Article Abstract
With the vast increase in spinal surgery research and accessibility, critical evaluation of studies is paramount. Historically, P values and confidence intervals have been the gold standard, but more recently, the inclusion of the Fragility Index has brought a more holistic approach. The Fragility Index aims to communicate the robustness of a trial and how tenuous statistical significance may be. It can be used in conjunction with more traditional methods for evaluating research.

An International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) comprehensive core set for vertebral fragility fracture.

Purpose: To develop a comprehensive ICF Core Set (ICF-CS) for vertebral fragility fracture.
Materials And Methods: The development of ICF-CSs involves three phases: i) systematic literature review and qualitative studies; ii) linking process to identify the ICF codes and categories; iii) international consensus process. i) We performed a literature search and qualitative studies with people with vertebral fragility fractures and healthcare professionals; ii) We linked the findings from the search and qualitative studies to the ICF categories, and drafted the proposed ICF-CS; iii) We performed an international consensus process involving experts with clinical or research experience in management of vertebral fragility fractures.

Division of Neonatology, Center for Maternal-Neonatal Care, Nagoya University Hospital, Nagoya, JPN.
This case report describes the implementation of Family-Centered Care (FCC) and developmental occupational therapy (OT) for an extremely preterm infant born at 22 weeks and one day of gestation, weighing 448 g. The infant experienced multiple complications, including necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, and respiratory distress, requiring prolonged intensive care. Due to physiological fragility and immature neurobehavior, a structured rehabilitation approach was introduced, integrating OT and caregiver participation based on FCC principles.

Platelet transfusion not only attenuates bleeding and promotes hemostasis but also plays a critical role in vascular stability and endothelial barrier integrity. Under amotosalen-UVA pathogen reduction of platelets, pathogen nucleic acids undergo adduction, which prevents their replication and greatly reduces the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections. Although pathogen-reduced (PR) platelets are increasing in clinical use, the physiologic effects of pathogen reduction on platelets, particularly its impact on platelet-endothelial interactions, have yet to be described.

Desmoplakin (DP) is a key DSM protein which anchors plaque proteins to keratins, thereby ensuring tissue integrity under mechanical stress. Clinically, DP mutations impair keratinocyte adhesion and structural integrity, leading to skin fragility disorders.
