Article Synopsis
- Cauda equina syndrome (CES) in beta thalassemia patients, often linked to extramedullary hematopoiesis, is rare and presents treatment challenges, with limited documented cases showing varied outcomes.!* -
- A case of a 29-year-old male with beta thalassemia showed symptoms like lower back pain, numbness, and urinary issues; MRI indicated cauda equina compression due to abnormal blood cell production.!* -
- Surgical interventions provided some relief for the patient's pain and symptoms, but long-term issues like sensory impairment and bladder control problems remain, highlighting the need for better management guidelines in such complex cases.!*
The mammalian spinal cord functions as a community of cell types for sensory processing, autonomic control, and movement. While animal models have advanced our understanding of spinal cellular diversity, characterizing human biology directly is important to uncover specialized features of basic function and human pathology. Here, we present a cellular taxonomy of the adult human spinal cord using single-nucleus RNA sequencing with spatial transcriptomics and antibody validation.

Currently, the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) and National Institute of Clinical Excellence NICE advocate the use of either balloon kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty in the management of these fractures.
Methods: All patients with VCFs and myeloma who adhered to the IMWG indications for vertebral augmentation were treated with the Osseofix implant.
