Lunar Crater Detection Using YOLOv8 Deep Learning
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Yajnavalkya
Published: March 2024

In lunar exploration missions, the detection of lunar craters is essential for scientific inquiry, navigation, and terrain analysis. Conventional approaches for identifying craters depend on labor- and time-intensive manual inspection or semi-automated procedures. An effective and precise way to automate this procedure is through the use of deep learning algorithms. In this brief message, we introduce our implementation of the cutting-edge object detection method, YOLOv8, for the purpose of detecting lunar craters. The YOLOv8 architecture, which is well-known for its quickness and precision in object identification tasks, was employed. YOLO (You Only Look Once) predicts bounding boxes and class probabilities for several items in an image at once using a single neural network. We used a dataset of high-resolution lunar surface photos with crater annotations to train the YOLOv8 model.

The Kemerovo region is a region of extreme farming, and therefore requires the development of effective biological methods for improving productivity of cultivated plants adapted to these conditions. The purpose of the current work was to find plant growth-stimulating microorganisms associated with spring barley, as well as to form a microbial consortium on their basis and to conduct field trial. The objects of the study were spring barley seeds selected in the Kemerovo region, growth-stimulating microorganisms isolated from them, and consortia formed on their basis. During the study, there were isolated and tested 9 bacterial isolates for their ability to synthesize growth-stimulating substances (kinetin and indolyl-3-acetic acid). There were selected three strains with the best indicators SHv-2, SHv-5, SHv-6 for further studies. There has been found that the strains are capable of fixing nitrogen (SHv-2 – 800 µg/ml; SHv-5 – 210 µg/ml; SHv-6 – 840 µg/ml). There was also seen an ability to solubilize phosphates (SHv-2 – 2.53; SHv-5 – 1.25; SHv-6 – 3.33). The study of cultural, morphological and biochemical properties made it possible to identify such strains as SHv-2 – Pantoea allii; SHv-5 – Raoultella ornithinolytica; SHv-6 – Pantoea ananatis. Based on these microorganisms, there were made various variants of microbial consortia, which were also valued for their ability to produce growth-promoting substances and fix nitrogen. Consortium MC-7 composed with Pantoea allii, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Pantoea ananatis in a ratio of 1:1:3, respectively, showed maximum activity in terms of the studied parameters. Field trials of this consortium have shown that it successfully improves spring barley productivity. Despite abnormal weather conditions (lack of productive rains), there was an increase in the growth of crops treated by the consortium in comparison with control options. There have been established the most promising options for processing spring barley, options 3 and 4.

Published: March 2024

The current paper has presented the characteristics of the new pea variety ‘Antey’ of Altai breeding according to the most important economically valuable and morphological characteristics. Breeding work to develop a variety at the FSBSI “Federal Altai Research Center of Agrobiotechnologies” began in 2003 from the moment of hybridization of the original parental forms. The variety ‘Antey’ was developed by individual selection from a hybrid combination (Varyag x Novosibirets) x Batrak. The species of the variety was ecaducum. On average, over the years of testing (2020–2022), the variety ‘Antey’ reliably differed from the standard variety ‘Batrak’ in terms of a set of breeding valuable traits. This variety has the most important economic and biological indicators, such as high productivity (2.75 t/ha), resistance to lodging (5 points), low susceptibility to diseases (4.5 points), high protein percentage (23.5 %). Based on phenological observations of pea crops, there have been identified some morphological features of this variety. The variety ‘Antey’ is a middle maturing one. The vegetation period lasts 70...75 days. The variety is determinate, plant height is 65 cm. The leafless type and compressed internodes of the new pea variety increase the resistance of shoots to lodging. The plants bear white flowers of medium size. Beans are shelled, straight. The number of seeds in a bean is 4–7. Our research has shown that over the course of three years in the Competitive Variety Testing, according to the above-mentioned traits, the variety ‘Antey’ significantly exceeds those of the standard variety ‘Batrak’, which made it possible to send this pea variety to the State Variety Testing in 2022. The variety ‘Antey’ is going to be tested in region 10 (West Siberian).

