Spinal Hernia Repair and Cauda Equina Repositioning After Lumbar Decompression under Three-Dimensional Microscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review04:33

Spinal Hernia Repair and Cauda Equina Repositioning After Lumbar Decompression under Three-Dimensional Microscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Dural hernia following spinal endoscopic surgery is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of nerve root hernia associated with the absence of dural repair, prolonged operation time, and increased abdominal pressure due to postoperative constipation. Early dural tear repair and monitoring postoperative constipation can help prevent cauda equina...

Spontaneous Murine Model of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Here, we present a standard pipeline to obtain murine ATC tumors by spontaneous genetically engineered mouse models. Further, we present tumor dynamics and pathological information about the primary and metastasized lesions. This model will help researchers to understand tumorigenesis and facilitate drug...

Tissue-Engineered Graft for Circumferential Esophageal Reconstruction in Rats

Esophageal reconstruction is a challenging procedure, and development of a tissue-engineered esophagus that enables regeneration of esophageal mucosa and muscle and that can be implanted as an artificial graft is necessary. Here, we present our protocol to generate an artificial esophagus, including scaffold manufacturing, bioreactor cultivation, and various surgical...

Generation of a Mouse Spontaneous Autoimmune Thyroiditis Model

Several types of animal models of Hashimoto's thyroiditis have been established, as has spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis in the NOD mouse. H-2h4 mice are a simple and reliable model for HT induction. This article describes this approach and evaluates the pathological process for a better understanding of the SAT murine...

Simultaneous Laryngopharyngeal and Conventional Esophageal pH Monitoring06:46

Simultaneous Laryngopharyngeal and Conventional Esophageal pH Monitoring

Laryngopharyngeal pH monitoring has been specifically designed to measure acid exposure above the upper esophageal sphincter and complements diagnostic evaluation in patients that present with mainly extraesophageal reflux symptoms. Patients with suspected laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) were evaluated using distal esophageal and laryngopharyngeal pH testing...
