language like other inventions was originated to serve human needs in different civilization. different language was created later. contextually the importance of translation from one language to another is not only to understand words; as the words are not the elements of translation. importance and base of translation lies in context to understand it. after getting the content, one should d...

We give a complete re-analysis of the leading twist quark-antiquark light-cone distribution amplitudes of longitudinal and transverse mesons. We derive Wandzura-Wilczek type relations between diierent distributions and update the coeecients in their confor-mal expansion using QCD sum rules including next-to-leading order radiative corrections. We nd that the distribution amplitudes of quarks in...

The ease of a 63-year-old man who presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome plus posterior column defiats due to extensive ossifieation of the posterior longitudinal ligament is reported. Diagnostie evaluation included magnetie resonance imaging in addition to eonventional teehniques. The patient was surgieally treated by corpeetomy and fusion using an anterior approaeh and made a complete reeovery...

A 73-year-old man who presented with right lumbosciatic pain underwent a neurosurgical operation for a voluminous L2-L3 disc herniation, seen on conventional MRI images. No disc herniation was identified in the epidural space during the surgery. Just after the operation, the patient started to present pain in the left L3 territory and was not able to walk any more. A second MRI including three-...

Intraoperative spinal sonography was used during cervical anterior approach procedures for cervical discectomy and osteophytectomy to demonstrate spinal pulsation, the protruded disc or osteophyte, the anterior subarachnoid space, and the spinal cord. Spinal pulsation was recognized in some cases before removal of the disc but the anterior subarachnoid space and spinal cord could not be observe...

Background Late cardiotoxicity is a known complication of anthracycline therapy. CMR is the gold standard for assessment of cardiac function, with demonstrated utility in the detection of subtle abnormalities of myocardial structure and motion. Using conventional and novel CMR techniques, we re-examined a cohort of late cancer survivors, previously studied with echocardiography in childhood. We...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of bilateral C4-5 foraminotomy in preventing occurrence of postoperative C5 palsy and to identify possible risk factors for its development. METHODS A total of 70 consecutive patients who underwent open-door laminoplasty with bilateral C4-5 foraminotomy were included. Clinical, radiographic, and operative data was reviewe...

Laminoplasty was developed to treat multilevel pathology of the cervical spine, namely ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Laminoplasty was popularized in the 1980s, and since then many variations on the theme have been developed. All are similar in that they expand the cervical canal while leaving the protective dorsal elements in place. Adv...
