OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to use different segments of the cervical spine in cadavers to determine how much lateral mass should be resected for adequate foraminal decompression.METHODS: Six cadavers were used.The region of the cervical spine from C1 to the C7-T1 transition was dissected and exposed.The lateral mass of each vertebra was mea
Successful regeneration of large segmental bone defects remains a major challenge in clinical orthopedics, thus it is of important significance to fabricate a suitable alternative material to stimulate bone regeneration.Due to their excellent biocompatibility, sufficient mechanical strength, and similar structure and composition of natural bone, th
Reversal learning is thought to involve an extinction-like process that inhibits the expression of the initial learning.However, behavioral evidence for this inhibition remains difficult to interpret as various procedures have been employed to study reversal learning.Here, we used a discrimination task in rats to examine whether the inhibition prod
Complementary foods based on habitual cereals such as maize have been linked with the promotion of undernutrition in young children.Blending the starchy-rich maize with nutritious-rich indigenous food such as oyster mushroom could improve the nutritional composition of complementary foods.This study investigated the effectiveness and suitability of
