Full-Endoscopic Interlaminar Approach for Decompression of Lateral Recess Stenosis
Published on: February 24, 2023
Abstract:
The formulation of decompression procedures has generally been based on the observation that divers can be decompressed without stoppages to surface, from steady-state exposures of about twice the atmospheric pressure. Because decompression sickness rarely develops from this "no-stop decompression", it has been assumed that no gas is liberated. It is therefore assumed, in the calculation of the majority of decompression tables, that using a 2:1 decompression ratio allows the additional gas load from the hyperbaric exposure to be transported to the lungs in solution. Ultrasonic scanning and Doppler techniques have shown that this is not the case. Decompression tables must therefore be formulated so as to take into account the presence of gas, the critical diameter of circulating bubbles and the inherent unsaturation introduced by oxygen.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...
Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open.
