Article Synopsis
- The study aims to identify key challenges in managing traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) in developing countries, focusing on various care stages including injury prevention and hospital care.
- The research involved a systematic review of 82 articles, highlighting issues such as personal and financial impacts of TSCI, lack of trained staff, and delays in treatments across different care levels.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for targeted research on injury prevention and pre-hospital care, urging the development of tailored strategies that enhance education and resource distribution in these regions.
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients suffer from significant pain and disability.

Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-κB), as a key regulator of a myriad of cellular reactions, is shown to be involved in such mechanisms associated with PD, and the changes in NF-κB expression is implicated in PD. Alpha-synuclein accumulation, the characteristic feature of PD pathology, is known to trigger NF-κB activation in neurons, thereby propagating apoptosis through several mechanisms.

Considering the anti-obesity effect of Glycyrrhiza Glabra (GC), we conducted this study to elucidate whether it can ameliorate the sperm parameters.
Methods: In this experimental study, male Wistar rats of 6-8 weeks old were divided into four groups: control, high fat diet (HFD), GC50 (HFD plus 50 mg/kg GC extract), and GC100 (HFD plus 100 mg/kg GC extract).
Background: Infections are a major concern in fixation surgeries. Most of the infections could occur in the first three months after the operation.
Case Report: We present a 45-year-old man who known case of achondroplasia who underwent craniospinal fixation and was presented to our clinic with surgical site infection after six years.
