The reverse shock in the ejecta of core-collapse supernovae is potentially able to destroy
newly formed dust material. In order to determine dust survival rates, we have performed a set …

Study Design: Systematic review. Objective: To date there is no consensus among surgeons
as to what defines an MIS-TLIF (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion using minimally …

Dust grains form in the clumpy ejecta of core-collapse supernovae where they are subject to
the reverse shock, which is able to disrupt the clumps and destroy the grains. Important dust …

Innovative technology and techniques have revolutionized minimally invasive spine surgery
(MIS) within the past decade. The introduction of navigation and image-guided surgery has …

Background Neurosurgical task shifting and task sharing (TS/S), delegating clinical care to
non-neurosurgeons, is ongoing in many hospital systems in which neurosurgeons are scarce…

Background: In patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis undergoing lateral transpsoas
approach for lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) surgery, it is not always clear when indirect …

Minimally invasive surgical approaches for the treatment of spinal pathologies have
accelerated over the past three decades and resulted in superior functional outcomes with less …

Background Context The concept of dynamic stabilization (DS) of the lumbar spine for
treatment of degenerative instability has been introduced almost two decades ago. Dynamic …

Objective Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a global issue associated with potentially debilitating
long-term consequences, including chronic low back pain (LBP). Short-term outcomes (<…

Core-collapse supernovae can condense large masses of dust post-explosion. However,
sputtering and grain–grain collisions during the subsequent passage of the dust through the …
