Neurologic recovery from thoracolumbar burst fractures: is it predicted by the amount of initial canal encroachment and kyphotic deformity?
The neurologic recovery from thoracolumbar burst fractures is not predicted by the amount of initial canal encroachment and kyphotic deformity. When deciding on the treatment for patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures, both neurologic function and spinal stability should be taken into account.
The suppressed levels of early and late follicular serum LH in women <40 years of age with normal ovarian function desensitized with a GnRH-a and treated with recombinant FSH are not predictive of ovarian response, pregnancy, or delivery. These data do not support the use of exogenous LH supplementation in this clinical scenario.
