Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relationship between ABO blood types and the risk of postoperative adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after lumbar spine fusion surgery.
- It included 445 patients with various blood types and assessed factors like spinopelvic alignment, perioperative care, and patient outcomes, finding no significant differences in recovery and complications based on blood type, except for increased epidural hematomas in A+ patients.
- The research concluded that ABO blood type is a non-modifiable risk factor linked to a higher likelihood of developing ASD, particularly in B+ patients, marking a significant first step in understanding this association.
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus can cause lethal disease in humans yet there are no approved medical countermeasures. Viral glycoprotein GP38, exclusive to Nairoviridae, is a target of protective antibodies and is a key antigen in preclinical vaccine candidates. Here, we isolate 188 GP38-specific antibodies from human survivors of infection.

Patients with lymphangioma are generally asymptomatic but if complications arise, the approach is endoscopic or surgical. Endoscopic ultrasound aids in distinguishing this tumour from other subepithelial lesions.
