COMPARISON OF CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGIC OUTCOMES BETWEEN BIPORTAL ENDOSCOPIC TRANSFORAMINAL LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION AND POSTERIOR LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION

Abstract Biportal endoscopic spinal surgery has become increasingly popular, and indications have expanded.Among these, biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (BE-TLIF) has yielded good results.Herein, we compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of 155 patients treated with BE-TLIF and open posterior lumbar interbody fusi

Patterning is a critical step during organogenesis and is closely associated with the physiological function of organs.Tooth root shapes are finely rawafricaonline.com tuned to provide precise occlusal support to facilitate the function of each tooth type.However, the mechanism regulating tooth root patterning and development is largely unknown.In

Background: Following the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID 19) worldwide, many governments across the world including the Nigerian government had to implement measures to curtail the spread of this virus.Such measures included social distancing and personal hygiene which could have also helped to reduce the transmission of pneumonia among oth

Prophages as a part of Staphylococcus aureus genome contribute to the genetic diversity as well as survival strategies of their host.Some S.aureus prophages also have an imminent risk of host cell lysis and become a lytic phage.Nonetheless, interactions among S.aureus prophages, lytic phages, and their hosts, as well as the genetic diversity of S.a
