FULL-ENDOSCOPIC DECOMPRESSION FOR FIFTH LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY DUE TO A FRAGILITY SACRAL FRACTURE ASSOCIATED WITH FAR-LATERAL L5/S1 DISC HERNIATION: A TECHNICAL NOTE

Full-endoscopic decompression for fifth lumbar radiculopathy due to a fragility sacral fracture associated with far-lateral L5/S1 disc herniation: A technical note

The prevalence of fragility sacral fractures has been increasing with the rise in the number of osteoporotic patients and the development of diagnostic imaging.Sacral fracture can cause injury to the fifth lumbar (L5) nerve, although the incidence is low.The therapeutic strategy for sacral fracture with neurological injury has not yet been establis

Stochastic Pareto diffusion process : Statistical analysis and computational issues. Simulation and Application

Ear We propose a novel diffusion process having a mean function equal to the Pareto probability density function up to a constant of proportionality.We examine the probabilistic properties of the proposed model.Then, referring to the problem of statistical inference, we describe the approach employed to tackle the issue of obtaining parameter estim

Study on the best time of refracturing for Hancheng coal seam

The old wells in Hancheng Block face the problem of production Brush Roller Bearings decline after long-term exploitation, and need to be re-fractured to form new fractures to communicate with CBM rich areas, so as to achieve stable CBM production.Due to the small difference of initial stress in coal seam, the magnitude and direction of in-situ str

Ranging of older male elephants introduced to an existing small population without older males: Pilanesberg National Park

The African elephant Loxodonta africana is one REFRESHING BALM of the key components of African savanna.Not only do they play a crucial role in the ecosystem (Dublin et al.1990; Van de Vijver et al.1999), but they also provide one of the integral parts of sustainable conservation through ecotourism (e.g.Brown 1993) and consumptive utilisation (Tayl
