Background: Restoration of sagittal balance is a crucial consideration in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery and adverse postoperative outcomes are associated with inadequate restoration of sagittal alignment. However, there remains a shortage of substantial evidence regarding the effect of rod curvature on both sagittal spinopelvic radiographic parameters and clinical outcomes.
Method: A retrospective case-control study was conducted in this study. Patient demographics (age, gender, height, weight and BMI), surgical characteristics (number of fused levels, surgical time, blood loss and hospital stay) and radiographic parameters (lumbar lordosis [LL], sacral slope [SS], pelvic incidence [PI], pelvic tilt [PT], PI-LL, Cobb angle of fused segments [Cobb], rod curvature [RC], Posterior tangent angle of fused segments [PTA] and RC-PTA) were analyzed.
Results: Patients in the abnormal group had older mean age and suffered more blood loss than those in the normal group. In addition, RC and RC-PTA were significantly lower in the abnormal group compared to the normal group. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that lower age (OR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89-0.99; P = 0.0187), lower PTA (OR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.85-0.96; P = 0.0015) and higher RC (OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.20-1.51; P < 0.0001) were related to higher odds of better surgical outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting outcomes of surgery by RC classifier was 0.851 (0.769-0.932).
Conclusions: In patients who underwent PLIF surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis, those who had a satisfactory postoperative outcome tended to be younger, had lower blood loss, and higher values of RC and RC-PTA compared to those who had poor recovery and required revision surgery. Additionally, RC was found to be a reliable predictor of postoperative outcomes.

Purpose: The retention force of a realistic clasp is influenced by multiple, interrelated factors, which complicates the identification of the fundamental relationship between clasp geometry and retention force. While realistic clasps exhibit various shapes, they share basic geometric elements such as length, diameter, and curvature. Simpler geometries are often more conducive to identifying the underlying issues.

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied and applied in medical and pharmaceutical fields. When NPs enter the environment, they are covered with protein molecules to form the so-called "protein corona". Because NPs and proteins are comparable in size, the shape of NPs has a significant impact on NP-protein interactions.

Magnetic soft robots have recently become a promising technology that has been applied to minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery. This paper presents the analytical modeling of a novel multi-section magnetic soft robot (MS-MSR) with multi-curvature bending, which is maneuvered by an associated collaborative multirobot navigation system (CMNS) with magnetic actuation and ultrasound guidance targeted for intravascular intervention. The kinematic and dynamic analysis of the MS-MSR's telescopic motion is performed using the optimized Cosserat rod model by considering the effect of an external heterogeneous magnetic field, which is generated by a mobile magnetic actuation manipulator to adapt to complex steering scenarios.

The actin homolog MreB plays a pivotal role in maintaining the shape of many rod-shaped bacteria such as by directing cell-wall synthesis according to local curvature cues. However, the basis of MreB's curvature-dependent localization has remained elusive.
