Background: A large variety of spinal meningeal diseases have been described in the literature, and differential diagnosis is often complex, requiring a good knowledge of the different entities and accurate neuroimaging. The purpose of this article was to depict the most relevant diagnostic features on the commonly utilized MRI sequences for the main and most frequent pathologies of the spinal arachnoid and to correlate them with intraoperative findings.

Material And Methods: Five cases harboring each different spinal meningeal diseases were analyzed, illustrated, extensively described, and discussed: arachnoid web, arachnoiditis, idiopathic spinal cord herniation, intradural arachnoid cyst, extradural arachnoid cyst.

Acute cholecystitis is a prevalent condition marked by gallbladder inflammation, typically due to gallstone obstruction, and poses management challenges, particularly for high-risk and elderly patients. This systematic review compares the efficacy and safety of two minimally invasive approaches: percutaneous drainage methods, such as percutaneous cholecystostomy, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). A structured search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase was conducted, yielding six randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria.

Background and objective Posterior column osteotomies, such as Smith-Petersen and Ponte osteotomies, are widely utilized in the surgical correction of spinal deformities to address sagittal and coronal imbalances by releasing the posterior tension band. While traditional methods using rongeurs and osteotomies are effective, these are often associated with prolonged operative time, significant blood loss, and increased risk to neural structures. These challenges have driven interest in advanced tools like the ultrasonic bone scalpel (UBS), which uses high-frequency vibrations to enable precise bone cutting with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

In August 2023, disease symptoms were noted on mint plants (Mentha arvensis) in two southwest Idaho fields with 10 to 30% of the plants exhibiting dark brown stem lesions and root necrosis. To identify the causal agent, isolations from symptomatic tissue were conducted. The surface of the disease material was treated with sodium hypochlorite (0.
