Purpose: To report on the failure rates of an expandable interbody spacer, used for spinal instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or posterior thoracolumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
Methods: In this retrospective, single-center observational cohort study we reviewed consecutive PLIF/TLIF patients using the Catalyft™ PL and PL40 expandable titanium interbody implant (Medtronic, Minneapolis (USA)) between 07/2022 and 11/2023. We recorded patient demographics, surgical parameters, adverse events, radiological parameters and clinical outcomes according to the MacNab criteria.
Background: In nonoperative treated proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), uncertainty remains regarding functional outcome. Therefore, the aim was to identify predictors of functional outcome following nonoperative treatment of PHF and to develop predictive models.
Methods: Adults with a nonoperatively treated PHF involving the surgical neck were followed for 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on B^{+} decays to explore resonant structures using data from the LHCb experiment at various energy levels, totaling an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}.
- The researchers performed a simultaneous amplitude fit on two decay channels, determining the C parities of resonances in the D^{*±}D^{∓} mass spectra.
- Four new charmonium or charmoniumlike states were discovered, including η_{c}(3945) and h_{c}(4000), and the presence of T_{c[over ¯]s[over ¯]0}^{*}(2870)^{0} and T_{c[over ¯]s
Article Synopsis
- Humeral shaft fractures make up about 3% of all fractures, with complex types being rare; the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of treating these fractures using an open method with a locking plate.
- A retrospective analysis involved 26 patients over an average age of 64, assessing fracture healing, complications, and quality of life through various evaluations.
- Results showed no infections and effective wound healing, though mechanical issues arose in some cases and 84% had healed fractures within a year; complications included temporary and persistent radial nerve palsy in two patients.
A measurement of time-dependent CP violation in D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} decays using a pp collision data sample collected by the LHCb experiment in 2012 and from 2015 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.7 fb^{-1}, is presented. The initial flavor of each D^{0} candidate is determined from the charge of the pion produced in the D^{*}(2010)^{+}→D^{0}π^{+} decay.
