Objective: The main objective is to explore the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) three-dimensional reconstruction combined with plain film X-ray in spiral injuries.
Methods: By means of retrospective study, the data of 100 patients with spiral injury treated in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and all patients received MRI scan, MSCT three-dimensional reconstruction, and plain film X-ray examination, and by taking the operation results as the reference, the diagnostic results of different diagnostic modalities were analyzed, and the accordance rates (diagnostic result/surgical result × 100%) of the three diagnostic modalities and their combination were calculated, respectively.
Results: Among the 100 patients, 52 cases (52%) had a fracture at the anterior column of the spine, 28 cases (28%) had a fracture at the middle column of the spine, and 20 cases (20%) had a fracture at the posterior column of spine; 24 cases (24%) had simple flexion compression fracture, 60 cases (60%) had burst fracture, 6 cases (6%) had seat belt fracture, and 10 cases (10%) had fracture dislocation. The accordance rate of combined diagnosis for fracture site was 100%, and that for fracture type was 98.0%; MRI could visualize bone marrow injuries, ligamentous injuries, soft tissue injuries, and nerve root injuries that could not be visualized on X-ray plain films, and 3D reconstruction with MSCT could clearly demonstrate the 3D relationship of spinal fracture displacement, fracture line orientation, and spinal injury.
Conclusion: Plain film X-ray is the basic method for diagnosing spinal injuries, while MRI and MSCT have their unique advantages in this regard, and patients with a negative result of X-ray plain film can be examined by MRI and MSCT to observe the spinal injury comprehensively.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and assess an immersive virtual reality program (EGOTTP) for teaching wrist goniometry to occupational therapy students.
- Participants found the program easy to use and reported a high level of engagement and embodiment during the training.
- The results suggest that VR training can effectively enhance manual skills education, potentially offering a complementary method to traditional teaching approaches as VR technology becomes more accessible.
Impact of Overall and Specific Dimensions of Schizotypy on Theory of Mind.
Psychopathology
December 2024
NY MIRECC, The James J. Peters VA Medical Center, Bronx, New York, USA.
Background: Impairments in theory of mind (ToM) are highly prevalent among individuals with schizophrenia, resulting in substantial functional deficits. However, research on impairments in individuals with schizotypy has yielded inconsistent findings, with some studies finding ToM deficits in overall schizotypy, other studies finding ToM deficits in only specific schizotypy dimensions, and yet other studies finding no ToM deficits at all. One potential key factor that may account for this discrepancy is the use of schizotypy measures that do not adequately measure specific schizotypy dimensions.
