COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HALO-VEST REDUCTION AND SKULL TRACTION REDUCTION IN THE TREATMENT OF CERVICAL FRACTURE DISLOCATION IN PATIENTS WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the halo-vest in the treatment of cervical fracture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and kyphosis.MethodsFrom May 2017 to May 2021, 36 patients with cervical fractures with AS and thoracic kyphosis were included in this study.The patients with cervical spine fractures

Minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques require effective Knobs lung separation using one-lung ventilation (OLV).Verification of lung isolation may be confirmed by auscultation, visual confirmation using fiberoptic bronchoscopy, or more recently, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).We describe anecdotal experience with POCUS to guide OLV durin

The growth and drainage of active subglacial lakes in Antarctica has previously been inferred from analysis of ice surface altimetry data.We use a subglacial hydrology model applied to a synthetic Antarctic ice stream to examine internal controls on the filling and drainage of subglacial lakes.Our model outputs suggest that the highly constricted s
