Published: February 2022

The study examined technological change and employee’s quality of service in quoted insurance companies in Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study comprised of four thousand, eight hundred and twenty-two (4,822) employees of all 23 quoted insurance companies in Nigeria. The sample size of four hundred and eighty (480) was used to represent the target population. The respondents were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique which comprised of stratified and purposive sampling techniques. The research instrument was adapted questionnaire developed by previous researchers. The research instrument was validated using content validity and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient reliability result of technological change was 0.852 and employee’s quality of service was 0.725 which are greater than 0.7. The stated hypothesis was tested using regression analysis. The study revealed that technological change exerts positive significant (beta = -0.2333, P-value = 0.000 < 0.05) effect on employee’s quality of service. However, it is concluded that changes in technology enhance employee’s quality of service by reducing the workload and time saving. Thus, for insurance industry to achieve high performance and organisational growth, it requires employees to take the initiative and link their work skills to the evolving needs of the organisation in a manner that suits change initiatives being introduced. The study therefore recommended that the change in which employees are involved should be closely related to their own work environment.

We introduce the Physiologically-informed Gaussian Process (PhGP) model, a novel Bayesian probabilistic approach to integrate and interpret prior physiological knowledge in machine

learning models. Existing recognition algorithms often consider either end-end-to models and/or alongside feature extraction techniques. Conversely, our model based on Gaussian Processes

(GP) which are grounded on Bayesian statistics proposes a principled and interpretable integration of these techniques for recognition problems in biomedical engineering realm.

This paper builds upon but significantly extends our previous conference paper presented at EMBC 2020 [1]. In this paper, we develop a new model that considers both the raw physiological signals and the prior expert knowledge for training GP models. Moreover, unlike our previous paper by relying on the explicit formula of the GP inference equations, we developed an interpretability framework for our proposed recognition model. Finally, we thoroughly validated our new model on two different public datasets.

Our paper brings novelties in the field of biomedical engineering, affective computing , machine learning and computer sicence.

Miniaturized Fully-Passive Wireless Neural Recording with Heterogeneous Integration in Thin Packages
Authors: Been Sayeed Sk Yeahia , Venkatakrishnan Satheesh B , Volakis John L. , Pulugartha Markondeyaraj
Published: February 2022

Wireless
fully-passive neural recording systems are demonstrated with heterogeneous
integration of sensing, mixing and communication components in flexible polymer
dielectric films. The recording neurosensor has an antenna, antiparallel diode,
and a by-pass capacitor to modulate an incoming carrier signal with the neuropotentials
and backscatter the mixed signal to an external reader circuit. Planar antennas
are realized on Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) flexible substrates with low dielectric
constant. The designed antenna topology is
realized with a single metal layer and eliminates the dependency on substrate
thickness and leads to thinner sensors. This is a major advance compared to
prior passive neural recording with rigid and thicker substrates and components.
Approximately 80% thickness reduction and 20% volume reduction are achieved
with similar performance compared to earlier studies. Our approach thus leads
to low-cost and disposable wireless neurosensors on a flexible platform with
heterogenous integration.
Explainable Intelligent Fault Diagnosis for Nonlinear Dynamic Systems: From Unsupervised to Supervised Learning
Authors: Chen Hongtian , Liu Zhigang , Alippi Cesare , Huang Biao , Liu Derong
Published: February 2022

The increased complexity and intelligence of automation systems require the development of intelligent fault diagnosis (IFD) methodologies. By relying on the concept of a suspected space, this study develops explainable data-driven IFD approaches for nonlinear dynamic systems. More in detail, we parameterize nonlinear systems through a generalized kernel representation used for system modeling and the associated fault diagnosis. An important result obtained is a unified form of kernel representations, applicable to both unsupervised and supervised learning. More importantly, through a rigorous theoretical analysis we discover the existence of \emph{a bridge} (i.e., a bijective mapping) between some supervised and unsupervised learning-based entities. Notably, the designed IFD approaches achieve the same performance by the use of this bridge. In order to have a better understanding of the results obtained, unsupervised and supervised neural networks are chosen as the learning tools to identify generalized kernel representations and design the IFD schemes; an invertible neural network is then employed to build the bridge between them. This study is a perspective article, whose contribution lies in proposing and detailing the fundamental concepts for explainable intelligent learning methods, contributing to system modeling and data-driven IFD designs for nonlinear dynamic systems.

