  2. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cervical...

    Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure to treat nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing the spinal cord and nerve roots of the cervical spine with a discectomy, followed by inter-vertebral fusion to stabilize the corresponding vertebrae. [1]

  3. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.

  4. Philadelphia chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_chromosome

    The BCR-ABL1 fusion gene and protein encoded by the Philadelphia chromosome affects multiple signaling pathways that directly affect apoptotic potential, cell division rates, and different stages of the cell cycle to achieve unchecked proliferation characteristic of CML and ALL.

  5. Prism fusion range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_fusion_range

    The prism fusion range (PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision in the presence of increasing vergence demands.

  6. Halo-gravity traction device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo-gravity_traction_device

    Patients are capable of remaining somewhat active using a wheelchair or a walker whilst undergoing treatment. Most of the research suggests that HGT is a safe treatment, and it can even improve patients' nutrition or respiratory functioning. However, some patients may experience side effects such as headaches or

  7. Failed back syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_back_syndrome

    Failed back syndrome or post-laminectomy syndrome is a condition characterized by chronic pain following back surgeries. [1] [2] Many factors can contribute to the onset or development of FBS, including residual or recurrent spinal disc herniation, persistent post-operative pressure on a spinal nerve, altered joint mobility, joint hypermobility with instability, scar tissue (), depression ...
