Efficacy of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Versus Cervical Disc Arthroplasty in the Treatment of Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease, Radiculopathy, and Myelopathy: A Systematic Review.

Cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition in which the discs in the neck deteriorate, causing symptoms including neck and arm pain, muscle weakness, and incoordination. In severe cases, it can lead to nerve and spinal cord compression, resulting in radiculopathy and myelopathy. This review aimed to assess the effectiveness of two surgical treatments, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA), for addressing cervical DDD, radiculopathy, and myelopathy.

Interaction Effects of Nitrogen Source and Irrigation Regime on Tuber Quality, Yield, and Water Use Efficiency of L.

Two field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of three drip irrigation regimes (G: 120% crop evapotranspiration (ETc), G: 100% ETc, and G: 80% ETc) and four nitrogen (N) source treatments (S: non-fertilized; S: urea, S: ammonium nitrate, and S: ammonium sulfate on water consumption use, water utilization efficiency, chlorophyll, yield and tubers quality of potato ( L.; cv Diamond) under a drip irrigation system during two successive winter seasons (2015/16 and 2016/17)). Nitrogen fertilization was applied at 380 kg ha as standard application for potato in the investigated area.
