Objective: Evaluating the clinical value of the modified single-incision posterior median approach with expandable tubular assistance for lumbar interbody fusion in managing degenerative lumbar spine diseases.

Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 121 patients with single-level degenerative lumbar spine disease treated in our spine surgery department from January 2017 to December 2021. Of these, 72 patients underwent a modified single-incision posterior median approach with expandable tubular assistance lumbar interbody fusion (single-incision MIS-TLIF group), while 49 patients received the classic open posterior median incision P-TLIF (open surgery group).

Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels which are strong predictors of the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) seen elevated in the serum of people living with HIV (PLWH) on HAART and in those with low cluster of differentiation-4 (CD4) cell counts. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate AIP and hsCRP levels among PLWH on dolutegravir (DTG) and ritonavir-boosted atazanavir-based (ATV/r) antiretroviral therapy (ART) and their correlations to CD4 cell counts. The study design was an institutional-based comparative cross-sectional study conducted from November 4, 2021, to January 4, 2022.

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is currently defined as a serum ferritin level <100 or 100 to 299 ng/mL with transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%. Serum ferritin and TSAT are currently used to define absolute and functional ID. However, individual markers of iron metabolism may be more informative than current arbitrary definitions of ID.
