Authors: Yuningsih Dwi , Setiawan Danur
Published: October 2023

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) is the focal narrowing of the spinal canal. Nerve root canal or intervertebral foramina which many elderly suffer from, is characterized by pain, disability, risk of falling and depression. The incidence of LSS is estimated to increase along with the increase in the number of the elderly population. Patients with LSS symptoms are more effective at getting operative with the installation of a specific inplant or by decompression surgery with or without fusion than conservative intervention that continue to be performed whenever three to six months of conservative measures fail. Because the gradually slow progression of the disease naturally and the complications of the surgical procedure, it is recommended that conservative management such as physiotherapy intervention be performed before surgical intervention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of manual therapy and exercise on pain scores and functional abilities of patients with LSS before receiving surgery. The research method is quantitatively experimental. The research sample amounted to 30 people taken with a non-random sampling technique from a spine clinic patient at the Orthopedic Orthopedic Hospital Prof. Dr. R. Soeharso Surakarta. The effect of physiotherapy intervention on pain was measured by a visual analoge scale (VAS) and functional ability was measured with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). results are analyzed by t-test. The results of this study showed the influence of manual therapy and exercise statistically significant on pain (p = 0.000) and functional ability (p = 0.000). In the questions of each session, there was an influence on: pain intensity, lifting activity, sitting and no effect of physiotherapy actions on self-care sessions, walking, standing, sleeping, sexual activity, social life and traveling/traveling. Manual therapy and exercises affect the reduction of pain and the improvement of the functional ability of LSS patients.

Authors: La Boane La Almahdi , Setiawan Danur , Rahim Anita Faradila
Published: October 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) merupakan kerusakan sendi (kartilago) secara progresif oleh faktor degeneratif, obesitas, traumatic dan arthritis itu sendiri. OA dapat terjadi pada siapa saja, dan umumnya akan dialami oleh lansia terutama wanita yang disebabkan oleh penurunan hormon estrogen sehingga menyebabkan berkurangnya asupan nutrisi dan metabolisme pada tubuh. Nyeri pada lutut biasanya akan bertambah jika terjadi pembebanan berlebihan pada sendi oleh faktor obesitas ataupun tingginya aktivitas seperti berdiri dalam jangka waktu lama, naik serta turun tangga. Secara umum penderita OA lutut dengan keluhan nyeri biasanya dialami oleh individu yang memiliki kondisi obesitas ataupun memiliki aktivitas yang tinggi bahkan pada beberapa kondisi keluhan nyeri bisa disebabkan oleh kombinasi keduanya. Secara fisiologis ketika penderita OA lutut mengalami nyeri hal tersebut akan berbanding lurus dengan penurunan mobilitas. Metode Penelitian ini merupakan case report yang dilakukan di RS Ortopedi Prof. Dr. R. Soeharso Surakarta. Pada artikel ini dilakukan, pemeriksaan hingga pemilihan intervensi yang disesuaikan dengan hasil yang telah didapatkan. Bentuk pemeriksaan dan pengukuran yang dilakukan diantaranya: nyeri (Numeric Pain Rating Scale).

Análisis de productividad, costes y efectos ambientales de las claras mecanizadas selectivas y sistemáticas sobre monte bajo de rebollo (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) con el cabezal Bracke c16.c en Villar de Ciervos (León, España)
Authors: Herguido Sevillano Lucía
Published: October 2023

Los montes bajos de Quercus pyrenaica Willd. en España son actualmente masas densas y de salud frágil por factores como la competición, plagas o incendios. La realización de claras es interesante por la salud de la masa y por reducir los incendios, a la vez que producen productos forestales. Sin embargo, estas apenas se realizan por la baja productividad, altos costes y precios bajos de biomasa.

Se probaron dos métodos de claras, selectivo (S) y “boom-corridor” (BC), en un monte bajo de Q. pyrenaica denso y de pequeño diámetro con una taladora-apiladora multiárbol (TAM). El tiempo por árbol extraído no fue diferente entre métodos; sin embargo, BC muestra una productividad 48.6% mayor (BC = 4.43 ts·hp-1 vs. S = 2.99 ts·hp-1). Esto se debe principalmente al peso unitario medio extraído (psuextr), siendo un 42% mayor en BC debido a la menor selectividad. Cuando se compara la productividad dentro del rango común de psuextr, la productividad es un 16–23% mayor en BC. El consumo de combustible fue diferente debido a un mayor psuextr en BC y mayor número de pies extraídos en S.

