Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the learning curve for performing lumbar discectomy using the unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) technique on fresh frozen cadavers, focusing on three inexperienced spine surgeons.
- Each surgeon operated on 40 lumbar spine segments while recording the time taken for each procedure, with data analyzed using linear regression and CUSUM methods.
- Results showed that the surgeons needed to complete 16-20 segments to effectively learn the procedure, and using fresh frozen cadavers proved to be a valuable training method for enhancing surgical skills while ensuring patient safety.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how compressed nitrogen gas interacts with a complex fluid, magnesium lithium phyllosilicate (MLPS), through phenomena known as viscous fingering (VF) and elastic fracture (EFr) in a controlled environment designed as a Hele-Shaw cell.
- Viscous fingering primarily results in finger-like structures where gas invasion affects a confined region, with a notable velocity distribution featuring a larger component parallel to the growth direction; conversely, elastic fracture entails a larger disturbed area with a more complex velocity distribution around the bubble.
- The research emphasizes the differences in the velocity fields of VF and EFr, proposing quantitative indicators to measure characteristics such as the affected area ratio and velocity
The quest to understand the molecular mechanisms of tumour metastasis and identify pivotal biomarkers for cancer therapy is increasing in importance. Single-omics analyses, constrained by their focus on a single biological layer, cannot fully elucidate the complexities of tumour molecular profiles and can thus overlook crucial molecular targets. In response to this limitation, we developed a multiobjective recommendation system (RJH-Metastasis 1.

- The study evaluated a digital health technology-based dietary intervention for older adults with type 2 diabetes, focusing on its effectiveness in improving glycemic control and self-management skills.
- Conducted as a double-arm randomized controlled trial, 124 participants were divided into an intervention group (64) receiving the digital dietary guidance and a control group (60) receiving standard dietary management.
- Results after 3 months showed significant improvements in the intervention group, including lower HbA1c levels and better self-management and self-efficacy scores, suggesting the digital intervention is beneficial for older adults with diabetes.
