Simultaneous robotic hemicolectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy via a posterior approach.

Introduction: Advances in diagnostic technologies have resulted in an increase in patients with synchronous cancers. We report robotic hemicolectomy and robotic partial nephrectomy via a posterior approach.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old woman presented with synchronous ascending colon and right kidney cancers.

Advanced glycation end products promote ROS production via PKC/p47 phox axis in skeletal muscle cells.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are risk factors for various diseases, including sarcopenia. One of the deleterious effects of AGEs is the induction of abnormal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in skeletal muscle. However, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.

A Case of an Extremely Preterm Infant with Intussusception Triggered by Acquired Cytomegalovirus Infection.

Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants aged 6-18 months. However, intussusception in preterm neonates (IPN) is an exceedingly rare disorder. The etiology of IPN remains unclear, but common prenatal injuries, such as those causing intestinal hypoxia/hypoperfusion, dysmotility, and strictures, have been proposed as possible contributing factors.

Direct and acute effects of advanced glycation end products on proteostasis in isolated mouse skeletal muscle.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been implicated in several skeletal muscle dysfunctions. However, whether the adverse effects of AGEs on skeletal muscle are because of their direct action on the skeletal muscle tissue is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the direct and acute effects of AGEs on skeletal muscle using an isolated mouse skeletal muscle to eliminate several confounders derived from other organs.