La masa restante fue diferente en densidad final (mayor en BC) y en el diámetro medio final (mayor en S), mientras que el peso de las claras fue el mismo. La frecuencia e intensidad de daños a la vegetación en pie tras la corta no fue diferente entre métodos, pero sí tras la saca. En principio el riesgo de incendio no aumentó recién realizadas las claras.
Modelización de la madurez forestal en base a datos del Inventario Forestal Nacional y el escáner láser terrestre
Authors: Molina Valero Juan Alberto
Published: October 2023

Este resumen gráfico representa una síntesis de la tesis doctoral, donde las gráficas ejemplifican cómo la madurez (o grado de naturalidad) forestal, desde un punto de vista cuantificable y por lo tanto monitorizable, puede ser estimada en base a diferentes parámetros hipotéticos (p. ej. ,  y ). Sin embargo, tal y como se observa en la figura, estos parámetros pueden comportarse de diferentes formas a lo largo de un gradiente de madurez. Pongamos el caso de un hipotético parámetro  que podría alcanzar su valor máximo para un cierto grado de madurez, valor máximo que a su vez puede depender de las condiciones del sitio, como por ejemplo la calidad de estación (gráfico de la izquierda). Sin embargo, distintos parámetros probablemente muestren diferentes comportamientos a lo largo del gradiente de madurez forestal, manifestando diversas tendencias y alcanzando sus valores máximos para diferentes grados de madurez (gráfica de la derecha). Esta tesis ocupa el nicho de investigación relacionado con la modelización de algunos de estos parámetros de madurez como son el stock de biomasa y la estructura, utilizando para ello parcelas experimentales necesarias para probar las hipótesis de partida y datos del Inventario Forestal Nacional. Además, se utilizaron tecnologías novedosas en la monitorización de los bosques como el escáner láser terrestre (TLS). Esto propició la necesidad de desarrollar una herramienta capaz de procesar y analizar los datos del TLS, naciendo así el paquete de R FORTLS, considerado uno de los principales frutos de este trabajo de tesis doctoral.

The Impact of Postpartum Mothers' Stress and Motivation on Breastfeeding Practice
Authors: Astuti Maya , Nurfurqoni Fuadah Ashri , S. Enung Harni
Published: October 2023

Stress in postpartum mothers affects the production and pattern of breastfeeding. Postpartum mothers with high stress levels will have low self-efficacy, which then affects the breastfeeding pattern of their babies. This study aimed to determine the effect of postpartum mothers' stress levels on breastfeeding practices. This research method uses a correlation study through observation or data collection at one time (point time approach)—a sample of 80 mothers 1-6 weeks postpartum. Data was collected with the DASS (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) questionnaire and breastfeeding. The research location is PMB East Cilendek and Tanah Sareal, Bogor City. The place was chosen because the failure rate of exclusive breastfeeding is high in that area. The independent variables in the study were postpartum maternal stress, motivation, and health education. The independent variable is breastfeeding in infants. Data analysis used the Lambda contingency coefficient test. Stress in postpartum mothers significantly affects the pattern of breastfeeding in infants. The confounding variables in this study were the motivation to breastfeed and the health education about breastfeeding that mothers had received. For this reason, health workers must be able to educate families, especially husbands, so that they can provide adequate social support to reduce stress on postpartum mothers so that the process of breastfeeding babies can run well.

Trophic state (TS) characterizes a waterbody’s biological productivity and depends on its morphometry, physics, chemistry, biology, climate, and history. However, multiple TS operational definitions have emerged to meet use-specific classification needs. These differing operational definitions can create inconsistent understanding, can lead to miscommunication, and can result in siloed management strategies for TS. For example, some regulatory agencies use TS to signify ecological integrity as opposed to biological productivity, where TS classification may trigger intervention efforts. These inconsistencies may be compounded when interdisciplinary projects employ varied TS frameworks. To emphasize the consequences of using multiple TS classification schemes, we present three scenarios for which an improved understanding of the TS concept could advance limnological research, management efforts, and interdisciplinary collaboration. As the field of limnology continues to expand, we highlight the importance of re-evaluating even the most fundamental limnological concepts, such as TS, to ensure congruence with evolving, cutting-edge science.

