Background The importance of intracochlear pressure during cochlear electrode insertion for the preservation of residual hearing has been widely discussed. Various aspects of pre-insertional, intra-insertional, and post-insertional relevant conditions affect intracochlear pressure. The fluid situation at the round window during electrode insertion has been shown to be an influential factor. Aims/Objectives The aim of the study was to compare various insertion techniques in terms of the fluid situation at the round window. Material and Methods We performed insertion of cochlear implant electrodes in a curled artificial cochlear model. We placed and fixed the pressure sensor at the tip of the cochlea. In parallel to the insertions, we evaluated the maximum amplitude of intracochlear pressure under four different fluid conditions at the round window (1) hyaluronic acid; (2) moisturized electrode, dry middle ear; (3) middle ear filled with fluid (underwater); and (4) moisturized electrode, wet middle ear, indirectly inserted. Results We observed that the insertional intracochlear pressure is dependent on the fluid situation in front of the round window. The lowest amplitude changes were observed for the moisturized electrode indirectly inserted in a wet middle ear (0.13 mmHg ± 0.07), and the highest values were observed for insertion through hyaluronic acid in front of the round window (0.64 mmHg ± 0.31). Conclusions The fluid state in front of the round window influences the intracochlear pressure value during cochlear implant electrode insertion in our model. Indirect insertion of a moisturized electrode through a wet middle ear experimentally generated the lowest pressure values. Hyaluronic acid in front of the round window leads to high intracochlear pressure in our non-validated artificial model.Introduction and Objectives Kidney autotransplantation can be performed in patients with complex renal or ureteral pathology not suitable for in situ reconstruction, such as renal vasculature anomalies, patients with proximal or long complex ureteral strictures, or complex oncological cases. Robot-assisted surgery allows for a high-quality vascular and ureteral anastomosis and faster patient recovery. Robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT) is performed in two phases nephrectomy and pelvic transplantation. In-between, extraction of the kidney allows for vascular reconstruction or kidney modification on the bench and safe cold ischemia can be established. If no bench reconstruction is needed, total intracorporeal RAKAT (tiRAKAT) is feasible. One case report in Europe has been described; however, to our knowledge no surgical video is available. Methods A 58 year-old woman suffered from right mid- and distal ureteral stenosis following pelvic radiotherapy 10 years prior for cervical cancer. A JJ stent non-significantly from 27 to 25.2 mL/min (-6.7%) on renal scintigraphy. https://www.selleckchem.com/mTOR.html Conclusion We demonstrated feasibility and, for the first time, a surgical video of tiRAKAT highlighting patient positioning, trocar placement, and intracorporeal cold ischemia technique.Increasing consumer interest in fermented products has driven the emergence of a number of novel foods including shelf-stable sourdough pasta. This study comprehensively examined the impact of fermentation on the microbial composition of the culture, pasta, its subsequent effects on glycemic responses and gut microbiota in overweight men and women (>25 kg/m2) compared to a conventional, non-fermented pasta. Two, randomized crossover trials were performed. Study A examined acute feeding responses to each product wherein fasted participants completed a meal tolerance test comprised of 75 g of conventional or sourdough pasta to examine glycemic responses. Results showed enhanced gastric emptying with sourdough, but no difference in overall blood glucose, insulin or satiety hormone responses between the treatments. Study B consisted of three standard oral glucose tolerance tests as well as fecal collection for sequencing at baseline and following each pasta intervention (150 g or 2 serving/d for 5 days) followed by a 2-week washout period. Results showed no differential impact of either pasta treatment on glucose tolerance. Analysis of fecal bacterial and fungal (mycobiome) microbiota showed no change at the individual species or genus levels. However, fungi were adaptive following chronic pasta consumption with decreases in alpha diversity of fungi following sourdough, but not conventional pasta. This was accompanied by reductions in total fecal short chain fatty acid concentrations. In conclusion, sourdough fermentation did not change the overall glycemic properties of the pasta, incretin responses or bacterial gut microbiota, but appears to impact microbiome fungal community structure with chronic consumption.Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of fish and omega-3 fatty acids consumption on the risk of VTE. Methods A comprehensive literature search in the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase (up to September 2020), was conducted to identify the prospective cohort studies concerning the associations of fish and omega-3 fatty acids consumption with the risk of VTE. The pooled relative risk (RR) of VTE for the highest vs. lowest category of fish and omega-3 fatty acids consumption, as well as their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of seven articles with eight prospective cohort studies were included. Specifically, six studies were related to fish consumption, and the overall multi-variable adjusted RR showed no significant relationship between fish consumption and the risk of VTE (RR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.93-1.11; P = 0.709). In the four studies related to omega-3 fatty acids consumption, the overall multi-variable adjusted RR suggested that omega-3 fatty acids consumption was associated with a lower risk of VTE (RR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.80-0.98; P = 0.024). Moreover, two studies were related to recurrent VTE, and the overall multi-variable adjusted RR demonstrated a significant inverse association between omega-3 fatty acids consumption and the risk of recurrent VTE (RR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.25-0.81; P = 0.008). Conclusion Although current evidence is still insufficient to demonstrate any relationship between fish consumption and the risk of VTE, omega-3 fatty acids consumption seems to be associated with a lower risk of both VTE and recurrent VTE. Further large well-designed prospective cohort studies are warranted to elaborate the issues examined in this study.
