NON DISCOGENIC SCIATICA MIMICKING DISORDERS : A DILEMMA FOR NEUROSURGEONS IN MAKING SURGICAL DECISIONS: A REPORT OF 81 PATIENTS FROM ALI INSTITUTE OF NEUROSCIENCES, IRFAN GENERAL HOSPITAL

open access: yesRehman Journal of Health Sciences, 2023
Introduction: The cause of sciatica is not always discogenic and majority of patients are misdiagnosed as having discogenic sciatica while the underlying non discogenic causes are overlooked. This study aimed at evaluating the frequency of non-discogenic

Ancient Schwannoma Presenting as Sciatica Mimicker: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopedics and Joint Surgery
Sciatica is the pain that radiates from the lower back or buttock to the posterior thigh, calf, and towards the foot. The most common cause of sciatica is intervertebral disc prolapse or degenerative spinal conditions.

Biomaterials‐Based Hydrogel with Superior Bio‐Mimetic Ionic Conductivity and Tissue‐Matching Softness for Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By mimicking the ion‐accelerating effect of ion channel receptors in neuron membranes, a biomaterials‐based ionic hydrogel (BIH) is developed, which offers a high ionic conductivity of 7.04 S m−1, outperforming conventional chitosan, cellulose, agarose, starch, and gelatin based ionic hydrogels.

Risk factors for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a case‒control study

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Early assessment of the risk of nonunion in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is beneficial to early clinical decision making. However, a comprehensive understanding of the risk factors for OVCF nonunion is lacking. Methods We

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Effect and neurophysiological mechanism of acupuncture in patients with chronic sciatica: protocol for a randomized, patient-assessor blind, sham-controlled clinical trial

open access: yesTrials, 2019
Background Sciatica is a relatively frequent illness that easily becomes a chronic and relapsing condition. Although numerous systematic reviews have analyzed various therapies for sciatica, the validity of their included studies is limited.
