Robotic Spine Surgery: Systematic Review of Common Error Types and Best Practices.

Background And Objectives: Robotic systems have emerged as a significant advancement in the field of spine surgery. They offer improved accuracy in pedicle screw placement and reduce intraoperative complications, hospital length of stay, blood loss, and radiation exposure. As the use of robotics in spine surgery continues to grow, it becomes imperative to understand common errors and challenges associated with this new and promising technology.

Anatomical Factor for Formation of Peritonsillar Abscess in a Tertiary Care Centre.

Peritonsillar abscess is a polymicrobial infection with acute life threatening complications if not treated promptly. Primary objective is to find the anatomical factor for unilateral abscess formation and appropriate management protocols. Secondary objectives include the bacteriological study,antibiotic preference and comparison of crypt length of both tonsils post tonsillectomy to look for any significant association.

Experimental models for HIV latency and molecular tools for reservoir quantification-an update.

A major impediment for HIV cure is the ability of the virus to integrate its genome in the form of replication-competent proviral DNA into the cellular genome of the host and remain transcriptionally silent and hidden from the host's immune defense mechanisms in latent reservoir cells. These latent reservoirs are highly heterogeneous, long-lived cells that are capable of reactivating to restore the viremic stage in virally suppressed individuals upon treatment interruption, thus necessitating life-long antiretroviral treatment. Latency reversal has become one of the most explored therapeutic approaches for eliminating HIV reservoirs and effecting HIV cure.

Human lysyl-tRNA synthetase phosphorylation promotes HIV-1 proviral DNA transcription.

Human lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) was previously shown to be re-localized from its normal cytoplasmic location in a multi-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC) to the nucleus of HIV-1 infected cells. Nuclear localization depends on S207 phosphorylation but the nuclear function of pS207-LysRS in the HIV-1 lifecycle is unknown. Here, we show that HIV-1 replication was severely reduced in a S207A-LysRS knock-in cell line generated by CRISPR/Cas9; this effect was rescued by S207D-LysRS.

Liver fat analysis using optimized support vector machine with support vector regression.

Background: Fatty liver disease is a common condition caused by excess fat in the liver. It consists of two types: Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, also called alcoholic steatohepatitis, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). As per epidemiological studies, fatty liver encompasses 9% to 32% of the general population in India and affects overweight people.
