Spinal laminoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to remove pressure from the spinal cord. In laminoplasy, an extra space is made in the spinal canal by creating a gate or opening in the lamina of the vertebrae for the ease of spinal cord movement. This procedure is recommended, when a patient is having pain due to compression of spinal cord against the wall of spinal canal. Laminoplasty is a preferred procedure over laminectomy as it does not involve the removal of lamina from the spine. When laminoplasty involves only one vertebra, it is known as single level and when involves more than one, called as multilevel. On the basis of vertebral position, it is classified as cervical laminoplasty, lumbar laminoplasty, sacral laminoplasty and thoracic laminoplasty. Cervical laminoplasty involves the surgical procedure of lamina in the neck region while lumbar laminoplasty, sacral laminoplasty and thoracic laminoplasty involves the hinging of lamina of lumbar, sacral and thoracic regions respectively. Various laminoplasy devices available in the market are Center Piece Plate Fixation System by Medtronic, Inc. and MOUNTAINEER Spinal System by DePuySynthes, a part of Johnson & Johnson family of companies.

For years, critics have scoffed at the notion that humans rely on pheromones to determine the attractiveness of potential mates. Now, a study appearing in the journal Neuron shows that the critics were actually wrong. Human brains do indeed respond to pheromone scents that approximate the chemical makeup of testosterone and estrogen. Not only that, this response is selective: It is triggered by the pheromones of the opposite sex, but not of their own.