Smart Wires and Modular FACTS Controllers for Smart Grid Applications: A Review
Authors: Bhatt Pramod Kumar
Published: February 2022

Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller has got unanimous acceptance in the electric power industry due to their power control capability especially in transmission and sub transmission networks. These FACTS devices play a decisive role in stability enhancement and effective asset utilization. The controllers suffer from grave drawbacks such as colossal size, poor reliability, high cost, and unavailability of experienced personnel for operation and maintenance, which makes them unapt to be used in smart grid and modern power system applications. These inadequacies are effectively assuaged by the distributed FACTS devices, which are proliferated along the transmission lines, are said to be portable, cost-effective, highly reliable, and easy to maintain. This paper explores an exhaustive review of the smart wires and modular FACTS controllers with their application in smart power networks.
Aprendiendo con el cuerpo y más allá del cuerpo: la enseñanza de la capoeira Angola y la importancia de la relación Mestre-alumno
Authors: González Varela Sergio
Published: February 2022

El presente artículo es acerca del proceso de aprendizaje del arte ritual afrobrasileño de la capoeira desde una perspectiva antropológica. A pesar de ser un fenómeno global practicado en más de cien países, la transmisión de la capoeira depende de la relación entre un maestro y un estudiante. En este sentido, las enseñanzas implican no sólo al cuerpo sino a un ámbito más allá del cuerpo. El texto describe cómo los practicantes aprenden las técnicas fundamentales básicas dentro de un estilo llamado Angola, el cual, de acuerdo con sus líderes, se considera como el más tradicional y el más cercano de sus orígenes africanos. También se argumenta que las lecciones van más allá de las aulas y los líderes, llamados Mestres, se esfuerzan por educar a sus estudiantes en principios cosmológicos que incluyen la presencia de diferentes entidades en la capoeira como los maestros muertos y los ancestros africanos. Finalmente, el artículo argumenta que aprender capoeira, en esencia, consiste en incorporar un estilo de vida de manera holística

Beyond Seduction: Lessons Learned about Rape, Politics, and Power from Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Moshe Katsav
Authors: Brenner Hannah
Published: February 2022

In the last decade, two influential international political figures, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, and Moshe Katsav, former President of Israel, were accused of engaging in extreme and ongoing patterns of sexual violence. The collection of formal charges against the two men included rape, forcible indecent assault, sexual harassment, and obstruction of justice. The respective narratives surrounding the allegations against Katsav and Strauss-Kahn have their own individual characteristics, and each of the cases unfolded in diverging ways. Yet, the actions of these two men taken together, and the corresponding response of the legal systems in France, Israel, and the United States, offer an opportunity to evaluate contemporary issues of rape and power from a comparative perspective. This Article begins by telling the stories of how Strauss-Kahn and Katsav engaged in systematic patterns of sexual violence. It provides important background and context against which the two men are evaluated, offering a comparative analysis of the laws under which they faced accusations, formal charges, and in some instances, convictions. It is difficult to understand the ways in which the legal system and even the media responded to these allegations of sexual violence. This Article considers the victimization of women by the politically powerful by utilizing a framework created originally by Norwegian sociologist Nils Christie that identifies a set of characteristics describing the “ideal victim.” It next examines some of the legal issues impacted by stereotypes of “ideal” victims that conflict with the reality of “real” victims, making recommendations for expanding Christie’s framework to include an equally comprehensive evaluation of perpetrators and more importantly, the power differential that exists between victim and perpetrator. Midway through this Article, I explore the connection between sexuality, seduction, and sexual violence, and argue for a disentangling of these constructs. Finally, this article concludes by considering how the allegations against these powerful international political figures might advance the conversation on the intersection of sexual violence and power.
The Case for Procedural Safeguards in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
Authors: Fisher Betsy
Published: February 2022

The U. S. Refugee Admissions Program (“USRAP”) is a humanitarian program that resettles vulnerable refugees to the United States. Though these refugees have suffered from extraordinarily high rates of trauma, the refugee admissions process does not have formal statutory or regulatory safeguards to accommodate the vulnerable nature of many applicants for resettlement. Yet, the applicants who have suffered the most trauma, including victims of sexual and gender-based violence, are the refugees most likely to be impeded by a process that largely centers on proving the severity of their trauma. To promote accurate outcomes, and to decrease the risk of retraumatization during the resettlement adjudication process, Congress should enact procedural safeguards to govern USRAP. In applications for resettlement, refugees should be guaranteed access to counsel during their interviews, access to evidence used by USRAP against the refugee, written reasons for USRAP’s adverse decisions, the opportunity to appeal, and pre-screening for, and accommodation of, vulnerable traits that might impact the adjudication process.
The North Carolina Woman’s Right to Know Act: An Unconstitutional Infringement on a Physician’s First Amendment Right to Free Speech
Authors: Bakelaar Ryan
Published: February 2022

