Lumbar Puncture

As per available reports about 498 journals, 96 Conferences, 130 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Lumbar Puncture and about 50,500 articles are being published on the current trends in Lumbar Puncture. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. A lumbar puncture (or LP, and colloquially known as a spinal tap) is a diagnostic and at times therapeutic medical procedure. Diagnostically it is used to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to confirm or exclude conditions such as meningitis and subarachnoid hemorrhage and it may be used in diagnosis of other conditions. Therapeutically it may be used to reduce increased intracranial pressure. Under some circumstances, lumbar puncture cannot be performed safely (e.g. a severe bleeding tendency). It is regarded as a safe procedure, but post-dural-puncture headache is common.

The Journal of Spine is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Lumbar Puncture. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Surgery: Current Research provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Lumbar Puncture thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences (International Conference on Spine and Spinal Disorders June 30-July 02, 2016 Valencia,Spain and discuss about the theme “Tearing down the veil to a better Spine health”. This is an exclusive opportunity for experts to share their latest findings, technical expertise and experiences in the fields of Spine, Spine Surgery, Spinal Surgery, Pathophysiology, Spinal Stenosis, Spinal disorders, Whiplash and Cervicalgia, Sciatica, Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Lordosis, Osteoporosis. The scientific sessions were arranged in an interdisciplinary manner to allow delegates to explore issues directly connected to their own areas of work. They also provide an opportunity to engage with Eminent Delegates, Speakers, Exhibitors, Sponsors, Collaborators, Participants, etc of our conferences from a wide range of disciplines).
