The learning curve for hood-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: A single-surgeon experience.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of anterior hood-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with posterior-anterior reconstruction in a single-surgeon series by analysing oncological and functional continence outcomes.

Patients And Methods: We carried out a cohort comparison study of a prospectively collected single-surgeon series. The surgeon was an 'in-training' fellowship trained surgeon in their first 2 years of independent practice.

mRNA vaccines: a new era in vaccine development.

The advent of RNA therapy, particularly through the development of mRNA cancer vaccines, has ushered in a new era in the field of oncology. This article provides a concise overview of the key principles, recent advancements, and potential implications of mRNA cancer vaccines as a groundbreaking modality in cancer treatment. mRNA cancer vaccines represent a revolutionary approach to combatting cancer by leveraging the body's innate immune system.

isolateR: an R package for generating microbial libraries from Sanger sequencing data.

Motivation: Sanger sequencing of taxonomic marker genes (e.g. 16S/18S/ITS/rpoB/cpn60) represents the leading method for identifying a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, and fungi.

Lead Decreases Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7) Expression and Increases Renal Cell Carcinoma Growth in a Sex-Divergent Manner.

Both tissue and blood lead levels are elevated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. These studies assessed the impact of the subchronic lead challenge on the progression of RCC in vitro and in vivo. Lead challenge of Renca cells with 0.
