Comparing Patient-Reported Outcomes of Lateral to Paramedian Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Propensity-Score Matched Observational Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following lumbar discectomy on patients with lateral lumbar disc herniation (LDH) compared to patients with paramedian LDH.

Background: Surgery for disc herniation is one of the most common procedures of the lumbar spine. LDHs can be divided into median, paramedian, foraminal and extraforaminal types based on the anatomical site of the lesion.

TurboCas: A method for locus-specific labeling of genomic regions and isolating their associated protein interactome.

Regulation of gene expression during development and stress response requires the concerted action of transcription factors and chromatin-binding proteins. Because this process is cell-type specific and varies with cellular conditions, mapping of chromatin factors at individual regulatory loci is crucial for understanding cis-regulatory control. Previous methods only characterize static protein binding.

Incidence of early-onset type 2 diabetes and sociodemographic predictors of complications: A nationwide registry study.

Aims: Early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (18-45 years) is rising globally, yet complication incidence in this group remains unclear. We investigated the incidence of early-onset T2DM, the incidence of micro- and macrovascular complications, and how comorbidities (e.g.

Association between birth length, linear growth velocities, and primary school achievement at age 10 years: evidence from the Ethiopian iABC birth cohort.

Background: Childhood is a period marked by dynamic growth. Evidence of the association between childhood linear growth and school achievement comes mostly from cross-sectional data. We assessed associations between birth length, childhood linear growth velocities, and stunting with school achievement.
