Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is being adapted for widespread indications because it offers minimal invasiveness. Herein, we report a case of synchronous bilateral cortex-preserving adrenalectomy for bilateral large adrenal pheochromocytomas. We used conventional laparoscopic instruments and trocars through a single-port site. The total operative time was 110 min. There were no perioperative complications. Single-incision multiport laparoendoscopic surgery, also known as SIMPLE surgery, can be safely used for bilateral adrenalectomy. This modification holds promise with its minimally invasive nature and reduced cost.

Backgrounds: Aberrant brain structures in schizophrenia have been widely explored. However, the causal effects of negative symptoms on brain structural alterations are still unclear. This study aims to explore the synchronous and progressive alterations in gray matter volume (GMV) associated with negative symptoms.

Background: Women with ovarian cancer (OC) and a pathogenic variant in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at increased risk of developing breast cancer (BC). Evidence for long term outcomes in these patients who undergo bilateral risk reduction mastectomy (RRM) after ovarian cancer is sparse. The aim of this study was to analyse the long-term breast cancer-related outcomes of patients who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and found to have BRCA1 or 2 pathogenic variants.

Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common kidney cancer in infants and young children. The determination of the clonality of bilateral WTs is critical to the treatment, because lineage-independent and metastatic tumors may require different treatment strategies. Here we found synchronous bilateral WT (n = 24 tumors from 12 patients) responded differently to preoperative chemotherapy.

Circadian rhythms in mammals arise from the spatiotemporal synchronization of ~20,000 neuronal clocks in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN). While anatomical, molecular, and genetic approaches have revealed diverse cell types and signaling mechanisms, the network wiring that enables SCN cells to communicate and synchronize remains unclear. To overcome the challenges of revealing functional connectivity from fixed tissue, we developed MITE (Mutual Information & Transfer Entropy), an information theory approach that infers directed cell-cell connections with high fidelity.

Sporadic bilateral renal cell carcinoma (BRCC) is a rare situation of RCC. The treatment for BRCC is controversial and there is a lack of authoritative guidelines about the management of BRCC. Patients diagnosed with sporadic BRCC between 2004 and 2020 were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
