Influence of decompression by laminotomy and percutaneous tansforaminal endoscopic surgery on postoperative wound healing, pain intensity, and lumbar function in elderly patients w... by Haiyang Zhu, Yuan Liu, Yijing Wang, Denghui Xu, Zhe Zhao, Xuejian Wu

“…Purpose To compare the wound healing, pain intensity and lumbar function in elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis after laminectomy decompression or percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 65 patients who underwent laminotomy and 69 patients who underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic spinal decompression surgery. clinical data analysis, including surgical parameters, complications, postoperative wound healing, pain intensity, lumbar function, and correlation analysis, was performed.Results The operative time of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery was significantly shorter than that of laminotomy (70.78±6.80 min vs 128.97±4.70 min, p < 0.001), intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced (94.22± 7.69ml vs 327.68± 6.44ml, p < 0.001), postoperative wound healing time and time to get out of bed were significantly shortened, pain was reduced by visual analog scale (3.48±1.11 vs 2.80±1.05, p = 0.007), the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was significantly increased, and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score showed significantly decrease. …”

Comparison of acoustic recorders and field observers for monitoring tundra bird communities by Skyler T. Vold, Colleen M. Handel, Lance B. McNew

“…Models indicated that relative abundance of various avian guilds was associated primarily with maximum shrub height and less so with shrub cover and visual obstruction. The absence of a significant interaction between survey method (observer vs. acoustic recorder) and any habitat characteristic suggests that traditional point counts and acoustic recorders would yield similar inferences about ecological relationships in tundra ecosystems. …”

Latent spectral-spatial diffusion model for single hyperspectral super-resolution by Yingsong Cheng, Yong Ma, Fan Fan, Jiayi Ma, Yuan Yao, Xiaoguang Mei

“…In recent years, significant advances have been achieved in addressing super-resolution (SR) tasks for hyperspectral images, primarily through deep learning-based methodologies. Nevertheless, methods oriented toward optimizing peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) often tend to drive the SR image to an average of several possible SR predictions, resulting in visually over-smoothed outputs. …”
