Invasive devices to monitor the intraspinal perfusion pressure in the hemodynamic management of acute spinal cord injury: A systematic scoping review.

Background: Various methods for measuring intrathecal pressure (ITP) after spinal cord injury (SCI) to guide hemodynamic management have been investigated. To synthesize the current literature, this current study conducted a scoping review of the use of intrathecal devices to monitor ITP during acute management of SCI with the aim of understanding the association between ITP monitoring with physiological and clinical outcomes.

Methods: A systematic review of literature following the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement.

Pedicle screw placement in the cervical vertebrae using augmented reality-head mounted displays: a cadaveric proof-of-concept study.

Background: The accurate and safe positioning of cervical pedicle screws is crucial. While augmented reality (AR) use in spine surgery has previously demonstrated clinical utility in the thoracolumbar spine, its technical feasibility in the cervical spine remains less explored.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the precision and safety of AR-assisted pedicle screw placement in the cervical spine.

Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality Applications for Surgical Rehearsal, Operative Execution, and Patient Education in Spine Surgery: A Scoping Review.

: Advances in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies have resulted in their increased application across many medical specialties. VR's main application has been for teaching and preparatory roles, while AR has been mostly used as a surgical adjunct. The objective of this study is to discuss the various applications and prospects for VR, AR, and MR specifically as they relate to spine surgery.

Utilization of Augmented Reality Head-Mounted Display for the Surgical Management of Thoracolumbar Spinal Trauma.

: Augmented reality head-mounted display (AR-HMD) is a novel technology that provides surgeons with a real-time CT-guided 3-dimensional recapitulation of a patient's spinal anatomy. In this case series, we explore the use of AR-HMD alongside more traditional robotic assistance in surgical spine trauma cases to determine their effect on operative costs and perioperative outcomes. : We retrospectively reviewed trauma patients who underwent pedicle screw placement surgery guided by AR-HMD or robotic-assisted platforms at an academic tertiary care center between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2022.

Translational regulation of cyclin D1 by 15-deoxy-delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2).

The D-group cyclins play a key role in the progression of cells through the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. Treatment of MCF-7 breast cancer cells with the cyclopentenone prostaglandin 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-PGJ(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) results in rapid down-regulation of cyclin D1 protein expression and growth arrest in the G(0)/G(1) phase of the cell cycle. 15d-PGJ(2) also down-regulates the expression of cyclin D1 mRNA; however, this effect is delayed relative to the effect on cyclin D1 protein levels, suggesting that the regulation of cyclin D1 occurs at least partly at the level of translation or protein turnover.
