Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if histotripsy could effectively create large-scale liver ablations in pigs without causing significant thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
- During the experiment, histotripsy was used on six female pigs, resulting in well-defined ablation zones with complete tissue necrosis and minimal off-target effects.
- The findings suggest that using longer treatment times to cool the body wall allowed for effective transcostal hepatic ablation without severe injuries, indicating the approach's feasibility and effectiveness in a porcine model.

Pollinators are undergoing a global decline. Although vital to pollinator conservation and ecological research, species-level identification is expensive, time consuming, and requires specialized taxonomic training. However, deep learning and computer vision are providing ways to open this methodological bottleneck through automated identification from images.