Belief updates, learning and adaptive decision making
Authors: Frömer Romy , Nassar Matt R.
Published: October 2023

How do I decide which restaurant to eat at? How do I form and update the beliefs about the world that shape my behavior, from my food preferences to career path? The brain makes decisions large and small that shape our lives and experience. Most of these decisions are based on learned expectations about the world, or beliefs, that are updated dynamically according to ongoing experience. In this article we examine the cognitive, computational, and neural mechanisms that underlie learning and decision making. We first summarize the key advances in our understanding of learning and decision-making research separately and then re-evaluate these findings within a general computation-centered framework.
Additive effects of emotional expression and stimulus size on the perception of genuine and artificial facial expressions: An ERP study
Authors: Ziereis Annika C. , Schacht Anne
Published: October 2023

Seeing an angry individual in close physical proximity can not only result in a larger retinal representation of that individual and an enhanced resolution of emotional cues, but may also increase motivation for rapid visual processing and action preparation. The present study investigated the effects of stimulus size and emotional expression on the perception of happy, angry, non-expressive, and scrambled faces. We analyzed event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral responses of N = 40 participants who performed a naturalness classification task on real and artificially created facial expressions. While the emotion-related effects on accuracy for recognizing authentic expressions were modulated by stimulus size, ERPs showed only additive effects of stimulus size and emotional expression, with no significant interaction with size. This contrasts with previous research on emotional scenes and words. Effects of size were present in all included ERPs, whereas emotional expressions affected the N170, EPN, and LPC, irrespective of size. These results imply that the decoding of emotional valence in faces can occur even for small stimuli. Supra-additive effects in faces may necessitate larger size ranges or dynamic stimuli that increase arousal.

Authors: Gupta Rahul , Saraf Deepika
Published: October 2023

The rapid progress of online social media platforms has fundamentally reshaped how persons connect, communicate, and share information. While these platforms offer incomparable opportunities for worldwide interaction, their exponential development has introduced complex challenges concerning security and privacy. This research investigates into the complex landscape of online social media, addressing the supreme significance of safeguarding user privacy and enhancing security measures. By examining key concepts, theories, and case studies, this study puts light on the subtle balance between users' expectations of privacy and the susceptibilities essential in data collection, profiling, and cyber threats. The research examines -pivotal case studies, such as the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal (2018) and the Twitter hack of 2020, to illustrate the deep implications of privacy breaches and security compromises. Through the synthesis of insights from theoretical frameworks and regulatory responses, this study presents a complete perspective on the relationship between privacy and security, underscoring the need of informed user consent, transparent data governance, and strong security mechanisms. The findings contribute to an enhanced understanding of the complex dynamics within online social media platforms, providing actionable recommendations for cultivating a safer and safer digital environment. As technology continues to advance, this research offers valuable insights for navigating the evolving challenges of the digital age while upholding fundamental principles of user privacy and data protection.

Human beings, monkeys from the Old and New World, make up the mammals belonging to the Primate Order, the latter being exclusive to the American continent and of arboreal habits. With the advances in research in the areas of medicine and biomedicine, the demand for raising primates in captivity has increased significantly, so the well-being of non-human primates has become the target of studies by the scientific community. The skeleton is made up of bones and their joints. It is divided into two portions: the axial portion, formed by the skull, vertebrae, ribs and sternum, and the appendicular portion, formed by the thoracic and pelvic limbs. The cells responsible for the formation and integration of these matrices are osteoblasts. However, when they are coated by the matrices, they are called osteocytes, which are responsible for maintaining healthy bone tissue and ensuring isocalcemia (calcium balance). Metabolic bone diseases result from the imbalance between some of these elements and can affect human and non-human primates, as well as other species such as birds, reptiles, amphibians and, of course, other mammals. If calcium levels become unbalanced, the body can develop osteodystrophies over time, that is, lesions in bone tissue caused by an exacerbated increase in bone resorption and consequent weakening of the skeleton. The present case report aims to describe a condition of osteodystrophy secondary to failure in nutritional management in a female Callithrix jacchus (Linnaeus, 1758).

