Assessing the efficacy of dissection gestures in robotic surgery.

Our group previously defined a dissection gesture classification system that deconstructs robotic tissue dissection into its most elemental yet meaningful movements. The purpose of this study was to expand upon this framework by adding an assessment of gesture efficacy (ineffective, effective, or erroneous) and analyze dissection patterns between groups of surgeons of varying experience. We defined three possible gesture efficacies as ineffective (no meaningful effect on the tissue), effective (intended effect on the tissue), and erroneous (unintended disruption of the tissue).

Introduction And Objectives: Pediatric patients with limited lower extremity mobility may be at increased risk of developing nephrolithiasis due to bone mineral metabolic derangements. This study sought to assess whether nephrolithiasis management and related outcomes differ between ambulatory versus non-ambulatory pediatric patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of ambulatory and non-ambulatory pediatric patients with nephrolithiasis from 2010 to 2021 from a single tertiary care center.

Due to the microvascular effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), head and neck reconstructive surgeries utilizing free tissue transfers may be profoundly affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection in the immediate postoperative period. Our objective is to describe two adult patients who developed SARS-CoV-2 after undergoing relatively uncomplicated segmental mandibulectomies. In both cases, the patients were initially negative for SARS-CoV-2, underwent relatively uncomplicated segmental mandibulectomies with fibula free flap reconstructions, and were later discharged in stable conditions.

Amantadine-sensitive proton uptake by liposomes is currently the preferred method of demonstrating M2 functionality after reconstitution, to validate structural determination with techniques such as solid-state NMR. With strong driving forces (two decades each of both [K(+)] gradient-induced membrane potential and [H(+)] gradient), M2(22-62) showed a transport rate of 78 H(+)/tetramer-s (pH(o) 6.0, pH(i) 8.