The North Carolina Woman’s Right to Know Act represents the crossroads of the Supreme Court’s First Amendment, informed consent, and abortion-related jurisprudence. The Act requires physicians to perform an obstetric ultrasound, verbally convey specific information regarding ultrasonographic findings, and communicate a host of other information to patients seeking abortions. The purported goal of the Act is to ensure that physicians obtain appropriate informed consent from such patients. By compelling a physician to convey this information, the State violates the physician’s First Amendment rights. Indeed, the State may not compel an individual to convey the State’s ideological message. Further, any statute that mandates that an individual speak alters the content of that speech and is, therefore, subject to strict scrutiny. Pursuant to current United States Supreme Court precedents on compelled and content-based speech, the relevant portions of the Act are unconstitutional. Further, the claim made by the Act’s proponents that the speech involved is commercial speech, subject to a lesser degree of First Amendment scrutiny, fails under the Court’s commercial speech precedents. The State may reasonably regulate the medical profession by mandating that physicians obtain informed consent and convey limited, truthful information to patients. However, the Act’s extensive and one-size-fits-all approach to informed consent is not a reasonable regulation of medical practice. What is left, therefore, is an unconstitutional attempt by the State to infringe on the First Amendment rights of physicians providing abortions in North Carolina.

Authors: Sidoretno Wahyu Margi
Published: February 2022

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that can cause several diseases in humans such as ulcers and wound infections. Matoa leaves contain phenolic and flavonoid compounds which are known to have antibacterial properties. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract of Pometia pinnata J.R. & G.Forst leaves against Staphylococcus aureus at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. This research was conducted by disc diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. Antibacterial activity was measured by looking at the inhibition of the growth of S. aureus bacteria. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the ethanolic extract of matoa leaves was able to inhibit the growth of S. aureu bacteria with the average inhibition zones produced at concentrations of 10%, 20% and 30%, namely 11.06 mm, 15.07 mm, 16.07 mm and control ciprofloxacin positive was 28.10 mm. From the results above, it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of matoa (Pometia pinnata) leaves has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
Implementation of the delayed antibiotic prescribing strategy. Prospective observation study in primary care
Authors: Llor Carl , Moragas Ana , Cots Josep M.
Published: February 2022

Objectives. We aimed to compare the actual consumption of antibiotics among patients issued delayed antibiotic prescribing with the consumption observed in a non-systematic review of studies on delayed prescribing. Methods. Observational study carried out in three primary care centres from September 2018 until March 2020. We tracked the electronic records of the 82 patients with episodes of acute bronchitis and 44 acute pharyngitis who were given a patient-led delayed prescription to determine whether the prescription was filled and when this medication was obtained. Results. The prescriptions were never filled in 50 cases (39.7%), but five patients took another antibiotic within the first two weeks. Out of 76 patients who did take the delayed prescription, only 12 obtained the medication based on the instructions given by the doctors (15.8%). Conclusions. The strategy of delayed antibiotic prescribing resulted in a reduction in antibiotic use, but this reduction was lower than in randomised clinical trials, being comparable to the results obtained with other observational studies on delayed antibiotic prescribing. In addition, only a few patients adhered to the doctors’ instructions.
Philosophy of Overcoming as a Constant of Creative Thinking of Lesia Ukrainka
Authors: Liakh Tetiana
Published: February 2022

