Using sp. during bioleaching assays is a well-known biological approach to solubilizing metals within sewage sludge. However, sludge dewatering has also been reported as a secondary treatment benefit. Based on a literature review, the present work provides perspectives regarding the enhancement of bioleaching outcomes on a laboratory scale by establishing optimal operational parameters. Data from different studies suggest that greater bioleaching efficiency may be achieved using a 10% (/) mixed inoculum of  and  in a ratio of 4:1, supplemented with ferrous sulfate (FeSO) and elemental sulfur (S), and an initial system pH near 6.0. However, operational parameters must be established according to the type of sludge being treated due to differences in their compositions. Bioleaching duration is also an aspect that must be considered since treatments conducted for longer than 48 h increased the concentration of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS), a characteristic associated with reducing dewaterability performance.

TiRobot-assisted versus freehand femoral neck system placement in the treatment of femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

J Robot Surg

January 2025

The Third Ward of Orthopaedic Department, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, 804 Shengli South Street, Hui Autonomous Region, Yinchuan, Ningxia, 750004, People's Republic of China.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted treatment for femoral neck fractures, in comparison to traditional freehand treatment methods. Throughout the research process, we conducted an extensive literature search across numerous databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), CQVIP, and Wanfang. Based on the literature screening criteria, we selected six studies, encompassing 358 cases of femoral neck fracture patients, for this meta-analysis.

Purpose: Current technologies to define the zone of acute peripheral nerve injury intraoperatively are limited by surgical experience, time, cumbersome electrodiagnostic equipment, and interpreter reliability. In this pilot study, we evaluated a real-time, label-free optical technique for intraoperative nerve injury imaging. We hypothesize that fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) will detect a difference between the time-resolved fluorescence signatures for acute crush injuries versus uninjured segments of peripheral nerves in sheep.

January 2025

Department of Oral Implantology, The Affiliated Stomatology Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine, Jiangxi Province Clinical Research Center for Oral Disease, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

BACKGROUND This study included 32 patients with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects and aimed to compare outcomes from guided bone regeneration with a gelatin/polylactic acid (GT/PLA) barrier membrane and a Guidor® bioresorbable matrix barrier dental membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 32 participants were recruited in the clinical study, with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects, requiring guided bone regeneration (32 missing teeth in total). They were randomly divided into the GT/PLA membrane group (experimental) and Guidor® membrane group (control) by the envelope method (n=16).
