Pediatric spinal tumors include a variety of developmental lesions and uncommon neoplasms that differ significantly from those seen in adults. These conditions are underreported in the sub-Saharan medical literature. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl brought by her family to the University Teaching Hospital of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo with progressive lower limb functional impairment.

Wheelchair users with poor trunk control and postural abnormalities require additional posture support devices and wheelchair modifications to sit upright. Therefore, this study was conducted to observe the function of wheelchair users in the modified wheelchair and their satisfaction with both the modified wheelchair and intermediate wheelchair service. A descriptive study was conducted, and 14 participants were recruited through consecutive sampling.

Swiss Paraplegic Research, Nottwil, Switzerland.
Introduction: The transition from paediatric to adult medical care is a critical period for adolescents with spina bifida, often marked by deteriorating health and functional status.
Objectives: To describe the health status and functioning of individuals with spina bifida at the time of transition from paediatric to adult care and to identify risk profiles for potentially modifiable secondary health conditions (urinary tract infections, pressure injuries, respiratory problems and obesity).
Methods: Descriptive study of data (derived from medical records) from all adolescents and young adults with spina bifida aged 15-25 years who were referred to a single specialised spinal cord injury centre as part of the transition programme during the period from 1 September 2015 to 31 May 2022.

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the association between adherence to spinal cord injury-specific physical activity guidelines in manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury and shoulder pain prevalence.
Design: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the SwiSCI Community Survey 2022 data, assessing aerobic activity and muscle strength training adherence in manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury and shoulder pain prevalence. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between meeting the physical activity guidelines and shoulder pain.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated factors affecting shoulder pain among individuals with spinal cord injury in Switzerland, using data from surveys conducted in 2012, 2017, and 2022.
- The analysis found that 34.4% of respondents reported shoulder pain, with females, individuals with spasticity or contractures, those experiencing depression, and those with incomplete tetraplegia being at higher risk.
- Overall, findings highlight the importance of gender, injury severity, time since injury, health conditions, and wheelchair use as key determinants of shoulder pain variability among affected individuals.