The article explores the philosophy of overcoming in the Lesia Ukrainka’s creative work. This constant of the author’s artistic thinking is consistent with the meaning of “existentialist humanism” according to Sartre, who postulates the existence of man in the world, not introversion. The key to understanding the Lesia Ukrainka’s philosophy of overcoming is the poetry “Contra spem spero!” The artistic reception of the author of the myth of Sisyphus agrees with her understanding of Camus, however, unlike the French philosopher, Lesia Ukrainka sees the meaning of life in the movement to goal, creativity. Another cornerstone of Lesia Ukrainka’s philosophy of overcoming is a resistance to national enslavement and spiritual slavery. The writer dedicates a num-ber of dramatic poems on biblical and mythological themes to this topic, in which the existential mode of national enslavement is projected onto the realities of the author’s day. Lesia Ukrainka reflects the overcoming the “existential vacuum” (Frankl) by heroes, their acquisition of harmony with world through death in her dramas “The Noble Woman [boiarynia]”, “The Forest Song [lisova pisnia]”, and “The Blue Rose [blakytna troianda]”. Studying the philosophy of overcoming in the Lesia Ukrainka’s artistic reception ascertains once again that her creative work, philosophic discourse assonant, on one hand, with the Western European thought of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, and, on the other hand, an original phenomenon in the Ukrainian literature of the outlined period due to projection of individual existence of the poetess.

This study aims to determine the thermal behavior of lithium-ion phosphate (LiFePO4) 20Ah battery by Thermal imaging. This study focuses on day/night charging and discharging to the battery's temperature distribution. The thermal gradient of battery, LiFePO4 powered bike at different speeds 30kmph, 40kmph, 50kmph both load and without load condition. The spatial distribution of LiFePO4 cells was not stable during the discharging process. No significant temperature rise was recorded at the end of the discharge. During the range test at 30kmph, 40kmph, and 50kmph, the maximum surface temperature reached 47.90℃, 44.20℃, and 46.70 ℃, respectively. The battery's front view was most of the highest surface temperature region. The result shows thermal imaging is an effective tool to predict the temperature behavior of batteries and provide a better thermal management system in battery development
High-resolution Simulations of the Inner Heliosphere in Search of the Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves
Authors: Mostafavi P. , Merkin V. G. , Provornikova E. , Sorathia K. , Arge C. N. , Garretson J.
Published: February 2022

The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) can be generated at velocity shears in plasmas. While shears are abundant in the solar wind, whether they generate KHI in situ remains an open question, because of the lack of models that can simultaneously resolve the global structure of the expanding solar wind and the local structure of much smaller-scale velocity shears. In this paper, we use the Grid Agnostic MHD for Extended Research Applications model whose high resolving power, in combination with a highly refined spatial grid, allowed us to extend the simulation from global scales roughly into the first decade of the inertial range (∼1.5 × 105 km, which we refer to as mesoscale). We employ this computational capability to extract from the simulation the local properties of radial and azimuthal solar wind velocity shears and investigate their KH stability using a linear dispersion relation, which includes both the finite width of the shear and plasma compressibility. We find that radial shears, which dominate the global structure of the inner heliosphere, are stabilized by compressibility. However, depending on the local Alfvén speed, sound speed, shear thickness, and the strength of the stabilizing azimuthal magnetic field, the azimuthal shears generated inside stream interaction regions could be KH-unstable. While our highly resolved simulation allowed us to analyze the local properties of the velocity shears, its resolution was still insufficient to confirm the instability. We argue that even higher resolution simulations are required to reproduce in situ generation of KHI at velocity shears in the solar wind.
Return of the TEDI: Revisiting the Triple Evolution Dynamical Instability Channel in Triple Stars
Authors: Hamers Adrian S. , Perets Hagai B. , Thompson Todd A. , Neunteufel Patrick
Published: February 2022

Triple-star systems exhibit a phenomenon known as triple evolution dynamical instability (TEDI), in which mass loss in evolving triples triggers short-term dynamical instabilities, potentially leading to collisions of stars, exchanges, and ejections. Previous work has shown that the TEDI is an important pathway to head-on stellar collisions in the Galaxy, significantly exceeding the rate of collisions due to random encounters in globular clusters. Here, we revisit the TEDI evolutionary pathway using state-of-the-art population synthesis methods that self-consistently take into account stellar evolution and binary interactions as well as gravitational dynamics and perturbations from passing stars in the field. We find Galactic TEDI-induced collision rates on the order of 10−4 yr−1, consistent with previous studies which were based on more simplified methods. The majority of TEDI-induced collisions involve main-sequence stars, potentially producing blue straggler stars. Collisions involving more evolved stars are also possible, potentially producing eccentric post-common-envelope systems, and white dwarfs collisions leading to Type Ia supernovae (although the latter with a negligible contribution to the Galactic rate). In our simulations, the TEDI is not only triggered by adiabatic wind mass loss, but also by Roche lobe overflow in the inner binary: when the donor star becomes less massive than the accretor, the inner binary orbit widens, triggering triple dynamical instability. We find that collision rates are increased by ∼17% when flybys in the field are taken into account. In addition to collisions, we find that the TEDI produces ∼10−4 yr−1 of unbound stars, although none with escape speeds in excess of 103 km s−1.

