Superior facet joint violation after lumbar pedicle screw placement: a scoping review of prevalence, biomechanics, and implications for adjacent segment disease [PDF]
Asian Spine JournalFacet joint violation (FJV) is a known complication of pedicle screw fixation that may contribute to adjacent segment disease (ASD) by altering spinal biomechanics and increasing loading of the cranial facet joints. However, the prevalence, biomechanical

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...
