Detailed analysis of cystic lesions in patients after open fetal repair and postnatal myelomeningocele closure

Child's Nervous System, 2025 • January 1, 2025

The study retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure between 2013 and 2018, following them up to 5 years of age to evaluate cystic spinal lesions. The findin...

KEY FINDING: Cystic lesions are common after myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure, with 51.2% of patients developing radiographic evidence of cysts.

A novel SIRT1 activator attenuates neuropathic pain by inhibiting spinal neuronal activation via the SIRT1‑mGluR1/5 pathway

Cell Biol Toxicol, 2025 • January 1, 2025

This study investigates the effect of Comp 6d, a novel SIRT1 activator, on neuropathic pain and explores its mechanisms. The findings suggest that Comp 6d alleviates neuropathic pain by specifically a...

KEY FINDING: Comp 6d alleviates neuropathic pain by specifically activating SIRT1 in the spinal cord, as demonstrated by the abolishment of its effects in SIRT1 knockout mice.

Determining anatomically-safe corridors for placement of lateral mass screws in the first cervical vertebra of the Emirati population – a CT study

Scientific Reports, 2025 • January 1, 2025

This study used CT scans of 160 Emirati patients to determine the optimal screw dimensions, entry points, bony corridors, and screw trajectories for C1 lateral mass screw placement. The research ident...

KEY FINDING: The study found that a screw entry at the center of the lateral mass, below its junction with the posterior arch, allowed straight screws of lengths 20 mm and 19.5 mm in Emirati males and females, respectively.
