Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic skeletal disorder caused by somatic activating variants of GNAS encoding for Gαs and leading to excessive cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling in bone-marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The effect activation the BMSC transcriptome how it influences FD lesion microenvironment are unclear. We analyzed changes induced secretome. RNAseq analysis differential gene expression cultured BMSCs from patients with healthy volunteers, an inducible mouse model FD, was...
Of 7461 actively practicing United States American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeons, only 17% are women. In relation to this small number, gender inequities within the field have been source national discussions. Our study assessed status gender-based wage-gap in surgery and sought identify possible causes.An anonymous 43-question survey was distributed 2981 members Society Surgeons 2021. Male female responses were compared; an analysis also considering board-certification...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic skeletal disorder involving the development of benign, expansile fibro-osseous lesions during childhood that cause deformity, fractures, pain, and disability. There are no well-established treatments for FD. Fibroblast activation protein (FAPα) serine protease expressed in pathological fibrotic tissues has promising clinical applications as biomarker local pro-drug activator several conditions. In this study, we explored expression
Abstract Background: Fibrous Dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic disorder that involves fibro-osseous lesions in bone. In the presence of coexisting extra-skeletal features, it termed McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS). Optic disc edema (ODE) potentially serious finding may progress to optic ischemia and nerve atrophy. We sought determine prevalence identify risk factors for development ODE NIH FD/MAS cohort. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted identified 7 patients with craniofacial diagnosis...
This article reports quantitative measurements of intracranial volume, optic canal area, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) for a cohort 124 patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS), previously used to determine risks developing disc edema [1]. Of these, 7 subjects were diagnosed edema. OSIRIX imaging analysis software was collect volume diameter 107 patients, via 3D multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) ≤5 mm axial CT slices. Spectral-domain...
