Spinal injections are an important treatment option in the conservative management of many spinal disorders. A large number of imaging techniques are available to achieve a precise and safe needle placement in interventional procedures. Fluoroscopy-guided injections are safe, cost effective and available in most institutions. The following article presents an overview of common fluoroscopy-guided spinal injection therapy of the lumbar spine.

Purpose: Precise tumor excision is important but challenging in breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Tumor-specific fluorescence imaging may be used for intraoperative tumor detection and, therefore, to guide precise tumor excision. The aims of this study are to develop a glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)-targeted near-infrared fluorescence tracer and evaluate its accuracy for breast cancer detection using fresh surgical breast specimens.

The integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) related photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the strategy of reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) has emerged as a potential approach for nanodiagnostic and therapeutic interventions. However, the therapeutic efficacy based on ROS treatments may be hindered by intracellular antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) and tumor hypoxia. To address these challenges, a nanoplatform based on GSH-responsive multifunctional porphyrinic metal-organic framework (PCN-224@Au@MnO@HA, PAMH) was proposed.

Activatable multifunctional nanoparticles present considerable advantages in cancer treatment by integrating both diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities into a single platform. These nanoparticles can be precisely engineered to selectively target cancer cells, thereby reducing the risk of damage to healthy tissues. Once localized at the target site, they can be activated by external stimuli such as light, pH changes, or specific enzymes, enabling precise control over the release of therapeutic agents or the initiation of therapeutic effects.

Atlantoaxial osteoarthritis (AAOA) is a clinical syndrome that consists of occipitocervical pain and cervical rotation limitation. Its clinical recognition is often deficient leading to misdiagnosis and suboptimal treatment. The incidence of AAOA varies from 5% in the sixth decade to as much as 18% in the ninth decade of life.

Article Synopsis
- Seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses various types of arthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and others, mainly affecting appendicular joints like the feet and ankles.
- Imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US), is crucial for diagnosing peripheral seronegative SpA, revealing features like enthesitis and synovitis.
- US is not only cost-effective and easily applicable in outpatient settings but also helps in monitoring inflammation and guiding procedures like biopsies and steroid injections.