This article aims to identify changes in the quality of refrigerated raw milk after 24h, 48h and 72h kept in cold chamber sample collection vials, based on the analysis of Somatic Cell Count (SCC), Standard Plate Count (SPC), fats and proteins. A total of 15 samples of refrigerated raw milk were collected from individual and collective expansion tanks of different producers in the municipalities of Jaupaci and Fazenda Nova, Goiás (Brazil), and quality analyses were performed at the Milk Quality Laboratory of the Food Research Center of the Federal University of Goiás (LQL-CPA). The results of the analyses were statistically analyzed by Tukey's test at a significance level of 5%. None of the parameters analyzed showed statistical difference between the times evaluated, although more changes were observed in proportion to how poor the milk quality was at the initial time of collection. The results indicate that milks from collective tanks present worse levels of CCS and CBT, and may present small changes at 72h of storage, which does not prevent the collection of this milk by the industry.
STRATEGY OF SELF-PRESENTATION OF THE MODERN UKRAINIAN POLITICIAN: THE PRAGMALINGUISTIC DIMENSION
Authors: Zavalniuk I , Bohatko V
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes one of the speech strategies - the strategy of self-presentation, which is actively used in modern Ukrainian political discourse. It has been established that the question of the role of political discourse, in particular the influence of the linguistic personality of a Ukrainian politician on the formation of the country's internal and external political image, is becoming particularly relevant today, given the conditions of the multinational and multilingual situation that has developed in Ukraine, on the one hand, and the full-scale invasion of the russian federation to our land, on the other hand. In such conditions, the mechanisms of self-representation, the tactics of implementing the linguistic influence of government representatives on the citizens of the state are changing, which needs to be studied. The scientific investigation clarified the role of self-presentation in the formation of the linguistic personality of the Ukrainian politician, analyzed the main mechanisms of this communicative strategy and the pragmalinguistic specifics of its implementation in today's conditions. Emphasis is placed on the interdependence, mutual subordination of the content of the communicative strategy of self-presentation of a linguistic personality and a wide range of communication methods and communicative intentions of self-presenters. It was established that the tactics of identification, self-praise, demonstration of professional success and promises serve as means of actualizing the strategy of self-presentation, the application of which is outlined by certain linguistic means. The specificity of the mentioned tactics is clarified and a description of lexical and grammatical means is presented, which are important in the formation of the strategy of self-presentation of the linguistic personality, since they significantly emphasize not only the communicative and situational features of the speech of individual politicians, but also the authorial discourses of political figures within the limits of various tactics. We see the perspective of the research in studying the mechanisms of implementation of other communicative strategies in the linguistic activity of famous Ukrainian politicians, delineating the pragmalinguistic specificity of their statements, taking into account the intentions of the addressee and the peculiarities of the perception of information by the addressee.

Authors: Onufrienko O , Berezovenko A
Published: October 2023

Lifetime publications of T. Shevchenko's are priceless relics of Ukrainian literature and culture, which are authentic lists of his works, with handwritten corrections. There are many studies and comments on his work, but only a small number of specialists know the history of the composition of "Kobzar" in 1840, "Kobzar" in 1860. The interesting story of the publication of "Chihyrynskyi Kobzar" and the poem "Haydamaka" in 1847. "Bukvar yuzhnorusskyi" stands out among the contemporary editions, because it is a study guide for both adults and children to study the Ukrainian language. This book was compiled by Shevchenko for Sunday schools and published at his expense in 1861, with a very large circulation of 10,000 copies. An interesting lifetime publication of "Kobzar" from 1860, edited by M. Gerbel, translated by Russian poets: Mai, Mikhailov, Pleshcheev, Gerbel, Kurochkin. It was one of the main sources of acquaintance of the Russian reader with the poetry of T. Shevchenko during the 19th and 20th centuries. The history of the pocket book "Kobzaryk", which was transported to Ukraine illegally after the Emsk Decree of 1876, reveals the true position of the Ukrainian word in the Russian Empire. This little book was shipped hidden in Awadi cigarette paper measuring 85x55 ml from Geneva. Although this is not a lifetime publicaion, it was released without Russian censorship. To date, "Kobzar" has been reprinted more than 8 million times and has been translated into 100 languages. T. Shevchenko became a symbol of Ukrainian identity and originality.
PEDAGOGICAL SHIFT IN CONTEMPORARY FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: BASED ON MULTI-CULTURAL / LINGUAL DATA SETS
Authors: Chaika O I
Published: October 2023

