World Journal of Orthopedics, 2024 • December 18, 2024
This case report presents a unique instance of a 15-year-old male developing acute cervical spine pyogenic infection (CSPI) secondary to chronic paronychia caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The patient...
KEY FINDING: The study highlights a rare case of cervical spine pyogenic infection (CSPI) stemming from chronic paronychia, emphasizing that infections can originate from unexpected sources.
Cureus, 2024 • December 18, 2024
The case report highlights a rare anatomical variation where the vertebral artery originates from the internal carotid artery, potentially leading to posterior circulation neurological deficits if the...
KEY FINDING: A dominant right vertebral artery was found to originate from the right internal carotid artery in a 76-year-old female.
BMC Medical Education, 2025 • December 18, 2024
This study compares the effectiveness of simulator-based ultrasound training to traditional ultrasound training with human subjects for teaching theoretical and practical skills in Focused Assessed Tr...
KEY FINDING: Both simulator- and human-based training effectively developed theoretical and practical skills in FATE.
Cell Reports Medicine, 2024 • December 17, 2024
This study reports the long-term results for a phase 1 study of neural stem cell transplantation for chronic spinal cord injury. Here, we report that all four subjects tolerated the stem cell implanta...
KEY FINDING: All four subjects tolerated the stem cell implantation procedure well, with no serious adverse events immediately following the procedure.
Cell Reports Medicine, 2024 • December 17, 2024
This study investigates why severe injury to the central nervous system (CNS) triggers the development of large neurogenic heterotopic ossifications (NHOs) within periarticular muscles. The central rol...
KEY FINDING: Severe SCI causes a spike in blood corticosterone in mice, which is causal for NHO development.
Cureus, 2024 • December 17, 2024
This cross-sectional study assessed osteoporosis knowledge among 300 patients and attendants at a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department using the OKAT-H questionnaire. The study revealed a s...
KEY FINDING: The mean OKAT-H score was found to be 9.82 out of 20 (49.1%) with a standard deviation of 5.06.
Sexual Medicine, 2024 • December 17, 2024
The study aimed to investigate the effect of bladder evacuation method on sexual activity in women with chronic SCI/D. Around half of the evaluated women were sexually active, regardless of bladder ev...
KEY FINDING: Significantly more women using intermittent catheterization (IC) were sexually active compared to those with a suprapubic catheter (SPC).
Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2024 • December 16, 2024
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the blood–spinal cord barrier (BSCB) exacerbating damage by allowing harmful substances and immune cells to infiltrate spinal neural tissues from the vasculature. Mes...
KEY FINDING: MSCs and MSC-EVs reduce BSCB permeability after SCI, promoting vascular stability and functional recovery in preclinical models.
Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol., 2024 • December 16, 2024
This study investigates the use of co-cultured neural stem cells (NSCs) and bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) within a low-modulus GelMA hydrogel scaffold to enhance spinal cord injury (SCI) repair....
KEY FINDING: Low-modulus GelMA hydrogels promote cell migration, viability, and proliferation of co-cultured NSCs and BMSCs in vitro.
Antibody Therapeutics, 2025 • December 16, 2024
