The House of the Seven Gables once a show place in a small New England town, now presents little evidence of its former grandeur. Wind, sun, storm, and neglect left its sides, shingles, and chimney crumbling. Its gray look is mottled here and there with moss. The lattice fence surrounding it is in ruin.
Septal Myectomy. What is septal myectomy? Septal myectomy, also known as septal myotomy, is a cardiac surgery treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a type of heart disease associated with asymmetric thickening of the heart muscle, most commonly at the septum (membrane that separates the right and left sides of the heart).
Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion is a similar type procedure to the anterior cervical discectomy. It includes removal of the cervical disc from an anterior approach, as well as removal of part (partial) or the majority of the vertebral body (body=corpus) in between the involved discs.nother condition, called cervical myelopathy, may also be associated with neck and arm pain, numbness, or weakness. In cases where the disc herniation and/or osteophyte/spurs cause compression of the spinal cord, this is potentially a very serious condition due to the risk of spinal cord injury if left untreated.
