Achilles hero or heel? A systematic review of popliteal nerve block for achilles repair
Achilles tendon rupture is an exceptionally common injury, particularly among athletes. Popliteal nerve block is often performed for pain relief during surgical Achilles repair; however, the evidence basis demonstrating its analgesic effectiveness is ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Liquid biopsy‐based diagnostic evaluation of hypermethylated CpG sites for ovarian cancer diagnosis
This schematic outlines the workflow from biomarker identification to duplex MethyLight assay validation for epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosis using cfDNA‐based liquid biopsy. Initial screening of hypermethylated CpG candidates (cg02957270, cg10061138 cg00480298, COL2A1) was performed in tissue using ARMS‐PCR, COBRA, qPCR and image analysis. Selected

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Drugs previously repurposed to target blood cancers reduced neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth and viability. However, their levels of anticancer activity were different and their clinical application may be problematic due to side effects at effective doses.

Asymmetric tripolar nerve cuff electrode designs for optimizing anodal block of myelinated fibers
Purpose Anodal block is a common mechanism used to generate unidirectional activation of myelinated nerve fibers. However, nerve block is often inconsistent and difficult to achieve.

Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Femoral Nerve Block for Ease of Positioning During Spinal Anaesthesia in Hip Fracture Surgeries: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Background: Hip fractures often require spinal anaesthesia for surgery, but positioning for spinal anaesthesia is painful, necessitating preoperative regional nerve blocks. This study compares ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and femoral

KIF26B plays an important role in kidney development. We engineered mice lacking the C‐terminal region of KIF26B and found severe kidney defects, including bilateral renal agenesis, similar to full Kif26b knockout mice. The mutation disrupted nephron progenitor condensation and reduced Gdnf‐Wnt11 signaling, showing that the KIF26B C‐terminal region is ...

The use of local anesthesia and nerve blocks for scrotal and penile surgery: Local anaesthesia for scrotal and penile surgery [PDF]
Local anaesthetics are widely used for penile and genital surgery, with techniques tailored to the specific nerve supply and dermatomal distribution of the genitalia.

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...
