Purpose: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of spine procedures performed in an ambulatory spine surgery unit in Poland. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 318 patients who underwent ambulatory spine surgery between 2018 and 2021, with procedures including microdiscectomy (MLD), anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), endoscopic interbody fusion (endoLIF), posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD), interlaminar endoscopic lumbar discectomy IELD, and transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (TELD). Patient data were analyzed for pre-operative and post-operative visual analog scale (VAS) scores. Results: The findings indicated that outpatient techniques were safe and effective, with a 2.83% complication rate. All procedures significantly improved VAS scores under short-term observation, and core outcome measurement index (COMI) scores under long-term observation. Conclusions: Ambulatory spine surgery represents a relatively new approach in Poland, with only a select few centers currently offering this type of service. Outpatient spine surgery is a safe, effective, and cost-effective option for patients requiring basic spine surgeries.

Relevance. The relevance of the study arises as computers in educational institutions have ceased to be a mere subject of study and have become a tool for learning. The main purpose of using computer-based learning technologies is to increase the efficiency of the learning process. This task is also solved by increasing the motivation of students to study technical graphics. Graduates should be able to use graphics systems to create both blueprint and design documentation and to solve three-dimensional graphic modelling tasks. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the formation of professional competence of non-humanitarian specialities through information technology. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was general theoretical methods, through which it was possible to determine the fact that the use of information and communication technologies in the classroom allows raising the level of information culture, realising the potential of each student, and forming the professional skills of future specialists. Results. This article covered the main methods of using information technology in mathematics and physics classes, the features of the competency-based approach, the advantages of using innovative computer technology, and the types of technologies used. It has been found that the use of information technology in mathematics and physics classes affects: the activation of students' cognitive activity, development of mathematical logic, variability of reasoning, and concentration of students' intellectual activity on research and investigation. Conclusions. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its findings and conclusions improve the training in the development of competence of students of physics and mathematics specialities using information technology in educational activities.
Relevance. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the role of foreign scientific contacts and professors' trips from 1950 to 1991 in the context of bibliographic sources underlines the tasks of the teaching character of the Riga Medical Institute. Since one of the least studied periods in the history of Latvian medicine with its ideological specificity is the period from 1950 to 1991, only individual studies can be found, including the history of the Riga Medical Institute and the Latvian State University in the monograph “From University to University”. The 60-year presence of Latvia in the USSR is often interpreted and idealized in two ways. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to consider the analysis of foreign scientific relations and business trips of the faculty of the Riga Medical Institute in the period from 1950 to 1991 in terms of bibliographic sources. For trips of scientific and teaching staff of the Riga Medical Institute outside the USSR, in the period from the establishment of the RSU until the restoration of the independence of the Republic of Latvia in 1991, is characterized by connection with the political situation of the USSR system in international scientific relations. Methodology. The modern world has great opportunities for international cooperation and freedom of movement. Results. Students and Western scientists lack an understanding of the complex possibilities of scientific and academic staff of the Riga Medical Institute for scientific communication with researchers outside the USSR. Therefore, this topic has already attracted the attention of other European researchers. Conclusions. Practical significance lies in the updating of problems of foreign scientific relations and business trips of professors and teachers of the Riga Medical Institute in the period from 1950 to 1991 on the basis of new primary sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
