Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, Tarebia granifera in aquatic ecosystems of north‐eastern South Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
The study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.

Analysis of the Screw Accuracy and Postoperative Efficacy of Screw Placement in Single Position and Bipedal Position in Robot‐Assisted Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Preliminary Results of Mazor X Stealth Usage

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 401-411, February 2024.
The Mazor X robot assists in the placement of pedicle screws in a lateral position and displays the screw trajectory in real‐time on the display. Objective Traditional manual OLIF combined with pedicle screw implantation has many problems of manual percutaneous screw implantation, such as high difficulty of screw placement, many fluoroscopies, long ...

Has monitoring failed the Olifants River, Mpumalanga?

Water SA, 2009
Water quality monitoring in the Olifants River catchment, Mpumalanga, is evaluated using river water dissolved sulphate levels, one of the best indicators of pollution related to acid mine drainage. Assessment of long-term water quality records shows that monitoring has not been carried out systematically.
