Evaluation of patients with neck pain often relies on end-range flexion and extension radiographs that do not capture mid-range or multiplanar motion. The purpose of this study was to determine if end-range flexion/extension range of motion (ROM) predicts axial rotation ROM or mid-range ROM during either flexion/extension or axial rotation in patients with neck pain or in asymptomatic controls. It was hypothesized that end-range flexion/extension ROM would predict mid-range flexion/extension ROM, but not mid-range or end-range axial rotation ROM.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a major side effect associated with chemotherapy. It can lead to detrimental dose reductions and discontinuation of treatment because of its significant effect, which impairs the quality of life among the surviving population of cancer patients. This study assesses the prevalence and predictors of CIPN among female breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital and Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH and LASUTH), respectively.

Objective: To evaluate intensive postoperative nutritional supplementation on wound healing complications and outcomes after spinal fusion surgery.
Background: Poor nutritional status leads to inferior postoperative outcomes by increasing mortality and predisposing patients to infection and wound healing complications.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the movement mechanics of the atlantooccipital joint (occiput-C1) in healthy young adults during various head movements, using high-speed biplane radiographs to capture the motion.
- Researchers tracked the joint's movements while participants performed flexion/extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending, finding significant variability in flexion/extension compared to more consistent axial and lateral movements.
- The results reveal key details about the joint's range of motion and axis of rotation during these movements, providing valuable insights for future studies on upper cervical spine biomechanics.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical relevance, usefulness, and financial implications of intraoperative radiograph interpretation by radiologists in spine surgery.
Summary Of Background Data: Due to rising health care costs, spine surgery is under scrutiny to maximize value-based care.
