Summary: Conduction problems can still occur after transcatheter aortic valvar replacement, and the relationship of the conduction axis to the aortic root is important in understanding this phenomenon. Knowledge of the depth of the infero-septal recess and the angulation of the muscular ventricular septum may help prevent conduction issues post-transcatheter implantation of the aortic valve.

Summary: This study quantified the effects of long-term storage on myological properties of muscle specimens, finding that muscle size significantly decreased in stored specimens, but fascicle lengths did not shorten significantly. The study suggests that muscle mass, volume, and density of specimens stored long-term in ethanol should be corrected for comparability to fresh specimens.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on medical teaching, particularly in the practical subject of anatomy. Anatomy teachers face the challenge of replicating practical experiences for students. In response, teachers have started using advanced technology to enhance the teaching-learning session. However, the decrease in body donations has made it difficult to fully restore the previous teaching methods. Therefore, incorporating innovative educational technologies into daily teaching methodologies is necessary.

Summary: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from Beta vulgaris extract (BEX) were characterized and found to possess antioxidative and angiogenic properties. BEX treatment promoted angiogenesis and inhibited migration ability of fibroblasts, while also exhibiting antiaging and anti-scar capacities. These findings suggest potential cosmetic and therapeutic applications for Beta vulgaris.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of higher spatial resolution on the detection of trabeculation in human hearts. The results showed that measurements using high resolution MRI provide greater accuracy in evaluating cardiac wall morphology, with the number of detected trabeculations and T/C ratio positively correlated with higher spatial resolution. Additionally, the study could not replicate the previous reported correlation between trabeculations of the left and right ventricle using histological validation.

Summary: Thin films of bismuth and iron oxides were successfully deposited on a flexible Kapton substrate using ALD technique, exhibiting uniform distribution of elements, electrical polarization, and ferromagnetic response. The functionalization of Kapton surface with bismuth and iron oxides allows for the adaptation of Bi-Fe-O system to flexible electronics.

Summary: Tissue Engineering is a regenerative medical technology that replaces damaged tissue using appropriate scaffolding, living cells, and growth factors. In the field of dermatology, tissue engineering has evolved from single applications to the use of cell and scaffold combinations for the treatment of acute and chronic skin wounds.

Summary: This study evaluated white matter neuroplasticity in healthy adults pre-post motor training, specifically focusing on motor learning in the non-dominant hand. Changes in neuroplasticity were observed in the internal capsule and corpus callosum, with significant amplitude reductions in low-frequency oscillations implicating optimized transmission through altered myelination. The findings open new avenues for white matter investigations and advance MRI clinical applications.

Summary: This study reviewed evidence of hemispheric laterality of visual mental imagery, finding that both frontoparietal networks in both hemispheres and left inferior temporal lobe are associated with visual mental imagery. Different lateralization patterns were observed when endogenously generated images are compared to those induced by exogenous stimulation, indicating a crucial participation of high-level visual regions in the temporal lobes in visual mental imagery.

Summary: The failure of regeneration among vertebrates can be attributed to the loss of regeneration-driving genes during their colonization of land and the evolution of new genes that restrict organ regeneration. These changes have resulted in vertebrates no longer being able to regenerate like fish and amphibians, but mainly repairing organs through regengrow.

Summary: Observations on the ontogeny and diversity of salamanders have shed light on the evolution of animal forms, with advances in understanding developmental mechanisms, phylogenetic relationships, and the impact of ecology on development. Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the majority of branches in the Salamander Tree of Life, and the ancestral reconstructions reveal repeated transitions between life cycle modes and ecologies. The colonization of diverse habitats has led to phenotypic diversification and convergence in some cases, while unrelated lineages may follow different developmental pathways to arrive at convergent phenotypes.
