sm of infection in lumbosacral fusion. Novel approaches to prophylaxis and prevention should be prioritized in this population.Level of Evidence 3. Individualized infection prevention strategies tailored to operative level are needed in spine surgery. Endogenous wound contamination with enteric flora may be a common mechanism of infection in lumbosacral fusion. Novel approaches to prophylaxis and prevention should be prioritized in this population.Level of Evidence 3. A bibliometric review of current literature. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles in spinal disc arthroplasty (SDA) research. In the last several decades, SDA has been widely performed all over the world, with increasing popularity of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA). While there is a large number of articles on this topic, to our knowledge, there is no bibliometric analysis yet. All databases from the Web of Science were searched in a three-step approach. The information of the 100 most cited studies was collected, including title, first and last author, year of publication, journal, total citations, geographic origin, subspecialty, and types of artificial intervertebral disc for further analysis. The 100 most-cited articles were published from 1966 to 2015 in 9 different journals and were cited from 66 to 346 times. A total of 11 countries contributed to the 100 articles and the United States topped the list, with 54 articles, followed by Germany and France, with 10 and nine articles, respectively. There were more studies in CDA (n = 53) than lumbar disc arthroplasty (n = 35). Most of the studies reported clinical and radiographic outcomes (n = 33). The most productive periods were from 2006 to 2010. The majority of publications were in Spine, which published 43 articles. In total, 12 authors published more than two articles on the list. Of the top 100 most cited articles on SDA, cervical papers outnumbered lumbar articles and the United States had 55 articles, with no other countries having more than 10. Our paper can help readers determine which of the thousands of articles on this topic are the most impactful and important ones to be familiar with. 3. 3. A randomized, single-blinded (the outcome assessor was unaware of participants' allocation group) controlled clinical trial. To investigate the effects of myofascial release therapy (MRT) over the suboccipital muscles, compared with self-MRT using a novel device, the INYBI tool, on pain-related outcomes, active cervical mobility, and vertical mouth opening, in adults with chronic non-specific neck pain (NSNP). MRT is used to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions, with purported positive effects. The efficacy of self-MRT, compared with MRT, has been scarcely evaluated. Fifty-eight participants (mean age of 34.6 ± 4.7 yrs; range 21-40 yrs; 77.6% females, 22.4% males) with persistent NSNP agreed to participate, and were equally distributed into an INYBI (n = 29) or a control group (n = 29). Both groups underwent a single 5-minutes intervention session. For participants in the control group, MRT of the suboccipital muscles was performed using the suboccipital muscle inhibition technique, while thwith the INYBI, to achieve improvements in this population. 2. 2. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of histopathologic and biochemical parameters for predicting F-FDG PET positivity for primary staging in patients with newly diagnosed testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). SAR439859 nmr It was also aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of PET derived metabolic features in this patient group. The imaging findings of 51 patients who were diagnosed as TGCT and underwent F-FDG PET/CT for primary staging after surgery between 2009 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. In terms of the presen
