Highlight Bile duct stone extraction is sometimes difficult in patients with surgically altered anatomy. Tanisaka and colleagues present a video case report demonstrating the usefulness of a novel retrieval basket with a unique helical shape, which facilitates the extraction of difficult bile duct stones, even in patients with surgically altered anatomy.

Dynamic brain networks (DBNs) can capture the intricate connections and temporal evolution among brain regions, becoming increasingly crucial in the diagnosis of neurological disorders. However, most existing researches tend to focus on isolated brain network sequence segmented by sliding windows, and they are difficult to effectively uncover the higher-order spatio-temporal topological pattern in DBNs. Meantime, it remains a challenge to utilize the structure connectivity prior in the DBNs analysis.

Background: Vaginal delivery in twins is feasible but challenging. Successful vaginal delivery of a non-vertex second twin depends on knowledge of specific obstetrical maneuvers. Skill acquisition at the patient's bedside is difficult, making simulation training an integral part of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.

In the cultivation of green chili peppers, the similarity between the fruit and background color, along with severe occlusion between fruits and leaves, significantly reduces the efficiency of harvesting robots. While increasing model depth can enhance detection accuracy, complex models are often difficult to deploy on low-cost agricultural devices. This paper presents an improved lightweight Pepper-YOLO model based on YOLOv8n-Pose, designed for simultaneous detection of green chili peppers and picking points.

Cancers and neurodegenerative disorders are associated with both disrupted proteostasis and altered nuclear morphology. Determining if changes in nuclear morphology contribute to pathology requires an understanding of the underlying mechanisms, which are difficult to elucidate in cells where pleiotropic effects of altering proteostasis might indirectly influence nuclear morphology. To investigate direct effects, we studied nuclei assembled in egg extract where potentially confounding effects of transcription, translation, cell cycle progression, and actin dynamics are absent.

Bioengineering is applied in different areas, including women's infertility management. Among other approaches, decellularized tissues are being used to treat uterine disorders causing infertility. Biomaterials made from decellularized tissue consist of tissue-specific extracellular matrix and, as acellular scaffolds, are thought to be immune inert.
