Robot-assisted Kidney Transplantation in Patients Undergoing Cystectomy with Urinary Diversion: First Cases Reported by the ERUS-RAKT Working Group.
Eur Urol Open Sci
January 2025
Department of Urology, Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge, Barcelona, Spain.
The indication for kidney transplantation over a urinary diversion (UD) for patients with severe lower urinary tract dysfunction and end-stage renal disease is a controversial issue. Thanks to advances in robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) programs, the boundaries are being pushed further. We present the first RAKT series reported for patients undergoing simple cystectomy and UD for benign bladder disease.

Purpose: Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents are considered as safe, with a very low rate of intraocular inflammations (IOI). Faricimab is a novel intravitreal bispecific antibody targeting both VEGF-A and angiopoietin-Tie2 independently. Despite a safe profile in randomized clinical trials, several real-life studies have reported cases of IOI.

Introduction: Bilateral simultaneous rotational ankle fractures are an unusual phenomenon that remains unreported in the English literature, and to our knowledge, about 10 cases have been reported. The aim of the study was to evaluate and report clinical outcomes of bilateral simultaneous ankle fractures in our institution.
Case Reoprt: We conducted a review of our 2-year experience with patients who had simultaneous bilateral fractures of the ankles and were treated at our institution.
Human fallopian tube organoids provide a favourable environment for sperm motility.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.
Short-Latency Trigeminocervical Reflex Obtained Without Muscle Activation: Topographic Distribution and Methodological Approach.
J Clin Neurophysiol
November 2024
Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: Electrical stimulation of trigeminal nerve branches elicits early and late reflex responses in the cervical muscles, known as the trigeminocervical reflex (TCR). This study aimed to evaluate the neurophysiological aspects, stimulation patterns, and topographic distribution of short-latency TCR components in humans in the absence of voluntary muscle activation.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 30 participants.
