 81 patients with intermediate-risk urothelial carcinoma, a multicolour-FISH was performed. Patients were sub-divided into low- and high-risk groups based on chromosomal patterns. Univariate analysis, using Mantel-Cox log-rank test for disease-free, progression-free survival and overall survival, was employed to determine the prognostic significance of FISH analysis. Survival times were calculated according to the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazards regression model.
RESULTS: The univariate Mantel-Cox log-rank test showed significant differences between the low-risk and the high-risk group for disease-free survival (p=0.005) and overall survival (p=0.038), but not for progression-free survival (p=0.129).
CONCLUSION: Our long-term follow-up data appear to be able to divide tumors into low and high risk groups for recurrence based on molecular/genetic changes observed with FISH.

FIP-gts potentiate autophagic cell death against cisplatin-resistant urothelial cancer cells.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(6):2973-83 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two UC cell lines were used to investigate the cytotoxicity effects and the autophagy regulation of FIP-gts using flow cytometry, acidic vesicular organelles (AVO) staining and western blotting.
RESULTS: MTT assay showed that FIP-gts and bafilomycin-A1 (Baf-A1) and or chloroquine (CQ) could enhance a significantly synergistic cytotoxicity. The treatment of UC cell lines with FIP-gts activated LC-3 II formation and AVO positive staining on western blot and flow cytometry. Interestingly, FIP-gts and Baf-A1 combined treatment was found to lead to enhancement of apoptosis along with inhibition of autophagy in parental and resistant UC cells.
CONCLUSION: FIP-gts may have the potential to be utilized as a therapeutic adjuvant for the treatment of resistant UC cancer down-regulating Beclin-1 to activate autophagic cell death.

Pattern of somatostatin receptors expression in normal and bladder cancer tissue samples.
Anticancer Res. 2014; 34(6):2937-42 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expression of SSTR1-5 was characterized in 45 normal and bladder cancer tissue samples using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
RESULTS: SSTR1 was expressed in 24 samples, SSTR2 in 15, SSTR3 in 23, SSTR4 in 16 and SSTR5 in all but one sample. Bladder cancer tissue samples expressed lower levels of SSTR3. Co-expression of SSTRs was associated with superficial disease.
CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate, for the first time, that there is expression of SSTR in normal and bladder cancer urothelium. Further studies are required to evaluate the prognostic and therapeutic significance of these findings.

Osseous metaplasia within a urothelial bladder cancer nodal metastasis: a case report.
Anal Quant Cytopathol Histpathol. 2014; 36(2):117-9 [PubMed] Related Publications
CASE: A 78-year-old man underwent radical cystoprostatectomy because of high-grade pT2 UBC. Pathology revealed a high-grade pT4aN2 UBC with osseous metaplasia into a massively metastatic lymph node but not into the primary bladder tumor.
CONCLUSION: Based independently on its location, this finding warrants a careful differential diagnosis with sarcomatoid bladder tumors and is likely to be a marker of tumor aggressiveness, thus recommending aggressive treatment.
Urotensin II receptor determines prognosis of bladder cancer regulating cell motility/invasion.
J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2014; 33:48 [PubMed] Article available free on PMC after 01/07/2015 Related Publications
METHODS: We have investigated upon urotensin-II (UII) receptor (UTR) expression in vivo in 159 patients affected by NMIBC. The biological role of UTR was also investigated in vitro. UTR expression was evaluated in a tissue-micro-array, consisting of normal, NMIBC and invasive bTCC samples.
RESULTS: UTR discriminated between NMIBC and MIBC and showed a significant correlation between low UTR expression and shorter disease free survival in NMIBC. The superagonist UPG84 induced growth suppression at nM concentrations on 3/4 cell lines. Bladder cancer cell treatment with the antagonist urantide or the knock-down of UTR with a specific shRNA significantly blocked both the motility and invasion of bladder cancer cells.
CONCLUSIONS: The evaluation of UTR expression can discriminate between NMIBC at high and low risk of relapse. Moreover, our data suggest that UTR is involved in the regulation of motility, invasion and proliferation of bladder cancer cells. High UTR expression is an independent prognostic factor of good prognosis for NMIBC regulating motility and invasion of bladder cancer cells.

