Dissemination of robotic surgical technology for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP)
has yielded advancements including the Retzius-sparing (RS) approach and the …

Background: The surgical techniques and devices used to perform radical cystectomy have
evolved significantly with the advent of laparoscopic and robotic methods. The da Vinci ® …

Radical shifts in reproductive systems result in radical changes in selective pressures acting
on reproductive traits. Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans constitutes one of rare model …

In species reproducing by selfing, the traits connected with outcrossing typically undergo
degeneration, a phenomenon called selfing syndrome. In Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, …

Selection acting on males can reduce mutation load of sexual relative to asexual populations,
thus mitigating the twofold cost of sex, provided that it seeks and destroys the same …

Introduction and Objective: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RS-RALP)
was first described in 2010. Since that time, a new single-port (SP) robotic platform …

According to theory, sexual selection in males may efficiently purge mutation load of sexual
populations, reducing or fully compensating ‘the cost of males’. For this to occur, mutations …

We have discovered a new case of gene conversion restoring ability of self-fertilization in
obligatory outcrossing Caenorhabditis elegans populations. The fog-2 (q71) mutation, used to …

Robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has become the primary surgical
modality in the treatment of prostate cancer. Most patients are discharged on postoperative day …

We developed a procedure for estimating competitive fitness by using Caenorhabditis elegans
as a model organism and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a tool. Competitive …