Hybridization is the main method for developing new breeding material, obtaining genetic variability, and combining desired traits. The purpose of the current work is to characterize new promising varieties and hybrids of sweet and grass sorghum developed by the “ARC “Donskoy” because of hybridization on a sterile and fertile basis. The study was conducted on the breeding field of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”, Zernograd, Rostov region in 2021–2023. The zone is characterized by ordinary carbonate chernozem (3.2 % of humus, 10–40 mg/kg of phosphorus, 70–110 mg/kg of nitrogen, 300–500 mg per kg of soil of potassium). Meteorological conditions during the years of study (2021–2023) were contrasting: in 2022, HTC = 0.52 indicated average aridity and insufficient moisture with 0.81–0.82 in 2021 and 2023. The objects of the study were the varieties and hybrids of Sudan grass and sugar sorghum developed by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”. As a result of hybridization on a sterile basis, there was developed a number of sorghumSudan hybrids (‘Jetta x Kudesnitsa’, ‘APV-1115 x Topolina’, ‘APV-1115 x FP’, ‘Dobrynya’, ‘Gordey’) and sweet sorghum hybrids (‘APV-115 x Yuzhnoye’, ‘Jetta x Severanay Vishnya’, ‘Duet’), allowing to obtain green mass yields of 51–63 and 47–49 t/ha, which was higher than the standard by 5–17 t/ha (10.8–37.0 %) and 5–7 t/ha (11.9–16.7 %) respectively. Using intervarietal hybridization, almost all varieties developed by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” have been created. Among them there are the Sudan grass varieties ‘Alisa’, ‘Gratsiya’, ‘Anastasiya’, ‘Kudesnitsa’, ‘FP’ and the sweet sorghum varieties ‘Yuzhnoe’, ‘Feniks’, ‘Orfey’, ‘SK-20/334’, ‘Severanay Vishnya’ with a green mass yield of 40–48 and 34–38 t/ha, which is higher than that of standard varieties by 3–11 t/ha (8.1–29.7 %) and 7–11 t/ha (25.9–40.7 %), respectively. Thus, hybridization is the main method for developing new breeding material and combining the desired traits in new samples.

Work on developing a new pea variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ began in 2008 on the experimental fields of the Krasnoufimsky breeding center of the Ural Research Institute of Agriculture, a branch of the FSBSI UrFARC UrO RAS. The purpose of the current study was to develop a highly productive pea variety that is resistant to negative environmental conditions, resistant to diseases and pests, and has a non-lodging stem and non-shedding seeds. The greatest productivity excess of the variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ compared to the standard was observed in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022 (from 11 % to 62 %). On average, ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ gave a significant excess over the standard by 0.26 t/ha. The variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ requires weather conditions in the HTC range of 1.0–2.1 to obtain stable productivity. But regardless of environmental factors, both in favorable conditions and during periods of waterlogging or drought, the variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ exceeded the standard by 0.03–0.83 t/ha. The variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ ripened 1–3 days earlier than the standard, it has a larger number of beans and seeds per plant (by 0.2 and 1.5 pieces, respectively). The variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ has a high seed productivity per plant (2.3 g). The variety is affected with ascochyta blight and root rot at the standard level, its damage by the codling moth is less than the standard. The new variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ exceeded the standard variety Krasnoufimsky 11 and other varieties of local breeding according to adaptability. In 2023, it was decided to include the new pea variety ‘Krasnoufimsky 20’ in the State List of Breeding Achievements approved for use in the regions of Volga-Vyatka, North Caucasus, Ural, West Siberian.

