Clinical and radiographic performance of indirect foraminal decompression with anterior retroperitoneal lumbar approach for interbody fusion (ALIF)
No full textStudy design: Retrospective study Background: Indirect decompression with ALIF allows the restoration of the disk and foraminal height with limited soft tissue damage. However, it does not offer a direct view of the neural structure and a direct intraoperative assessment of the results of the decompression is not possible. For this reason, ALIF is often accompanied by posterior, direct decompression. So far, there is no consensus on the effects of indirect decompression alone for L5-S1 foraminal stenosis. Objective: Evaluation of the clinical and mechanical performance of indirect decompression with anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) in L5-S1 foraminal stenosis. Methods: All patients who underwent ALIF at our institution and had a minimum follow-up of six months were assessed for inclusion. Radiographic parameters (anterior and posterior disc height, foraminal height and surface, L5-S1 angle, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis) and clinical data (Oswestry Disability Index - ODI and Numeric Rating Scale - NRS) before ALIF and at the last follow-up were compared. A regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between radiographic and clinical outcomes. Results: Thirty-four patients were available for the study (55.9% female, mean age 53.4 +/- 11.5 years), mean follow-up was 26.4 +/- 11.1 months. At the last follow-up, a significant increase in foraminal height (14.6 +/- 4.0 vs. 17.9 +/- 3.9 mm, p<0.001), posterior disc height (6.5 +/- 2 vs. 9.1 +/- 2 mm, p<0.001) was observed. ODI and NRS back and leg improved significantly. The NRS leg correlated with foraminal height (r=-0.45), foraminal surface (r=-0.36) and anterior (r=-0.41) and posterior disc height (r=-0.43). Conclusion: ALIF provided significant indirect foraminal decompression and improvement of radicular pain. The increase of foraminal height, surface, and posterior disc height is directly associated with radicular pain improvement.

Penafsiran alif lam mim dalam kitab al-futuhat al-makkiyyah karya ibnu ‘arabi (Pendekatan Historis Filosofis)
No full textMenurut Ibnu ‘Arabi, kalimat-kalimat dan huruf-huruf dalam al-Qur’an ialah gerbang untuk masuk ke dalam arti tersirat lebih dalam yang dikehendaki Sang Penulis-Nya. Ia mengatakan bahwa hal tersebut dapat diperoleh apabila seorang hamba betul dalam takwa dan ibadahnya, sehingga Tuhan yang akan langsung menurunkan cahaya pemahaman atas kehendak-Nya, bukan hasil daripada akal pikiran, apalagi hawa nafsu. Begitupula saat menghadapi huruf-huruf misterius yang menjadi pembuka surat dalam al-Qur’an seperti Alif La>m Mi>m, mayoritas ulama memilih mengatakan “Allah yang lebih tahu maksudnya”. Sedangkan ia memberikan penjelasan yang rinci pada Alif Lam Mim dalam sebuah kitab yang dapat dikatakan sebagai “Master Piece”-nya, yakni Kitab al-Fut{u>h{a>t al-Makkiyyah. Menurutnya lagi, “tidak ada yang mengetahui ilmu huruf ini kecuali para ahli kasyaf dari jalan kami” (Anbiya’ dan Auliya’). Pernyataannya tersebut sangat menarik untuk dikaji lebih lanjut. Maka, yang menjadi rumusan masalah pada penelitian ini ialah bagaimana penafsiran Ibnu ‘Arabi terhadap Alif La>m Mi>m dalam kitab Al-Fut{u>h{a>t Al-Makkiyah.
Jenis penelitian ini adalah library researh yang bersifat kualitatif. Metode yang digunakan ialah analisis deskriptif dengan pendekatan historis-filosofis. Penulis berupaya memberikan gambaran secara sistematis, faktual serta akurat mengenai data-data yang disajikan dari beberapa sumber serta menganalisisnya.
Hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa dalam kitabnya al-Fut{u>h{a>t al-Makkiyyah mengenai Alif La>m Mi>m, Ibnu ‘Arabi menafsirkan Alif sebagai isyarat tauhid, jalan yang lurus (penyucian dan tauhid) dan simbol daripada Dzat Allah. Sedangkan La>m, ia artikan sebagai penghubung antara Alif dan Mi>m, perlambang akan Al-Qudrah (kuasa) Allah dan sebagai simbol daripada Sifat Allah. Adapun huruf Mi>m, ia artikan sebagai mulk (kekuasaan/kerajaan) Allah swt., simbol makhluk yang menempati “serendah-rendahnya tempat” dan sebagai simbol daripada Af’al (Perbuatan) Allah swt. maupun bekas daripada perbuatan-Nya. Terlihat penafisrannya tersebut termasuk ke dalam kategori penafsiran yang bercorak isyari dan diantaranya ia pun menggunakan munasabah, yakni mengaitkan penafsirannya dengan ayat al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Penafsirannya ini pun tak terlepas dari pengaruh guru pertamanya yakni al-‘Uryabi yang dijumpainya pada masa awal menapaki jalan spiritual. Ia mengamalkan sebuah nasihat dari gurunya sampai kepada maksud, “Tuhan akan berbicara kepadamu tanpa hijab”, hingga ia mengalami pencerahan, terlihat dalam sumpahnya “Demi Allah! tidak ada satu huruf pun yang aku tulis melainkan dari dikte Ilahi”. Pun ditemukan dalam penafsirannya ini tak terlepas dari paham utamanya yakni wahdat al-wujud yang tercium isyaratnya ketika ia menjelaskan alasan sucinya Alif dari harokat ialah simbol sebagaimana Dzat Allah, ada dan tiada sesuatupun bersama-Nya.
ABSTRACT
According to Ibn 'Arabi, the sentences and letters in the Qur'an are the gateway to entering the deeper implied meaning desired by The Author. He said that this could be obtained if a servant is true in piety and worship, so that God will directly send down the light of understanding of His will, not the result of reason, let alone lust. Likewise, when dealing with mysterious letters that open letters in the Qur'an, such as Alif La>m Mi>m, the majority of scholars prefer to say "God knows better." Meanwhile, he provided a detailed explanation to Alif La>m Mi>m in a book known as his "masterpiece," the al-Futu>ha>t al-Makkiyyah. According to him again, "no one knows this science of letters except the Kasyaf experts from our way" (Anbiya' and Auliya'). His statement is very interesting and deserves to be studied further. So, in this study, the formulation of the problem is how Ibn 'Arabi interpreted Alif La>m Mi>m in the book al-Futu>ha>t al-Makkiyah.
This type of research is qualitative library research. The method used is descriptive analysis with a historical-philosophical approach. The author analyzes and attempts to provide a systematic, factual, and accurate description of the data presented from various sources.
The result of this research is that in his book al-Futu>ha>t al-Makkiyyah regarding Alif La>m Mi>m, Ibn 'Arabi interprets Alif as a sign of monotheism, the straight path (purification and monotheism), and a symbol of God's essence. As for La>m, he interprets it as a link between Alif and Mi>m, symbolizing Allah's Al-Qudrah (power), and as a symbol of Allah's attributes. As for the letter Mi>m, he interprets it as Allah's mulk (power/kingdom), a symbol of a creature that occupies the "lowest place", and as a symbol of Allah's af'al (deeds). nor the evidence of His actions. It can be seen that his interpretation belongs to the category of interpretation with an isyari pattern, and among them he also uses munasabah, namely associating his interpretation with verses of the Qur'an and Hadith. This interpretation was inseparable from the influence of his first teacher, namely al-'Uryabi, whom he met in the early days of walking the spiritual path. She practiced an advice from her teacher to the point, "God will speak to you without the hijab", until she experienced enlightenment, as seen in her oath, "By Allah! There is not a single letter that I write but from Divine dictation". It is also discovered that in his interpretation, this cannot be separated from his main understanding, namely wahdat al-wujd, which can be sensed when he explains why the holy Alif of harokat is a symbol similar to Allah's Essence; there is and there is nothing with Him

α7β1 integrin regulation of skeletal muscle growth in response to mechanical loading
No full textThe α7β1 integrin has been proposed to serve as a mechanosensor and essential regulator of myofiber remodeling given its localization at the membrane and primary role in adhering the outer extracellular matrix to the inner actin cytoskeleton. However, additional work is necessary to affirm a primary role for the α7β1 integrin subunit in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in response to mechanical loading. The purpose of this study was to 1) to utilize an automated computer program (SMASH) to reassess myofiber cross-sectional area in previously collected samples, and 2) to determine the mechanism by which the α7β1 integrin can promote myofiber growth following a mechanical stimulus. Aim 1 used an automated computer program to re- analyze myofiber CSA and confirm a role for the α7β1 integrin in myofiber hypertrophy following chronic mechanical loading. Aim 2 assessed potential mechanisms for integrin-mediated growth in response to chronic mechanical load, including upregulation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) content in skeletal muscle. The results from this study suggest that 1) the use of an automated computed program (SMASH) provides results that are comparable to manual measurement, 2) chronic mechanical loading elicits an increase in fiber splitting that may result in an underestimation of myofiber CSA, and 3) overexpression of the α7 integrin subunit increases baseline YAP content in skeletal muscle, an event that may influence the rate of myofiber hypertrophy in response to load. Future studies will incorporate the SMASH program for assessment of myofiber size while continuing to probe the mechanistic basis for integrin-mediated myofiber growth in response to load.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Alif Tisha, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-18 at 16:38.The student, Alif Tisha, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-18 at 16:45.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-25 at 15:37.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12348 on 2018-08-31 at 17:29:57Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:23Z (GMT).