The presented research looks at the possibility of implementing some good practices’ in the foreign language teaching (FLT) at the tertiary level of education. Also, it is emphasized that the FLT curricula require a deeper plunge into culture studies, which results in strengthening the multicultural and multilingual component in education. Having studied, implemented, adjusted various sets of methods and techniques for FLT in multinational classroom, which, not so long ago, were recognized most effective, the survey findings and questionnaires make it hard to agree. These days students claim that the educational system appears outdated and they cannot boast of motivation and drive to perform well in class. Among the reasons are issues with discipline, time management, skill sets, unpredictable situations, which challenge stress resilience and emotional regulation. No longer knowledge-based approach in FLT may meet the goals of the learner. In digital era, any sort of information may be found online immediately upon request, and the digital skills of students are often well developed. What will make and/or keep them motivated, how can the students feel passionate about their study and perform well or high in their learning curve? – are just a few questions, which modern FL teachers ask themselves and each other. The paper, via distinguishing the difference between the terms of multiculturalism, multilingualism, plurilingualism, as well as task- and people-oriented approaches of leadership theories, discusses possible solutions and presents templates / models of effective communication and building trust between the teacher and the student in multinational class. Also, a part of the model filled in with students’ possible answers may help shape the vision how the pedagogical shift in education through effective out-of-class communication in foreign language teaching may become a game-changer in the educational paradigms.

Self-Directed Learning and Web-Based English Access to Improve EFL Speaking Skills
Authors: Butarbutar Ranta
Published: October 2023

For millennial learners, SDL and self-access English study on the web are interesting learning options. Physical space and separation are anticipated since web-based learning may be accessed at any time and from any place. The present study's goal is to find out what kinds of English-language websites students use to improve their speaking skills. Additionally, it is anticipated to look at how learners' perceptions of their speaking skills (cognitive, emotional, and complex) grow as a result of self-directed learning for web-based English access. Due to the improvement in their speaking abilities for SDL and web-based English access, fourth-year undergraduate students in the Indonesian English department were the subjects of the research. The ATLAS.ti application benefits from the thematic analysis of the collected internet data. Three speaking improvement characteristics may be supported by the findings: (1) cognition, fluency, and accuracy outcomes; (2) emotional and motivational outcomes; and (3) learners' problems while using SDL web-based learning. Our study has certain limits, however, and we highly advise participatory action research for future work to assess time management and tailor learning tactics to the level of the learner. The English-language site design will be addressed last.

A fuel cell power generation system is a renewable energy system that works based on electrochemical processes and produces a direct electric current (DC). Specifically, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell can operate at low temperatures and produce an efficiency of around 40-60%. In this study, the performance test of the PEM Fuel Cell for power generation was carried out by supplying hydrogen gas using hydrogen from the electrolysis of the hydrogen generator with a variation of KOH catalyst solution with a concentration of 0.5 M; 1.0 M; 1.5 M; 2 M and using Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen with various flow rates of 250 mL/min, 300 mL/min, 350 mL/min, 400 mL/min, 450 mL/min, and 500 mL/min. The test results showed that the output power of hydrogen produced by the electrolysis process was 10.8 W at a concentration of 1 M solutions at an input current of 20 A. The greater the concentration of the catalyst solution, the smaller the electrical power required for the electrolysis process. However, the hydrogen power supply produced by the hydrogen generator was not optimal, so it did not meet the needs of the PEM Fuel Cell. As a result, the PEM Fuel Cell could not work. Meanwhile, testing with UHP hydrogen produced the highest electrical power of 31.588 W at a flow rate of 450 mL/min with a load of 20 W. It indicates that the PEM Fuel Cell is optimal at the output power value with an efficiency of 69.80%.

The genesis of stratiform deposits of lead and barite in sedimentary rocks is of great interest from the point of view of replenishing reserves of polymetallic ores. The aim of the work is to establish the regularity of the hydrogenic formation of ores in limestones, taking into account the influence of the nanosurface of pores and cracks based on a mathematical model of the movement and characteristics of ore-bearing solutions in the pores. The thicknesses of the surface layer of limestones and minerals included in the ore-containing strata and sulfide minerals are calculated. The results indicate that they are nanostructures with special physical properties different from the rest of the substance, which is confirmed by the regularity of the formation of a heavy sulfur isotope in ores of various textural types. The influence of hydrotherms with different densities, kinematic viscosity, and velocity on the intensity of mineralization formation in cracks and pores of limestone, as well as the occurrence of new feathering cracks around the fractures of dismemberment, is estimated. The dependence of the hydrothermal flow density on the diffusion of the liquid is established. The equation of kinematic viscosity is derived from the pressure in the solution flow, the velocity of its movement, the mass of particles of ore-forming elements, and sulfur isotopes under thermodynamic conditions of determined Gibbs energies. The relationship of the viscosity of the solution with the surface tension of the nanolayer of limestone particles in cracks and pores is shown, indicating that the greater this energy, the greater the velocity of movement of ore-forming solutions, the fewer branches of newly formed cracks around the dissection crack. The mathematical model is applicable for the numerical analysis of the regularity of mineralization in cracks, taking into account the influence of the nanostructural layer of cracks and pores of limestone in the thermodynamic conditions of the occurrence of an ore-bearing formation.

