Disc Height and Angle Changes on Radiographs and Magnetic Resonance Imaging after Anterior or Posterior Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy.

: Cervical disc herniation (CDH) leads to pain, numbness, and potential disability. Percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD) offers an anterior or posterior approach. This study aims to compare postoperative disc height and angle changes one year after PECD, considering both approaches.

Cervical Conjoined Nerve Root During Posterior Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Diskectomy.

Cervical conjoined nerve root is rare, and medical imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, cannot give an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Treatment of cervical radiculopathy with root anomaly can be challenging. We report here a case of cervical conjoined nerve root with a 2-dimensional video.

Dumbbell-shaped meningioma of Meckel's cave mimicking trigeminal schwannoma: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Several meningioma cases arising through Meckel's cave (MC) at the middle and posterior fossa have been reported. However, few relevant meningiomas have been observed with a dumbbell shape.

Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a 36-year-old woman with a meningioma of MC with a typical dumbbell-shaped, schwannoma-like presentation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resulting in a misleading differential diagnosis.

Odors from proximal species reverse the stress-decreased neurogenesis via main olfactory processing.

Unconditioned foot shock followed by restraint in water was used as a stress regimen to induce decreases in neurogenesis in mouse dentate gyrus (DG). Presence of conspecific odors has been known to reverse the stress-induced decrease in DG neurogenesis. In this study, we found that the conspecific odors did not produce these protective effects in mice whose MOE was impaired by nasal zinc sulfate lavage.
