Different Contribution of Missense and Loss‐of‐Function Variants to the Genetic Structure of Familial and Sporadic Meniere Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study examines the genetic basis of sporadic (SMD) and familial Meniere disease (FMD) by comparing rare protein‐coding variants using exome sequencing and gene burden analysis. FMD patients had a higher accumulation of missense and LoF variants, especially in genes linked to auditory and vestibular function.

Laparoscopic treatment of refluxing segmental megaureter

open access: yesInternational Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2005
We discuss the case of a 13-year old boy with urinary infection who was preoperatively diagnosed with left vesicoureteral reflux associated with paraurethral saccule. Laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir anti-reflux surgery was then proposed.

Firing properties of muscle spindle afferents in the intrinsic foot muscles and tactile afferents from the sole of the foot during upright stance

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1492-1510, October 1, 2025.
Abstract We review our approach for undertaking microelectrode recordings from the posterior tibial nerve at the ankle, which has allowed us to identify, for the first time, the firing properties of muscle spindle endings in the intrinsic muscles of the foot and of cutaneous mechanoreceptors in the sole during unsupported standing.

Ageing changes the proprioceptive contribution to balance control under different types of mastoid vibration: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1431-1446, October 1, 2025.
Abstract Ageing‐related sensory deteriorations are significantly associated with poor balance control among older individuals, resulting in a higher risk of falling in a dark environment. In particular, the proprioceptive system plays a critical role in maintaining balance.

Ultrasound and computed tomography of sacculitis and appendicitis in a rabbit [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Radiology & Ultrasound, 2018
AbstractA 9‐month‐old neutered male rabbit was referred for lethargy, anorexia, and gastrointestinal stasis. Routine hematology, serum biochemistry, and diagnostic imaging were performed. Computed tomography revealed a wall thickening of the sacculus rotundus and appendix, which was further confirmed on abdominal ultrasound.

Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 35, September 4, 2025.
Cephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.

Degeneration of saccular hair cells caused by MITF gene mutation

open access: yesNeural Development, 2019
Background Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is the consequence of an inherited autosomal dominant mutation which causes the early degeneration of intermediate cells of cochlear stria vascularis (SV) and profound hearing loss.

Diversity and spatial distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species associated with vegetable plants of Kano State, Nigeria

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 2, Issue 2-3, Page 59-72, September 2025.
A total of 15 AMF species, representing 12 genera, were identified from the soil samples collected across the experimental plots. The genera included Gigaspora, Septoglomus, Rhizophagus, Dentiscutata, Acaulospora, Racocetra, Archaeospora, Entrophospora, Diversispora, Claroideoglomus, Sclerocystis, and Glomus.
