Exploring robotic advances, applications, and challenges in neuroendovascular surgery: A scoping review of the CorPath GRX system.

Background: The integration of robotics into neuroendovascular surgery has the potential to revolutionize the field by enhancing precision, reducing procedure-related risks, and improving patient outcomes. The CorPath GRX system represents a significant advancement in this domain. In this systematically conducted scoping review, we explore the current applications, advances, and challenges associated with robot-assisted neuroendovascular surgery.

Acceptability of an organ inventory for cancer screening across gender identity and intersex status.

Objectives: To evaluate the acceptability and performance of an organ inventory as an alternative to asking about gender and/or sex assigned at birth in cancer screening.

Methods: We fielded an online, self-administered survey to a convenience sample of English- or Spanish-speaking transgender and gender-diverse (TGD), intersex, and cisgender people (>/=15 years) in the US. The survey contained an organ inventory developed with community input and questions regarding acceptability.

Evaluating the precision and reliability of real-time continuous glucose monitoring systems in ambulatory settings: a systematic review.

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with minimally invasive devices plays a key role in the assessment of daily diabetes management by detecting and alerting to potentially dangerous trends in glucose levels, improving quality of life, and treatment adherence. However, there is still uncertainty as to whether CGMs are accurate enough to replace self-monitoring of blood glucose, especially in detecting episodes of hypoglycemia.

Objectives: Evaluate clinical, numerical accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the CGM devices commercially available when compared to the reference standard of arterial or venous blood glucose.

Enhanced Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Urea-Bridged Dimers of Axially Chiral BODIPY-Carbohydrate Hybrids.

Herein, we report the synthesis of novel dimeric urea-bridged BODIPY-carbohydrate conjugates, which display circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The dimers are composed of diastereomerically pure, axially chiral (P or M) BODIPY monomers containing a pendant glucose (d- or l-) unit. The latter was intended to add chirality, biocompatibility, and enhanced water solubility and facilitate the chromatographic resolution of the intermediate atropisomers.

Morphometry, cellular characterization and temporal evolution of granulomas induced by aluminium oxyhydroxide in sheep.

Persistent subcutaneous granulomas form at the injection site following administration of aluminium oxyhydroxide (AlOOH), a widely used vaccine adjuvant. Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) can infect macrophages within granulomas induced by commercial AlOOH-based vaccines in sheep. The entry of SRLVs into target cells involves the mannose receptor (MR), while catalytic polypeptide-like 3 protein containing Z1 domain (A3Z1) is considered a restriction factor for lentiviral replication.
