A Rare Case of Cervical Intramedullary Spinal Cord Abscess [PDF]

open access: yes
Intramedullary spinal cord abscess (ISCA) is an exceptionally rare pathological condition with the potential to affect any segment of the spinal cord. The involvement of the cervical cord, however, is notably uncommon, with only 36% of the ISCA localised

Intraoperative variability between the anteroposterior and posterior condylar axes in primary TKA supports a 20° proximal trochlear entrance design for unrestricted kinematic alignment

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Unrestricted kinematic alignment (uKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) creates a challenge for trochlear design. Femoral implants designed for mechanical alignment (MA) use asymmetrical posterior bone cuts to adjust axial rotation and optimize patellofemoral tracking. In uKA, posterior bone cuts are calipered resections.

Specific functional knee phenotypes are associated with increased osteoarthritis progression: A ≥10‐year longitudinal study

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate osteoarthritis (OA) progression across functional knee phenotypes (FKPs) over a follow‐up period of ≥10 years. Methods This retrospective longitudinal study included 388 patients (764 knees) with healthy knees or early OA (Kellgren–Lawrence grade ≤1) at baseline and a minimum follow‐up of 10 years.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Magnetothermal‐responsive drug release bone cement based on EGFR‐mutated lung cancer bone metastases

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
A novel magnetothermal‐responsive bone cement was developed by integrating PMMA/CPC/Osimertinib matrix with Fe3O4@SiO2@Zol nanomaterials. This dual‐drug system achieves controlled release, combining excellent mechanical properties with potent anti‐tumor activity and bone regulation for treating EGFR‐mutated LC‐BoM.

Late onset leptomeningeal and whole spine metastasis from supratentorial Glioblastoma multiforme: An uncommon manifestation of a common tumor

open access: yesJournal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2016
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors, composing 12-20% of all the intracranial tumors in adults with a highly malignant course and average life expectancy of approximately 12-14 months following ...
