The World Wide Web has grown during the last years to a considerable source of medical information for experts as well as for laymen and patients. The quality of this information is subjected to some limitation linked with the structure of the Internet and the management of Internet pages. The cross- sectional study presented evaluates and compares quality and reliability of information with respect of osteosarcoma in the most common German-language Internet pages for medical information. As both, one of the most common primary malignant bone tumors and its peak of incidence at the age of childhood and youth, osteosarcoma is considered of significant importance in orthopedic oncology.

The advancement of personalized treatments in oncology has garnered increasing attention, particularly for rare and aggressive cancer with low survival rates like the bone tumors osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. This study introduces a novel PDMS-agarose microfluidic device tailored for generating patient-derived tumor spheroids and serving as a reliable tool for personalized drug screening. Using this platform in tandem with a custom imaging index, we evaluated the impact of the anticancer agent doxorubicin on spheroids from both tumor types.

Disulfidotosis is a newly identified form of cell death associated with tumor response, patient outcomes, and cancer progression. This study aims to identify disulfidptosis-related genes (DiRGs) and their role in osteosarcoma (OS) to predict prognosis and optimize drug therapy for better patient survival. Gene expression matrices and clinical information on OS were obtained from the TARGET and GEO databases.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical fixation is frequently used to treat various spinal conditions and the study aimed to investigate risks related to high-riding vertebral arteries (HRVA), narrow C2 pedicles (NC2P), and ponticulus posticus (PP) that can occur during screw placement.
- The study analyzed 382 C2 vertebrae using CT angiography to measure specific parameters and found that 9.6% of patients had HRVA and 13% had NC2P, with notable differences in prevalence between males and females.
- The findings stressed the importance of understanding the presence of HRVA, NC2P, and PP to improve safety during cervical fixation procedures, with digital models aiding in planning the screw trajectory and minimizing the risk of

Objective: The incidence of osteosarcoma (OS) is low, but primary malignant bone tumors rank third among the causes of death in cancer patients under the age of 20. Currently, analysis of cellular structure and tumor morphology through microscopic images remains one of the main diagnostic methods for osteosarcoma. However, this completely manual approach is tedious, time-consuming, and difficult to diagnose accurately due to the similarities in certain characteristics of malignant and benign tumors.
