Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an China.
Study Design/setting: A retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To compare long-term outcomes and complications of cervical disc replacement (CDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with cage-plate constructs (CPC) and stand-alone (SA) cages in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis.
Summary Of Background Data: ACDF is commonly used for cervical radiculopathy but may increase adjacent segment degeneration (ASD).
Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases, Beijing, China.
Study Design: A retrospective review of a prospective adult spinal deformity data.
Objective: To identify distinct patient clinical profiles and recovery trajectories in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).
Summary Of Background Data: Patients with ASD exhibit a diverse array of symptoms and significant heterogeneity in clinical presentations, posing challenges to precise clinical decision-making.

The management of the comorbidity is occasionally challenging due to the lack of consensus regarding treatment options including immunosuppressive agents, selective pulmonary vasodilators, and cardiac rehabilitation.
Case Summary: A 28-year-old female who terminated prednisolone after remission of SLE by her own discretion 3 years ago developed dyspnoea on effort.

Myeloid malignancies include various types of cancers that arise from abnormal development or proliferation of myeloid cells within the bone marrow. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatments, which show great potential for B cell and plasma cell cancers, face major challenges when used for myeloid malignancies. CAR natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy encounters several challenges in treating myeloid cancers, including: (1) poor gene transfer efficiency and expansion platforms in vitro, (2) limited proliferation and persistence in vivo, (3) antigenic heterogeneity, and (4) an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
