Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) was associated with clinical and radiological subsequent adjacent fractures in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Materials And Methods: The systematic review was performed following PRISMA guidelines. Data were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrial.gov, from database inception to March 2020. Eligible studies were those that assessed subsequent adjacent fractures after PVA in comparison with conservative treatment (CT). The number of patients with adjacent secondary vertebral fractures was calculated, and the pooled risk ratio (RR) with its 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) was used. Moreover, heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias analyses were performed.
Results: Twenty-four studies were included finally. Moreover, 20/421 (4.75%) patients from the PVA group and 25/359 (6.96%) patients from the CT group had clinical subsequent adjacent fractures, and 46/440 (10.45%) patients from the PVA group and 36/444 (8.10%) patients from the CT group had radiological subsequent adjacent fractures. Both had no significant difference between the two groups (RR = 0.67, 95% CI [0.38, 1.19], p = 0.17)/(RR = 1.13, 95% CI [0.75, 1.70], p = 0.576). However, the number of fractured vertebrae was higher in the PVA group than in the CT group (RR = 1.41, 95% CI [1.03, 1.93], p = 0.03). A sensitivity analysis did not identify specific trials that seriously deflected. No obvious publication bias was identified.
Conclusions: The systematic review revealed that PVA did not increase the incidence for subsequent adjacent fractures regardless of whether they were clinical or radiological fractures. However, PVA can increase the number of subsequent fractures at adjacent vertebral levels.

FDA-MIMO Radar Rapid Target Localization via Reconstructed Reduce Dimension Rooting.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
School of Electronic Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China.
Frequency diversity array-multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar realizes an angle- and range-dependent system model by adopting a slight frequency offset between adjacent transmitter sensors, thereby enabling potential target localization. This paper presents FDA-MIMO radar-based rapid target localization via the reduction dimension root reconstructed multiple signal classification (RDRR-MUSIC) algorithm. Firstly, we reconstruct the two-dimensional (2D)-MUSIC spatial spectrum function using the reconstructed steering vector, which involves no coupling of direction of arrival (DOA) and range.

: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of vertebral refractures following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and to explore risk factors for augmented vertebral refractures, thereby assisting spinal surgeons in clinical practice. : We analyzed the records of 495 patients with single-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) who were treated with single-entry PKP at our institution from March 2016 to August 2022. Univariate analysis, binary logistic regression, and ROC curve analysis were performed to determine potential risk factors, independent risk factors, and discrimination ability.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.

The tea mosquito bug, Waterhouse (Hemiptera: Miridae), is a devastating piercing-sucking pest in tropical tea plantations. The Hainan Dayezhong (HNDYZ) is a large-leaf tea cultivar widely cultivated around the Hainan tea region in South China. However, information regarding the feeding damage of on the HNDYZ tea plant remains scarce.

Nature plays a crucial role in providing ecosystem services (ESs) essential for human wellbeing and biodiversity conservation in rural areas. However, existing paradigms often lack an integrative approach towards rural livelihoods and wellbeing, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between human wellbeing (HWB) and ESs. The area around the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) offers such ESs to indigenous people who rely heavily on these natural resources.
