Nowadays many physicians have focused their attention on using low invasive methods for the treatment of disc protrusion. Thus, the current study was carried out to evaluate the effect and therapeutic outcomes of clinical percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) in the treatment of chronic low back pain caused by disc protrusion during a two-year follow-up. This historical cohort study was conducted on 40 patients, who were suffering from chronic low back pain caused by disc protrusion diagnosed, and referred to the pain clinic of Akhtar Hospital from March to August 2016 were treated with PLDD and were followed up for at least two years after performing PLDD (from 2018 to 2019).

Continuous information on the suspended sediment in the water system is critical in various areas of industry and hydrological studies. However, because of the high variation of suspended sediment flow, challenges still remain in developing new techniques implementing simple, reliable, and real-time sediment monitoring. Herein, we report a potential method to realize real-time sediment monitoring by introducing a particle-laden droplet-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (PLDD-TENG) combined with a deep learning method.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of simultaneous epiduroscopic laser neural disc decompression (ELND) and percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) applications using a holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser in Michigan State University (MSU) classification 3AB herniated discs on VAS and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, ELND and PLDD procedures performed between January 2016 and December 2017 were examined. Preoperative, postoperative week 2, postoperative month 2, and postoperative month 6 ODI and VAS scores were obtained from patient files, and postoperative month 12 ODI and VAS scores were obtained from face-to-face interviews with patients and recorded.
