Are “European” Scrotal Hernias Repairable With the Minimal Open Pre-Peritoneal Technique?
BackgroundMinimally invasive open preperitoneal techniques are an alternative in groin hernia repair. Scrotal hernias (SH) are frequently difficult to repair laparoscopically, resulting in a significant conversion rate.MethodsThe aim of this exploratory ...

Comparative evaluation of instrument segmentation and tracking methods in minimally invasive surgery [PDF]
Intraoperative segmentation and tracking of minimally invasive instruments is a prerequisite for computer- and robotic-assisted surgery. Since additional hardware like tracking systems or the robot encoders are cumbersome and lack accuracy, surgical ...

Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Effective therapeutic targeting of CTNNB1‐mutant hepatoblastoma with WNTinib
WNTinib, a Wnt/CTNNB1 inhibitor, was tested in hepatoblastoma (HB) experimental models. It delayed tumor growth and improved survival in CTNNB1‐mutant in vivo models. In organoids, WNTinib outperformed cisplatin and showed enhanced efficacy in combination therapy, supporting its potential as a targeted treatment for CTNNB1‐mutated HB.