Reduced expression of ezrin in urothelial bladder cancer signifies more advanced tumours and an impaired survival: validatory study of two independent patient cohorts.
BMC Urol. 2014; 14:36 [PubMed] Article available free on PMC after 01/07/2015 Related Publications
METHODS: Immunohistochemical expression of ezrin was evaluated in tissue microarrays with tumours from one retrospective cohort of bladder cancer (n = 110; cohort I) and one population-based cohort (n = 342; cohort II). Classification regression tree analysis was applied for selection of prognostic cutoff. Kaplan-Meier analysis, log rank test and Cox regression proportional hazards' modeling were used to evaluate the impact of ezrin on 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
RESULTS: Ezrin expression could be evaluated in tumours from 100 and 342 cases, respectively. In both cohorts, reduced membranous ezrin expression was significantly associated with more advanced T-stage (p < 0.001), high grade tumours (p < 0.001), female sex (p = 0.040 and p = 0.013), and membranous expression of podocalyxin-like protein (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009). Moreover, reduced ezrin expression was associated with a significantly reduced 5-year OS in both cohorts (HR = 3.09 95% CI 1.71-5.58 and HR = 2.15(1.51-3.06), and with DSS in cohort II (HR = 2.77, 95% CI 1.78-4.31). This association also remained significant in adjusted analysis in Cohort I (HR1.99, 95% CI 1.05-3.77) but not in Cohort II. In pTa and pT1 tumours in cohort II, there was no significant association between ezrin expression and time to progression.
CONCLUSIONS: The results from this study validate previous findings of reduced membranous ezrin expression in urothelial bladder cancer being associated with unfavourable clinicopathological characteristics and an impaired survival. The utility of ezrin as a prognostic biomarker in transurethral resection specimens merits further investigation.

Prognostic significance of lactate/proton symporters MCT1, MCT4, and their chaperone CD147 expressions in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.
Urology. 2014; 84(1):245.e9-15 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: We examined the expressions of MCT1, MCT4, and CD147 proteins in a total of 360 cases of UCB by immunohistochemistry. The immunohistochemical expressions were quantified using an ImageJ-based analysis program.
RESULTS: MCT1, MCT4, and CD147 expressions were increased in 130 (36.1%), 168 (46.7%), and 228 (63.3%) UCB cases, respectively. Most tumor cells showed diffuse membranous staining, whereas normal urothelial cells showed negative or weak staining. High levels of MCT1 expression correlated with high World Health Organization grade (P<.001), advanced tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage (P<.001), nonpapillary growth type (P<.001), and lymphatic tumor invasion (P=.010), whereas high levels of MCT4 expression did not significantly correlate with any of these variables. High CD147 expression was associated with high World Health Organization grade (P<.001), advanced tumor node metastatis stage (P<.001), and nonpapillary growth type (P=.003). Univariate analyses revealed that high MCT1 (P<.001) and CD147 (P=.029) expressions were associated with poor overall survival and that high MCT4 expression was correlated with poor recurrence-free survival (P=.036). Multivariate analyses revealed that high MCT1 and MCT4 expressions were independent prognostic factors for poor overall survival and poor recurrence-free survival, respectively, in UCB patients.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that increased MCT1, MCT4, and CD147 expressions have prognostic implications in UCB and suggest their roles in urothelial cancer metabolism.

Value of normalized apparent diffusion coefficient for estimating histological grade of vesical urothelial carcinoma.
Clin Radiol. 2014; 69(7):727-31 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with histologically confirmed vesical urothelial carcinomas underwent preoperative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) of the pelvis. nADC of the tumour was calculated as ADC (tumour)/ADC (reference) using urine in the bladder lumen, and the obturator internus and gluteus maximus muscles as reference. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed and compared to identify an optimal reference for nADC calculation.
RESULTS: Both ADC and nADC of low-grade tumours (1.112 ± 0.159 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, 0.403 ± 0.047 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s) were significantly (p < 0.001) higher than those of high-grade tumours (0.772 ± 0.091 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, 0.276 ± 0.033 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s). The area under the nADC ROC curve using urine as reference was significantly (p = 0.000) larger (0.995) than those using obturator internus (0.960) and gluteus maximus (0.945).
CONCLUSIONS: nADC is superior to ADC for estimating the histological grade of bladder carcinoma using urine in the bladder lumen as an optimal reference for nADC calculation.
Neoadjuvant dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin with pegfilgrastim support in muscle-invasive urothelial cancer: pathologic, radiologic, and biomarker correlates.
J Clin Oncol. 2014; 32(18):1889-94 [PubMed] Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with cT2-cT4, N0-1, M0 MIUC were enrolled. Four cycles of ddMVAC were administered, followed by radical cystectomy. The primary end point was pathologic response (PaR) defined by pathologic downstaging to ≤ pT1N0M0. The study used Simon's optimal two-stage design to evaluate null and alternative hypotheses of PaR rate of 35% versus 55%. Secondary end points included toxicity, disease-free survival (DFS), radiologic response (RaR), and biomarker correlates, including ERCC1.
RESULTS: Between December 2008 and April 2012, 39 patients (cT2N0, 33%; cT3N0, 18%; cT4N0, 3%; cT2-4N1, 43%; unspecified, 3%) were enrolled. Median follow-up was 2 years. Overall, 49% (80% CI, 38 to 61) achieved PaR of ≤ pT1N0M0, and we concluded this regimen was effective. High-grade (grade ≥ 3) toxicities were observed in 10% of patients, with no neutropenic fevers or treatment-related death. One-year DFS was 89% versus 67% for patients who achieved PaR compared with those who did not (hazard ratio [HR], 2.6; 95% CI, 0.8 to 8.1; P = .08) and 86% versus 62% for patients who achieved RaR compared with those who did not (HR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.3 to 12.5; P = .009). We found no association between serum tumor markers or ERCC1 expression with response or survival.
CONCLUSION: In patients with MIUC, neoadjuvant ddMVAC was well tolerated and resulted in significant pathologic and radiologic downstaging.

