In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.5K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the standard for cervical disc herniation.
  • Advancements have led to alternative surgical techniques like percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a technical description of anterior and posterior PECD approaches.
  • To highlight PECD as an alternative to ACDF for cervical disc herniation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anterior and posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy techniques.
  • Discussion of indications, advantages, and limitations of PECD.

Main Results:

  • PECD allows for accurate decompression of nerve roots and the dural sac.
  • Encouraging clinical outcomes have been reported for PECD.
  • PECD offers symptom resolution without the need for interbody fusion.

Conclusions:

  • PECD is a viable, minimally invasive surgical option for cervical disc herniation.
  • Proper patient selection and surgical training are crucial for successful PECD outcomes.
  • Technological advancements are expanding the applicability of PECD in complex cases.
