PHASE 1 STUDY OF SPINAL CORD CONSTRAINT RELAXATION WITH SINGLE SESSION SPINE STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY IN THE PRIMARY MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH INOPERABLE, PREVIOUSLY IRRADIATED METASTATIC EPIDURAL SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION

Background: Patients with previously irradiated metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) who are not surgical candidates are at high risk of neurologic deterioration due to disease in the setting of limited treatment options.We seek to establish the feasibility of using salvage spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) allowing for spinal c

Dynamic analysis of a rotor-bearing-pedestal system with multiple bearing clearances is conducted in this study.Firstly, Jones-Harris method is used to deduce the equivalent nonlinear support stiffness of angular contact high-speed ball bearing with preload considered.Ignoring the structural deformation, the contact model of inner and outer rings w

The Michigan Department of Corrections operates the Vocational Villages, which are Wobbly Pot skilled trades training programs set within prisons that include an immersive educational community using virtual reality, robotics, and other technologies to develop employable trades.An enhancement to the Vocational Villages could be an evidence-based jo

The effect of soil polluted by diesel oil on the germination of seeds and the growth of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi seedlings was analyzed at different times after contamination of the soil.The experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions, with Licorice four treatments and five repetitions.The four treatments included: soil contaminate

Abstract Background Automated test assembly (ATA) represents a modern methodology that employs data science optimization on computer platforms to automatically create test form, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of test assembly procedures.In the realm of medical education, large-scale high-stakes assessments often necessi
