Securitization versus sovereignty? Multi-level governance, scientific objectivation, and the discourses of the Canadian and American heads of state during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global health regime is caught in a paradox, whereby connecting "human" to "(inter)national" security to prevent the spread of infectious diseases unwittingly introduces into this complex and expertise-reliant domain of "low politics" the notion of "sovereign decisionism"-states' prerogative to identify a threat and counter it with exceptional measures that may in turn constrain their ability to unilaterally securitize disease. This article introduces an analytical framework presenting three pathways through which state leaders with different conceptions of sovereignty and varying constraints on their legitimacy among their domestic audiences may nevertheless securitize policy domains traditionally considered as falling within the scope of sub-state "low politics." Two of the pathways begin with scientific objectivation rather than politicization, and one trades power concentration for collaboration with sub-state and global authorities.

Background: Accurate visual information is needed to guide and perform efficient movements in daily life.
Aims: To investigate the relation between visual functions, functional vision, and bimanual function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP).
Methods And Procedures: In 49 children with uCP (7-15 y), we investigated the relation between stereoacuity (Titmus Stereo Fly test), visual perception (Test of Visual Perceptual Skills), visuomotor integration (Beery Buktenica Test of Visual-Motor Integration) and functional vision (Flemish cerebral visual impairment questionnaire) with bimanual dexterity (Tyneside Pegboard Test), bimanual coordination (Kinarm exoskeleton robot, Box opening task), and functional hand use (Children's Hand-use Experience Questionnaire; Assisting Hand Assessment) using correlations (r) and elastic-net regularized regressions (d).
Evolution of Cervical Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Current Progress and Future Directions-A Narrative Review.

Division of Spine, Department of Neurosurgery, Duke University Hospital, Durham, NC 27710, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Cervical endoscopic spine surgery is gaining traction for treating conditions like cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy due to its reduced muscular damage, less blood loss, and quicker recovery times.
- * New techniques such as endoscopic-assisted fusion and unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression aim to improve outcomes and expand the range of treatable issues.
- * Challenges like a steep learning curve and increased radiation exposure exist, but advancements in imaging, navigation technologies, and anesthesia are set to improve the procedure's future effectiveness and safety.
Minimizing Tissue Injury and Incisions in Multilevel Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Technical Note and Preliminary Results.

Article Synopsis
- - Biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) is an innovative method for treating spinal diseases, but traditionally requires multiple incisions, which can be invasive.
- - Researchers explored techniques to minimize incisions during multi-level spine surgeries, including the step-ladder technique, portal change technique, and tilting technique, aiming to protect normal tissue.
- - Results from 122 multi-level surgeries showed that using these combined techniques resulted in an average of 1.43 incisions per level, leading to significant improvements in pain, disability, and overall patient satisfaction after 12 months.
