Article Synopsis
  • The integration of AI into microscopy greatly improves image acquisition and analysis, particularly in super-resolution microscopy.
  • The development of AI-assisted microscopy is hampered by the lack of extensive biological datasets and challenges in standardizing methods across varied samples.
  • The pySTED platform provides a realistic simulation environment that aids in training AI models and optimizing microscopy strategies, demonstrating successful application on actual systems without needing extensive adjustments.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a modified technique of posterior reconstruction by iliopectineal ligament suspension during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) on recovery of early continence.

Methods: A prospective, single surgeon, single centre, randomised controlled trial was performed from August 2018 to March 2020 with 171 patients (92 control vs 79 experimental). The posterior reconstruction was done using a standard technique in the control group and was modified for the experimental group by incorporating not only the "Rocco" stitch between Denonvilliers' fascia and the rhabdosphincter but also the iliopectineal ligaments bilaterally to further improve posterior support with this suspensory 'hammock'.

Introduction: Breakages and repairs related to flexible digital reusable ureteroscopes (flURS) are expensive. Thus, we aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of single-use flexible digital ureteroscopes ureteroscopes (SUFDU).

Methods: We conducted a literature review on MEDLINE and EMBASE until September 19, 2018.

In budding yeast, fermentation is the most important pathway for energy production. Under low-glucose conditions, ethanol is used for synthesis of this sugar requiring a shift to respiration. This process is controlled by the transcriptional regulators Cat8, Sip4, Rds2 and Ert1.
