No penalty for blocking: Preoperative nerve blocks do not prevent motor nerve stimulation during TMR.

The timing of nerve blocks for amputation surgery with immediate targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) has been disputed. Traditional practices often defer nerve blocks until post-amputation, fearing interference with motor nerve target identification for TMR. Here, we present a case series demonstrating that pre-amputation regional nerve blocks do not prevent the identification of motor nerve targets.

There is limited data to guide recommendations on the age at which floor repair should be considered. This is a hypothesis-generating study to understand the correlation of age and other factors with inguinal hernia recurrence in children.

Article Synopsis
- Cortical condensates are transient structures that form in the actin cortex of oocytes and are rich in actin and N-WASP, forming through a phase separation process influenced by chemical kinetics.
- The study reveals that N-WASP can undergo surface condensation on lipid bilayers, which is a key factor in the formation of these condensates.
- The dynamics of condensate formation are regulated by a balance between their creation at the surface and the polymerization of actin, shedding light on the control of complex intracellular structures.
Objective: This study explores the effectiveness of health communication campaigns and campus-based interventions to promote vaccinations among college-aged students, focusing on human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization.
Participants: Leveraging previous initiatives, Purdue University implemented various campaign strategies and collaborated with the Indiana Immunization Coalition to administer vaccines ( = 1,827) across two clinics in late 2022.
Methods: Qualtrics surveys ( = 564) were administered to individuals post-vaccination(s).
The goals of gender-affirming phalloplasty typically include an aesthetic phallus and scrotum, standing micturition, and/or penetrative intercourse. Phalloplasty can be performed using both free and pedicled flaps. Complications include flap-related healing compromise and urethral issues, including stricture and fistula.
