Since its introduction more than 30 years ago, laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the gold standard approach to adrenal surgery for the majority of adrenal pathology. It has been shown to have superior clinical benefits to open adrenalectomy for the majority of cases of adrenal surgery. Robot-assisted adrenalectomy has also been shown to be a reasonable alternative approach to adrenal gland resection. Even though robot-assisted adrenalectomy has been performed in the United States for more than 20 years, it has yet to become the gold-standard for this operation, evidenced by the fact that in the United States laparoscopic adrenalectomy remains more common than robot-assisted adrenalectomy. Market factors, clinical factors and surgeon factors all play a role in the spread and adoption of robotic surgery in general. Here we review the most up to date literature on the state of robotic adrenalectomy in the United States, and explore some of the factors that may be influencing the rate of adoption of robotic adrenalectomy in the United States.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the global need for accessible content to rapidly train health care workers during health emergencies. The massive open access online course (MOOC) format is a broadly embraced strategy for widespread dissemination of trainings. Yet, barriers associated with technology access, language, and cultural context limit the use of MOOCs, particularly in lower-resource communities.

Type II nuclear receptors (T2NRs) require heterodimerization with a common partner, the retinoid X receptor (RXR), to bind cognate DNA recognition sites in chromatin. Based on previous biochemical and overexpression studies, binding of T2NRs to chromatin is proposed to be regulated by competition for a limiting pool of the core RXR subunit. However, this mechanism has not yet been tested for endogenous proteins in live cells.

Background And Hypothesis: Improvements in screening tools for early subthreshold psychosis symptoms are needed to facilitate early identification and intervention efforts, especially given the challenges of rapidly differentiating age-appropriate experiences from potential early signs of emerging psychosis. Tools can be lengthy and time-consuming, impacting their utility and accessibility across clinical settings, and age-normed data are limited. To address this gap, we sought to develop and validate a brief, empirically derived, age-normed, subthreshold psychosis screening tool, for public use.

Diffraction imaging of cells allows rapid phenotyping by the response of intracellular molecules to coherent illumination. However, its ability to distinguish numerous types of human leukocytes remains to be investigated. Here, we show that accurate classification of three lymphocyte subtypes can be achieved with features extracted from cross-polarized diffraction image (p-DI) pairs.

Heat dissipation has become a critical challenge in modern electronics, driving the need for a revolution in thermal management strategies beyond traditional packaging materials, thermal interface materials, and heat sinks. Cubic boron arsenide (c-BAs) offers a promising solution, thanks to its combination of high thermal conductivity and high ambipolar mobility, making it highly suitable for applications in both electronic devices and thermal management. However, challenges remain, particularly in the large-scale synthesis of a high-quality material and the tuning of its physical properties.
