Identifying Chromosome Movement Patterns During Meiosis Using ChroMo.

During meiosis, transient associations between the nuclear envelope and telomeres transmit nuclear movements to chromosomes, enabling their pairing and recombination. Recent advances in the field of quantitative cell biology allow a large volume of information about the kinetics of these chromosome movements to be extracted and analyzed with the aim of identifying biologically relevant movement patterns. To this end, we have developed ChroMo, a freely available application for the unsupervised study of chromosome movements in fission yeast meiosis.

[Experience with third, fourth and fifth kidney transplants and their complications.].

Objectives: Kidney transplant may be a good choice to treat chronic renal failure even in patients with two or more previous renal grafts. However, there might be several surgical complications and other difficulties we have to deal with. The aim of this report is to analyze the third, fourth and fifth transplants performed in our center focusing on the surgical complications and graft and patient survivals.

The Patient's Comorbidity Burden Correlates with the Erectile Dysfunction Severity.

Objective: To explore the potential relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED), low testosterone levels, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional study on patients referred to the andrology unit in 7 Spanish centers. The ED was diagnosed and graded using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score.

A randomized crossover clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate in the treatment of dyspnea on exertion in patients with advanced cancer.

Background: Morphine is the only opioid which has been clearly demonstrated as effective in the treatment of dyspnea. The role of other opioids has not been sufficiently substantiated.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) in the treatment of dyspnea on exertion in patients with advanced cancer.
