To determine the relationship between mobility levels (turning from one side to another in bed, sitting on the edge of the bed, standing at the edge of the bed, and walking inside the patient room) of older patients undergoing spinal surgery and their fear of pain and falling, and the factors affecting them. A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 144 older individuals who underwent spinal surgery. Female gender and post-operative pain were predictors of total and all sub-dimensions of mobility level in older patients who underwent spinal surgery. It was determined that the presence of chronic disease was the predictor of the sub-dimensions of turning from one side to the another in bed and standing at the edge of the bed while using aids and fear of falling were the predictors of the sub-dimensions of standing at the edge of the bed and walking inside the patient room.

Oral fluid supplementation for the prevention of post-dural puncture headache: A noninferiority randomized controlled trial.
PLoS One
March 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France.
Aim(s): To investigate the impact of the absence of specific advice for oral fluid intake, compared to supplementation water intake on the occurrence of post-dural puncture headache.
Design: A prospective, open-label, non-inferiority, multicenter trial including hospitalized patients requiring a diagnostic lumbar puncture in seven hospitals in France.
Methods: Patients were randomly allocated (1:1) either to receive no specific advice on oral fluid intake (FREE-FLUID), or to be encouraged to drink 2 liters of water (CONTROL) within the 2 hours after lumbar puncture.
Background: In Germany, the incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury is approximately 16 per million inhabitants per year. This article aims to present evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic measures for the first 14 days after injury to minimize neural damage, prevent complications, and preserve functioning as much as possible.
Methods: After the formulation of key questions, systematic literature searches were carried out on multiple topics.
Individualized Hyaluronidase-Facilitated Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin 10% Administration in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy: The Nurse's Role.

Hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) 10% offers potential improvements in patient independence and tolerability versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) when used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). fSCIG 10% also requires less frequent infusions and fewer infusion sites than conventional subcutaneous immunoglobulin (subcutaneous immunoglobulin without hyaluronidase). The ADVANCE-CIDP 1 study demonstrated fSCIG 10% efficacy and safety in preventing CIDP relapse and positive responses from patients in terms of satisfaction and treatment preference.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)
March 2025
Department of Neurological Surgery, Policlinico "G. Rodolico-S. Marco" University Hospital, Viale Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, 95121, Catania, Italy.
Background: Atypical Hangman's fractures may involve bilateral C2 pedicle fractures. Surgical fixation is often required to prevent instability and neurological impairment. The Judet technique, involving transpedicular screw fixation, offers a targeted approach to stabilize C2 pedicle fractures while preserving cervical motion.

Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

Nihon University School of Medicine, Itabashiku, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: Several risk factors for adjacent segment disease (ASD) after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) have been reported. High pelvic incidence (PI) has been identified as risk factors for L4 anterior slip in cases of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. Correcting the slip with L4-L5 fixation merely restores the lumbar alignment, but the PI itself remains unchanged.
