Background And Objective: Bench surgery (BenS) with kidney autotransplantation serves as an alternative to nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for patients harboring high-complexity renal tumors that are ineligible for in situ partial nephrectomy (PN). However, the experience of BenS with robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT) has been scarce in such cases. Here, we describe the operative techniques, and functional and oncological outcomes of BenS with RAKAT.

Brian-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) signaling impacts on neuronal and cardiovascular physiology; however, its role in neurocontrol of circulation via baroreflex afferent pathway is largely unknown. Gene and protein expression of BDNF/TrkB were detected in the nodose (NG) and nucleus of tractus solitary (NTS) and expression levels were higher in male compared with female rats, which is relevant well with the blood pressure (BP, males > females in average). Microinjection of BDNF into NG dose-dependently reduced BP and this reduction was more dramatic in shamed control vs.

Objective: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is suggested to be a cardiorespiratory collapse that occurs shortly after a seizure. Prior work in rats suggests that reflexive apneas (produced by stimulation of trigeminal or vagal peripheral sensory targets) is highly fatal during seizure but well tolerated otherwise. These reflexes share network connectivity in the medulla, particularly the caudal solitary nucleus (NTS) and ventral respiratory column (VRC), and possibly other intermediate structures.

Aim: To review the epidemiology, presentation, and outcomes of benign laryngeal nerve sheath tumors treated at our center.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the demographic data (age and sex), clinical profile, imaging, management, and follow-up of histopathologically confirmed benign solitary nerve sheath tumors of the larynx from January 2016 to August 2023.
Results: There were a total of 10 cases, 80% were schwannomas, and 20% were neurofibromas, all being sporadic with none associated with neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis.

Tetrapedia diversipes is a Neotropical solitary bee commonly found in trap-nests, known for its morphological adaptations for floral oil collection and prepupal diapause during the cold and dry season. Here, we present the genome assembly of T. diversipes (332 Mbp), comprising 2,575 scaffolds, with 15,028 predicted protein-coding genes.
