Clinical application of ceramics in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A review and update [PDF]

, 2017
Study Design: Narrative review. Objectives: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a reliable procedure, commonly used for cervical degenerative disc disease. For interbody fusions, autograft was the gold standard for decades; however, limited

When – and whether – should we spay/neuter companion dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
The recent publication of guidelines for the control of reproduction in dogs and cats shows that a variety of non‐neoplastic and neoplastic conditions occur more commonly in spayed/neutered than entire dogs, and for several of such conditions the earlier the age at surgery – the higher the risk. In addition, unwanted behavioural changes may occur after

Effect of Liraglutide on Intermittent Hypoxia‐Induced Metabolic Dysfunction: From Bench to Bedside

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intermittent hypoxia (IH)‐mediated adipose tissue inflammation with M1 macrophage polarisation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Effective treatment strategies are so far lacking.

Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Radiomics based on MRI to predict recurrent L4-5 disc herniation after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy

BMC Medical Imaging
Background In recent years, radiomics has been shown to be an effective tool for the diagnosis and prediction of diseases. Existing evidence suggests that imaging features play a key role in predicting the recurrence of lumbar disk herniation (rLDH ...

Risk Factors for Poor Matching of Intervertebral Fusion Devices After Posterior Vertebral Column Resection in Patients With Kyphosis or Kyphoscoliosis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
The use of IFDs to reconstruct the anterior and middle column defects following PVCR demonstrated a high incidence of poor matching (40.2%). The Cobb angle of segmental kyphosis, the angle between osteotomy surfaces, and the height of IFDs are identified as independent risk factors for poor matching of IFDs after PVCR.

AUSS Assisted ACAF Technique in the Treatment of Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Extending to the C2 Segment

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of the AUSS‐assisted ACAF technique for treating cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (COPLL) involving C2. Through surgical intervention and long‐term follow‐up of 16 relevant patients, this research demonstrates the significant therapeutic efficacy and high safety ...
