The effect of resveratrol on the hippocampus in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) - dependent kindling model of epilepsy

Epilepsy is a long-term neurological condition marked by neuronal excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation of the nervous system. This study seeks to explore the neuroprotective and anti-seizure properties of Resveratrol (RSV) and the molecular processes involved in a p...

Calibration-Aware Patient-Level Prediction of Source-Defined MSIMUT Status in Colorectal Cancer from Whole-Slide Histopathology Images Using Foundation-Model Embeddings

Background/Objectives: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is clinically important in colorectal cancer, but definitive assessment requires molecular or immunohistochemical testing. This study developed a leakage-safe, calibration-aware patient-level framework for predicting a sourc...

Urethral Stricture with a Miniaturised (22 Fr) Versus Standard (26 Fr) Resectoscope Sheath During Thulium Fibre Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: A Prospective, Two-Centre Comparative Cohort Study

Objectives: We aimed to compare the observed rates of postoperative urethral stricture between patients undergoing thulium fibre laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) using a 22 Fr miniaturised instrument strategy and those treated using a standard 26 Fr strategy. Methods:...
