Background: Tissue handling is one of the pivotal parts of surgical procedures. We aimed to elucidate the characteristics of experts' left-hand during laparoscopic tissue dissection.
Methods: Participants performed tissue dissection around the porcine aorta.
We report the formation of polariton condensates from strongly coupled molecules to bound states in the continuum with quadrupolar character in a metasurface of silicon nanoparticles. Our experiments demonstrate a strong dependence of the condensation threshold on the excitation spot size. The condensation threshold decreases as the excitation spot size increases, achieving thresholds below 3 μm cm for spot sizes of around 1 mm and condensate lifetimes exceeding 20 ps.

- Most follicular lymphomas (FLs) are typically slow-progressing with good outcomes, but some patients face disease worsening within 24 months (POD24), leading to poorer results.
- This study aimed to identify predictive risk factors for POD24 and analyze the microenvironment characteristics in FL patients experiencing POD24.
- The research found that higher Ki-67 expression significantly correlates with POD24 events, and those patients also showed a decrease in certain immune cells, suggesting implications for targeted treatment approaches.
Background: Lung transplantation is a vital option for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, it faces a significant challenge due to the shortage of compatible donors, which particularly affects individuals with small chest cavities and pediatric patients. The novel approach of cadaveric lobar lung transplantation is a promising solution to alleviate the donor shortage crisis.
