Steroid biosynthesis is an anabolic metabolic pathway that produces steroids from simple precursors. A unique biosynthetic pathway is followed in animals compared to many other organisms, making the pathway a common target for antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs.teroid ring system: The parent ABCD steroid ring system (hydrocarbon framework) is shown with IUPAC-approved ring lettering and atom numbering. A steroid is an organic compound with four rings arranged in a specific configuration.
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), also known as intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDTA) or IEA, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a catheter and a flexible electrode that is inserted into the affected disc in order to heat the entire posterior edge of the annulus.
The intrathecal pump is a small device that is surgically implanted under the skin. This device has a tiny battery-powered pump that is programmable and refillable. The nurse refills the pump every 1-3 months using a syringe and needle. The pump is connected to an intrathecal catheter that delivers tiny concentrated amounts of pain medicine to the spinal fluid. How is the intrathecal pump implanted? Before the permanent device is implanted, the pain management specialist will have you take an epidural trial.
