Mullis was doing research in the early 1980s at a biotechnology company in California when he initially thought of the idea regarding PCR. PCR was developed by a combination of several techniques already in existence; the synthesis of oligonucleotides and their utilization to synthesize new copies of DNA that were specific using DNA polymerases.

Synovial cysts arising from the intraspinal facet joint can directly cause thecal sac or nerve root compression. They are increasingly cited as a major source of spinal instability and mechanical back pain. In this case, we report a 51-year-old woman who has been treated conservatively for a unilateral synovial cyst for 15 months. She then presented with an acute exacerbation of lower back pain, neurogenic claudication and lower extremity weakness. Her magnetic resonance (MR) studies showed new…
