How is the production of electricity by fission better than nuclear fusion?
In principle fusion should be better for the environment because it does not produce the active fission products. The snag is that it has not been made to work yet, and won't be for many years to come, so as a practical way of producing electricity it does not come into play, and we have to say fission is better than a non-existent fusion
How does fusion relate to the sun?
The energy of the Sun is produced by nuclear fusion - the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What is the by-product of nuclear fusion?
In deuterium-tritium fusion, the result is helium-4. In helium fusion, carbon is produced.

What is lumbar interbody fusion-transforaminal?
TLIF or Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion is a surgery used to stabilize the spine. This procedure is used to stabilize the shock absorbers between the vertebrae.
How long before your body recovers from surgery for scoliosis?
It depends what type of scoliosis surgery you are having. Mine took four hours, and I had posterior spinal fusion with bone grafting from the hip. If you have anterior spinal fusion, it will most likely take longer, as the surgery is done by entering the front or side of your body. With posterior, they reach your spine by entering your back.
What is trufuse?
TruFUSE is a novel posterior spinal fusion technique, without the use of 'hardware', ie rods and screws....

Is oil or fusion better than fusion?
I dont know if fusion can be better than fusion but it is definitly better than oil when used properlu. Fusion is clean energy that has a greater output than oil and is less expensive over time. Oil is pollution the environment is should not be used any longer.

What immediate treatment should be given for lumbar spondolisis patient?
There are few reports of the treatment of lumbar tuberculous spondylitis using the posterior approach. Between January 1999 and February 2004, 16 patients underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion with autogenous iliac-bone grafting and pedicle screw instrumentation. Their mean age at surgery was 51 years (28 to 66). The mean follow-up period was 33 months (24 to 48). The clinical outcome was assessed using the Frankel neurological classification and the Kirkaldy-Willis criteria. On the Frankel classification, one patient improved by two grades (C to E), seven by one grade, and eight showed no change. The Kirkaldy-Willis functional outcome was classified as excellent in eight patients, good in five, fair in two and poor in one. Bony union was achieved within one year in 15 patients. The mean pre-operative lordotic angle was 27.8° (9° to 45°) which improved by the final follow-up to 35.8° (28° to 48°). Post-operative complications occurred in four patients, transient root injury in two, a superficial wound infection in one and a deep wound infection in one, in whom the implant was removed. Our results show that a posterior lumbar interbody fusion with autogenous iliac-bone grafting and pedicle screw instrumentation for tuberculous spondylitis through the posterior approach can give satisfactory results.
Is there a comma before status post in the following sentence - She continues to experience neck pain status post anterior cervical decompression and fusion?
A comma would not typically be used. This is not a typical sentence though. It appears to be medical notes, perhaps from a chart or patient file.One possible punctuation is below:"She continues to experience neck pain. Status: post anterior cervical decompression and fusion."

sacral crest
Can you still grow after having surgery for scoliosis?
Yes and no. You will still grow, but the area of your spine that has been fused will no longer be able to grow. Most doctors prefer to operate when the patient is as fully grown as possible. If doctors operate on someone who still has a lot of growing left, they usually need to do a posterior and anterior spinal fusion, which means they fuse both the front and the back of the spine. This ensures that are no complications with the spine due to growing.
