“PictureWhat” ??? Super-Human Poison Ivy. What’s Going On?
By MIKE MAGEE
Connecticut loves its’ trees. And no town in Connecticut loves its’ trees more than West Hartford, CT. The town borders include an elaborate interconnected reservoir system that does double duty as a focal point for a wide range of nature paths for walkers, runners and cyclists.

Cervical laminoplasty versus laminectomy and posterior cervical fusion for cervical myelopathy: propensity-matched analysis of 24-month outcomes from the Quality Outcomes Database
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with PCF, laminoplasty was associated with decreased blood loss, decreased length of hospitalization, and higher rates of home discharge. At 3 months, laminoplasty was associated with a higher rate of return to baseline activities. At 24 months, laminoplasty was associated with greater improvements in neck disability. Otherwise, laminoplasty and PCF shared similar outcomes for functional status, pain, quality of life, and satisfaction. Laminoplasty and PCF achieved similar neck pain scores, suggesting that moderate preoperative neck pain may not necessarily be a contraindication for laminoplasty.PMID:...

S-1 as an alternative treatment after 5-fluorouracil-induced coronary vasospasm in a patient with small bowel adenocarcinoma: a case report
Abstract5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic agent used worldwide to treat various solid tumors. It may cause adverse cardiotoxic events, the most common of which is coronary vasospasm. Recently, the 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines for metastatic colorectal cancer recommended S-1 as an alternative therapy after 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity; however, only limited data on Asian patients are available. Here, we report a case of safe administration of S-1 to a 72-year-old Japanese female patient with metastatic small bowel adenocarcinoma who developed 5-FU-induced coronary vasospasm. While receiving...
