A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

Cognitive Impairment following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery [PDF]
Global Spine Journal, 2016 Introduction Elderly patients undergoing major surgery may experience cognitive deterioration due to lesser plasticity in their brain tissue. This so called postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) syndrome is characterized with non-specific dysfunction in memory, concentration and analysis skills. It is not known whether adult spinal deformity (ASD)

Osteotomies/spinal column resections in adult deformity [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2012 Osteotomies may be life saving procedures for patients with rigid severe spinal deformity. Several different types of osteotomies have been defined by several authors. To correct and provide a balanced spine with reasonable amount of correction is the ultimate goal in deformity correction by osteotomies.
