Percutaneous spine biopsy has widely replaced open biopsy during the last 50 years. Closed biopsy is more cost effective, less invasive, and has fewer complications than open procedures. A literature search was conducted in PubMed for percutaneous spine biopsy. The contributing factors to the success of the biopsy were identified by reviewing the articles and their references. These factors included location and type of lesion, needle system and use of different modalities of imaging as well as the physician’s expertise. Potential complications include pneumothorax, hematoma, nerve root injury, transient paresis, transient spinal anesthesia, meningitis, radiculopathy, and paraplegia. Overviews of the pre and post biopsy workup along with comprehensive description of the determinants of the biopsy outcome are discussed.

Case reports and studies may be defined as the non-experimental description of an individual or a few of cases in terms of new or unusual presentation of the diseases, an unexpected disease course or pathophysiology, and new effects (either beneficial or detrimental) of existing medications or procedures. Although they suffer from the non-experimental nature and other potential bias and errors, case reports and studies have played and will continue to play an important part in the advancement of medicine. They often serve as "primers" leading to discoveries of new diseases/disease pathophysiology as well as development of new preventive and therapeutic measures. Case reports and case studies are also employed as a platform for the training of medical students and/or resident doctors in scientific writing and critical thinking. Although the significance of case reports and studies in medicine has being recognized since the early stage of development of clinical medicine, their value needs to be appreciated in the context of modern clinical research design and the hierarchy of strength of evidence for guiding patient care. This paper discusses case reports and studies within the big picture of clinical research, research design, and evidence-based practice.

NMI16 Petr Nuska – DSLR revoluce a její vliv na filmovou tvorbuNew Media Inspiration
Prezentace z pátého ročníku konference New Media Inspiration (http://nminspiration.cz), který se konal 13. 2. 2016 v hlavní budově FF UK pod vedením @petrkou, @simindr a @josefslerka.
V roce 2008 přišel divizi vývoje digitálních zrcadlovek v Canonu navštívit video technik. Když si prohlédl nový model připravovaného fotoaparátu, řekl: „Pokud chcete, mohl bych tam přidat funkci videa.“ Asi málokdo tušil, že tento okamžik změní nejen celosvětovou produkci amatérského videa, ale dokonce výrazně zasáhne do filmového průmyslu. Jak probíhala tzv. DSLR revoluce? Co přinesly digitální zrcadlovky filmové tvorbě? A jak vypadají ozvěny této revoluce v roce 2016? Příspěvek představí příběh o vzpouře nezávislých filmařů proti monopolizovaným molochům filmového průmyslu a bude se věnovat i tomu, jak vypadá růst a vývoj technologie v éře novomediálních komunit.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed severe signs of keratoconus, corneal vascularisation and the presence of central leukoma.Keratoconus and corneal vascularisation in albino patients is a unique association, however, the genetic basis of this combination is still unclear.
A Mini-Review of Sham Surgery in Orthopedicssemualkaira
The purpose of this article is to review the literature related to
sham surgery in the field of orthopedics. In a clinical trial, sham
surgery acts as a placebo. In some studies, arthroscopic procedures
for treatment of knee osteoarthritis show no advantage over sham
procedures. The importance, morality, and validity of the experiments have been continuously debated. The medical community is
divided on the idea of surgical placebo studies, and just in 2020,
numerous publications have come forward in support or opposition to it. Some suggest that the sham studies have flawed design,
while others claim it is ill-advised to invalidate the studies based
on their limitations. Additional research is necessary to provide
insight on whether sham study results can be trusted or if they are
erroneous.
To Determine Preference of Shoulder Pain Management by General Physicians in ...suppubs1pubs1
Rotator cuff muscles are functionally active and provide stability to the shoulder joint and also thereby allow the full Range of Motion (ROM) by moving the head of humerus in the glenoid cavity. Any tear or fragility of the rotator cuff muscles can cause the dislocation or instability and hence damaging other muscles specially the long head of biceps muscle. The diseases related to the supraspinatus tendon are frequently linked with the long head of the biceps tendon. Other cause of chronic shoulder pain is the adhesive capsulitis with large prevalence rates of more than 5.3% in the general target population [3].

Role of HIFU Therapy in Treatment of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Sonablate® 5...YogeshIJTSRD
The health and quality of life of elderly men is directly dependent on non neoplastic diseases, among which benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH is of particular importance. Currently, various methods of minimally invasive surgical treatment of BPH are flourishing. Among the methods that can rightfully be considered the gold standards of surgical treatment of BPH transurethral resection of the prostate, laser enucleation of the prostate , a special place is occupied by borderline techniques that work at the junction of conservative and surgical treatment of BPH. Such techniques include HIFU High Intensity Focused Ultrasound or transrectal ablation with high intensity focused ultrasound, which allows directed ultrasound to destroy deep tissue without damaging nearby healthy areas. In the focusing area, the intensity of ultrasound reaches a very significant level, which is sufficient for a local increase in the tissue temperature in the focusing area up to 70 100 ° C. This leads to tissue necrosis of prostatic hyperplasia, and then, after rejection of the necrotic ablated areas, to improvement. Lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH. Shodmonova Z.

ABSTRACT- A 76 years old male presented with complaints of fever, weight loss and anorexia for three months and increased frequency and urgency of urine for 20 days. Physical examination of abdomen showed a lump in right paraumblical region and extending up to inguinal and hypogastrium on right side. Postero-anterior view of chest radiograph was normal. Ultrasound and Computed tomography (CT) of abdomen revealed a giant exophytic right renal cortical cyst of 9.84x9.70 cm (volume 336 mL) size arising from lower pole. Ultrasound guided aspiration of the cystic lesion revealed yellowish coloured, purulent pus of about 280 mL. Ziehl-Neelsen staining and PCR tests of the pus was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Gram’s staining and pus culture was negative for other microorganisms. Patient responded to anti-tubercular treatment and finally considered as primary tubercular giant exophytic renal cortical cyst. To our knowledge, this common entity is an extremely rare manifestation.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
