The efficacy of cytoflavin in the treatment of 60 patients (39 women, 21 men, age 32-64 year) with spondylogenic cervical and lumbosacral radiculomyeloischemia due to degenerative dystrophic spinal lesions was studied in a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study according to GCP rules. During 10 days 40 patients received intravenous cytoflavin dropper injections once daily; 20 patients (control group) received 5% glucose solution as a placebo. Considerable improvement was observed in 70% patients with radiculomyeloischemia of cervical localization and in 65%--with radiculomyeloischemia of lumbosacral segments. In the control group, positive dynamics of neurologic symptoms was 25-30% lower. Cytoflavin significantly reduced cognitive disturbances, improved reparative processes both in the central and peripheral neurons, and may be recommended in ischemic neuronal spinal lesions.

Spinal cord injury results in permanent loss of neurological functions due to severance of neural networks. Transplantation of neural stem cells holds promise to repair disrupted connections. Yet, ensuring the survival and integration of neural stem cells into the host neural circuit remains a formidable challenge.

Objectives: In axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), entheseal involvement is common, which contributes significantly to disease burden and may also lead to structural damage. Although radiographs of the pelvis are widely available in axSpA, information on entheseal damage and associated characteristics are lacking. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of radiographic entheseal lesions at the pelvic region in radiographic (r-) axSpA compared with controls and explored associations with patient and disease characteristics.

The activation of astrocytes in the injured lesion induces the progression of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, adverse side-effects during systemic administration have limited applications. Exosomes (Exos) are an emerging clinical treatment method that exerts anti-inflammatory effects by reducing pro-inflammatory factors and promoting functional recovery.

The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Central Nervous System Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, and neurology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. After developing a list of 24 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, a rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of these clinical/diagnostic scenarios. Recommendations from 55 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop 51 recommendation statements across the 24 scenarios.

Study Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with clinical outcomes following spinal surgery for lumbar spinal disorders.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were comprehensively searched for observational studies comparing clinical outcomes after lumbar spine surgery in patients with and without RA (>18 years).