Alif 22: The language of the self: autobiographies and testimonies
No full textAutobiography is a protean genre: it covers so many forms and styles. When narrating one’s life, the narrator has to choose what he or she considers to be relevant and decisive. Beside the differences on what is fundamental in a life, the notion of the Self is culturally defined and thus varies from one place to another. The author of an autobiographical text may express only a fragment of his or her life, follow a thread in the trajectory through reminiscences, memoir, diaries, testimony, interview, letters, poems, etc. The author may declare openly that he or she is identical with the protagonist or may give the principal character a different name or no name. The author may depict private or public events, at times taking imaginative license or even including fantastic motifs. Autobiographical discourse is not only culturally conditioned; it is also symptomatic of the cultural moment. Thus it is important to explore the varieties of self-presentation, and not assume a fixed paradigm. In this revisionist spirit that looks for different and alternative ways of recording one’s life, Alif presents the autobiographical drive in multiple contexts: ancient and contemporary Egyptian; nineteenth-century and twentieth-century Arab, Moroccan, and Iraqi; South African and West African; Canadian and American; Palestinian and Sudanese; English and Irish; and even that of a hybrid background Chinese American and Algerian French. There has been a tremendous surge in autobiographical writing in recent years, and the field has been redefined by literary and cultural critics. From James Olney (ed.), Autobiography: Essays Theoretical and Critical (1980) to Dwight Reynolds (ed.), Interpreting the Self: Autobiography in the Arabic Literary Tradition (2001), a range of works have appeared challenging established views and approaches on the subject of autobiography. The epigraphs (whose English translation is drawn from the works mentioned above) attest to the complexity and diversity of motivations in writing about one’s past life.https://fount.aucegypt.edu/faculty_books/1170/thumbnail.jp

Bone dowels in anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
No full textSince the Food and Drug Administration approved the Babgy-Kuslich BAK cage for anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), various threaded interbody fusion devices have been introduced. Bone dowels offer several theoretical advantages over cages with regard to stress shielding; the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of bone dowels in interbody fusion. All patients undergoing ALIF performed by the senior author between 1998 and 2001 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients\u27 preoperative and postoperative neurologic status, functional status, and both back and radicular pain were assessed according to a previously published outcome measure. Between 1998 and 2000, 23 patients underwent ALIF with cortical femoral allograft bone dowels. One patient underwent simultaneous bone dowel and titanium cage placements and was therefore excluded from further analysis. The 22 remaining patients underwent a total of 33 fused segments; of these, 21 patients were available for follow-up. Mean clinical follow-up was 30.6 months. Mean imaging follow-up was 21 months. There were 5 instances of radiographic nonunion (3 symptomatic and 2 asymptomatic). The incidence of technical failures and complications related to the bone dowels was 17%. Bone dowels failed and caused symptoms only in patients with a stand-alone ALIF. There were no clinical failures in patients treated with supplemental anterior or posterior spinal fixation. These data demonstrate that marginal fusion rates and functional success rates can be achieved using stand-alone bone dowels for ALIF. The clinical success and fusion rates are significantly higher if ALIF dowels are shielded from stress with rigid spinal instrumentation
