Introduction: 'Fast track' guidelines have incorporated multimodal measures to optimize perioperative outcomes in surgery, with laparoscopy being a pivotal component for its advantages in early recovery. In this setting, current recommendations regarding the use of a urinary catheter suggest its removal within the first 24-hours postoperatively.  However, few studies have assessed the feasibility of leaving the operating room without it.

apical growing protonemal cells have the singularity that they continue to undergo cell divisions as the plant develops. This feature provides a valuable tool to study autophagy in the context of a multicellular apical growing tissue coupled to development. Herein, we showed that the core autophagy machinery is present in the moss , and characterized the 2D and 3D growth and development of and loss-of-function mutants under optimal and nutrient-deprived conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • This article talks about a special fluorescent dye called ACDAN that helps scientists study how water moves in and around cells and tissues.
  • ACDAN is very good at mixing with water, making it different from another dye called LAURDAN that works better in oily environments.
  • The article explains how ACDAN works, why understanding water movement is important for studying cells, and shares cool examples from plants that show what scientists can discover using this dye.

Studies focusing on terminal drought combined with heat impacts on plants of agronomic value remain scarce, and even less under field conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate leaf structural and ultrastructural changes induced by heat stress (HS) and drought stress (DS) during seed filling and their relationship with physiological variables and yield determination. Two soybean cultivars were grown in field conditions.
