Another study compared the outcomes of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and TLIF for treating isthmic spondylolisthesis. The findings revealed that ALIF resulted in better segmental ...

Building on this experience, recent innovation has led to the development of prone transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody ... prone transpsoas interbody fusion at L3/4 with percutaneous posterior ...

China has achieved a major milestone in the quest for practical commercial fusion power. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak reactor in Hefei, Anhui Province has set a new record ...

China is believed to be constructing a huge fusion research site in its southwest, which could help it with both nuclear fusion efforts and nuclear weapons design, analysts and researchers have ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

A meta-analysis indicated that decompression alone yields comparable outcomes to decompression with fusion for patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, with the former associated with ...

If we want to rely on nuclear fusion to power the world's homes, the first step is making reactors that can run as hot and as long as possible. Now, China's 'artificial sun' reactor ...

Soon. Well, soon there will be a demonstration of net-gain fusion. You then have to build a system that doesn’t break. You have to scale it up. You have to figure out how to build a factory ...

A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is a common test doctors use to check for signs of MS in your spinal fluid. But a lumbar puncture on its own isn’t enough to confirm an MS diagnosis. Diagnosing ...

Lumbar support pillows are designed to provide added comfort and support to the lower back when sitting. They are particularly helpful for people who sit for extended periods, like office workers ...

The result of this literature review documents a remarkable list of various quantitative radiologic criteria applied to describe lumbar spinal stenosis. Measurement of antero-posterior diameter ...

Background: Beside symptoms and clinical signs radiological findings are crucial in the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). We investigate which quantitative radiological signs are ...
