Published: August 2023

High intensity theatre (HIT) lists are an efficient and effective measure to tackle elective surgery backlogs without compromising outcomes and safety compared with traditional elective lists. A recent pilot trial in standard and complex urological surgery at a tertiary hospital in the UK proved successful for both the patients and the staff involved.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers propose a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) piezoresistive 3-axial tactile sensor that offers real-time force feedback for surgeons during procedures, with a tiny size of only 3.5 mm in diameter.
  • * Experimental results show that the sensor can accurately measure forces up to 1.2 N with a minimal relative error of 1.18%, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for integration into robotic surgical tools for improving precision in the operating room.

Background: Targeted protein degradation of neosubstrates plays a crucial role in hematological cancer treatment involving immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) therapy. Nevertheless, the persistence of inevitable drug resistance and hematological toxicities represents a significant obstacle to their clinical effectiveness.

Methods: Phenotypic profiling of a small molecule compounds library in multiple hematological cancer cell lines was conducted to screen for hit degraders.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is highly prevalent, and lacks effective treatment. The aberration of WNT pathway underlies many pathological processes including cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy, while porcupine is an acyltransferase essential for the secretion of WNT ligands. In this study we investigated the role of WNT signaling pathway in HFpEF as well as whether blocking WNT signaling by a novel porcupine inhibitor CGX1321 alleviated HFpEF.
