Purpose: To compare the efficacy of thin plate spline (TPS) and Gaussian interpolation methods in generating hill of visions (HOVs) for patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).
Methods: Visual field data from 78 eyes of 39 patients with XLRP were acquired using the Octopus 900 Pro. TPS, Gaussian, and Universal Kriging interpolation methods were implemented to generate HOVs.
Fluorogenic hybridization probes are essential tools in modern molecular biology techniques. They allow detection of specific nucleic acid molecules without the need to separate target-bound from unbound probes. To enable detection of targets at low concentration, fluorogenic probes should have high brightness.

In a randomized crossover trial, eight adults (age = 46 ± 14 years [mean ± SD], body mass index [BMI] = 27.2 ± 3.

- The study aimed to analyze how the gender of urologic surgeons affects their participation in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries (RALS) from 2012 to 2022 using surgical case logs.
- Results showed that women performed only 10.8% of all procedures and 9.02% of robotic cases, with the highest involvement in sacrocolpopexies.
- The findings suggest significant gender disparities in RALS participation, highlighting the need for equitable training opportunities and further research into factors like mentorship and practice settings.
