Clinical Outcomes and Safety Comparison of Vertebroplasty, Balloon Kyphoplasty, and Vertebral Implant for Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol
November 2023
Non-Vascular Interventional Neuroradiology (M.K.), Department of Radiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Article Synopsis
- Vertebral compression fractures are common in older adults, and this study compares the effectiveness and safety of three surgical treatments: balloon kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, and SpineJack vertebral implant.
- A multi-institutional review analyzed outcomes from 344 procedures, focusing on pain relief, restoration of vertebral body height, and changes in spinal curvature, assessing complications within 90 days post-surgery.
- Results showed significant pain improvement across all treatments, but the SpineJack implant led to better outcomes in terms of worst pain, vertebral height restoration, and alignment than both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty.
Association of Reversal of Renin Suppression With Long-Term Renal Outcome in Medically Treated Primary Aldosteronism.
Hypertension
September 2023
Endocrinology and Diabetes Center, Yokohama Rosai Hospital, Japan (K.N., J.S., T.N., Y.T.).
Article Synopsis
- Renin suppression in primary aldosteronism is linked to kidney damage due to high aldosterone levels, and reversing this suppression through treatment may improve renal health.
- A study analyzed data from 318 patients treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to see if restoring renin levels affects kidney function over time.
- Results showed that patients who managed to reverse renin suppression experienced a slower decline in kidney function compared to those who remained suppressed, suggesting that proper treatment may help protect the kidneys.
In the Dobbs decision the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, returning the issue of abortion to the states. To date, there is little published data on the impact this might have on where future residents choose to pursue graduate medical education.

Background: The California-Mexico border region is a high-volume trauma area with populations of widely disparate socioeconomic status. This work analyzed differences in demographics and mechanism of injury in children using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a composite measure of 17 markers of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of pediatric patients evaluated at the regional Level I Pediatric Trauma Center between 2008 and 2018.

Background And Objectives: To understand the course of recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to determine its predictors, including patients' pre-COVID-19 physical and mental health status.
Methods: This prospective and longitudinal cohort study recruited patients with MS who reported COVID-19 from March 17, 2020, to March 19, 2021, as part of the United Kingdom MS Register (UKMSR) COVID-19 study. Participants used online questionnaires to regularly update their COVID-19 symptoms, recovery status, and duration of symptoms for those who fully recovered.
Endothelial Cell Receptors in Tissue Lipid Uptake and Metabolism.

Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, New York University Grossman School of Medicine (A.G.C., D.B., I.J.G.).
Lipid uptake and metabolism are central to the function of organs such as heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Although most heart energy derives from fatty acids (FAs), excess lipid accumulation can cause cardiomyopathy. Similarly, high delivery of cholesterol can initiate coronary artery atherosclerosis.

University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora (P.M.H.).
Despite decades of improvement in the quality and outcomes of cardiovascular care, significant gaps remain. Existing quality improvement strategies are often limited in scope to specific clinical conditions and episodic care. Health services and outcomes research is essential to inform gaps in care but rarely results in the development and implementation of care delivery solutions.

February 2019
From the Antenatal Diagnostic Unit (A.G., E.K., D.H., R.B., S.L.), Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Background And Purpose: In recent years, effort has been made to study 3D biometry as a method for fetal brain assessment. In this study, we aimed to compare brain volumes of fetuses with cytomegalovirus infection and noninfected controls. Also, we wanted to assess whether there is a correlation to their neurodevelopmental outcome as observed after several years.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of short-term inspiratory and expiratory muscle training (IEMT) in subacute stroke patients.
Methods: Within 2 weeks of stroke onset, 109 patients with a first ischemic stroke event were randomly assigned to the IEMT (n = 56) or sham IEMT (n = 53) study group. The IEMT consisted of 5 sets of 10 repetitions, twice a day, 5 days per week for 3 weeks, at a training workload equivalent to 30% of maximal respiratory pressures.
