Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the genital anatomy of seven male sugar gliders and one castrated individual, focusing on the scrotum, testes, and associated structures.
- - Key findings include descriptions of the penis, which is bifid and externalizes through the cloaca, and the absence of the deferent duct's ampulla, as well as details about the prostate and bulbourethral glands.
- - The research highlights the unique positioning and structural features of the reproductive organs, contributing valuable insights into the biology of sugar gliders.
Structural Similarities, in Relation with the Cross-Reactivity, of Hymenoptera Allergenic Dipeptidyl Peptidases IV-An Overall Comparison Including a New Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Sequence from .
Toxins (Basel)
November 2023
(1) Background: Dipeptidyl Peptidases IV (DPPIVs), present in many organisms, are minor components in the venoms of Hymenoptera, where they have been identified as cross-reactive allergenic molecules. Considering that the structure of homologous DPPIVs is well characterized, we aimed to explain which regions have higher similarity among these proteins and present a comparison among them, including a new DPPIV sequence. Moreover, two cases of sensitization to DPPIVs in wasp- and honeybee-sensitized patients are presented.

- Insect and disease outbreaks in forests are increasingly problematic due to climate change, which disrupts ecosystem services like carbon storage and biodiversity conservation.
- The Database of European Forest Insect and Disease Disturbances (DEFID2) compiles over 650,000 records of such disturbances from 1963 to 2021 across eight European countries, utilizing methods like ground surveys and remote sensing.
- DEFID2 provides detailed qualitative and quantitative data on forest disturbances, enabling researchers to study ecological processes and assess the impacts of these biotic disturbances more effectively.
We dissected carcasses of eight mature females, both parous and non-parous specimens, to study the macroscopic anatomy of the female reproductive system in the sugar glider. The genital system includes double organs, namely the right and left ones, which are completely separated. It includes two ovaries, two oviducts, two and a vaginal complex.

However, their impact on laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study is to evaluate opioid consumption and other relevant outcome measures before and after implementation of a unique LDN ERAS protocol.
