Aim: To evaluate the technical aspects of the Da Vinci Xi Surgical System in minimally invasive extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF) surgery in a swine model.
Material And Methods: Endoscopic discectomy and XLIF cage insertion were performed using a robot-assisted system. The time taken and the pros and cons of each steps were recorded.
Results: A total of 4 ports were used for the surgical access; one for the camera, two for bipolar forcepses, and one auxiliary port for modified discectomy. Punch and curette were used for discectomy. The cage was inserted through the auxiliary port. Cage position was manipulated and checked by using the C-arm fluoroscopy. The operative time was 80 minutes. No complications or cage malposition was noted throughout the procedure.
Conclusion: This study shows that the robot-assisted XLIF approach is safe and feasible, and helps to protect the neurovascular structures. Moreover, a high image quality was also obtained during the procedure.

Food contamination with non-typhoidal (NTS) presents a significant public health risk, underscoring the critical need for rigorous food safety measures throughout the production, distribution, preparation, and consumption stages. Conventional diagnostic strategies are time-consuming and labor-intensive and are thus sub-optimal for throughput NTS detection. Bacteriophages (phages) are highly specialized bacterial viruses and exhibit extreme specificity for their hosts.

(1) Background: Fetal chromosomal examination is a critical component of modern prenatal testing. Traditionally, maternal serum biomarkers such as free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (Free β-HCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA) have been employed for screening, achieving a detection rate of approximately 90% for fetuses with Down syndrome, albeit with a false positive rate of 5%. While amniocentesis remains the gold standard for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome, its invasive nature carries a significant risk of complications, such as infection, preterm labor, or miscarriage, occurring at a rate of 7 per 1000 procedures.

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is one of the most common viral pathogens in domestic cats worldwide, which mainly causes upper respiratory tract infections in felines and seriously threatens the health of felines. Consequently, it is crucial to establish a rapid detection method to efficiently take control and prevent the spread of FCV. To construct the Cas13a-RAA-LFD reaction system, this study specifically designed recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) primers added with a T7 promoter and CRISPR RNA (crRNA), which were both based on the FCV relatively conserved sequence.

are famous for their ability to survive in extremely harsh environments, probably due to the unprecedented stability of their lipid membranes. Key features of archaeal lipids (bolalipids) that confer their stability are methyl side groups and cyclopentanes in the alkyl chains, as well as the specific shape of the molecule, which has two headgroups connected by two tails. However, the contribution of each structural parameter to membrane stability and the underlying physical mechanism remain unknown.
