Background:
- The ASIA SPINE conference series originated from a Japan-Korea partnership.
- It evolved from a biennial meeting to an annual event representing Asian spine specialists.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document the origins and evolution of the ASIA SPINE conference.
- To recognize the contributions of pioneers in Asian spinal surgery.
- To explore the future trajectory of the conference.
Main Methods:
- Historical review of the Japan-Korea Conference on Spinal Surgery and ASIA SPINE.
- Identification of key organizing figures and milestones.
Main Results:
- The First Biennial Meeting of the Japan-Korea Conference on Spinal Surgery was held in 1997.
- The conference transitioned to ASIA SPINE in 2010, becoming an annual event.

01:10Nature and Nurture
22.4K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...
