Syrinx in spontaneous intracranial hypotension treated by surgical disconnection of CSF venous fistula.

A 49-year-old woman developed symptoms of syringomyelia 3 years after having presented with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). She had previously undergone two unsuccessful non-targeted epidural blood patches. The MR scan showed features of cervicothoracic syringomyelia and ongoing intracranial features of SIH.

Controlled Delivery of Immunomodulatory Factors for Mineralized Tissue Formation in an Inflammatory Microenvironment.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising cell-based therapy for bone healing, contributing to tissue regeneration through direct differentiation or immunomodulatory factor secretion. However, diseases that feature chronic or dysregulated inflammation, such as non-union fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), have proven difficult to treat with current MSC-based approaches. Here, it is investigated whether controlled delivery of immunomodulatory factors allows MSCs to simultaneously undergo osteogenic differentiation and modulate inflammation.

Intrasheath Tendon Subluxation Beyond the Ankle: The First Case Series in the Hand.

Peroneal tendon intrasheath subluxation is a well-established phenomenon in musculoskeletal ultrasound. However, until now, intrasheath tendon subluxation has not been described in the hand. This unique case series presents the first three reported cases of intrasheath tendon subluxation in the hand.

Healthy Smiles: An Investigation of Brief Online Interventions to Improve Oral Health among Young People Experiencing Psychological Distress.

Background: Young adults experiencing psychological distress are susceptible to poor oral health through a range of social, cognitive, and biological processes. However, only limited attention has been given to developing interventions to improve oral health behaviours and related factors in this population. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two brief, online interventions (education and education with motivational interviewing components) to an active control condition.
