Cost-effectiveness analysis of extended endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (EELF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF): a prospective observational study by Jun-Hoe Kim, Hangeul Park, Chang-Hyun Lee, Chi Heon Kim

“…While conventional foraminal decompression poses a risk of segmental instability, the endoscopic approach (extended endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy, EELF) resects only the ventral part of the facet joint with a horizontal surgical trajectory. A prospective observational study was performed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of EELF versus TLIF. …”

Research on Control Mechanism of Surrounding Rock of Deep Gob-Side Entry Retaining by Jianxiong Liu, Jingke Wu, Yun Dong, Yanyan Gao, Jihua Zhang, Weizhong He, Jiarui Chen

“…The cross-section shape of the roadway after deformation and failure of the surrounding rock is obviously asymmetric in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Since the original system supporting the surrounding rock is unable to completely bear the load, each part of the supporting system is destroyed one after the other. …”

Quorum sensing-mediated inter-specific conidial anastomosis tube fusion between Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. siamense by Nikita Mehta, Abhishek Baghela

“…Abstract Many plant pathogenic filamentous fungi undergo fusion of conidia through conidial anastomosis tubes (CATs), which is believed to facilitate horizontal gene transfer between species. We discovered a remarkable inter-specific CAT fusion between two important plant fungal pathogens Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. siamense. …”

In vivo interspecies dissemination of IncM2-type blaNDM-1 carrying plasmid by Mor N. Lurie-Weinberger, Darya Bychenko-Banyas, Meirav Mor, Sivan Laviad-Shitrit, Ella Kaplan, Nadya Rakovitsky, Alona Keren-Paz, Chaim Ben-Zvi, Yehuda Carmeli

“…Our results underline the risk of interspecies horizontal plasmid dissemination. Such events may cause the emergence of high-risk clones, as well as lead to under-recognized multi-species outbreaks.IMPORTANCEConjugative, carbapenemase-carrying multidrug-resistant plasmids that can move between species of clinically relevant Enterobacterales pose a great risk to patients’ health, especially when they spread inside a medical institution. …”
