Gibboryctes Endrödi, 1974 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Oryctini) is an uncommon Neotropical genus comprising five valid species (Gasca-Álvarez Ratcliffe 2011; Dupuis 2019). Endrödi (1974) established the genus based on Gibboryctes szelenyii Endrödi, 1974 and defined it by the absence of sexual dimorphism; short, triangular, and pointed clypeus; bidentate mandibles projected beyond the anterior clypeal margin; and protibiae quadridentate. After that, Gibboryctes waldenfelsi (Endrödi, 1977) and Gibboryctes gracilicornis (Prell, 1912) were assigned to Gibboryctes, from Strategus Kirby, 1828 and Heterogomphus Burmeister, 1847, respectively (Ratcliffe Dechambre 1983; Dupuis Dechambre 2008). Gibboryctes bollei Dechambre, 2006 and Gibboryctes impunctatus Dupuis, 2019 were subsequently described.

Chronic exposure to high altitudes causes pathophysiological cardiac changes that are characterized by cardiac dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, and decreased energy reserves. However, finding specific pharmacological interventions for these pathophysiological changes is challenging. In this study, we identified tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) as a promising drug candidate for cardiac dysfunction caused by simulated high-altitude exposure.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a class of protocells that can differentiate into various cell types and have robust replication and renewal capabilities. MSCs secrete various nutritional factors to regulate the microenvironment of tumor tissues. The mechanism by which they inhibit or promote tumor growth may be closely related to MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo).

Over the past century, numerous studies have examined Jean Piaget's relationship with psychoanalysis. Until the 1970s, they often emphasized the value of a rapprochement between Piaget and Freud and highlighted the use of Piaget's ideas in therapeutic practice. Then from the 1980s onwards, several studies focused on the relationship between his work-seen as purely cognitive, to the exclusion of the social and the affective-and his conflicted relationship with his mother.

Motor cortical high-gamma oscillations (60-90 Hz) occur at movement onset and are spatially focused over the contralateral primary motor cortex. Although high-gamma oscillations are widely recognized for their significance in human motor control, their precise function on a cortical level remains elusive. Importantly, their relevance in human stroke pathophysiology is unknown.

Background: Anal fissure is one of the most painful anal conditions. Various management options are available, including topical nitrites, calcium channel blockers, botulinum toxin injection, and lateral internal sphincterotomy. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin A (BT) injection for the management of symptomatic chronic anal fissures by conducting a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
