Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.

The efficacy of preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery (preRT + S) for primary retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) remains unclear. This study aimed to compare preRT + S with surgery alone (SA) in patients with RPS. Core databases were searched for directly comparative studies depending on preRT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTrimethyltin chloride (TMT), an organotin compound with potent neurotoxicity, is widely used as a heat stabilizer for plastics. However, the precise pathogenic mechanism of TMT remains incompletely elucidated, and there persists a dearth of sensitive detection methodologies for early diagnosis of TMT. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 10 mg/kg TMT to simulate acute exposure in humans.

Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease, affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States, with 200,000 more at risk. Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by mutant huntingtin (mHTT) drives early HD pathophysiology. mHTT binds the translocase of mitochondrial inner membrane (TIM23) complex, inhibiting mitochondrial protein import and altering the mitochondrial proteome.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in 36 low- and middle-income countries, with the majority located in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), South America and Southeastern Asia. The highest regional incidence and mortality occur in SSA. Despite the high efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in preventing cervical cancer, its uptake remains unacceptably low in SSA.
