For more than 80 years, the clinical perspective on the behavioral outcome of split-brain surgery suggested that it "may be carried out without any untoward effect on the patient," despite some initial and transient disconnection effects. The last 60 years of experimental studies, however, have shown quite the opposite. Using lateralized testing procedures, split-brain patients have demonstrated profound disconnection effects that can last a lifetime.

Objectives: To analyse individual VV-Qmax plots based on multiple home uroflowmetries and compare these with cross-sectional nomograms.
Methods: Healthy volunteers (16-69 years) without LUTS were asked to take a Minze Homeflow device home to register 25 uroflows. Participants reporting urinary tract disorders, malignancy or medication affecting bladder function were excluded.

Tryptase is currently the most specific mast cell biomarker available in clinical laboratories. Tryptase levels in peripheral blood contribute to the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic evaluation of three clinical categories: (1) immediate hypersensitivity reactions including the life-threatening systemic form known as anaphylaxis, (2) clonal mast cell diseases and other myeloid malignancies, including as a biomarker for efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents targeting mast cell survival, and (3) hereditary α-tryptasemia (HαT), a genetic trait found in 4 - 8% of general population associated to increased risk of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Rapidly evolving pathophysiology knowledge and management guidelines impact tryptase use in clinical practice, explaining the need for frequent updates.

The aim of this study was to identify which biosecurity assessment methods (BAMs) are currently used in practice in animal farms. To address this, a structured questionnaire was developed to gather information such as the animal species, main objectives, type of enforcement, output generated and feedback of the result. In the context of the BETTER Cost Action project, country representatives identified in each of their countries which BAMs were used and completed an online survey.

Aims/hypothesis: Signalling pathways that regulate endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, ischaemia and inflammation play a crucial role in retinal microangiopathy such as diabetic retinopathy. MAP4K4 is highly expressed in ECs. However, the involvement of MAP4K4 in retinal vasculopathy of diabetic retinopathy remains unclear.
