Limitations of current robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion systems.

Objective: As robot systems for spine surgery have been developed, they have demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in screw placement without sacrificing safety or surgical efficiency. These robotic systems offer preoperative planning and real-time feedback to enhance surgical precision and mitigate human error. Nevertheless, limitations to their optimal performance remain.

Molecular Biomarkers in Ocular Graft-versus-Host Disease: A Systematic Review.

Ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) affects ~50% of post-stem cell transplant patients and is the only form of GVHD diagnosed without a biopsy. As it must be distinguished from other dry eye diseases, there is a need to identify oGVHD biomarkers to improve diagnosis and treatment. We conducted a systematic review of 19 scholarly articles published from 2018 to 2023 including articles focused on adult patients diagnosed with oGVHD following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant and used biomarkers as the outcome measure.