J Clin Oncol. 2014; 32(18):1895-901 [PubMed] Article available free on PMC after 20/06/2015 Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with cT2-T4a and N0-N1 MIBC were eligible and received three cycles of AMVAC with pegfilgrastim followed by radical cystectomy with lymph node dissection. The primary end point was pT0 rate. Telomere length (TL) and p53 mutation status were correlated with response and toxicity.
RESULTS: Forty-four patients were accrued; 60% had stage III to IV disease; median age was 64 years. Forty patients were evaluable for response, with 15 (38%; 95% CI, 23% to 53%) showing pT0 at cystectomy, meeting the primary end point of the study. Another six patients (14%) were downstaged to non-muscle invasive disease. Most (82%) experienced only grade 1 to 2 treatment-related toxicities. There were no grade 3 or 4 renal toxicities and no treatment-related deaths. One patient developed metastases and thus did not undergo cystectomy; all others (n = 43) proceeded to cystectomy within 8 weeks after last chemotherapy administration. Median time from start of chemotherapy to cystectomy was 9.7 weeks. TL and p53 mutation did not predict response or toxicity.
CONCLUSION: AMVAC is well tolerated and results in similar pT0 rates with 6 weeks of treatment compared with standard 12-week regimens. Further analysis is ongoing to ascertain whether molecular alterations in tumor samples can predict response to chemotherapy.

Incidence and risk factors of 30-day early and 90-day late morbidity and mortality of radical cystectomy during a 13-year follow-up: a comparative propensity-score matched analysis of complications between neobladder and ileal conduit.
Jpn J Clin Oncol. 2014; 44(7):677-85 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: We retrospectively collected data on 308 non-metastatic bladder cancer patients who underwent radical cystectomy with either ileal conduit or neobladder for a curative intent from January 1999 to December 2011. Post-operative morbidity and mortality of 30-day (early) and 90-day (late) complication with their risk factors were examined in association with different types of urinary diversion. A comparative analysis using propensity-score matching was performed with matching variables of age, sex, number of underlying diseases and pathologic T and N stages, lymph node dissection, operative time and time of surgical year for comparison of the early and late morbidities between ileal conduit and neobladder.
RESULTS: During the median follow-up of 46.6 months, early and late morbidities were 29.5% (n=91) and 19.8% (n=61), and complication-related mortalities were 2.2 and 6.6%, respectively. The type of urinary diversion significantly affected only the late complications (early: neobladder 57 vs. ileal conduit 47, P=0.096; late: neobladder 67 vs. ileal conduit 37, P<0.001). However, after propensity-score matching, no significant differences in early and late morbidities were observed between neobladder and ileal conduit. For risk factors of morbidity, number of removed lymph node states and hypertension were independently significant for both early and late complications (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The type of urinary diversion affected only late complication, however, results of the matching analysis showed no significant differences in early and late morbidities between neobladder and ileal conduit.
Solifenacin is able to improve the irritative symptoms after transurethral resection of bladder tumors.
Urology. 2014; 84(1):117-21 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: A total of 116 patients undergoing TURBT were randomly allocated into 2 groups, 58 patients in each group. Group 1 patients received solifenacin 5 mg, 6 hours before surgery and 5 mg per day, after surgery for 2 weeks, whereas group 2 patients received a placebo. Patients with low-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer received immediate postoperative instillation of epirubicin. Patients with medium- or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer received postoperative instillation twice within 2 weeks, once immediately following the operation and once on the eighth postoperative day. All patients completed bladder diaries before surgery, on the 1st, 7th, and 14th days after removal of the catheter with overactive bladder symptom scores completed preoperatively, and on the 7th and 14th days. Additionally, the incidence and severity of catheter-related bladder discomfort were recorded at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the surgery.
RESULTS: The incidence and the severity of catheter-related bladder discomfort in group 1, compared with group 2, were significantly reduced (P<.05). There was a significant difference in overactive bladder symptom scores between the 2 groups (5.67 vs 7.86; P<.001). Episodes of daytime, frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urge urinary incontinence in group 1 were also significantly lower than in group 2 (P<.05).
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that solifenacin can be beneficial for the management of irritative symptoms after TURBT with subsequent intravesical chemotherapy.

Wednesday night, Team USA took on the Dominican Republic in an exhibition game.
USA dominated with a win, beating the Dominicans 105-62 without the help of star point guard Derrick Rose who sat out with body fatigue.
Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond stole the show at the end of the game.
With just a little over three minutes remaining in the game, and the US leading 98-60, Raptors guard Demar DeRozan threw up a lob to Drummond.
In what looked to be out of Drummond's reach, Andre grabbed the ball with his right hand and slammed the ball down.
It was a very impressive alley-oop as you can see below. Drummond finished the game with 12 points and 5 rebounds.
