Radiographic Anatomy and Clinical Value of the Modified Corner Approach in Interlaminar Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy. [PDF]
The modified corner approach is a simple, standard, and repeatable surgical approach with the intersection of the superior endplate and facet joint as the puncture target. For patients without or with mild facet joint degeneration, the puncture target can be appropriately moved inward by 2 mm.

On "Confirmatory" Methodological Research in Statistics and Related Fields. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Empirical substantive research, such as in the life or social sciences, is commonly categorized into the two modes exploratory and confirmatory, both of which are essential to scientific progress. The former is also referred to as hypothesis‐generating or data‐contingent research, while the latter is also called hypothesis‐testing research. In

An investigation into in-sample and out-of-sample model selection for nonstationary autoregressive models. [PDF]
Abstract The stationary autoregressive model forms an important base of time‐series analysis in today's psychology research. Diverse nonstationary extensions of this model are developed to capture different types of changing temporal dynamics. However, researchers do not always have a solid theoretical base to rely on for deciding a‐priori which of ...

Blood pressure (BP) is a basic determinant for organ blood flow supply. Insufficient blood supply will cause tissue hypoxia, provoke cellular oxidative stress, and to some extent lead to organ injury. Perioperative BP is labile and dynamic, and intraoperative hypotension is common.

Abstract Background Successful preclinical transplantations of porcine hearts into baboon recipients are required before commencing clinical trials. Despite years of research, over half of the orthotopic cardiac xenografts were lost during the first 48 hours after transplantation, primarily caused by perioperative cardiac xenograft dysfunction (PCXD ...

Abstract The changes in the myocardial proteome and metabolome associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are poorly characterized. We investigated the impact of mechanical unloading following LVAD therapy on the myocardial proteome and metabolome.
