Elastomeric Micro‐Balloons for Remote Control of Cerebral Blood Flow and Real‐Time In vivo Imaging of Rodent Brain Response to Hypoperfusion

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 30, 27 May 2026.
This study reports the fabrication of MRI‐compatible elastomeric micro‐balloons via a multi‐step bubble casting process, where the monolithic elastomeric wall is selectively stiffened for reversible and controlled inflation and elasticity, depending on the target vessels for graded occlusion of cerebral arteries.

Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Efficacy of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Kümmell's Disease and Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Clinical Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 824-834, April 2026.
Percutaneous kyphoplasty achieved comparable symptom and functional relief with acceptable complications in Kümmell's disease (KD) compared with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. It is effective for stage I/II KD but requires personalized strategies to optimize outcomes. ABSTRACT Objective Kümmell’s disease (KD) represents a delayed form of

A New Technique for Placing Pedicle Screws Into Bone Cement‐Strengthened Vertebrae Involving Drilling and Melting

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 357-367, February 2026.
Experimental results demonstrate that both solid bone cement blocks and bone cement in a dispersed state within bone tissue can be screwed in after thermal softening of the bone cement through Kirschner wires, achieving a good pull‐out resistance. ABSTRACT Objective Vertebroplasty with non‐degradable polymethyl methacrylate bone cement is a common ...

Unipedicular Baloon Kyphoplasty [PDF]

Asian Spine Journal, 2011
Dear Sir, The recent publication on unipedicular baloon kyphoplasty is very interesting [1]. It demonstrates that high seroprevalence could be seen [1]. La Maida et al. [1] found that "Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are effective in treating vertebral compression fracture due to multiple myeloma." This is concordant with the biomechanical ...
