Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical management of an osteoblastoma involving the entire C2 vertebra.
Materials And Methods: A 14-year-old girl presented with unbearable neck pain. Her medical history was unremarkable. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed lytic and osteoblastic bone lesions involving the entire C2 vertebra. The tumor was resected in two stages with vertebral artery mobilization. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoblastoma. The pain resolved postoperatively, and the patient had no further complaints. Sufficient fusion formation and no tumor recurrence with no complaints were seen in postoperatively 4 years.
Conclusion: Marginal resection remains the best treatment for osteoblastoma of the spine. If tumor tissue surrounds the vertebral artery, the vertebral artery should be mobilized and the surrounding tumor mass excised.

Introduction: The combination of magnetic and focused ultrasonic fields generates focused electric fields at depth entirely noninvasively. This noninvasive method may find particularly important applications in targeted treatments of the deep brain circuits involved in mental and neurological disorders. Due to the novelty of this method, it is nonetheless unknown which parameters modulate neural activity effectively.

Antibiotic pollution, particularly the persistence of Sulfaquinoxaline (SQ) residues in livestock and poultry farming environments, has emerged as a pressing environmental concern. Despite this, there remains a limited understanding of the optimized conditions and mechanisms for the efficient degradation of SQ by microorganisms. To address this knowledge gap, we isolated Bacillus sp.

Introduction: We aim to identify risk factors that predict refractory convulsive status epilepticus (RCSE) and to develop a model for early recognition of patients at high risk for RCSE.
Methods: This study involved 200 patients diagnosed with convulsive status epilepticus (CSE), of whom 73 were RCSE and 127 were non-RCSE. Variables included demographic information, lifestyle factors, medical history, comorbidities, clinical symptoms, neuroimaging characteristics, laboratory tests, and nutritional scores.

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a disease characterized by airway obstruction and fibrosis that can occur in all age groups. Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a clinical manifestation of BO in patients who have undergone lung transplantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Persistent inflammation and fibrosis of small airways make the disease irreversible, eventually leading to lung failure.

Knee pain in patients often involves varus deformity and unicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA). High tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) is increasingly recognized as an effective treatment, as it realigns the knee's mechanical axis towards the healthier lateral compartment, delaying degenerative changes in the medial compartment and reducing the need for joint replacement. This case report discusses two patients with bilateral knee arthritis and varus deformity who underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) using Dr.
