In any partially inbred population, 'junctions' are the loci that form boundaries between segments of ancestral chromosomes. Here we show that the expected number of junctions per Morgan in such a population is linearly related to the inbreeding coefficient of the population, with a maximum in a completely inbred population corresponding to the prediction given by Stam (1980). We further show that high-density marker maps (fully informative markers with average densities of up to 200 per cM) will fail to detect a significant proportion of the junctions present in highly inbred populations. The number of junctions detected is lower than that which would be expected if junctions were distributed randomly along the chromosome, and we show that junctions are not, in fact randomly spaced. This non-random spacing of junctions significantly increases the number of markers that is required to detect 90% of the junctions present on any chromosome: a marker count of at least 12 times the number of junctions present will be needed to detect this proportion.

Incorporating Perineorrhaphy into the LeFort Colpocleisis: A Modified Surgical Approach.
Int Urogynecol J
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT, 06511, USA.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Perineorrhaphy with levator myorrhaphy is considered a standard part of colpocleisis. Typically, this is done through a separate incision after colpocleisis is completed. We present a video to demonstrate a modified approach to LeFort colpocleisis incorporating perineorrhaphy into the procedure.

Background/purpose: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) serves as an interdisciplinary disease involved in dermatology and stomatology in many cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics and research trends of DLE.
Materials And Methods: All the papers on DLE were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database.
Prediction of surgical necessity in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction using machine learning.

Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Surgery Division of Pediatric Urology, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskişehir, Turkey.
Background: Hydronephrosis developing at the ureteropelvic junction due to obstruction poses clinical challenges as it has the potential to cause renal damage.
Aims: This study aims to evaluate how well machine learning models such, as XGBClassifier and Logistic Regression can be used to predict the need for treatment in patients, with hydronephrosis resulting from ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Methods: Hydronephrosis was diagnosed in the medical records of patients from January 2015 to December 2020.
Aneurysm of the arch of the great saphenous vein: therapeutic challenge and review of the literature.
J Vasc Bras
January 2025
Souss Massa University Hospital Center, Agadir, Morocco.
Venous aneurysms are uncommon and can involve the entire venous system and occur at any age. The presence of these aneurysmal formations at the level of the saphenous vein junction is rarely reported, given the small number of cases described in the literature. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with an aneurysm in the saphenofemoral junction of the right great saphenous vein, discovered incidentally during a consultation for varicose veins of the right lower limb.

Background: During mammalian spermatogenesis, the cytoskeleton system plays a significant role in morphological changes. Male infertility such as non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) might be explained by studies of the cytoskeletal system during spermatogenesis.
Methods: The cytoskeleton, scaffold, and actin-binding genes were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics (771 spermatogenic cellsgenes and 774 Sertoli cell genes).
