Fluvial terrace formation in a mountainous area (2): influence of eustatism, tectonics and altitudinal distribution of watersheds based on an allostratigraphic study (Albania) by Mugnier, Jean-Louis, Guzmán, Oswaldo, Vassallo, Riccardo,  Matraku, Kristina, Jouanne, François

“…The thickness of the sedimentary units above the strath surfaces is mostly influenced by the altitudinal distribution of the river catchments: thin strath terraces are found in the low elevation catchments, while thick fill terraces are found in large catchments and we suggest here that the deposition of fill terrace sediments occurred very rapidly at the cold-warm transitions when the high elevation areas of the large catchments were not protected by vegetation and heavily affected by hillslope processes that delivered a large volume of sediments. The thick Holocene valley fill, locally affected by fill-cut terraces, extends several tens kilometer within the mountain valleys and is probably linked to the mid-Holocene sea-level highstand.…”

Application of RhBMP-2 in Percutaneous Endoscopic Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion by Yunsheng Chen, Canhua Xu, Yaohong Wu, Jiangyou Shi, Rongchun Chen

“…Results There was no significant difference in hospital stay, surgical time, bleeding volume, and incidence of complications between the two groups (P > 0.05)0.12 months post-operation, the Prolo and JOA scores of both groups largely increased, which were significantly higher in the RhBMP-2 group than the control (P < 0.05). 12 months post-operation, the fusion rate in the RhBMP-2 group was 86.27%, which was significantly higher than that of 54.90% in the control group (P < 0.05). 12 months post-operation, the Cage displacement rate in the RhBMP-2 group was 5.88%, which was lower than that of 21.57% in the control group (P < 0.05). 12 months post-operation, the height of the intervertebral space in both groups largely increased, which was significantly higher in the RhBMP-2 group than in the control (P < 0.05). …”
