Teleproctoring offers a remote alternative to traditional surgical mentoring, addressing logistical barriers in robotic surgery education. We conducted a prospective trial to assess the feasibility and trainee perception of teleproctoring using the Proximie platform. Eighteen surgeons with limited robotic experience performed a standardized enterotomy closure on synthetic bowel models using the da Vinci Si system, while receiving real-time remote guidance from an expert located 2570 km away.

Background & Aims: Pregnancy can be a complex and risk-filled event for women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). High-quality studies in this population are lacking, with limited data on medications approved to treat IBD during pregnancy. For patients, limited knowledge surrounding pregnancy impacts pregnancy rates, medication adherence, and outcomes.

Objectives: Establishing paediatric DRLs is challenging due to sparse data availability. The objective was to assess paediatric fluoroscopic dose levels in Dutch clinical practice, as current diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) need updating following the European Guidelines on DRLs for Paediatric Imaging (PiDRL).
Material And Methods: Air Kerma-area Product (KAP) values were retrospectively collected from paediatric patients (0-18 years) who underwent fluoroscopic procedures in nine Dutch hospitals between 01-01-2017 and 01-06-2021.

Importance: Underrepresented in medicine (URiM) students face significant barriers in medical education, including limited access to mentorship and professional networks. Mentorship is a critical factor in improving academic outcomes, career satisfaction, and overall success, highlighting the need for targeted support programs that broaden access in medical training.
Objective: To develop and evaluate a longitudinal four-year faculty-student dyad mentorship program to provide mentorship for URiM students, focusing on enhancing academic integration, professional networking, and career development.

Phthalates (PEs) are widespread in environment, and human beings are unavoidably exposing to the mixture of PEs, which may induce male reproductive health risks. In order to investigate the mechanism of male reproductive injuries caused by the mixture of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and butyl benzyl phthalate (MPEs), male rats were orally exposed to 16 mg/kg/d MPEs (L-MPEs) and 450 mg/kg/d MPEs (H-MPEs) for 90 days, and the results showed that MPEs decreased the weights of testes, epididymis and periepididymis fat, decreased serum levels of male hormones, increased abnormal sperm rate, and caused testicular histopathological damages, such as atrophy and cavitation of seminiferous tubules, spermatids exfoliation, Leydig cells hyperplasia and accumulation of lipid droplets in the testicular interstitium. Testicular transcriptomic analysis identified 100 differently expressed genes (DEGs) in L-MPEs group and 10,880 DEGs in H-MPEs group, and these DEGs mainly involved in signaling pathways of focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt, AGE-RAGE, axon guidance, PPAR, MAPK and etc.
