Article Abstract
Synaptic spine loss is an early pathophysiologic hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD) that precedes overt loss of dendritic architecture and frank neurodegeneration. While spine loss signifies a decreased engagement of postsynaptic neurons by presynaptic targets, the degree to which loss of spines and their passive components impacts the excitability of postsynaptic neurons and responses to surviving synaptic inputs is unclear. Using passive multicompartmental models of CA1 pyramidal neurons (PNs), implicated in early AD, we find that spine loss alone drives a boosting of remaining inputs to their proximal and distal dendrites, targeted by CA3 and entorhinal cortex (EC), respectively. This boosting effect is higher in distal versus proximal dendrites and can be mediated by spine loss restricted to the distal compartment, enough to impact synaptic input integration, somatodendritic backpropagation, and plateau potential generation. This has particular relevance to very early stages of AD in which pathophysiology extends from EC to CA1.

Primary microcephaly, a rare congenital condition characterized by reduced brain size, occurs due to impaired neurogenesis during brain development. Through whole-exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in CENTRIN 3 (CETN3) in a 5-year-old patient with primary microcephaly. As CETN3 has not been previously linked to microcephaly, we investigated its potential function in neurodevelopment in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids.

Background: Animal studies show ovarian follicle damage and mutagenesis after ionizing radiation exposure. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is commonly done outside pregnancy, but risks to future pregnancy are unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the risk for spontaneous pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies in offspring of women exposed to CT ionizing radiation before conception.
Minimally Invasive vs Open Surgery for Thoracolumbar Fractures in Patients With Ankylosing Spinal Diseases: A Meta-Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
August 2025
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Aoun, Sebaaly), Hotel Dieu de France Hospital, Beirut, LEBANON, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Diebo, Daniels), Brown University, Providence, RI, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Cottrill, Passias), Duke University, Durham,
Background: Surgical management of thoracolumbar fractures in patients with ankylosing spinal disorders such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis remains debated. Although several studies have compared minimally invasive surgery to open fixation of thoracolumbar fractures in this patient population, a meta-analysis compiling the literature on this topic is lacking.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1 to 20) were accessed and explored until October 2024.
Personalized porous tantalum implants crafted via 3D printing: new horizons in complex cervical-thoracic spinal fusion.

Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation, Jiangbei Branch of The First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University), Chongqing, China.
Background: Complex interbody fusion remains challenging, while traditional surgical instruments are not suitable for complex spinal deformities. Porous tantalum (Ta) has excellent osteogenic properties, but there is currently a lack of research on its application in cervical thoracic interbody fusion.
Objective: To introduce the application of selective electron beam melting (SEBM) 3D printing technology in customized porous Ta vertebral fusion implants and evaluate its mid-term clinical efficacy in complex cervical thoracic fusion surgery.
Risk factors for postoperative complications after UBE surgery for thoracic spinal stenosis and construction of a nomogram predictive model.

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate the first nomogram model for predicting postoperative complications in thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) patients undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), integrating multidimensional risk factors to provide a quantitative basis for preoperative risk evaluation and individualized treatment planning.
Methods: Patients were divided into a retrospective training cohort ( = 375) and a prospective validation cohort ( = 100). Baseline clinical data [age, diabetes, preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score], radiographic parameters (Spinal cord/canal area (SC/ECA) ratio, intramedullary high signal, thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle), and surgical variables (intraoperative blood loss, number of lesion segments, dural adhesion, etc.
