Lumbar disc herniation associated with separation of the posterior ring apophysis: analysis of five surgical cases and review of the literature.

abstract：:Traditional clinical outcome measures for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) have focused on motor function and activities of daily living. However, in the past decade there has been a new emphasis on the use of health related quality of life (HRQOL) measures for translating how a patient's response to treatmen...
