Article Synopsis
- The share of solar power in Brazil's grid is growing, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security.
- A study evaluates climate models' ability to predict surface solar irradiance in Brazil, indicating most regions may see a 2% to 8% increase, while the South may experience a 3% decrease.
- The findings suggest potential growth in photovoltaic energy production if supported by public policies, emphasizing the need for careful assessment of climate model uncertainty.
Article Synopsis
- Posterior sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations are uncommon but can lead to urgent situations due to surrounding vital structures, necessitating either conservative or surgical management when closed reduction fails.
- This study reviews recent literature on SCJ trauma and presents five case studies from a single institution, detailing treatments that include a figure-of-eight autologous semitendinosus graft and high-strength suture tape.
- Follow-up results show that regardless of treatment choice, patients regained full shoulder range of motion and strength without neurological issues, indicating effective healing and recovery.
(1) Introduction: Diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) is an important component in the workup of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Whether URS was associated with increased recurrence in the bladder was not fully concluded. The current study aimed to evaluate the implication of URS on the incidences of intravesical recurrence following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in non-metastatic UTUC patients without prior history of bladder cancer via multi-institutional data.

- The study examined how different heat treatments (thermization at 57°C and 68°C) and ripening times (105 and 180 days) affect cheese metabolite profiles by analyzing 95 cheese samples using GC-MS.
- Statistical methods, including ANOVA and PLS-DA, were used to identify significant changes in compound levels due to the treatments, achieving around 76% accuracy in classification.
- Key findings showed that amino acids and an endocannabinoid were mainly influenced by ripening time, while biogenic amines and saccharides were significantly impacted by the heat treatment process.
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the status of spermatogenesis detected by histological examination of non-tumoral testicular tissues in tumor bearing testis and its association with advanced stage disease.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) that undergone radical orchiectomy. All non-tumoral areas of the orchiectomy specimens were examined for the status of spermatogenesis.