Authors: Zasypkina I. M. , Dontsova А. А.
Published: March 2024

The development and wide distribution of new adaptive varieties in production is a promising and environmentally friendly way for the development of agriculture. A new, more modern, highly productive variety can ensure increased productivity, resistance of crops to stress factors, and promotes better use of natural and anthropogenic resources. The leading direction in breeding in the nearest future should be not the development of varieties in general, adapted to growing conditions, but the identification of varieties adapted to the stress-limiting environmental factors of a particular region, adaptive to the challenges of nature. In addition to the characteristics of the variety and environmental conditions, the forecrop also influences its productivity. Selection in some conditions may not reveal the potential of the genotype in others, which makes it important to obtain information on different growing environments of varieties at the early stages of breeding. The purpose of the current study was to determine the adaptive properties of promising winter barley varieties and lines according to various forecrops. The study was carried out from 2021 to 2023 to estimate the adaptability parameters of 20 winter barley varieties and lines developed by the FSBSI Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” for various forecrops (weedfree fallow, peas, sunflower, winter wheat). To determine the indicators of homeostaticity (Hom) and selection value (Sc), stress resistance (Ymin–Ymax) and genetic flexibility ((Ymax+Ymin)/2), the coefficient of responsiveness to favorable growing conditions (Kr) and the indicator of the stability level of the variety (VSLI), there have been applied the methods of V.V. Khangildin and N.A. Litvinenko (1981), A.A. Rosielle and J. Hamblina as presented by A.A. Goncharenko (2005), V.A. Zykin (2005), E.D. Nettevich (2001). According to all forecrops, there have been identified the varieties distinguished by high parameters of environmental adaptability and stability. Stress-resistant genotypes included the lines ‘Parallelum 2016’ and ‘Parallelum 2017’ (Ymin–Ymax = 1.2, 1.1, respectively), which were distinguished by a set of stability indicators and have been recommended for use in the breeding process as sources of high stress resistance, low yield variability, capable of minimizing negative impact of growing conditions. The variety ‘Step’ proved to be adaptable (regression coefficient bi = 1.5), genetically flexible ((Ymin–Ymax)/2 = 7.7), and highly responsive to growing conditions (Kr = 1.53). The dynamics of productivity corresponded to changes in growing conditions, and to maximize a productivity level, there has been recommended to cultivate it on intensive forecrops.

Published: March 2024

The current study was carried out on the experimental fields of SES, a branch of VNIIMK in 2021–2023. The purpose was to estimate spring rape varieties and hybrids of various ecological and geographical origins based on the main economically valuable traits, to identify the most productive and adapted to the conditions of Western Siberia. The objects of the study were 16 varieties and hybrids of domestic and foreign breeding. The variety ‘Yubileiny’ and the hybrid ‘Ozorno’ were used as a standard. There was established that environmental testing of spring rape varieties and hybrids made it possible to identify significant differences in the main economically valuable traits. In the conditions of Western Siberia, among the rape varieties, the maximum productivity over three years of study was demonstrated by the varieties ‘Yarky’ (2.50 t/ha), ‘Sibiryak 60’ (2.43 t/ha) and ‘55region’ (2.42 t/ha), and among the hybrids ‘PR46X75’ (2.68 t/ha) and ‘Salsa KL’ (2.57 t/ha) were the best according to this indicator. The highest seed productivity was obtained in 2021 and ranged from 2.51 to 3.29 t/ha for varieties and from 3.02 to 3.52 t/ha for hybrids. High oil content in seeds was noted under the conditions of 2022 in such varieties as ‘Granit’, ‘55region’, ‘Yarkiy’, ‘Amulet’, ‘Geros’ and amounted to 51.2–52.6 %. With a short vegetation period of up to 85 days, the varieties ‘Amulet’, ‘Ruyan’, ‘Erebus’ and ‘Forpost KL’ were identified as early maturing varieties. Middle maturing varieties with a vegetation period of 88–90 days included ‘Granit’, ‘Yarkiy’, ‘Prometey’ and ‘Geros’. The plant height varied from 80 to 101 cm for hybrids and from 88 to 120 cm for rape varieties. The trait ‘1000-seed weight’ varied from 3.6 to 4.2 g. The varieties ‘55region’, ‘Sibiryak 60’, ‘Yarkiy’, ‘Amulet’, ‘Prometey’ and ‘Forpost KL’ were of greatest interest for practical breeding according to the complex of economically valuable traits in the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of the current study was to identify the optimized seeding rate of the spring barley variety ‘Lyuboyar’ to obtain an economically profitable yield in the conditions of the non-blackearth part of the Central region of the Russian Federation on dark gray forest soils of a mean fertility level. The trials were carried out in the conditions of the Ryazan region in the selection crop rotation when sown in “black” fallow in 2022–2023. The trial scheme included the study of 6 options: 3.0; 3.5; 4.0; 4.5; 5.0 and 5.5 million germinating seeds per 1 hectare. There has been established that the optimal option in terms of field germination and preservation of plants for harvesting is the norm of 4.0 million per 1 ha with 89.5 % and 77.5 %, respectively. The number of survived plants before harvesting, the number of productive stems, plant height, head length, number of grains per head and grain weight per head have a significant contribution to crop productivity (r = +0.727...