An updated version of the autoimmunity theory and the recent achievements in the investigation of the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders have created new opportunities for the development and clinical application of a new generation of methods of treatment of the immune system dysfunctions. The present review is focused on questions related to modern and future developments in the treatment of autoimmune myocarditis. We discuss well-known drugs like corticosteroids and azathioprine, and some new and up-to-date methods of treatment of the autoimmune inflammation. Some of these methods are at the experimental stage of development and hopefully will be used to treat patients in the near future.

Vertebral collapse (VC) following osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) often requires aggressive treatment, necessitating an accurate prediction for early intervention. This study aimed to develop a predictive model leveraging deep neural networks to predict VC progression after OVCF using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical data. Among 245 enrolled patients with acute OVCF, data from 200 patients were used for the development dataset, and data from 45 patients were used for the test dataset.
