Phylogenomics and Infectious Potential of Avian Avulaviruses Species-Type 1 Isolated from Healthy Green-Winged Teal () from a Wetland Sanctuary of Indus River.

Given the importance of (AAvVs) in commercial poultry, continuous monitoring and surveillance in natural reservoirs (waterfowls) is imperative. Here, we report full genomic and biologic characterization of two virulent AAvVs isolated from apparently asymptomatic green-winged teal (). Genetic characterization (genome length, coding potential, and presence of typical cleave motif [RRQKR| F]) and bi...

[Robotics-mechanical bridge between imaging and patient].

BACKGROUND: There are still a high number of dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients. This situation has not changed much for decades, despite many innovations focusing on implant longevity and higher procedural precision. In this context, there is a growing discussion on possible systematic errors made in knee arthroplasty, especially regarding the alignment philosophy of the implants.
