AGO2-RIP-Seq reveals miR-34/miR-449 cluster targetome in sinonasal cancers
This study provides the first evidence that miR-34/miR-449 and their targets are deregulated in SNCs and could be proposed as valuable prognostic biomarkers. (Source: PLoS One)

Shaping the Anesthetic Approach to TricValve Implantation: Insights from a Case Series
Caval valve implantation (CAVI) represents a minimally invasive strategy for managing severe tricuspid regurgitation in high-risk patients unsuitable for surgical or transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation. This case series aims to assess the anesthesia management challenges and outcomes associated with this procedure, seeking to generate insights that can inform and refine anesthesia protocols.

Collection of epididymal semen in the tomcat (Felix catus) by stereomicroscope-aided retrograde flushing (SARF) improves sample quality
This study aimed at performing the retrograde flushing technique, for the first time, in the tomcat. In the first experiment attempts to insert a blunted needle into tomcats' ductus deferentes were made and the cannulation time and the success rate were recorded. In the second experiment, insertion of the needle into the ductus was carried out under a stereomicroscope for one testis, while the other was submitted to mincing for sperm recovery and the samples obtained from paired testes were compared. In the first study, only twenty-eight percent of the cannulation attempts were successful whereas in the second experiment, ...

Dosimetric comparison between intensity-modulated radiation therapy and volumetric-modulated arc therapy to enhance bladder and bowel
This study aimed to compare the two techniques for sparing the bladder and bowel. Computed tomography data from prostate cancer patients were analyzed to define the clinical target volume (CTV) and planning target volume (PTV). Treatment plans were generated with Monte Carlo algorithms, and dosimetric analysis was performed using the Monaco Treatment Planning System (TPS). We compared IMRT and VMAT for prostate cancer PTV coverage (% Ref. Volume), with VMAT showing slightly better coverage (98.885±1.704) compared to IMRT (98.594±0.923). VMAT also demonstrated improved PTV conformity. Additionally, VMAT was superior in sp...
