Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Testicular Biopsies in Adolescent and Adult Andrological Patients: The EAA Clinical Guidelines

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Histological evaluation of testicular tissue is central to the assessment of infertile men, particularly those at an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Traditionally, testicular biopsies have been used primarily for diagnostic purposes, such as the detection of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). With advances in

Operative Efficiency and Short‐Term Outcomes of Robotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Prospective Single‐Surgeon Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robotic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R‐TAPP IHR) is a promising minimally invasive tool for inguinal hernias. This study aimed to evaluate short‐term postoperative outcomes following R‐TAPP IHR from a high‐volume robotic surgeon who has passed the initial robotic learning curve.
