Cryoneurolysis and Quadriplegia: A Case Report on Pain and Severe Spasticity Management.

Spasticity, a common symptom after spinal cord injury, often leads to pain, muscle contracture, and compromised daily activities. Cryoneurolysis, a minimally invasive, drug-free procedure for the treatment of pain, is now gaining recognition for treating spasticity. It involves using an ultrasound-guided probe to freeze and destroy overactive target nerves.

A service ecosystems perspective to explore social prescribing value co-creation for vulnerable young people in NEET situation.

Background: Social prescribing inherently embodies a co-productive nature, particularly within the 'holistic' model facilitated by the pivotal role of Link Workers. Most attention is focused on collecting evidence about the micro-level relationship between Link Workers and their clients. However, little is known about how this co-productive relationship influences or is influenced by value co-creation at different levels, given the involvement of multiple actors in delivering the intervention.

Acute myeloid leukemia in the next-generation sequencing era : Real-world data from an Austrian tertiary cancer care center.

Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has recently entered routine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnostics. It is paramount for AML risk stratification and identification of molecular therapeutic targets. Most NGS feasibility and results data are derived from controlled clinical intervention trials (CCIT).

Caspase-2 kills cells with extra centrosomes.

Centrosomes are membrane-less organelles that orchestrate a wide array of biological functions by acting as microtubule organizing centers. Here, we report that caspase-2-driven apoptosis is elicited in blood cells failing cytokinesis and that extra centrosomes are necessary to trigger this cell death. Activation of caspase-2 depends on the PIDDosome multi-protein complex, and priming of PIDD1 at extra centrosomes is necessary for pathway activation.
