Unlabelled: The male genitalia cosmetic surgery matches an ever growing need. The aim of this study is to describe our penile lengthening and widening procedures, the benefits and complications that could result from it.
Patients And Methods: We perform these procedures since 1992 and treated close to 2000 patients. Thanks to our expertise and after succeeding in standardizing our techniques, we achieved a retrospective survey on 103 patients operated between 2004 and 2006. We describe here the two processes of our operating technique and we analyse the results obtained 1 month, 3 months and 1 year after the surgery.
Results: In most cases, combining a penis adipose tissue grafting, a suspensory ligament section and an adequate skin plasty is proven to be necessary in order to obtain both lengthening and widening increases. One year later, the increase is about 2.7 cm in length, corresponding to 28%, and 2.6 cm in circumference, corresponding to 27%. The complications (cutaneous necrosis, haematoma, lymphoedema, disharmonies), whenever they may exist, are most of the time spontaneously resolutive.
Conclusion: Combining a penile fat tissue grafting with a suspensory ligament section allows us to answer to most of patients' expectations. However, several liposculpturing sessions might be necessary in order to get satisfactory results.

Chondrocyte columns, which are a hallmark of growth plate architecture, play a central role in bone elongation. Columns are formed by clonal expansion following rotation of the division plane, resulting in a stack of cells oriented parallel to the growth direction. In this work, we analyzed hundreds of Confetti multicolor clones in growth plates of mouse embryos using a pipeline comprising 3D imaging and algorithms for morphometric analysis.

Optical detection is an indispensable part of microfluidic systems for nutrient determination in seawater. Coupling total internal reflection capillaries with microfluidic chips is a practical alternative to increase the optical path length for high-sensitivity and a low detection limit in colorimetric assays, which has not been applied in microfluidic devices for seawater nutrients. Here, we present an online microfluidic system which integrated a total internal reflection capillary made of Teflon AF 2400 for the high-sensitivity detection of nitrite and nitrate in seawater.

Article Synopsis
- Bacillus subtilis uses biofilms to survive harsh conditions, with extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) being vital for biofilm structure.
- Researchers created a minimal network model to study how EPS production is regulated, revealing that interactions between specific proteins influence the timing and intensity of EPS production.
- The study found that changes in the cell cycle and nutrient availability impact the dynamics of EPS synthesis, suggesting that bacteria strategically organize their genes to maintain a consistent level of EPS-secreting cells.
Previous studies have examined the rubber hand illusion with finger lengthening, but there is limited research on finger widening. This suggests a strong cognitive bias toward the illusory expansion of the finger in a distal direction rather than lateral. To test this, we compared the illusory deformability of the finger in the distal and lateral directions through the generation of illusory finger deformation using a double-touch operation, referred to as the numbness illusion.

Self-assembly of peptides on layered nanomaterials such as graphite and MoS in the formation of long-range ordered two-dimensional nanocrystal patterns leading to its potential applications for biosensing and bioelectronics has attracted significant interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology. However, controlling the self-assembly of peptides on nanomaterials is still challenging due to the unclear role of nanomaterials in steering self-assembly. Here, we used the AFM technique to capture different changes of peptide coverage as well as lengthening and widening rates depending on peptide concentrations, show the distinct boundary dynamics of two stabilized peptide domains, and resolve the molecular resolution structural differences and specific orientation of peptide on both nanomaterials.
