Accuracy and reliability of radiological methods for assessing fusion rates in patients undergoing spinal arthrodesis and stabilization: a systematic review of the past 10 years

Frontiers in Surgery
BackgroundReliable assessment of spinal fusion remains a significant challenge due to the absence of universally accepted radiological criteria. Despite the widespread use of spinal arthrodesis and stabilization, substantial variability persists in how ...

Intraoperative antepulsion of a posterior lumbar interbody fusion cage: three case reports

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2015
Spinal fusion surgery techniques develop together with technologic advancements. New complications are seen as the result of new techniques and these may be very severe due to spinal cord and vascular structures in the lumbar region. The posterior lumbar

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Application of AUSS-TLIF for the treatment of a lumbar burst fracture: A case report

Journal of International Medical Research
Lumbar burst fractures are common high-energy spinal injuries often accompanied by neurological deficits. Although endoscopic percutaneous pedicle screw fixation has been applied in thoracolumbar fractures, it cannot be used for lumbar interbody grafting

Behavioral recovery and spinal motoneuron remodeling after polyethylene glycol fusion repair of singly cut and ablated sciatic nerves.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Polyethylene glycol repair (PEG-fusion) of severed sciatic axons restores their axoplasmic and membrane continuity, prevents Wallerian degeneration, maintains muscle fiber innervation, and greatly improves recovery of voluntary behaviors.

WorMa: An Undulatory Robot With Center of Mass Regulation via Internal Fluid Redistribution for Amphibious Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

Mitigating Cancer Therapy–Related Cognitive Impairment by Targeted Activation of Undruggable Phosphatase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An RVG‑engineered exosomal saRNA delivery system (RVG‑EVs‑saPtpro) effectively targets and activates hippocampal PTPRO, functioning as a “molecular brake” to alleviate cancer therapy‑related cognitive impairment (CTRCI) by enhancing neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity.
