Purpose: Appendicular skeleton markers are commonly used for maturity assessment for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients. Traditionally, Risser has been a standard skeletal maturity assessment method. More recently, Sanders classification (SSMS), as a more comprehensive system, became popular, especially in decision-making for Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT).

- Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain cancer, making up about 80% of malignant brain tumors, and currently lacks effective treatments due to its complexity and the blood-brain barrier.
- Traditional 2D models do not accurately represent the tumor microenvironment, leading to a growing interest in organ-on-a-chip (OoC) models that mimic human tissue and offer better insights into disease and drug responses.
- The review discusses the advancements in GBM-on-a-chip models, their applications in drug development, and highlights the challenges and future directions for enhancing these innovative research platforms.
Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Researchers developed 10 critical questions from frequently asked AIS inquiries and had the chatbots respond, then evaluated the accuracy, clarity, and empathy of the answers using a rating system by experienced spine surgeons, while also gathering opinions on AI in healthcare.
- * Results: ChatGPT 4.0 performed the best with 39% 'excellent' ratings, while overall, only 26% of responses were rated 'excellent.' Not
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine how rod characteristics, screw density, and cages affect mechanical complications in spinal surgeries compared to patient-related factors and alignment in adult spinal deformity cases.
- Data from 302 patients was analyzed using different statistical models to measure outcomes like pseudarthrosis and screw loosening and understand the impact of surgical techniques versus patient demographics.
- Key findings include that using four rods reduces the risk of pseudarthrosis, postoperative malalignment significantly increases the risk of complications, and high screw density leads to a lower risk of screw loosening, while age has a secondary impact on outcomes.
