Unlabelled: LCN2 has an osteokine important for appetite regulation; in type 2 diabetes (T2D) it is not known whether appetite regulation mediated by LCN2 in the brain is altered. In this work, we focus on exploring the role of blocking LCN2 in metabolic health and appetite regulation within the central nervous system of mice with T2D.
Material And Methods: 4-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were used, divided into four experimental groups: intact, T2D, TD2/anti-LCN2, and T2D/IgG as isotype control.
Article Synopsis
- Magnetic controlled growing rods (MCGRs) combined with a sacro-bi-iliac "T-construct" show promising results in correcting early onset neuromuscular scoliosis in non-walking patients, aiming to maintain pelvic balance over time.
- A study involving 18 patients highlighted significant improvements in spinal curvature and pelvic tilt after surgery, with average corrections of 33.2° and 11°, respectively.
- Despite a 35% complication rate (mostly mechanical), the study suggests that while some spinal correction was lost over time, pelvic stability was maintained, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and possible interventions.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of a method for measuring freehand rod bending and to analyze the relationship between the rod's bend and the resulting sagittal correction.
Materials And Methods: All the children who underwent correction by posterior translation using pedicle screws at all levels were included prospectively in 2018 and 2019. The rod's sagittal parameters were measured retrospectively by three independent surgeons on two separate occasions using the same protocol.
Study Design: This was a prospective cohort study.
Objective: The aim of this study is to question the influence of fear avoidance beliefs on functional outcome following surgery for degenerative lumbar spine.
Background: Fear avoidance beliefs are well-studied modifiers of low back pain.
Surgery for spinal hypervascular lesions, such as hemangioma or metastases from thyroid or renal cancer, may be challenging because of the risk of massive blood loss.1 To overcome this limitation, presurgical embolization has gained acceptance to reduce this risk.2 However, some configurations, such as the origin of a radiculomedullary artery close to the vessels feeding the lesion or when the lesion is supplied by vessels feeding an eloquent territory, may limit the possibility of presurgical embolization, especially with microparticles.
