Laparoscopic Versus Open Surgery for Diverticular Disease: A Structured Review Across Clinical Settings and Operative Strategies

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used to treat colonic diverticulitis; however, its role in emergency, perforated, high‐risk, and procedure‐specific settings remains uncertain. This structured narrative review evaluated and synthesized comparative evidence by clinical setting, operative strategy, and patient risk profile to provide a ...

Neurotransmitter‐Defined Degeneration Patterns in Sporadic and C9orf72‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Predilection to GABAergic, Serotonergic, Opioid, Glutamatergic, Endocannabinoid, and Microglial Systems—Implications for Therapy Development

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a markedly distinctive clinical and neuroradiological signature, with the preferential involvement of specific brain networks and the apparent sparing of others. The molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomical vulnerability have not been fully elucidated to date despite the potential ...

Innovative PLA or PCL‐Based Ocular Implants Obtained From Tape Casting or Electrospinning for Sustained‐Release Dexamethasone

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
PLA and PCL ocular implants prepared by tape casting and electrospinning provide sustained dexamethasone release with distinct release profiles governed by polymer type and processing method. The relationship between polymer structure, degradation behavior, and drug release demonstrates the potential of these fabrication techniques for controlled ...

Framing anatomical variation in anatomy textbooks: Language use and its implications

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Text mining of anatomy textbooks shows “abnormal” is the most frequently used descriptor for anatomical variation, reinforcing a binary framing. We advocate for explicit teaching of variation as a spectrum, with consistent, neutral terminology and contextualization (prevalence and functional relevance) to support a more nuanced understanding of ...

Metabolomic investigation of cisplatin‐induced acute kidney injury in paediatric cancer patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Cisplatin causes acute kidney injury (AKI) in approximately 46% of paediatric cancer patients who receive it. Serum creatinine (SCr) is a poor biomarker of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, because there is a delay between cisplatin infusion and SCr elevation.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...
