TL;DR: Sheng et al. as discussed by the authors demonstrated how the DaVinci Single Port Robot facilitates certain surgical approaches in performing partial nephrectomy on complex masses, including complex renal anatomy and/or posterior tumors.

TL;DR: Safety and feasibility of the first entire robot-assisted retroperitoneal nephroureterectomy (RRNU) with bladder cuff is demonstrated, which is easily reproducible, while surgical outcomes are similar to other established techniques.

TL;DR: It is shown that fasting leads to persistent defects in T cell activation and metabolism, as T cells from fasted animals had low glucose uptake and decreased ability to produce inflammatory cytokines, even when stimulated in nutrient-rich media.
