Hematoma is a life-threatening complication of anterior surgery in cervical spondylosis patients. Herein, we report a cervical spondylosis patient complicated with Huntington's disease, who developed unexpected neck hematoma after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgical treatment. During the debridement, we found no noticeable vessel lesions and concluded that the occurrence of postoperative hematoma might be due to the drainage displacement caused by excessive uncontrolled movements of the neck after the operation.

Background: Although ACDF has been widely used in treating cervical spondylosis and related diseases, the complications along with this anterior surgical technique have hindered its application and affected the postoperative outcome of the patients. Here, we investigated the clinical and radiological outcomes of a new integrated low-profile anterior plate and cage system for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in treating cervical spondylosis.

Methods: A total of 96 cervical spondylosis patients who underwent single-level ACDF between 2018 to 2020 in our institute were enrolled.

A theoretical and experimental study of the gas phase and liquid acetic acid based on resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy is presented. We combine and compare different levels of theory for an isolated molecule for a comprehensive analysis, including electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. The excitation energy scan over the oxygen K-edge absorption reveals nuclear dynamic effects in the core-excited and final electronic states.

Quenching of vibrational excitations in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of liquid acetic acid is observed. At the oxygen core resonance associated with localized excitations at the O-H bond, the spectra lack the typical progression of vibrational excitations observed in RIXS spectra of comparable systems. We interpret this phenomenon as due to strong rehybridization of the unoccupied molecular orbitals as a result of hydrogen bonding, which however cannot be observed in x-ray absorption but only by means of RIXS.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examines how preoperative cervical sagittal balance indexes affect outcomes in patients who underwent laminoplasty for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
  • - Conducted as a retrospective case study, it involved 181 patients over a two-year follow-up, analyzing various spinal measurements and clinical scores pre- and post-surgery.
  • - The findings indicate that the relationship between changes in spinal alignment and clinical outcomes remains unclear, suggesting further investigation is needed in this area.

Background: Hoffa fractures, coronal-plane fractures involving the distal femoral condyles, are unstable, intra-articular fractures. The aim of this study was to define the location and frequency of fracture lines and comminution zones in Hoffa fractures using computed tomography (CT) mapping in both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional contexts.

Methods: Seventy-five Hoffa fractures (OTA/AO types 33B3.

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying fundamental processes in plasmas as well as for spectral characterization of EUV light sources and EUV optics. However, a simultaneous measurement covering a broadband spectral range is difficult to realize. Here, we propose a method for interferometric broadband Fourier spectroscopy connecting soft x ray and visible spectral ranges with moderate spectral resolution.

In this work, we study the molar mass dependence of the thermodiffusion of polyethylene oxide at different temperatures in ethanol, water/ethanol mixture (c(water) = 0.7), and water in a molar mass range up to M(w) = 180,000 g/mol. Due to the low solubility of polyethylene oxide oligomers in ethanol the measurements are limited up to M(w) = 2200 g/mol.
