Transcostal Microendoscopic Discectomy for Central Thoracic Disc Herniation Causing Myelopathy: A Technical Note

Spine Surgery and Related Research
Introduction: Minimally invasive surgical treatment of myelopathy caused by central thoracic disc herniation (TDH) is challenging to carry out because reaching the herniation site is difficult and the thoracic spinal cord is fragile. In this study, using

Altered gene expression in the liver and small intestine of horses with equine neuroaxonal dystrophy

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.

“Abductor Sparing”: A New Selective Involvement in ALS

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Various signs of selective muscle involvement have been reported in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but such studies for the lower limbs are scarce. We formed a preliminary impression that hip abductors (Ab) are often preserved in ALS.

Evaluating the efficacy of obturator cryoneurolysis for hip adductor spasticity: An observational, prospective study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hip adductor spasticity is a common affliction among patients with disorders of the central nervous system. Cryoneurolysis is a novel intervention for spasticity involving the application of extreme cold to a nerve. This induces axonal breakdown, relieving spasticity.

The predictive nature of diagnostic nerve blocks for lower extremity spasticity management with botulinum toxin and neurotomy: A systematic review

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction/Objective Diagnostic nerve blocks (DNBs) involve the injection of anesthetic around peripheral nerves to temporarily reduce motor tone. Although they are used clinically to inform spasticity treatment with neurotomy and chemodenervation, there is little research exploring the predictive nature of DNBs.
