Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

Sex differences in atrial potential morphology

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background: Areas of conduction disorders play an important role in both initiation and perpetuation of AF and can be recognized by specific changes in unipolar potential morphology. For example, EGM fractionation may be caused by asynchronous activation

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Global Value Chain Participation and Inequality in Agro‐food Industries in the Global South

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, global value chains have been a central vehicle for development strategies in Global South countries, driving their integration into the global economy. Much critical scholarship has highlighted the adverse social and environmental costs, the asymmetries of power in inter‐firm relations, and the unfair distribution of benefits

QTc Prolongation and the Sympathoadrenal Response to Hypoglycaemia in Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To quantify changes in the heart rate‐corrected QT interval (QTc) and concurrent sympathoadrenal responses during induced and spontaneous hypoglycaemia in people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched from January 1990 to January 2026, restricted to English‐language publications.

The Flip Side of Gender Segregation: Cross‐National and Temporal Variation in Men's Participation in Female‐Dominated Occupations

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite women's growing presence in male‐dominated occupations, men remain underrepresented in female‐typed occupations. This imbalance is commonly attributed to three factors: (1) the confinement of female‐typed occupations to a narrow range of stereotypical domains, (2) their lower socioeconomic rewards, and (3) the stigma men face in gender‐

The Bachmann's bundle connection: from obesity and aging to atrial arrhythmia development.

Folia Morphologica
In recent years, Bachmann's bundle (BB), a band of cardiac muscle that enables electrical conduction from the heart's right atrium to the left atrium, has drawn significant interest from the scientific community. It has been identified as a branch of the

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Medial and lateral views of the human foot skeleton in the shod and unshod groups, with color maps representing mean relative trabecular bone volume fraction (rBV/TV) in the talus for each group. The shod group exhibited greater rBV/TV in the medial and posterior talus, whereas the unshod group had greater rBV/TV in the talar head and neck.

Circumscription of three new taxa of Merismopedia‐like Cyanobacteria shows how far convergent evolution can go

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Merismopedia (Merismopediaceae, Chroococcales), characterized by rectangular colonies with cells arranged in regular perpendicular rows and columns, represents a challenging study system due to its limited cultivability. The genus recently underwent taxonomic revision using cultivation‐independent techniques and a polyphasic approach.

Age in aortic disease: The path towards atrial fibrillation

Translational Medicine of Aging
Background: Aging induces structural remodeling, altering atrial electrogram morphology. Over time, structural and consequently electrical remodeling creates a substrate for atrial fibrillation.
