Endoscopic anterior to psoas lumbar interbody fusion: indications, techniques, and clinical outcomes.

Purpose: The retrospective study aimed to report the surgical technique and clinic-radiological outcomes of endoscopic anterior to psoas interbody lumbar fusion through the retroperitoneal approach with direct and indirect decompression.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the results of clinical parameters of patients who underwent endoscopic anterior to psoas interbody lumbar fusion between June 2013 and June 2022. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by the visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores.

A 30-Year Worldwide Research Productivity of Scientific Publication in Full-Endoscopic Decompression Spine Surgery: Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis.

Objective: The ever-growing number of articles related to full-endoscopic spine surgery published in the last few decades presents a challenge which is perplexing and time-consuming in identifying the current research status. The study aims to identify and analyze the most cited works related to full-endoscopic decompression spine surgery, compare the articles published by different publishers and area, and show the current publication status of full-endoscopic research.

Methods: Using Bibliometrix, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer, we analyzed the bibliometric data selected from the Web of Science database between 1992 and 2022.

Histopathological evaluation of cutaneous reactions to tattoos: Study at a tertiary care center.

Background: Tattooing has been around for many years and is becoming an increasingly common fashion trend. As there are often few regulatory laws regarding the practice, an increase in the incidence of cutaneous reactions to tattoo inks is noted. These include allergic reactions, granulomatous dermatitis, infections, lichenoid dermatoses, and sometimes malignancy.

Extensive Verrucae over Healed Pemphigus Vulgaris Lesions in an Immunocompetent Female: A Rare Presentation of Wolf's Isotopic Response.

Wolf's isotopic response refers to the occurrence of a skin disorder at the site of another unrelated and already healed skin disease. The cases described so far in the literature include herpes (simplex or zoster) as the primary disease in most cases and a myriad of skin diseases as the secondary disease. Here, we report a case where extensive verrucae developed over the sites of healed lesions of pemphigus vulgaris, in an immunocompetent female.

Angiokeratoma Corporis Diffusum: An Uncommon Case with Suspected Anderson Fabry Disease.

Angiokeratomas are variable sized hyperkeratotic vascular papules that are characterized histologically by superficial dilated capillaries in papillary dermis with epidermal proliferation. They can occur as a single lesion to a generalized form (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum). Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum though initially synonymous with Anderson Fabry disease, is now known to occur in a variety of lysosomal enzyme deficiencies.
