PERCUTANEOUS UNIPORTAL FULL-ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY FOR TREATING SYMPTOMATIC LUMBAR FACET JOINT CYSTS UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA COMBINED WITH MONITORED ANESTHESIA CARE: A PRELIMINARY REPORT OF EIGHT CASES WITH AT LEAST 1 YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Percutaneous uniportal full-endoscopic surgery for treating symptomatic lumbar facet joint cysts under local anesthesia combined with monitored anesthesia care: a preliminary report of eight cases with at least 1 year follow-up

BackgroundLumbar facet joint cysts (FJCs) are a relatively rare clinical pathology that can result in radiculopathy or neurogenic claudication.Various treatments such as percutaneous aspiration and surgery have been reported to have good clinical outcomes.However, few clinical studies have aimed to here treat symptomatic lumbar FJCs by using unipor

Water-borne cues of a non-indigenous seaweed mediate grazer-deterrent responses in native seaweeds, but not vice versa.

Plants optimise their resistance to herbivores by regulating deterrent responses on demand.Induction of anti-herbivory defences can occur directly in grazed plants or from emission of risk cues to the environment, which modifies interactions of adjacent plants with, for instance, their consumers.This study confirmed the induction of anti-herbivory
