Abstract

Purpose: To estimate the frequency of iatrogenic injury of major vascular structures during lumbar discectomy.Materials and methods: The medical records of patients who underwent surgery for lumbar disc herniation at our neurosurgical clinic between April 2000 and April 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with intraoperative iatrogenic vascular injury were identified by reading the surgical notes and the post-operative progress records of patients who had undergone lumbar discectomy. The standard calculation of the incidence of iatrogenic major vascular injury in lumbar discectomy was used to analyse the data. The formula for estimating the standard probability by calculating the incidence rate is: [Formula: see text]=n/N, where [Formula: see text] is the estimated probability, n is the number of events and N is the total number of cases. The standard error of this estimate is SE[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]Results: During the study period, 2498 patients underwent lumbar discectomy at one or more levels of the lumbar spine. The operations were performed by more than 40 different neurosurgeons or surgical residents. More than 95% of the operations were done under a surgical microscope. Two cases were found to ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
