Unlabelled: Many animals respond to sensory cues with species-specific coordinated movements to successfully navigate their environment. However, the neural mechanisms that support diverse sensorimotor transformations across species with distinct navigational strategies remain largely unexplored. By comparing related teleost species, zebrafish ( ) and ( ), we investigated behavioral patterns and neural architectures during the visually guided optomotor response (OMR).

Dysregulation of epithelial-stromal communication during hormone-mediated signaling may be linked to myriad gynecological disorders for which treatments remain inadequate. Here, we describe a completely defined, synthetic extracellular matrix that enables co-culture of human endometrial epithelial and stromal cells in a manner that captures healthy and disease states across a simulated menstrual cycle.

- The study looks at how often placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) happens in pregnancies after women have undergone a specific treatment for a condition called Asherman syndrome (AS).
- Out of 355 patients treated for AS, 97 got pregnant beyond the first trimester, and 23.7% of them had PAS, with previous cesarean deliveries being a significant risk factor.
- Many patients with PAS faced serious complications, like needing a cesarean hysterectomy or experiencing uterine rupture, highlighting the need for better ways to diagnose and predict PAS in these pregnancies.
Background: While burnout has been identified in half of practicing physicians, no validated questionnaires have assessed burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows.
Objective: This study aimed to assess factors associated with burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows.
Study Design: Cross-sectional online survey including the validated Copenhagen Burnout Inventory: 100 minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows in the United States were invited, including the classes of 2021 and 2022.

Study Objective: To assess whether complications incurred during hysterectomy for the treatment of endometriosis differ among racial-ethnic groups.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2014 to 2019.
