Neurosurgical Focus, 2014 OBJECT Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an alternative to open deformity surgery for the treatment of patients with adult spinal deformity. However, at this time MIS techniques are not as versatile as open deformity techniques, and MIS techniques have

Heterozygous variants in AP4S1 are not associated with a neurological phenotype
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in AP4S1 cause childhood‐onset hereditary spastic paraplegia. A recent report suggested that heterozygous AP4S1 variants lead to a syndrome of lower limb spasticity and dysregulation of sphincter function. We critically evaluate this claim against clinical observations in 28 heterozygous carriers of the same

Treatment of acquired flexural deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint in the horse: a retrospective study of 51 cases [PDF]
, 2016 Flexural deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint is an important disorder in horses, which can be acquired during the first year of life, often as a result of lateralization during grazing. In this retrospective study, the medical files of 51 cases

An MRI assessment of mechanisms underlying lesion growth and shrinkage in multiple sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.By applying the tensor model, we analysed lesion orientation and the directionality of lesion expansion/contraction in multiple sclerosis. Each lesion is summarized as an ellipsoid, and the tensor model is applied to calculate lesion anisotropy. From the top to the bottom white matter atlas, surface‐in gradient segmentation and venous atlas used in the

Overcoming the biological aging of titanium using a wet storage method after ultraviolet treatment
Scientific Reports, 2017 We evaluated whether the biological activity of the surface of titanium, when stored in an aqueous solution after ultraviolet (UV) treatment, is comparable to that of the surface immediately after UV treatment.

Analytic and Algebraic Deformations of Super Riemann Surfaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 By analytic deformations of complex structures, we mean perturbations of the Dolbeault operator. By algebraic deformations of complex structures, we mean deformations of holomorphic glueing data. For complex manifolds there is, infinitesimally, a correspondence between these two types deformations.
