Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
2
So this study is from Czech Republic
3
and it's about decompression alone versus decompression with instrumented fusion in the treatment of a degenerative spondylolisthesis.
4
I have nothing to declare.
5
So this talk will be about minimally invasive surgery because MIS is not only about fancy tools and about new technologies,
6
but it's a concept of achieving the same outcome by using smaller approach and or less invasive procedure.
7
So we have various types of decompression, we have various types of fusion techniques,
8
but the main question remains whether it's necessary to fuse or to just decompress.
9
We all agree and we have enough data nowadays that so -called simple lumbar stenosis should be treated by simple decompression.
10
But what happens when we have a slip?
11
And how should be managed a patient where there are signs of instability,
12
although the instability is still not yet clearly defined in the literature?
13
So that's why we performed and designed a systematic review with meta -analysis
14
and this work was part of the development of Czech clinical practice guidelines, something similar to NICE guidelines in the UK,
15
the surgical treatment of the degenerative diseases of the spine
16
and the review was discussed and validated by a national panel of experts, six orthopedic surgeons and six neurosurgeons experienced in this topic.
17
And we incorporated only trials using pedicle screw fixation fusion and excluded those using other old techniques or non -instrumented fusion.
18
So the population was adults with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.
19
We compared isolated decompression with decompression with pedicle screw fixation.
20
And primary outcomes were improvement in ODI and VAS in low back pain and leg pain.
21
And secondary outcomes, re -operation rate, complication rate, length of stay, duration of surgery, blood loss and quality of life.
22
And these are the basic results.
23
So we found only four randomized trials in the literature
24
and you have the comparison of the numbers between the two groups in each study.
25
The first one is the largest one, the most recent one, Austerwals study.
26
And we have enough or we had enough data for comparison.
27
However, you can see that the main problem was incorporation of dynamic or so -called dynamic instability in some of the studies.
28
So from 21 % to 42 % first didn't even measure the instability and only Gogovawa incorporated only stable stenosis.
29
So the results are quite clear.
30
There was no difference in ODI, back and leg pain between the two techniques at two -year follow -up in stable degenerative spondylolisthesis spondylolisthesis.
31
This is the most important statement because we couldn't do analysis for unstable spondylolisthesis.
32
And these results are confirmed even by follow -up studies with long -term results
33
and they found that there is no difference at 5
34
and 12 years follow -up between the risk of instability after simple decompression and risk of adjacent segment disease after the fusion.
35
And this is the current practice.
36
Although similar recommendations were already published before these trials by NAS,
37
for example, in 2016, they recommended decompression in symptomatic degenerative spondylolisthesis with maximum 20 % slip.
38
Or spinal section WFNS, decompression without instability and with dominant leg pain
39
but the current practice you can see below 62 % increase of fusions in the US of
40
which degenerative spondylolisthesis counted for 45 % with more than 100 % increase
41
and 40 % of spinal surgeons would always fuse every degenerative spondylolisthesis regardless of stability
42
and below are some other studies from from other countries
43
and you can see the proportion for example in a US study almost all patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis were fused.
44
So in conclusion, we can make a clear statement that decompression only should be recommended for isolated stable degenerative spondylolisthesis,
45
especially in higher age groups, but every case should be individually evaluated based on age of the patient,
46
general condition, signs of instability, sleep grade.
47
disc height, spinal deformity and dominant back pain over claudications.
48
So this study was published in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery
49
and Psychiatry and this meta -analysis was also part of this clinical practice guidelines which were published in the Czech Orthopaedic Journal.

Thank you very much.

この動画でスピーキング練習する理由

医学的な学会発表は、論理的な構成や専門用語の使い方、抑揚のある発音など、実践的な英語スピーキングに欠かせない要素が凝縮されています。この動画を使って「shadowspeaks」や「shadow speak」の練習をすれば、フォーマルな場面でのコミュニケーション能力が向上し、専門的な内容もスムーズに伝えられるようになります。特に「英語シャドーイング」に最適なのは、話者のリズムやポーズを真似ることで、自然な発話スピードやアクセントの抑え方を覚えられる点です。

文脈の中の文法と表現

動画で使われている重要な表現を3つ紹介します。

  • 「We all agree and we have enough data nowadays that...」:「~ということには皆同意しています」という主張を裏付ける際の定型文で、議論や発表でよく使われます。that以下には事実を述べ、説得力を高めます。
  • 「However, you can see that the main problem was...」:前文の内容に対して反論や問題点を指摘する場合の表現で、転換を示す「However」と「you can see that」で聞き手の注意を引きます。
  • 「In conclusion, we can make a clear statement that...」:結論を述べる際のフレーズで、「要するに~と明確に言えます」という意味で、まとめの部分で不可欠です。

発音の注意点

動画内の難しい発音を2点挙げます。

  • 「decompression」:/diːkəmˈpreʃn/ と発音し、「ディーカムプレッション」ではなく、「ディーコンプレッション」に近い音になります。特に「com」の部分が弱くなるので注意しましょう。
  • 「spondylolisthesis」:/spɒndɪləʊlɪsˈθiːsɪs/ という長い単語で、「スポンディロリステシス」と発音します。途中の「loli」の部分がつまずきやすいので、ゆっくりと分割して練習しましょう。

これらのポイントを押さえて「shadowing site」で練習すれば、発表や議論での英語表現が格段に自然になります。「shadow speak」の技法を使って、繰り返し真似ることが重要です。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
