Background And Importance: Augmented reality (AR) is a novel technology with broadening applications to neurosurgery. In deformity spine surgery, it has been primarily directed to the more precise placement of pedicle screws. However, AR may also be used to generate high fidelity three-dimensional (3D) spine models for cases of advanced deformity with existing instrumentation. We present a case in which an AR-generated 3D model was used to facilitate and expedite the removal of embedded instrumentation and guide the reduction of an overriding spondyloptotic deformity.
Clinical Presentation: A young adult with a remote history of a motor vehicle accident treated with long-segment posterior spinal stabilization presented with increasing back pain and difficulty sitting upright in a wheelchair. Imaging revealed pseudoarthrosis with multiple rod fractures resulting in an overriding spondyloptosis of T6 on T9. An AR-generated 3D model was useful in the intraoperative localization of rod breaks and other extensively embedded instrumentation. Real-time model thresholding expedited the safe explanation of the defunct system and correction of the spondyloptosis deformity.
Conclusion: An AR-generated 3D model proved instrumental in a revision case of hardware failure and high-grade spinal deformity.

The ion-ion mutual neutralization reactions Ar(+)+SF(n) (-)-->Ar+SF(n) (n=6, 5, and 4) have been studied in a flowing afterglow-Langmuir probe (FALP) apparatus at 300 K and 1 Torr of He buffer gas. Electron concentrations and product ion fractions were measured, and neutralization rate constants of 4.0 x 10(-8), 3.

Competition binding isotherms for agonists to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) display high and low binding affinities. Mutagenesis of lysine at position 324 in helix 6 of the wild-type (WT) human beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1-AR) generated mutant receptors that had GTP-insensitive single low-affinity binding sites for agonists and reduced potencies of full or partial agonists in stimulating adenylyl cyclase. Unlike the WT beta1-AR, intrinsic activities of full and partial agonists in activating the Lys324-->Ala beta1-AR (K324A) mutant were correlated with their binding affinities to the K324A mutant.

Using crossed molecular beam-chemiluminescence apparatus, visible chemiluminescence in the region of 300-900 nm was measured from the gas-phase reaction of microwave discharge of CF4 diluted in Ar with carbon disulfide at various pressures. The geometries and frequencies of possible reaction products were respectively investigated at the B3LYP/6-311 + + G (3df, 2pd) and MP2/6-311 + G(d, p) levels. Chemiluminescence spectrum was assigned to emission spectrum of the electronically excited states of F2S2.

Monophasic ascending ramp (AR) and descending ramp (DR) waveforms are known to have significantly different defibrillation thresholds. We hypothesized that this difference arises due to differences in mechanisms of arrhythmia induction for the two waveforms. Rabbit hearts (n = 10) were Langendorff perfused, and AR and DR waveforms (7, 20, and 40 ms) were randomly delivered from two line electrodes placed 10 mm apart on the anterior ventricular epicardium.
