The overall complication rate of spinal fusions using BMP-2 is approximately 11.2%. This rate has remained stable despite the increased use of BMP over the past 5 years. Furthermore, there is no difference in overall complication rate in patients undergoing spinal fusion with or without BMP-2....
The SMDTs constitutes a real-life observatory of the implementation of innovative treatments in SMA. The discussions during the SMDTS were of great interest to establish national recommendations about indications of treatment and follow-up. The analysis of the SMDTS revealed a heterogeneity of ...

The human body is a complex life system, and its exercise system consists of more than 200 bones, more than 600 muscles, and countless nerves commanding these bones and muscles; in this regard, specifying each piece of bone in the experiment is impossible [25, 26]. Basing on the idea of...
by using more than one capture probe conjugate, each of which has at least one different detection characteristic, e.g., fluorescence characteristic (for example excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, emission intensity, FWHM (full width at half maximum peak height), or fluorescence lifetime)....
Zebrafish possesses a unique ability of regenerating neurons along their rostrocaudal brain axis throughout life unlike mammals. In an interesting observation, the researchers found that zebrafish microinjected with Aβ1–42peptide showed regeneration of neurons, specifically neural cell/progenitor cell prol...
usually people don't wait one at a time to go through—they usually go through as a family or as a group of friends. So one part of it is that we need to make sure that these technologies fit the way people actually behave in real life,” Vemury said. “Another part of this i...