According to the earlier conclusions about the possibility of direct processing of high-sulfur copper concentrates with copper-lead matte, analysis of the thermal regime of converting was carried out. It is shown that the traditional calculation methods used to calculate autogenous smelting are not entirely correct and require taking into account the effect of excess sulfur on the temperature regime of the process. It has been established that in the process of converting copper-lead mattes, a wide range of temperature variation is observed - from 1027 0С to 1300 0С. When the concentrate is combined with the matte, the temperature regime of the process is stabilized, which ensures the optimal level of SO2 concentration in the gases required for the production of sulfuric acid. Based on the calculation of the material balance of converting copper-lead mattes using the existing technology and with the addition of a concentrate, the structure of the heat balance of the converting process was established. A strong change in the structure of the heat balance is shown, which is explained by the reduction of magnetite with excess sulfur and an increase in heat due to the oxidation of an additional amount of iron sulfide introduced with the concentrate. A comparative analysis of the technological parameters of the 1st converting period of copper-lead mattes calculated by the proposed method with the practical data of a specific metallurgical unit allows assessing the degree of approximation of the processes occurring in the unit until the thermodynamic equilibrium.

Desde el contexto de la pandemia del virus COVID-19, que surgió a finales de 2019 y se extendió a nivel global con los confinamientos masivos a principios de 2020, el objetivo principal de este texto es analizar cómo las personas incorporaron el confinamiento y las medidas de seguridad sanitaria implementadas por países de todo el mundo en su vida cotidiana, con el propósito de mitigar la propagación del virus. Asimismo, se abordará cómo en su momento los temores se manifestaron en relación a un virus que ha transformado las sociedades como un fenómeno sin precedentes en este siglo. Para lograr este objetivo, se plantea una discusión sociocultural de carácter local en el estado de Chiapas. Esta discusión se basa en el análisis de contenido de diversas fuentes de prensa y medios de comunicación, así como en conversaciones informales con habitantes de las zonas donde se llevaron a cabo algunos eventos, en los cuales muchas personas propusieron respuestas comunales arraigadas en imaginarios y tradiciones culturales variadas para atenuar los temores surgidos durante la pandemia. Este fenómeno ha llevado a que las corporeidades, los cuerpos como receptores y encarnaciones, se presenten como espacios de tensiones que nos permiten comprender las estrategias culturales desarrolladas por los grupos sociales y culturales en respuesta a estas realidades.
A multilevel posterior tension band–sparing laminectomy for intraspinal lesions: patient series

BACKGROUND

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) represents a major development in spinal tumor surgery. However, considering that many intradural lesions compromise multiple spinal segments, MISS has certain limitations. Thus, some intraspinal lesions still require traditional approaches. Because laminectomy has been shown to predispose patients to kyphosis, laminoplasty and hemilaminectomy are the most widely used approaches to preserve the posterior tension band (PTB). However, these techniques are not devoid of complications. To overcome these issues, the authors modified a previously described technique to preserve the PTB while removing various types of intradural lesions. This procedure was originally designed to treat lumbar stenosis and was modified to avoid muscle ischemia during long procedures.

OBSERVATIONS

Between 2014 and 2021, the authors found 17 cases of spinal lesions with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up after surgical treatment using their approach. No significant postoperative changes in the paraspinal Goutallier grade or spinal angles were observed. The cross-sectional area of the measured paraspinal muscles decreased 6% postoperatively. By performing certain technical modifications in this PTB-sparing (PBS) laminectomy, the authors avoided ipsilateral muscle ischemia.

LESSONS

In this initial series, PBS laminectomy proved to be a safe, versatile, inexpensive, and reliable technique to remove intraspinal lesions.
