متن کاملBreaking Through the "Glass Ceiling" of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.
inimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery has rapidly M evolved over the past decade and is increasingly being applied in the treatment of complex spinal pathologies. This journal last published a focus issue on MIS surgery in late 2010 and, in that issue, set forth the following, ‘‘We propose a definition [of MIS surgery] based on identifying the common goals and principles of MIS surgery—‘An MIS ...
متن کاملImportant considerations in calculating and reporting of sample size in randomized controlled trials
Background: The calculation of the sample size is one of the most important steps in designing a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is drawing the attention of researchers to the importance of calculating and reporting the sample size in randomized controlled trials. Methods: We reviewed related literature and guidelines and discussed some important issues in s...
