Paradoxical signaling regulates structural plasticity in dendritic spines [PDF]
Transient spine enlargement (3-5 min timescale) is an important event associated with the structural plasticity of dendritic spines. Many of the molecular mechanisms associated with transient spine enlargement have been identified experimentally. Here, we use a systems biology approach to construct a mathematical model of biochemical signaling and ...

Acoustic Power Absorption and its Relation with Vector Magnetic Field of a Sunspot [PDF]
The distribution of acoustic power over sunspots shows an enhanced absorption near the umbra--penumbra boundary. Earlier studies revealed that the region of enhanced absorption coincides with the region of strongest transverse potential field. The aim of this paper is to (i) utilize the high-resolution vector magnetograms derived using Hinode SOT/SP ...

A strong law of large numbers for branching processes: almost sure spine events [PDF]
We demonstrate a novel strong law of large numbers for branching processes, with a simple proof via measure-theoretic manipulations and spine theory. Roughly speaking, any sequence of events that eventually occurs almost surely for the spine entails the almost sure convergence of a certain sum over particles in the population.

Prodrome to Seizure in Transforaminal Endoscopic Surgery: A Series of 9 Cases [PDF]
Objective Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PTELD) is safe and effective. Perioperative or postoperative seizures are a rare complication that can be prevented by promptly identifying prodromal symptoms and signs. This study aimed

Patient-Matched 3-D-Printed Guides for the Insertion of Cervical Pedicle Screws in Tumor Surgery
Background. Pedicle screw fixation in the cervical spine provides biomechanical advantages compared to other stabilization techniques. However, pedicle screw insertion in this area is challenging due to the anatomical conditions with a high risk of ...

Step-by-Step Sublaminar Approach With a Newly-Designed Spinal Endoscope for Unilateral-Approach Bilateral Decompression in Spinal Stenosis [PDF]
Objective Spinal stenosis is increasingly common due to population aging. In elderly patients with lumbar central canal stenosis (LCCS), minimizing muscle damage and bone resection is particularly important.
