Article Synopsis
- Odors are carried by complex plumes that provide valuable spatial information, allowing creatures to navigate and communicate effectively in their environment.
- The essay explores advancements in olfactory research in mammals, focusing on physical, behavioral, and methodological aspects to understand how smells help in environmental navigation.
- It also looks at the potential neural mechanisms that convert odors into cognitive maps and discusses how this research could inspire new technologies in sensors, robotics, and computational models.
It has been found that various heavy metals can initiate different types of regulated cell deaths. Among these metals, copper, an essential trace micronutrient that plays a major role in a lot of physiological processes, also can initiate cell death. It can act as a constituent of metalloenzymes, and can act as a mediator for signaling pathways to regulate proliferation and metastasis of tumor.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, visual acuity (VA), visual field (VF), and total visual (TV) function were objectively scored in patients selected from an institutional cohort of pituitary adenomas. The following imaging measures of optico-chiasmatic morphology were recorded preoperatively, and at 3 months after surgery: chiasm area, mid-chiasm height (CH), optic nerve-canal bending angle (BA), and optic nerve kinking angle (ONKA).
Aims: The aims of this study were: 1) to describe extended restricted kinematic alignment (E-rKA), a novel alignment strategy during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA); 2) to compare residual medial compartment tightness following virtual surgical planning during RA-TKA using mechanical alignment (MA) and E-rKA, in the same set of osteoarthritic varus knees; 3) to assess the requirement of soft-tissue releases during RA-TKA using E-rKA; and 4) to compare the accuracy of surgical plan execution between knees managed with adjustments in component positioning alone, and those which require additional soft-tissue releases.
Methods: Patients who underwent RA-TKA between January and December 2022 for primary varus osteoarthritis were included. Safe boundaries for E-rKA were defined.
