Background: Nonunion following fracture treatment remains a significant clinical challenge, adversely affecting the patient's quality of life and imposing a substantial economic burden. The emergence of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) for bone regeneration represents a promising avenue, albeit limited by side effects such as inflammatory reactions primarily due to suboptimal drug delivery systems. This study focuses on NOVOSIS putty (NP), a novel biomaterial designed for the sustained release of BMP-2, aiming to mitigate these limitations and enhance bone healing.

Article Synopsis
  • * Studies show that the loss of the Men1 protein in osteoblasts leads to structural bone changes similar to those observed in osteoporosis patients, characterized by decreased bone-forming and increased bone-resorbing activities.
  • * The research suggests that loss of Men1 triggers cellular senescence via mTORC1 activation and AMPK suppression, with potential treatment benefits from metformin, indicating a new avenue for therapeutic strategies against age-related osteoporosis.

No previous study has published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for a subglottic pleomorphic adenoma. Here, we describe the case of a 62-year-old man with a subglottic pleomorphic adenoma. Endoscopic findings revealed a smooth-surfaced tumor arising from the subglottic posterior wall.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis.

Objective: This research sought to develop a predictive model for surgical outcomes in patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) using deep learning and machine learning (ML) techniques.

Summary Of Background Data: Determining surgical outcomes assists surgeons in communicating prognosis to patients and setting their expectations.

Background: Although pelvic obliquity (PO) is a risk factor for postoperative coronal decompensation in corrective surgery in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), especially Lenke 5C, methods of measuring PO are controversial. This study aimed to establish an appropriate measurement method using multiplanar reconstructed computed tomography (MPR-CT) images instead of standing posteroanterior (PA) whole-spine radiographs to evaluate PO in patients with Lenke 5C AIS.

Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study.
