Institutional availability, training resources, and supervised participation in robot-assisted surgery among Polish urology residents: a nationwide survey

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has expanded rapidly in Poland, but its integration into resident education remains uncertain. In a nationwide anonymous 35-question survey sent to 390 Polish urology residents, 156 completed it (40.0%). Among respondents, 110 (70.5%) reported RAS ava...

A 30-year Polish cohort study covering the COVID-19 pandemic period indicates shifts in the age of infants’ motor development milestones

Abstract Infants’ motor development is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The objective of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in the age of gross motor skill development between cohorts observed over a 30-year period, and if these differences...

Three vs. five trocar approach in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a comparative retrospective study of 100 patients

To compare operative outcomes, postoperative complications, and weight-loss effectiveness between three-trocar and conventional five-trocar laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). A retrospective cohort study of 100 patients undergoing LSG between 2022 and 2023 was conducted. Fort...

Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance-Induced Interfacial Dynamic Charge Circulation in Plasmonic Ohmic Heterojunctions for Optimizing Hydrogen Evolution Kinetics

Abstract It remains a formidable challenge to precisely regulate interfacial charge transfer kinetics via architecting high-efficiency heterointerfaces, thereby achieving optimized hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. Here, we report a strategy based on work function-media...

How the CJEU operationalises core EU values: A comparative coding analysis of five value databases

Background The values of the rule of law, equality, respect for human dignity, respect for human rights, democracy, and freedom, expressed in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, form the axiological foundation of the European Union’s legal order. The purpose of this resear...

Distributional burden of the English urology elective waiting list after the 2024 reporting reset

Headline referral to treatment metrics can conceal where waiting-list mass lies. This study quantified the distributional and operational burden of the English C_101 Urology Service waiting list in the post-reset series, defined as April 2024 onward after consultant-led community...

Who is at risk? Mental health and perfectionism-coping profiles in strength and conditioning coaches

Despite growing recognition of mental health in sport environments, research has focused primarily on athletes, with far less attention given to support staff such as strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches. To capture how perfectionism dimensions and coping strategies naturally...

Hedonic and eudaimonic pathways of self-forgiveness and suicide-related cognitions in trinidad and tobago: a quantile regression approach

Abstract Self-forgiveness is a multidimensional construct involving both hedonic processes, primarily related to fostering self-compassion and alleviating self-condemnation, and eudaimonic processes, focused on moral repair and value reorientation. While previous research has lin...

Beyond living donation: robot-assisted kidney transplantation using deceased-donor grafts—a scoping review of selection, ischaemia logistics, and allograft outcomes

Deceased-donor robot-assisted kidney transplantation (DD-RAKT) couples an unscheduled graft pathway with a resource-dependent operation. Living-donor-dominated reviews do not resolve DD-specific selection, ischaemia logistics, outcomes, or patient benefit. We aimed to map DD-RAKT...

Robot-assisted urologic surgery after kidney transplantation: indications, graft-protection strategies, and outcomes—a scoping review

Kidney transplantation relocates a vascularized graft and ureter into the iliac fossa, changing subsequent urologic surgery. Existing syntheses are procedure-specific. This scoping review mapped indications, graft-protection strategies, outcomes, and evidence gaps across robot-as...

Where Mechanism Meets Normativity: Predictive Processing in Search of Explanatory Constraints

Abstract Predictive Processing (PP) is commonly described as a mechanism sketch—an incomplete, primarily mechanistic representation of cognitive processes. While this characterization rightly emphasizes PP’s structural and causal explanatory aspects, I argue that it tends to over...

Beyond rewarming time: graft thermometry and cooling technologies in robot-assisted kidney transplantation—a scoping review

Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) converts vascular anastomosis time into an incompletely measured thermal exposure. We mapped how grafts are cooled and how temperature is measured, reported, and linked to outcomes during RAKT. Following a prespecified protocol and a d...

Large Herbivores as Overlooked Vectors of Fungal and Oomycete Pathogens

Dispersal mechanisms of phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes are critical components of forest disease dynamics. While wind and water are well-studied pathways, the role of large forest herbivores as passive vectors remains significantly overlooked. This study quantifies and compa...