In this work, we study the information content learned by a convolutional neural network (CNN) when trained to carry out the inverse mapping between a database of synthetic Ca ii intensity spectra and the vertical stratification of the temperature of the atmospheres used to generate such spectra. In particular, we evaluate the ability of the neural network to extract information about the sensitivity of the spectral line to temperature as a function of height. By training the CNN on sufficiently narrow wavelength intervals across the Ca ii spectral profiles, we find that the error in the temperature prediction shows an inverse relationship to the response function of the spectral line to temperature, that is, different regions of the spectrum yield a better temperature prediction at their expected regions of formation. This work shows that the function that the CNN learns during the training process contains a physically meaningful mapping between wavelength and atmospheric height.
Causal Interaction between the Subsurface Rotation Rate Residuals and Radial Magnetic Field in Different Timescales

We studied the presence and spatiotemporal characteristics and evolution of the variations in the differential rotation rates and radial magnetic fields in the Schwabe and quasi-biennial-oscillation (QBO) timescales. To achieve these objectives, we used rotation rate residuals and radial magnetic field data from the Michelson Doppler Imager on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on the Solar Dynamics Observatory, extending from 1996 May to 2020 August, covering solar cycles 23 and 24, respectively. Under the assumption that the radial surface magnetic field is nonlocal and the differential rotation is symmetric around the equator, our results suggest that the source region of the Schwabe cycle is confined between ∼30° N and S throughout the convection zone. As for the source region of the QBO, our results suggest that it is below 0.78 R

Mindful Communication: A Novel Approach to Improving Delegation and Increasing Patient Safety
Authors: Anthony Mary , Vidal Kathleen
Published: February 2022

The realities of the healthcare environment pose numerous challenges for professional registered nurses in providing quality and safe care. In many models of care nurses increasingly rely on unlicensed assistive personnel as members of the healthcare team. In these models of care, nurses remain accountable for outcomes even though they need to delegate some direct care to the unlicensed personnel. Effective delegation that results in quality and safe outcomes depends on the right communication. Delegation, safety, and quality of care are inextricably linked. Communication between the registered nurse (RN) and the unlicensed personnel can be threatened by poor quality information that is untimely or unclear. Under these conditions the care delivered may be inappropriate or missed resulting in adverse outcomes. Information quality, mindful communication (mindfulness), and mutual trust within the relational context of the delegation are explored as mechanisms to improve the quality of the information and communication between RNs and unlicensed personnel, thus improving the effectiveness of the delegation. Nursing implications are provided.
Le gothique américain
Authors: Liénard Marie
Published: February 2022

Résumé Dans le contexte américain, « le gothique » représente bien plus qu’une sous-culture. Il recouvre tout un imaginaire esthétique et culturel d’une grande puissance. A travers de nombreux exemples empruntés à la littérature et au cinéma, l’auteur montre comment il articule les terreurs individuelles et collectives en permettant une sorte de catharsis.
Les « hussards » dans les années noires
Authors: Fontaine Juliette
Published: February 2022

Cet article propose de saisir les modalités de la mise en œuvre des politiques de Vichy par le corps enseignant en s’inscrivant dans la lignée des recherches portant sur la street-level bureaucracy et les ressorts de l’obéissance et de la désobéissance dans les régimes autoritaires. En prêtant attention aux cadres sociaux, institutionnels et historiques dans lesquels les instituteurs évoluent, et notamment à leur ethos professionnel, l’article éclaire le comportement docile majoritairement adopté par ce groupe social durant la période 1941-1942 et les formes de désobéissance collectives qu’il développe de l’été 1942 à la fin du régime.
Autour de Justice digitale : rencontre avec Antoine Garapon et Jean Lassègue
Authors: Garapon Antoine , Lassègue Jean , Cornu-Thénard Nicolas
Published: February 2022

