Significance Scholars debate whether the first major phase of compilation biblical texts took place before or after destruction Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Proliferation literacy is considered a precondition for creation such texts. Ancient inscriptions provide important evidence proliferation literacy. This paper focuses on 16 ink found desert fortress Arad, written ca . 600 By using novel image processing and machine learning algorithms we deduce presence at least six authors this corpus....

Study Design: A prospective, case-based, observational study. Objectives: To investigate how microscope-based augmented reality (AR) support can be utilized in various types of spine surgery. Methods: In 42 spinal procedures (12 intra- and 8 extradural tumors, 7 other intradural lesions, 11 degenerative cases, 2 infections, deformities) AR was implemented using operating microscope head-up displays (HUDs). Intraoperative low-dose computed tomography used for automatic registration. Nonlinear...

Low registration errors are an important prerequisite for reliable navigation, independent of its use in cranial or spinal surgery. Regardless whether navigation is used trajectory alignment biopsy implant procedures, sophisticated augmented reality applications, all depend on a correct patient space and image space. In contrast to fiducial, landmark, surface matching-based registration, the application intraoperative imaging allows user-independent automatic which less error prone. The...

The aim of this study was to report on the clinical experience with microscope-based augmented reality (AR) in transsphenoidal surgery compared classical approach. AR support established using head-up displays operating microscope, navigation based fiducial-/surface- or automatic intraoperative computed tomography (iCT)-based registration. In a consecutive single surgeon series 165 procedures, 81 patients underwent without and 84 support. integrated straightforwardly within workflow....

Our study presents a single center experience in resection of intradural spinal tumors either with or without using intraoperative CT (iCT)-based registration and microscope-based augmented reality (AR). Microscope-based AR was recently described for improved orientation the operative field spine surgery, superimposed images segmented structures interest two- (2D) three-dimensional (3D) mode. All patients who underwent surgery at our department were retrospectively included study. Clinical...

Despite its broad use in cranial and spinal surgery, navigation support microscope-based augmented reality (AR) have not yet found their way into posterior fossa surgery the sitting position. While this position offers surgical benefits, accuracy thereof of itself seems limited. Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) can be applied at any time during delivering real-time images that used for verification updates. Within study, applicability was assessed. Data from 15 patients with lesions within...

Two seals in the Israel Antiquities Authority collections, which were considered unreadable, found to be inscribed ancient Hebrew script. One was discovered excavations directed by Mackenzie at Bet Shemesh, other is of unknown provenance. Both are a popular design, bearing names their owner and his father, probably dating eighth century BCE.

INTRODUCTION: Pedicle-screw (PS)-instrumentation is a common procedure for the management of degenerative, infectious, oncological spine-diseases with instability and spine-fractures. Free-hand fluoroscopy-guided PS-placement are traditional methods, whereas navigation-guided PS-placement, either surface-based matching or automatic registration intraoperative imaging, additionally robotic-guided have emerged in past two decades. Navigation- surgery shows increased PS-accuracy-placement....

The paper presents a sherd with the remnant of an inscription, unearthed at Megiddo in 2014 excavation season level affiliated either transition from Stratum VB to VA-IVB, or VA-IVB. This is earliest alphabetic text site. continuation Proto-Canaanite into ninth century then addressed, and other questions concerning development West Semitic alphabet tenth-ninth centuries.

: Microsurgical resection with intraoperative neuromonitoring is the gold standard for acoustic neurinomas (ANs) which are classified as T3 or T4 tumors according to Hannover Classification. Microscope-based augmented reality (AR) can be beneficial in cerebellopontine angle and lateral skull base surgery, since these small areas packed anatomical structures use of this technology enables automatic 3D building a model without need surgeon mentally perform task transferring 2D images seen on...

Background. Lateral approaches to the spine have gained increased popularity due enabling minimally invasive access spine, less blood loss, decreased operative time, and postoperative pain. The objective of study was analyze use intraoperative computed tomography with navigation implementation augmented reality in facilitating a lateral approach spine. Methods. We prospectively analyzed all patients who underwent surgery from September 2016 January 2021 using CT applying 32-slice movable...

Neuronavigation is routinely used in glioblastoma surgery, but its accuracy decreases during the operative procedure due to brain shift, which can be addressed utilizing intraoperative imaging. Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) widely available, offers excellent live imaging, and fully integrated into modern navigational systems. Here, we analyze imaging features of navigated i3D US impact on extent resection (EOR) surgery.Datasets 31 procedures were evaluated. Patient registration was...

Pathway activating models try to describe stimulation spread in deep brain (DBS). Volume of tissue activated (VTA) are simplified model variants allowing faster and easier computation. Our study aimed investigate, how VTA visualization can be integrated into a clinical workflow applying directional electrodes using standard DBS planning system.

This study aims to report on the capability of microscope-based augmented reality (AR) evaluate registration and navigation accuracy with extracranial intracranial landmarks elaborate its opportunities obstacles in compensation for inaccuracies. In a consecutive single surgeon series 293 patients, automatic intraoperative computed tomography-based was performed delivering high initial mean target error 0.84 ± 0.36 mm. Navigation is evaluated by overlaying maximum intensity projection or...
