Purpose: One of the major advantages of a minimally invasive microdiscectomy is that when CSF leak occurs, there is minimal anatomic dead space for ongoing leakage following removal of the tubular retractor. However, there are no published reports that address the safety and long-term outcomes of same-day discharge for CSF leak after tubular microdiscectomy.
Methods: This is a retrospective compartive study of 30 patients with incidental durotomy during minimally invasive tubular microdiscectomy occurring between January 1, 2009 to August 31, 2023 at our institution.
Due to an ongoing recent evolution in practice, sleep medicine as a discipline has been compelled to respond to the converging pressures to reduce costs, improve outcomes, and demonstrate value. Patient "researchers" are uniquely placed to participate in initiatives that address the specific needs and priorities of patients and facilitate the identification of interventions with high likelihood of acceptance by the "customer." To date, however, the "patient voice" largely has been lacking in processes affecting relevant policies and practice guidelines.

Methods: 8 cases of LyP (4 type A cases and 4 type C cases) were detected the immunophenotype first, and then comparative study between the MF-like cells and RS-like cells was conducted on T-cell receptor (TCR) gamma-chain gene rearrangement by combinating laser capture microdissectinon (LCM) and PCR. PCR products of one patient which had positive bands were selected randomly for sequencing and sequence alignment analysis.

To simultaneously compare and evaluate the examinations of bone marrow smear and trephine biopsy in differential diagnosis and therapeutical effect of pancytopenia patients, the differences between bone marrow smear and trephine biopsy in degree of cellularity, misdiagnosis rate and therapeutical effect for 71 patients with pancytopenia were analyzed. The results showed that the degree of cellularity in bone marrow biopsy for cytologic morphology was higher than that from the smear, but misdiagnosis rate in the biopsy was lower than that in the smear. In conclusion, bone marrow biopsy is necessary to the differential diagnosis and more valuable for evaluation of therapeutical effect and prognosis of pancytopenia patients.
