Bioring® gastric banding for obesity in a private South African hospital [PDF]

South African Journal of Surgery, 2020
Obesity is a significant health problem in South Africa. Surgery is the most effective means of durable weight loss for the morbidly obese. Of the surgical options, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is the most controversial. We aimed to assess a single surgeon's experience with a specific band.A retrospective observational study of a continuous ...

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Legionella spp. in Hotel Water-Supply Systems in Latvia

Microorganisms, 2023
Legionella is one of the most important waterborne pathogens that can lead to both outbreaks and sporadic cases. The majority of travel-associated Legionnaires’ disease (TALD) cases are contracted during hotel stays. The aim of this study was to evaluate

High-Fidelity Computational Microscopy via Feature-Domain Phase Retrieval. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
An innovative phase retrieval framework, termed FD‐PR, is uniquely established in the image's feature domain through the feature‐extracted, physical‐driven regression with interfaces for combining physics and image processing constraints. FD‐PR takes advantage of invariance components of an image against presences of model mismatch and uncertainty ...

Weak effects of local prey density and spatial overlap on predation intensity in a temperate marine ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Quantifying the impact of lower trophic level species abundance on higher trophic level predators (and vice versa) is critical for understanding marine ecosystem dynamics and for implementing ecosystem‐based management. Trophic ecosystem models generally predict a tight coupling between prey and fish predators, such that higher abundance of ...
