Advanced Science, EarlyView.A mechanically robust, ROS‐responsive hydrogel is engineered to treat intervertebral disc degeneration by targeting the NF‐κB–LCN2 inflammatory feedback loop. By delivering wedelolactone specifically within oxidative niches, this system disrupts macrophage–disc cell crosstalk.

Reverse engineering applied to a lumbar vertebra [PDF]
, 2007 Bone studies can be made in vivo or in vitro. However, disadvantages of both traditional techniques call for a compromise between the two. Reverse engineering allows in vitro bone samples to be simulated and analysed in a virtual in vivo environment thus

Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with

2D-3D registration of CT vertebra volume to fluoroscopy projection: A calibration model assessment (doi:10.1155/2010/806094) [PDF]
, 2010 This study extends a previous research concerning intervertebral motion registration by means of 2D dynamic fluoroscopy to obtain a more comprehensive 3D description of vertebral kinematics. The problem of estimating the 3D rigid pose of a CT volume of a

Histological evidence for a supraspinous ligament in sauropod dinosaurs [PDF]
, 2015 Supraspinous ossified rods have been reported in the sacra of some derived sauropod dinosaurs. Although different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin ofthis structure, histological evidence has never been provided to support or reject any

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This retrospective study identified low preoperative psoas muscle volume, measured by computed tomography, as an independent predictor of postoperative complications in patients undergoing emergency surgery for strangulated small bowel obstruction. Low psoas muscle volume, particularly in older adults, was associated with cardiopulmonary and systemic ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study investigates the prognostic utility of a novel volumetric indicator—psoas volume index (PVI)—for assessing sarcopenia in elderly rectal cancer patients. Sarcopenia classified by our proposed PVI cut‐off values was associated with poor nutritional and inflammatory status, and patients with low PVI showed significantly worse long‐term outcomes.