+0.955). The maximum number of stems (924 pcs/m2) and head length (9.2 cm) was demonstrated by the variant with a seeding rate of 4.5 million, height (83 cm) with 5.0 million, productive tillering (3.1) with 5.0–5.5 million, number of grains per head (23.9 pcs.) with 4.0 million, weight of grain per head (1.2 g) with 4.0–4.5 million, 1000-grain weight (47.5 g) with 3.0 million seeds per hectare. It was found that with an increase in the seeding rate, the number of plants increases before harvesting, the number of productive stems, plant height, tillering coefficient and head length increase with r = +0.543...+0.889, but there has been a decrease in indicators such as head weight (r = -0.355) and, especially, 1000-grain weight (r = -0.752). The largest productivity of 7.05 t/ha was obtained with a seeding rate of 4.0 million seeds per hectare, in the second place there was 6.90 t/ha with a rate of 4.5 million seeds per ha. At seeding rates of 4.0–4.5 million germ. seeds per 1 ha, the highest profitability was 67.2–60.2 %.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of the current study was to establish the effect of sowing rates of spring durum wheat on its productivity. There has been established that reducing seed sowing rates from 7 to 3 million germinated seeds per 1 ha allows reducing spring durum wheat vegetation period by 6–7 days. There has been identified maximum density of productive stems of the two varieties at a seeding rate of 6 and 7 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The highest productive tillering capacity for two spring durum wheat varieties was obtained at the variant with a norm of 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. Thus, according to the experimental variants, the average plant height of the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Niva’ was 70.6 cm in the control variant and 81.8 cm at a sowing rate of 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Zolotistaya’ has produced the tallest plants of 79.5 cm, with a seeding rate of 4 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. There has been established that the length of a head also increases with a seeding rate decrease; for example, in the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Niva’, the maximum indicators of the main head were formed at a seeding rate of 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha, where the maximum length of the main head was 6.7 cm, the number of grains was 27.5 pieces with a weight of 1.47 g. For the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Zolotistaya’, the maximum head length was 5.6 cm, and the number of grains was 24 pieces at a rate of 4 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The fullest grain of the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Niva’ with 53.4 g of ‘1000-grain weight’ was formed at a seeding rate of 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha; the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Zolotistaya’ was 50.4g with a norm of 6 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The maximum productivity of the variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Niva’ was 3.54 t/ha with a seeding rate of 5 million germinated seeds per 1 ha. The variety ‘Bezenchukskaya Zolotistaya’ formed a yield of 3.23 t/ha with a seeding rate of 6 million germinated seeds per 1 ha.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural disorder of the vertebrae characterized by vertebral curvature exceeding 10°, commonly identified in children aged 10-18 years. Several contributing factors for AIS include genetic factors, abnormalities in connective tissue and skeletal muscles, biomechanical factors, and the use of school bags with associated weight. The primary issue identified from the preliminary study is the relatively high AIS rate, reaching 10.2%, with no previous preventive education programs implemented for students. The targeted participants for this program are students from Muhammadiyah Middle School 5 and Muhammadiyah Middle School 7 in Surakarta. The team conducted AIS prevention health education sessions in April-May 2023 for students aged 12-15 years. The educational activities involved the use of informative materials such as pocket books and videos, covering topics like the definition of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, physical examination methods for AIS, and preventive measures through posture correction exercises and the proper use of school bags.Results from the influence test, employing the Paired Sample T-Test, indicate a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.023. This implies a significant difference in the average knowledge level before and after receiving education on AIS prevention.

The Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Provision Program (PAMSIMAS) serves as a community-driven platform for rural drinking water and sanitation development. In the Banjar Regency area, PAMSIMAS management faces challenges, including a limited number of available water reservoirs and a slow water-filling process into these reservoirs. Additionally, there is a shortage of qualified human resources for community training. To address these issues, activities were conducted to enhance community skills in maintaining PASMIMAS equipment. Collaboration took place with work units in the Banjar Regency government, involving 30 village officials in the West Martapura District. The method employed included lectures and question-and-answer sessions. The analysis utilized to evaluate the training's success involved pre-test and post-test assessments. The results indicated an increase in participants' knowledge, with a pre-test average of 40.66 and a post-test average of 70.50, yielding a p-value of > 0.00 (paired t-test). In conclusion, this training effectively enhanced PAMSIMAS knowledge among village officials.

Several cases of violence against children are increasingly mushrooming. This phenomenon is suspected to be a failure for parents to regulate the emotions they feel, especially negative emotions that often appear in everyday life. This community service is carried out with the aim of providing understanding to parents regarding the importance of regulating the emotions they feel through reflective journals. This activity is a psychoeducational seminar and reflective journal training as a solution to regulate emotions appropriately. This community service was carried out for parents at KB/TK Alam Muhammadiyah Surya Mentari Surakarta. The result of this service activity is that parents realize that anger is a natural reaction from the body that does not need to be avoided and must be transformed into appropriate behavior. Apart from that, indirectly reflective journals also become a conversation partner for parents in dealing with various emotions felt in everyday life. This community service has an impact on participants, namely parents, in terms of increasing knowledge about emotions and how to regulate them appropriately.

OBJECTIVE

The prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) correlates with residual tumor volume after surgery. In fluorescence-guided surgery, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been used to maximize resection while avoiding neurological morbidity. However, not all tumor cells, particularly glioma stem cells (GSCs), display 5-ALA–mediated protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence (5-ALA fluorescence). The authors searched for repositioned drugs that affect mitochondrial functions and energy metabolism, identifying berberine (BBR) as a potential enhancer of 5-ALA fluorescence. In this study, they investigated whether BBR can enhance 5-ALA fluorescence in GSCs and whether BBR can be applied to clinical practice as a 5-ALA fluorescence enhancer.

METHODS

The effects of BBR on 5-ALA fluorescence in glioma and GSCs were evaluated by flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting [FACS]) analysis. As 5-ALA is metabolized for heme synthesis, the effects of BBR on mRNA expressions of 7 enzymes in the heme-synthesis pathway were analyzed. Enzymes showing significantly higher expression than control in all cells were identified and protein analysis was performed. To examine clinical availability, the detectability and cytotoxicity of BBR in tumor-transplanted mice were analyzed.

RESULTS

Fluorescence microscopy revealed much more intense 5-ALA fluorescence in both GSCs and non-stem cells with 5-ALA and BBR than with 5-ALA alone. FACS showed that BBR greatly enhanced 5-ALA fluorescence compared with 5-ALA alone, and enhancement was much higher for GSCs than for glioma cells. Among the 7 enzymes examined, BBR upregulated mRNA expressions of ALA synthetase 1 (ALAS1) more highly in all cells, and activated ALAS1 through deregulating ALAS1 activity inhibited by the negative feedback of heme. An in vivo study showed that 5-ALA fluorescence with 5-ALA and BBR was significantly stronger than with 5-ALA alone, and the sensitivity and specificity of BBR-enhanced fluorescence were both 100%. In addition, BBR did not show any cytotoxicity for normal brain tissue surrounding the tumor mass.

CONCLUSIONS

BBR enhanced 5-ALA–mediated PpIX fluorescence by upregulating and activating ALAS1 through deregulation of negative feedback inhibition by heme. BBR is a clinically used drug with no side effects. BBR is expected to significantly augment fluorescence-guided surgery and photodynamic therapy.

OBJECTIVE

Treatment of intracranial aneurysms by flow diversion is safe and effective and is increasingly popular. However, the correct treatment paradigm for aneurysms incompletely treated by initial placement of a flow diverter has not been established, nor have the subsequent natural history and occlusion rates of such aneurysms. The authors sought to outline the natural history of such aneurysms, which to date have been considered partially treated.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed consecutive cases from 6 high-volume neurointerventional services, including all cases in which the first follow-up imaging after placement of a flow diverter showed incomplete occlusion of the aneurysm, and for which subsequent clinical and/or radiological follow-up was available. All included patients were treated with the Pipeline Flex embolization device or the Pipeline Flex embolization device with Shield Technology. Subsequent radiographic and clinical outcome data were collected and analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival function.

RESULTS

A total of 263 patients with persistently patent aneurysms on first follow-up imaging after flow diversion were identified. Of these, 204 had clinical follow-up and 152 had additional imaging follow-up. Of this final cohort, 148 aneurysms were unruptured, and 4 were ruptured. The average aneurysm size by maximum dimension was 10.8 mm. The average recorded follow-up was 27.8 months in the cohort, with some patients followed for as long as 9 years from treatment. Over the course of 403 person-years of follow-up, no delayed aneurysm ruptures were recorded. Both with and without retreatment, aneurysms showed a trend toward progressive occlusion over time. Complications related to device placement were low.

