Cardiovascular Morbidity in Patients Undergoing Successful Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Although previous studies have shown reduced cardiovascular events following parathyroidectomy (PTX), it is unclear whether this extends to contemporary patients diagnosed and treated with milder disease than previously. The aim of this nation‐wide study was to determine the effect on cardiovascular events after PTX, and to ...

Effects of “fixation-fusion” sequence of lumbar surgery on surgical outcomes for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background New-onset neurological symptoms such as numbness and pain in lower extremities might appear immediately after conventional lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) surgery performed in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Impact of Prior Intravenous Immunoglobulin and Plasmapheresis on Eculizumab or Ravulizumab Treatment for Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: An Analysis of the MG SPOTLIGHT Registry

Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The complement component 5 inhibitor therapies (C5ITs) eculizumab and ravulizumab are approved for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). We evaluated the real‐world effectiveness and safety of eculizumab and ravulizumab in patients with gMG with or without prior intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or plasma exchange ...

A Novel Intronic Variant in the KH3 Domain of HNRNPK Leads to a Mild Form of Au‐Kline Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Integrated genomic and epigenomic analyses, associated with functional studies, confirm the pathogenicity of a novel HNRNPK variant in Au‐Kline syndrome (AKS). Our study underscores the value of DNA methylation signatures in variant interpretation, enhancing accurate diagnosis and clinical management of rare neurodevelopmental disorders.

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Intraoperative Myelography in Cervical Multilevel Stenosis Using 3D Rotational Fluoroscopy: Assessment of Feasibility and Image Quality [PDF]

, 2015
Background. Intraoperative myelography has been reported for decompression control in multilevel lumbar disease. Cervical myelography is technically more challenging. Modern 3D fluoroscopy may provide a new opportunity supplying multiplanar images.
