Abstract Solid resins (SR) are fully reactive resin systems that solid at room temperature. Up to a critical temperature they can be quasi‐infinitely molten and solidified without any relevant curing reaction. This study deals with novel SR‐based prepregs where dry textile is covered regular SR (uncured) pattern, allowing for storage draping The manufacturing of accurate pattern geometries the ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ESI) for management of central cervical spinal stenosis-induced posterior neck pain. METHODS This retrospective study recruited 45 patients with posterior neck pain caused by central cervical spinal stenosis. For the ESI procedure, a 21-gauge Touhy needle was inserted into the epidural space between C7 and T1, and...

Recent advances have established that intralaminar and interlaminar excitatory networks between neocortical pyramidal cells are specialized into subnetworks. Here, we have investigated how the commissural system organizes the intracortical excitatory subnetworks to communicate between cortical hemispheres. Whole-cell recordings were obtained from callosal projection neurons [commissural (COM) c...

The present study concerns experimental and fin ite element analysis of carbon epoxy and carbon epoxy carbon nanotube composites to estimate interlaminar shear strength. Mechanical properties such as elastic ratios, thickness are varied for double notched specimen and the corresponding deflections and interlaminar shear strengths are estimated by ANSYS. From simple ru le of mixtures, equivalent...

To the Editor: Two articles, one by Botwin (1) and the other by Manchikanti (2), in the January 2004 edition of Pain Physician helped confirm that patterns of epidural injections exist, depending on the site of injection among other variables. Botwin concluded that ventral spread, considered the target site, only occurs 36% of the time with interlaminar injections, and bilateral spread only 16%...

The neocortical circuit is composed of excitatory principal neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Recent advances have established that multiple subnetworks of synaptically coupled excitatory neurons provide distinct pathways for information flow through the cortical circuit. Here we have investigated how inhibitory interneurons are incorporated into these excitatory subnetworks in the rat front...

BACKGROUND Intraforaminal disc herniations at the L5-S1 level are extremely surgically challenging lesions. Intracanal approaches frequently require partial or total facetectomy, which may lead to instability. Solely extraforaminal approaches may offer limited visualization of the more medial superiorly exiting and inferiorly exiting nerve roots; this approach is also more complicated at L5-S1 ...
