Pterodon pubescens cavities are constituted by lumen and uniseriated epithelium surrounded by multiseriate parenchyma sheath. We studied the development of secretory cavities, including the role of parenchyma sheath, using light and transmission electron microscopy. A Tunel assay was performed to verify whether programmed cell death (PCD) occurs during the process. The lumen is formed by schizogeny and lysigeny occur in later developmental stages of the secretory cavities. Ultrastructurally, epithelial cells in later developmental stages become dark and with sinuous walls; the protoplast becomes retracted and the cytoplasm shows low organelle definition. Degenerated cells are released toward the lumen. Our results showed that PCD occurs during later developmental stages of cavities and plays a critical role in functioning of these glands. New cells originated from the parenchyma sheath differentiate into secretory cells and replace those degenerated ones. This fact associated to PCD guarantees epithelium renovation during the secretory cycle and the maintenance of secretory activity of cavities.

An 84-year-old man with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome treated with tocilizumab reported with a 3-day history of left eye pain, conjunctival chemosis and injection, and horizontal binocular diplopia. Examination revealed restriction of left eye ductions in all directions with mild unilateral proptosis. MRI of his brain and orbits demonstrated abnormal enhancement of the left posterior sclera and intraorbital optic nerve sheath, without involvement of the extraocular muscles, cavernous sinus, or optic nerve parenchyma.

- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) can cause damage to blood vessels and kidney tissue, leading to impaired kidney function, and this study focuses on the biomarker NGAL associated with acute kidney injury.
- The study involved 46 patients whose NGAL levels were measured before and after PNL, exploring how factors like type of kidney stone and procedure duration affected kidney function.
- Findings indicate that significant kidney function impairment, particularly with staghorn stones, is linked to high initial NGAL levels, suggesting that NGAL testing could effectively assess kidney damage immediately following PNL.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

The leaf midrib system is essential for plant growth and development, facilitating nutrient transport, providing structural support, enabling gas exchange, and enhancing resilience to environmental stresses. However, the molecular mechanism regulating leaf midrib development is still unclear.In this study, we reported a rice solid midrib 1 (sm1) mutant, exhibiting solid leaf aerenchyma and abaxial rolling leaves due to abnormal development of parenchyma and bulliform cells.

Silvopastoral systems are an important strategy for sustainable livestock production. However, to expand their implementation, it is crucial to identify and develop forage materials that maintain good production and quality while being tolerant to shade conditions as well as other biotic and abiotic stresses. A field trial was conducted to evaluate the morpho-anatomical and agronomic responses of two hybrids (Camello and Talisman) under two light conditions: shade (28 % light intensity) and full exposure.