CONCLUSIONS

Aneurysms that have been incompletely treated by flow diversion have a benign natural history with progression toward occlusion over time, with or without retreatment.
Incidence of and risk factors for chronic subdural hematoma after endoscopic endonasal surgery: quantitative analysis of pneumocephalus
Authors: Umekawa Motoyuki , Hasegawa Hirotaka , Shinya Yuki , Shin Masahiro , Saito Nobuhito

OBJECTIVE

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is known to occur after endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES); however, the detailed clinical picture remains unclear. In this study, the authors aimed to examine the incidence of and risk factors for post-EES CSDH, with a focus on the quantitative evaluation of postoperative pneumocephalus.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively collected data on consecutive patients who, between November 2016 and December 2022, had undergone EES during which intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage occurred. Using CT images obtained immediately after surgery (CT0), the authors measured the extent of pneumocephalus in detail. The locations of pneumocephalus were divided into two groups: remote and local. Remote pneumocephalus was further subdivided into convexity and ventricular. The incidence of post-EES CSDH was calculated, and its risk factors were analyzed.

RESULTS

Among the 159 EES patients included in the study, Esposito grade 1, 2, and 3 intraoperative CSF leakage was confirmed in 22 (14%), 27 (17%), and 110 (69%) patients, respectively. CSDH occurred in 6 patients (3.8%). One patient (0.6%) required unilateral burr hole surgery, whereas the hematomas spontaneously disappeared in the others. All CSDHs occurred in patients with Esposito grade 3 CSF leakage and convexity pneumocephalus on CT0. In the multivariate analysis of 149 sides with convexity pneumocephalus on CT0, the product of the diameter and the thickness of convexity pneumocephalus on CT0 was significantly associated with subsequent CSDH (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06–1.38, p = 0.004). Using a cutoff value of 10 cm2, CSDH development could be predicted with a sensitivity of 0.82 and specificity of 0.74.

CONCLUSIONS

The incidence of post-EES CSDH is acceptably low, and surgery is rarely required. Patients with extensive convexity pneumocephalus on immediate postoperative CT are prone to develop CSDH and thus should be carefully monitored.
The role of medical illustration in the evolution of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery
Authors: Yu Sophie E. , Westwood William B. , Naples James G.
Published: March 2024

Medical illustration played a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in the evolution of pituitary surgery. From the late 1800s to the present, many preeminent surgeons, in partnership with their surgical illustrator collaborators, developed and then shifted the paradigm of pituitary surgery, from an open procedure with high mortality and morbidity, to an endonasal approach with high success rates that is widely utilized today. This work aims to highlight the role of surgical illustrators as partners to their physician colleagues, creating artistically accessible road maps that shaped the development of the transsphenoidal approach.
Neglected tracts of the brainstem: transverse peduncular tract of Gudden and taenia pontis

OBJECTIVE

The anatomy and function of the brainstem have fascinated scientists for centuries; however, the brainstem remains one of the least studied regions of the human brain. As the authors delved into studying this structure, they observed a growing tendency to forget or neglect previously identified structures. The aim of this study was to describe two such structures: the transverse peduncular tract, also known as the Gudden tract, and the taenia pontis. The authors analyzed the potential effects of neglecting these structures during brainstem surgery and the implications for clinical practice.

METHODS

After removal of the arachnoid and vascular structures, 20 human brainstem specimens were frozen and stored at −16°C for 2 weeks, according to the method described by Klingler. The specimens were then thawed and dissected with microsurgical techniques. The results of microsurgical fiber dissection at each step were photographed.

RESULTS

This study revealed two previously neglected or forgotten structures within the brainstem. The first is the transverse peduncular tract of Gudden, which arises from the brachium of the superior colliculus. This tract follows an arcuate course along the lateral and ventral surfaces of the midbrain, perpendicular to the cerebral peduncle, and terminates in the nuclei of the transverse peduncular tract within the interpeduncular fossa. The second structure is the taenia pontis, which originates contralaterally in the interpeduncular fossa. It becomes visible at the level of the pontomesencephalic sulcus and extends to the base of the lateral mesencephalic sulcus, where it divides into several thin bundles. Along the interpeduncular sulcus, between the superior and middle cerebellar peduncles, it reaches the parabrachial recess and enters the cerebellum.

CONCLUSIONS

Recently, with increasing understanding and expertise in brainstem research, surgical approaches to this area have become more common, emphasizing the importance of a detailed knowledge of the brainstem. The two structures mentioned in this paper are described in history books and were widely studied in the 19th century but have not been mentioned in modern literature. The authors propose that a deeper understanding of these structures may prove valuable in neurosurgical practice and help reduce patient comorbidity.
