AI Article Synopsis
- The review examines how elephants communicate using seismic signals through their physical structure, behavior, and physiological processes.
- It highlights the various mechanisms that enable these vibrations to be transmitted and perceived by elephants.
- The discussion includes the significance of this vibration sense for the elephants' overall survival and fitness in their environment.
Article Abstract
This review explores the mechanisms that elephants may use to send and receive seismic signals from a physical, anatomical, behavioral, and physiological perspective. The implications of the use of the vibration sense as a multimodal signal will be discussed in light of the elephant's overall fitness and survival.

Alterations in the lipid layer and intercellular corneocyte connections can lead to increased allergen penetration through the skin surface. A normal cutaneous microbiome keeps the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus pseudintermedius levels low, but allergic inflammation leads to decreased diversity and increase in S pseudintermedius. Keratinocytes sound the initial allergen alarm via cytokine signaling and promote T-helper 2 (Th-2) inflammation.

Context: Vitreoretinal large B- cell lymphoma (VR- LBCL) is a type of non- Hodgkin lymphoma confined to the eye and central nervous system (CNS). The clinical manifestations of intraocular lymphoma can precede, occur simultaneously with, or follow disease at CNS sites. It differs from other forms of extra-nodal lymphoma; in that it does not involve systemic sites other than CNS.

The purpose of this article is to introduce a novel imaging device and technique for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) and evaluate its clinical application. We have modified the bronchoscope to generate a novel imaging device. The handle of the bronchoscope was removed and replaced with added fixation pieces to secure the new device to the endotracheal tube.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to better classify uveal melanoma (UM) cell lines by examining their genetic and expression profiles, particularly focusing on identifying any underlying genetic causes for their behavior.
- Researchers analyzed 14 UM cell lines using techniques like next-generation sequencing and SNP arrays to assess protein and mRNA expression, and to identify genetic variants.
- Results indicated that cell lines Mel285 and Mel290, which do not have typical UM mutations, possess distinct genetic alterations and expression profiles, making them potentially unsuitable for research on therapeutic targets for UM.
