Outcomes of Surgical Decompression for Spinal Metastases from Gynecological Cancers: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND & AIM: Gynecological cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Nonetheless, spinal metastasis from gynecological cancer is scarcely reported in the literature. In cases of spinal cord compression, the standard treatment is a decompressive surgery followed by radiotherapy treatment for selected patients. This study aimed to report the overall survival and surgical re...

Posterolateral Corner of the Knee:Current Concepts

       Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) comprise a significant portion of knee ligament injuries. A high index of suspicion is necessary when evaluating the injured knee to detect these sometimes occult injuries. Moreover, a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive review of radiographic studies are necessary to identify these injuries. In this sense, stress radiographs can ...

Another proof of Banaschewski's surjection theorem

We present a new proof of Banaschewski's theorem stating that the completion lift of a uniform surjection is a surjection. The new procedure allows to extend the fact (and, similarly, the related theorem on closed uniform sublocales of complete uniform frames) to quasi-uniformities ("not necessarily symmetric uniformities"). Further, we show how a (regular) Cauchy point on a closed uniform subl...

Rehabilitation of Existing Seawall in Fujairah to Withstand Cyclone Conditions

This paper presents the results of studies performed to rehabilitate an existing seawall in Fujairah to withstand cyclone Gonu condition. The exiting section has not been designed for the cyclone Gonu condition. A desktop study was implemented to assess the functionality of the existing section by applying the methods recommended in the applicable standards and guidelines. This assessment sho...
