A Novel Differentiation Nomogram Model for Brucellar Spondylitis and Tuberculous Spondylitis.
Infect Drug Resist
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery, The First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture, Kashi, Xinjiang, 844000, People's Republic of China.
Background: Tuberculous spondylitis (TS) and brucellar spondylitis (BS) exhibit certain similarities in clinical presentation and imaging characteristics, making differential diagnosis challenging. Developing a reliable differential diagnosis model can assist clinicians in distinguishing between these two conditions at an early stage, allowing for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with TS and BS were retrospectively collected and randomized into training and validation cohorts (ratio 7:3).
Quantitative observation based on magnetic resonance imaging: the effects of marathon running on lumbar vertebrae, paraspinal muscles, and lumbar disc components.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how marathon running impacts lumbar spine health, focusing on injuries and disc degeneration.
- It compares 54 amateur marathon runners to 30 healthy participants using advanced imaging techniques to assess fat fraction, cross-sectional area of muscles, and T2 relaxation times of intervertebral discs.
- Results indicate that marathon runners had notable differences in fat fraction and muscle cross-sectional area, suggesting changes in lumbar spine and surrounding tissues related to their running activities.
Associations of sarcopenia and malnutrition with 30-day in-hospital morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery.

Institute of Health Science Innovation for Medical Care, Hokkaido University Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.
Objectives: Sarcopenia and malnutrition often occur simultaneously in adults with cardiovascular diseases. Our objective was to determine the associations of preoperative sarcopenia and malnutrition with major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) after cardiac surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 154 consecutive patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery between January 2015 and June 2018 at two institutions in Japan.
Oncological impact of the preoperative combined assessment of skeletal muscle mass for patients undergoing curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, The Cancer Institute Hospital of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, 3-8-31, Ariake, Koto-Ku, Tokyo, 135-8550, Japan.
Purpose: We performed a combined assessment of skeletal muscle mass using the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and the psoas muscle index (PMI) to evaluate their association with the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy.
Methods: We analyzed, retrospectively, the computed tomography records of skeletal muscle mass of patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for pStage I-III gastric cancer between April, 2010 and April, 2016. We then compared OS as the primary outcome, stratifying patients according to their SMI or PMI, and investigated prognostic factors using multivariate analyses.
GUIDANCE study: guided growth of the proximal femur to prevent further hip migration in patients with cerebral palsy-study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Up to one-third of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) develop hip migration. Current standard care for early hip migration is bilateral adductor-psoas tenotomy; however, the failure rate is relatively high with 34%-74% of patients with CP requiring secondary hip surgery. Using temporary medial hemiepiphysiodesis of the proximal femur (TMH-PF), the morphology of the hip can be changed.
