Numerous advances have been made in the field of spine fusion, such as minimally invasive (MIS) or robotic-assisted spine surgery. However, it is unknown how these advances have impacted the cost of care.

Compare the economic outcomes of lumbar spine fusion between open, MIS, and robot-assisted surgery patients.

Finally, the film containing 4% ZIF-8 NPs (film 5) was chosen as the best sample due to it revealed appropriate mechanical properties, swelling, drug release and cell viability among all samples examined. This study reports on the exploitation of keratinous hydrolysate by keratinase enzymes to produce vitamin B-complex. Toward this end, keratinase…[Read more]

An online separation and preconcentration method, using an automated flow injection setup and solid phase extraction followed by ICP-MS/MS, was developed for the analysis of 90Sr, and U, Am and Pu isotopes in various liquid sample matrices. The radionuclide analytes were separated from interferences and complex matrices using DGA-branched resin…[Read more]

In a bottom-up approach, the dynamic behavior observed here for an elementary reaction is finally extended to more relevant redox reactions and other metal catalysts, which underlines the importance of chemical dynamics for the formation and constant re-generation of transient active sites during catalysis.Interface engineering is a critical…[Read more]

Double outlet left atrium (DOLA), an elusive malformation to prenatal diagnosis, is a rare congenital heart defect in which the left atrium (LA) drains into both the left and right ventricles. We hereby report on a prenatally diagnosed case of DOLA and present a review of the literature. We highlight key differentiating findings to aid in the…[Read more]

One of the main challenges in higher education is promoting students’ autonomous and self-regulated learning, which involves managing their own emotions and learning processes in different contexts and circumstances. Considering that online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic may be an opportunity for university students to take greater…[Read more]
