Percutaneous single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy of canine intervertebral disc: is there a potential for in situ probing of mineral degeneration?
Percutaneous SfRS may be useful as an in situ sensing tool for assessing the level of mineral degeneration in intervertebral discs for the prospect of disc-specific dosage adjustment in PLDA.
Fibrinogen is a novel independent prognostic biomarker in MPM. Most importantly, fibrinogen predicted treatment benefit achieved by surgery within multimodality therapy.
