Article Synopsis
- Homeobox genes are important for organ development and differentiation, and in humans, they are divided into four clusters (HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, HOXD).
- This study focused on the role of these genes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), finding that while mutations were rare, seven specific homeobox genes were significantly different in ESCC tissues compared to non-cancerous ones.
- The study revealed that these genes' dysregulation may affect cancer pathways and is linked to poor survival rates, suggesting their potential as prognostic biomarkers and targets for new therapies.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a new method of creating anatomical models, which can enhance the training of students and health professionals. The large breed-variation in dogs means that interpretation of thoracic radiographs can be challenging for the inexperienced radiologist. The aim of this study was to develop digital and printed 3D cardiac models from six canine breeds and evaluate their use as a tool for studying breed variations in radiology.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using either a single arterial graft (SAG) or multiple arterial grafts (MAGs).
- Conducted with 4,053 patients, the research focused on 238 individuals who had CABG within one week of AMI diagnosis, resulting in a comparison of 70 patients after matching based on clinical characteristics.
- Findings indicate that while surgery duration was longer for the MAG group, there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, readmissions, or complications between MAG and SAG groups within 30 days and up to five years post-surgery.
Euschistus heros (Fabricius, 1798) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a soybean pest in Brazil. It has a reproductive success that may be associated with the female receptaculum seminis or spermatheca, a reproductive organ for spermatozoa storage until the oocyte fertilization. This study describes the anatomy and histology of the female receptaculum seminis in E.
