Hearing Preservation After Segmental Semicircular Canal Destruction: A Report of Two Rare Cases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Semicircular canal fistulas are a complication of cholesteatomatous otitis media. In extremely rare cases, extensive destruction of the bony labyrinth may result in loss of approximately one‐third of the semicircular canal arc, often with wide exposure and partial injury to the membranous labyrinth, thereby increasing the risk of profound ...

Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF)-Based Therapy Induced Photoreceptor Survival by Stabilizing Choroidal Neovessels in a VEGF Overexpression CNV Rat Model. [PDF]
Stabilizing choroidal neovessels offers a novel treatment‐option for pathological CNV. Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF), a multifunctional protein with vessel‐stabilizing properties, is a promising candidate for this approach. Its efficacy with and without bevacizumab was tested in a VEGF overexpression CNV rat model.

Otosclerosis and the evolution of stapes surgery: A historical and otopathological study. [PDF]
This study reviews the historical evolution of surgical techniques for treating otosclerosis by examining temporal bone specimens and literature. Early methods like stapes mobilization and fenestration had limited success and notable complications, whereas the development of stapedectomy and stapedotomy significantly improved outcomes ...

AMPKα Silencing Prevents Kanamycin‐Induced Ototoxicity in an Acute Mouse Model
Kanamycin plus furosemide (KM + FU) treatment (acute ototoxic model) causes AMPKα activation and rapidly induces cochlear outer hair cell (OHC) loss. Silencing AMPKα1 via posterior semicircular canal injection 48 h before KM + FU treatment reduces this damage, preserving OHCs and hearing.

Blood–Brain Barrier: Structure, Function, Diseases, and Drug Delivery Systems
This graphical abstract illustrates how blood–brain barrier‐targeted nanomedicine integrates diverse nanocarrier platforms with mechanism‐based therapeutic strategies to overcome delivery barriers in ischemic stroke, enabling targeted modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, excitotoxicity, and neuronal survival.

Transfer cells in Horneophyton lignieri illuminate the origin of vascular tissues in land plants
Summary Recent fossil discoveries and advances in plant phylogeny have renewed debate about the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of land plants and the evolution of its fundamental organs and tissues. We re‐investigate the vascular system of Horneophyton lignieri, an exceptionally preserved Rhynie Chert fossil central to understanding early plant ...

Personalized Models of Biological Barriers and Their Diseases: Recent Progress with Organs‐On‐Chips
Buck and Bugter et al. explore the architectural diversity and physiological functions of human barrier systems and reveal how organ‐on‐chip platforms, particularly those integrating patient‐derived cells, are advancing barrier disease modeling. They highlight how emerging biological and technological advances can be used to bridge the gap between ...

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