Paru en avril 2018, le livre Justice digitale d’Antoine Garapon et Jean Lassègue propose une analyse riche et suggestive des transformations qu’entraîne, sur la conception de la justice et du droit, l’introduction de l’écriture numérique. En examinant ces changements suivant des perspectives à la fois anthropologique, sociologique, politique et juridique, ils montrent comment s’élabore un modèle nouveau, qui tente d’organiser la résolution des litiges sans politique et sans loi. Les auteurs ont accepté de répondre à plusieurs questions que peut susciter la lecture de leur ouvrage.
La procédure d’appel face à la dialectique institutionnelle
Authors: Boyer Pierre-Louis
Published: February 2022

Boris Bernabé, « L’appel en matière civile. Achever la voie d’achèvement », Tribonien, 1 (2018), p.47 : « Le juge d’appel, il faut bien s’en pénétrer, est un censeur ; sa vocation consiste à consolider la structure politique d’un État par le contrôle et le respect de la hiérarchie judiciaire, en assurant un examen éclairé de l’office du premier juge : à la manière de la Cour suprême mais attaché à des circonstances de fait, il juge les jugements, et non les affaires. »
Le Consilium LIII de Charles Dumoulin et la législation européenne relative aux régimes matrimoniaux (règlement (UE) nº2016/1103)
Authors: Ancel Bertrand
Published: February 2022

Après avoir unifié et harmonisé les règles de conflit de juridictions relatives au divorce et à la responsabilité parentale, le droit international privé des obligations alimentaires, les règles de conflit de lois en matière de divorce, puis le droit international privé des successions, le législateur européen s’est attelé aux rapports patrimoniaux entre époux. Le règlement (UE) nº 2016/1103, qui est entré en vigueur le 29 janvier dernier, proclame ainsi l’unité de la loi applicable au régime matrimonial, quel que soit le lien de situation des biens du couple. Il semble s’écarter ainsi de la tradition juridique qui a longtemps perduré en France, et ce depuis le XVI e siècle. Cette tradition reposant sur une consultation de Charles Dumoulin, il nous a semblé intéressant de proposer une nouvelle publication de ce texte du célèbre consultant et avocat au parlement de Paris, qui a durablement irrigué la pensée juridique française. Nous remercions vivement Bertrand Ancel d’avoir accepté d’en faire une glose.
Le Premier ministre : discussion avec Dominique Rousseau
Authors: Rousseau Dominique , Laurent-Bonne Nicolas
Published: February 2022

La nomination de Jean Castex comme Premier ministre, le 3 juillet 2020, a immédiatement entraîné de nombreuses réactions. D’aucuns ont souligné la personnalité tout à la fois effacée et technocratique du nouveau Premier ministre, bien souvent qualifié de simple collaborateur du président de la République. En vérité, cette description peu flatteuse de l’homme d’État laisse entrevoir une controverse juridique et politique plus profonde sur la place et le rôle du Premier ministre sous la V e République auquel on promet « l’enfer de Matignon » 1 . Il nous a donc semblé utile de verser quelques arguments juridiques puisés dans des expériences passées et étrangères afin d’enrichir le débat. Nous remercions Dominique Rousseau d’avoir accepté de nous accorder cet entretien.
Endoscopic Extreme Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion With Large Spacers: A Technical Note and Preliminary Report
Authors: Eum Jin-Hwa , Park Jae-Hyun , Song Kwan-Su , Lee Sang-Mog , Suh Dong-Won , Jo Dae-Jean
Published: February 2022

This report describes a novel endoscopic fusion technique performed with unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) that is known as extreme transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (eXTLIF) and is performed with a large spacer. We also present the short-term results of this procedure. Previous studies reported that minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) could achieve acceptable rates of fusion; therefore, it is often used for treating various degenerative lumbar diseases. Moreover, MIS-TLIF can be performed with a unilateral approach; hence, it is commonly performed with the UBE technique. The biportal endoscopic TLIF procedure is usually performed with a single spacer in the interbody space. It is important to insert the maximum amount of graft material into the preparation site via an autologous bone marrow transplant or any other suitable substance with spacer insertion. Because MIS-TLIF with UBE is performed in water, it might provide an inadequate environment for excellent fusion. Therefore, a modified method was used to increase the surface contact area and insert the maximum amount of bone material with a larger spacer. However, the use of a large spacer necessitates a larger spacer orifice. For this purpose, eXTLIF was performed, which inserts the spacer more laterally compared with the current TLIF position. We report the surgical method and short-term results, which have been satisfactory thus far. [
