Are differences in Retinal Structure and Function between Aging Male and Female Sprague-Dawley Rats Strongly Influenced by the Estrus Cycle?
Our results showed that biological sex and age can influence the retinal function and structure of albino SD rats. Furthermore, we showed that cycled female rats have better retinal function compared to the menopausal female rats suggesting a beneficial effect of the estrus cycle on the retinal function.
Pulmonary vessel injury, longer operation times, and greater blood loss have been frequently observed with VATS lobectomy. Proficiency is required to perform VATS lobectomy, and the procedure should be performed by a well-trained surgeon as indicated by the results of this study.
