The present study investigated male murine accessory sex glands as potential sources of a urinary aggression-promoting chemosignal. Experiments 1-4 were designed to determine whether the removal of the following glands would eliminate voided urine chemosignal activity: vesicular and coagulating glands, Cowper's gland, prostate gland, or preputial gland. The findings indicate that only preputialectomy eliminated the aggression-promoting properties of voided urine, which provides evidence that this gland is a necessary condition for chemo-activity. The efficacy of the preputial gland as sufficient for chemosignal production was examined in Experiment 5. Urine from males that had an intact preputial but removed vesicular, coagulating, Cowper's, and prostate glands was assessed and shown to possess the chemocue. It was concluded that the presence of a functional preputial gland is a necessary and sufficient condition for providing an accessory sex gland aggression-promoting chemosignal.

The relationship between structures affecting maxillary sinus ventilation and maxillary sinus volume: a CT study.
Surg Radiol Anat
March 2025
Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aims to identify anatomical variations inside and outside the maxillary sinus (MS), determine their prevalence and coexistence, and investigate their relationship with MS volume in individuals without MS pathology, using ImFusion Suite software.
Methods: Analysis of 330 paranasal CT scans obtained from the radiology archive (2018-2021) was performed using the ImFusion Suite program. Anatomical variations, including accessory ostium, Haller cells, ethmomaxillary sinus, concha anomalies, septa, and impacted teeth, were identified and their frequency of coexistence was determined.
Comparison of vascular complications between external iliac and internal iliac artery anastomosis of the donor renal artery in renal transplant recipients.

Introduction: The arterial anastomosis in renal transplantation is done either end-to-end to the internal iliac artery (IIA) or end-to-side to the external iliac artery (EIA). This retrospective study is to compare the vascular complications of these two techniques occurring in the immediate postoperative period.
Materials And Methods: The data of 111 patients who underwent renal transplantation (live and deceased) were collected from the hospital records.
Ca-activated ion channels exert opposite effects in different signaling compartments of vomeronasal sensory neurons.

In most mammals, conspecific chemical cues that drive innate social and sexual behavior are detected by the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and processed in the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). Chemosensory stimulation of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) at their microvillous dendritic knobs triggers, first, a local signal transduction and amplification cascade and, second, transformation of that signal into action potential (AP) discharge at the soma. Both processes ‒ signal transduction and AP generation ‒ involve local Ca elevations in the knob and soma, respectively.

Despite consistent evidence that face masks (FMs) increase dyspnea during exercise, few studies have examined the sex differences in the physiological and perceptual responses to FMs. In a randomized, cross-over design, 32 healthy individuals (16 female;23±3yr) completed incremental cycling tests on two visits with either no mask or a surgical FM. Dyspnea intensity and unpleasantness were assessed using the 0-10 category-ratio Borg scale.

Since the introduction of 3D mapping systems, the use of x-rays in electrophysiology procedures has significantly decreased. The goal of this study was to analyze the frequency of x-ray use in pediatric electrophysiology in relation to age or body mass, indication for the procedure, and arrhythmia substrate. This retrospective, cross-sectional study included all pediatric procedures in two centers, Gottsegen Cardiovascular Center, Budapest, Hungary and Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Center, Zagreb, Croatia.
