IDET (Intradiscal Electrothermal Annuloplasty) [1] is a recently developed minimally invasive form of annuloplasty consisting of the insertion of a hollow needle into the affected disc. Through this needle, a heating wire is passed. Once the wire has reached the disc, it is heated to 90 °C for approximately fifteen minutes.

Jensen and colleagues, in an MRI study of the lumbar spine in 98 asymptomatic adults, found that in more than half, there was a symmetrical extension of a disc (or discs) beyond the margins of the interspace (bulging). In 27 percent, there was a focal or asymmetrical extension of the disc beyond the margin of the interspace (protrusion), and in ...

Oftentimes, people with AF start with what are called paroxysmal events, which means AF suddenly comes and goes, lasting less than a week at a time, probably because the tissue is still relatively healthy. Repeated paroxysmal events that occur over longer periods of time, though, tend to stress the atrial cells even more.
[10] [23] This results in vasodilation, flushing, pupillary constriction and nasal stuffiness above the spinal lesion. Below the lesion, piloerection, paleness, and cool skin occur due to the prevailing sympathetic outflow. [10] This issue is much more prominent for lesions at or above the T6 level.
Spondylodiscitis is the most common complication of sepsis or local infection, usually in the form of an abscess. [2] The main causative organisms are staphylococci, but potential organisms include a large number of bacteria, fungi, zoonoses. [2]
A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.
