Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Two‐Dimensional Electromagnetic Navigation‐Assisted Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study compares 2D versus 3D electromagnetic navigation‐assisted PTED for lumbar disc herniation. The 2D system significantly reduced surgical time, radiation exposure, and learning curve while maintaining similar clinical outcomes. It offers an efficient, safe, and practical alternative for less experienced surgeons.

The Influence of Height‐Adjusted Nutritional Status Assessment on Complications Following Growing‐Rod Surgery for Early‐Onset Scoliosis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Adjusting BMI using the Ylikoski formula provides a more accurate nutritional assessment for early‐onset scoliosis patients. Preoperative malnutrition, and undergoing three or more surgeries are risk factors significantly associated with increased postoperative complications following traditional growing‐rod surgery.

Systemic Physiological Impact on Cervical Bone Quality Measurements: A Comparative Analysis of Cervical Vertebral Bone Quality Scores and Hounsfield Units

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study enrolled 512 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy to compare the physiological impacts on C‐VBQ score and C‐HU. The correlations of bilirubin and glucose metabolism indicators with both indices were stronger at the C4/5 segment and in female patients, and the C‐VBQ score appeared to be more sensitive to physiological factors than C ...

Expert Recommendations for Use of Combined Oral Contraceptives in Preadolescent and Young Adolescent Patients With Acne Vulgaris

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acne vulgaris commonly presents in early adolescence with the onset of adrenarche. Treatments for acne in this age group typically mirror those in older adolescents. However, while combined oral contraceptives are an effective hormonal treatment for acne vulgaris in young women, the safety of using a systemic hormonal therapy in younger ...

Clinicogenetic Characterization of H Syndrome in a South African Child

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT H syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by loss‐of‐function SLC29A3 variants, combining hyperpigmented indurated plaques and hypertrichosis with life‐threatening autoinflammation. We report a 5‐year‐old South African girl of first‐cousin parents who presented with hyperinflammation mimicking macrophage activation ...

Astrocytic EAAT‐2 Upregulation Supports Neuro‐Axonal Homeostasis in Chronic Inflammatory CNS Lesions

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 12, December 2026.
Inflammatory CNS lesions increase extracellular glutamate. Astrocytic EAAT regulation controls glutamate clearance, stabilizes axonal Ca2+ homeostasis, and determines neurite survival during chronic neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Neuronal loss in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a key factor in the progression of disability.
