Fracture-dislocations of the fifth lumbar vertebra are rare. Treatment of L5 vertebra fractures depends on fracture type and neurological findings. The authors describe a single-staged surgical technique of only posterior circumferential decompression, spinal reconstruction with expandable cage insertion and instrument fixation.

7.Percutaneous laser disc decompression for patients with disc herniation passed open surgery.
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;392(12):29-31
There is still a debate about indication of PLDD for patients of disc herniation passed open surgery at some level. Among our opinion, PLDD is indictable for patients having previous laminectomy if the disc height is not decreased remarkably, the annulus fibrosis is still continuous, the wound fibrosification is not obvious and there is (are) not other contraindication(s) as for ordinary patients of herniated disc.

8.Compressor Fishing Practices among Fisher-divers of Lampirong (Placuna placenta) and their Associated Health Risks in a Coastal Municipality in Panay, Philippines.
Philippine Journal of Health Research and Development 2019;23(3):31-38
Background: Compressor fishing is a strategy adopted by small-scale artisanal fishers of coastal communities in Panay, Western Visayas. The practice persists among subsistence Lampirong fisher-divers whose livelihood depends on seasonal fishing. Placuna placenta known locally as Lampirong, is valued for its shells, which are made into shell craft like the famous capiz window. Related studies which examined traditional diving practices and compressor fishing identified risk factors such as inappropriate dive training and use of unsuitable diving gears.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the plight and health risks associated with common malpractices among Lampirong fisher-divers who utilize the compressor fishing strategy.
Methodology: In this ethnographic study, five (5) Lampirong fisher-divers narrated the health risks and managing practices that they have adapted to survive compressor fishing. Primary data from field observation and interviews with the fisher-divers as well as secondary data from related studies were utilized for comparison and analysis. Considering the health risks that compressor fishing poses to fisher-divers, this study attempted a reflexive position drawing from the principle of ecological public health.
Results: The health risks of compressor fishing are known to fisher-divers, thus, they have developed managing practices which include observance of certain clear-cut rules (the do's and don'ts) to ensure underwater survival. Improvised diving gears are worn but barely protect the Lampirong fisher-divers from decompression illness or sickness. Related studies validated these symptoms such as nose bleed, dull pain in the ears, blood dripping from the ears, headache, and physical fatigue from prolonged dives. They rationalized the practice of Lampirong compressor fishing as a means to bring food to the table for families in fishing communities.
Conclusion: While the Philippine law prohibits or regulates compressor fishing, there is still a need for a policy or program that will address the health risks caused by compressor fishing.

9.A deadly twist detorted

Intestinal obstruction secondary to sigmoid colon volvulus in pregnancy is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy with significant maternal and fetal mortality. We report the first case in this institution of volvulus of the sigmoid colon in a pregnant patient on her 30th week age of gestation that was successfully managed conservatively with flexible colonoscopic decompression and detorsion. The presenting signs and symptoms seen in this patient are the same as with a nonpregnant patient and are often nonspecific. Hence, a high level of suspicion is essential for early diagnosis. Fetal and maternal mortality rates are higher during pregnancy if the diagnosis is delayed
