Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory spondyloarthropathy affecting the spine, progressively leads to increased spinal stiffness. This condition increases the risk of spine fractures in patients, even from trivial injuries. The process of slow bone formation within the ligaments of the spine and the fusion of the spinal diarthrosis contribute to the most prominent symptom of progressive stiffness of joints, predominantly affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints.

Article Synopsis
- Neurenteric cysts are rare problems that can cause serious issues like back pain and trouble moving in young adults and children.
- A 10-year-old boy had a successful surgery using a front approach to remove his cyst after having surgery before that didn’t fully fix his problem.
- The study shows that using the front approach for these surgeries in kids can be good and allows doctors to see the cyst better, but more research is needed to understand the long-term results.
Amelioration of Anxiety Associated with Opioid Withdrawal by Activation of Spinal Mechanoreceptors Via Novel Heterodyned Whole Body Vibration.
J Psychiatry Cogn Behav

Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, Provo, UT USA.
Objectives: Opioid use disorder (OUD)-associated overdose deaths have reached epidemic proportions worldwide. An important driving force for relapse is anxiety associated with opioid withdrawal. We hypothesized that our new technology, termed heterodyned whole-body vibration (HWBV) would ameliorate anxiety associated with OUD.

Department of Orthopedics, The University of Connecticut, 120 Dowling Way, Farmington, CT 06032, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Chin-on-chest deformity is a rare and debilitating condition involving a severe curve in the cervical spine, requiring various surgical techniques for treatment.
- A literature review analyzed 16 studies involving 288 patients, focusing on the effectiveness of three types of osteotomy procedures, including posterior column extension and pedicle subtraction.
- Although corrective surgeries significantly improved patients' pain and neck disability, the overall quality of the studies leaves room for doubt regarding the strength of the evidence.
