Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effects of C2 nerve root management during C1 vertebra instrumentation, comparing outcomes between patients who had the nerve root resected versus those who preserved it.
  • The resection group experienced significantly lower rates of postoperative C2 neuropathy and required fewer postoperative interventions, though surgical time was longer for the resection group.
  • Both groups had high fusion rates and similar overall complication rates, but the resection group had notably fewer major complications, suggesting that this approach is safer and may reduce the risk of complications post-surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies show that in-hospital exercise can help prevent functional decline in hospitalized older adults, but there’s a lack of comparison among different exercise interventions.
  • This feasibility study recruited 63 older patients (≥75 years) from three hospitals in Stockholm to test a Simple or Comprehensive exercise program against usual care, assessing factors like recruitment and retention rates.
  • Results indicated a 61.9% recruitment rate, an 84.6% retention rate, and high compliance with the exercise sessions, along with positive trends in physical performance measures, suggesting the trial design is feasible and may be effective for this population.

Article Synopsis
  • * Interviews with therapists in Stockholm revealed challenges such as limited resources and fragmented care that hinder effective support for patients.
  • * Conclusions emphasize the need for tailored exercise interventions that align with patients' needs and promote motivation, while also addressing coordination issues among care providers.

Introduction: Individual case reports are the main asset in pharmacovigilance signal management. Signal validation is the first stage after signal detection and aims to determine if there is sufficient evidence to justify further assessment. Throughout signal management, a prioritization of signals is continually made.

We provide an overview of a pressure cell designed to apply uniaxial pressure to single crystals for the study, by neutron scattering techniques, of strongly correlated magnetic systems and, in particular, quantum magnets. A detailed overview of the pressure cell components, their requirements, and links to the scientific and technical specifications are presented. The pressure cell is able to accommodate a 200 mm3 single crystal that can be pressurized up to 2 GPa at cryogenic temperatures.
