Evaluation of the distal adjacent segment after long-segment posterior instrumentation and fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [PDF]
Aim: The majority of studies about adjacent segment disease (ASD) in the literature concern adult patients who were operated on because of degenerative process-related diseases, such as lumbar instability or lumbar stenosis.Material and Methods: We ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Mean Platelet Volume and Coronary Artery Ectasia
Objective: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) are defined as the dilation of a segment of a coronary artery at least 1.5 times the adjacent segment. Several studies have shown the association between mean platelet volume (MPV) and cardiovascular diseases ...

Electrocardiography in pre-participation screening and current guidelines for participation in competitive sports [PDF]
Electrocardiography (ECG) is especially significant in pre-participation screening due to its ability to discover or to rise a suspicion for certain cardiovascular diseases and conditions that represent a serious health risk in athletes. Common,

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Postoperative spino-pelvic stereoradiography to predict adjacent segment disease
The purpose of this study was to identify sagittal spinopelvic parameters predictive of adjacent segment disease (ASD) on postoperative whole spine weight-bearing stereoradiography.A total of 84 patients with previous spinal fusion surgery and documented radiological follow-up with early weight-bearing postoperative whole spine stereoradiography (EOS ...

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).
