Imaging-guided interventional procedures have become increasingly popular in the treatment of several pathologic conditions in the musculoskeletal system. Besides oncological treatments, musculoskeletal procedures can be performed to treat different degenerative or inflammatory conditions. This paper is aimed to review clinical indications and technical aspects of these kinds of procedures. In particular, we revise the general aspects common to most procedures and the different imaging-guided interventions which can be performed around joints, soft tissues, and spine.

The latest generation of wrist arthroplasties provides good clinical function and pain relief with an acceptable revision/reoperation rate. The procedure is complex and technically demanding, both for the surgeon and the patient. The available implants (with the exception of one) have not been developed or refined in the last decade, which reduces the versatility and ability to adapt to specific patient anatomy, to manage implant/treatment problems and to perform successful revisions.

Total wrist arthrodesis can be used to treat symptomatic end-stage wrist osteoarthritis after failed conservative treatment. It can also be considered the last-resort option when partial fusion, proximal row carpectomy, denervation or prosthetic arthroplasty is unsuccessful. Currently anatomic pre-contoured low-profile plates with angle stable screws are available with or without inclusion of the carpometacarpal joints.

Background: FDA-approved carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) have been shown to attenuate Aβ pathology, neurodegeneration, and cerebrovascular dysfunction in models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), suggesting a key role for CAs as a novel and previously unexplored target for AD therapy. Amyloid β accumulation severely impairs the cerebral neuro-signaling pathway with a progressive loss in neurotrophic factors (NTFs, i.e.

Background: Oxidative stress is formed by a perturbation of redox homeostasis and linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) [1]. This imbalance results in an abundance of free radicals that exceeds the antioxidant capacity. Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme responsible for producing uric acid through the metabolism of purine nucleotides, specifically hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid [2].
