We report a case of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) associated with profound hypermagnesemia immediately after cementation of a novel magnesium-based cement in spine surgery. During T8 to T12 posterior instrumentation and decompression laminectomy for vertebral metastasis secondary to lung cancer, a 61-year-old Chinese woman developed sudden hypotension and went into PEA immediately after injection of a novel magnesium-based cement. Intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging did not show any notable cement extravasation.

Objective: Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are a global health issue, with the choice between cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty remaining a topic of debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effects of the two surgical options on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mortality, and functional outcomes.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing cemented with uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients aged 50 years and older with femoral neck fractures.

Human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels, widespread deforestation, soil erosion or machine-intensive farming methods, manufacturing, food processing, mining, and construction iron, cement, steel, and chemicals industry, have been the main drivers of the observed increase in Earth's average surface temperature and climate change. Rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, ecosystems disruption, agricultural impacts, water scarcity, problems in access to good quality water, food and housing, and profound environmental disruptions such as biodiversity loss and extreme pollution are expected to steeply increase the prevalence and severity of acute and chronic diseases. Its long-term effects cannot be adequately predicted or mitigated without a comprehensive understanding of the adaptive ecosystems.

Purpose: To investigate the local recurrence rate, joint preservation status, and functional outcomes after extended curettage and postoperative denosumab treatment for Campanacci Grade III giant cell tumors of the extremities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with Campanacci Grade III GCTB of the extremities in our hospital between January 2017 and June 2023 who underwent extended curettage and postoperative denosumab administration alone, without preoperative denosumab treatment. Patients were followed-up for adverse events of denosumab, surgical outcomes, limb function of lesions, and local recurrence following extended curettage with postoperative denosumab.
