Abstract: BACKGROUND Expandable cages have been increasingly used in cervical and lumbar reconstructions, however there is a paucity in the literature on how they compare to traditional non-expandable cages in the cervical spine. We present a… read more here.

Abstract: Thoracostomy and pleurodesis are the mainstay of management for malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). However, pleurodesis may not be effective for patients with MPEs and non‐expandable lungs. Intrapleural chemotherapeutic agents such as hypotonic cisplatin are reportedly… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Introduction: Non-expandable lung (NEL) is a clinical condition where the lung fails to fully expand after pleural effusion drainage, due to pleural disease or bronchial obstruction. Despite its relevant clinical implications, NEL remains under-researched.… read more here.

Abstract: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) affects up to 15% of cancer patients, with nearly 30% of symptomatic cases developing non-expandable lung (NEL), a condition characterised by the lung's failure to fully re-expand post-drainage, thereby impeding proper… read more here.

DOI: 10.31616/asj.2022.0179
Abstract: Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion is considered the mainstay of surgical treatment in cervical pathology. Expandable and nonexpandable cages are preferred over autogenous bone graft because of donor-related morbidity. However, the choice of the cage… read more here.
