Article Abstract
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH, Forestier's disease) is a rare non-inflammatory degenerative-dystrophic disease of the musculoskeletal system, characterized by calcification of ligaments and tendons, in particular the anterior longitudinal ligament. It is rare, more often among men over 60 years old. When the cervical spine is affected, DISH manifests itself as neck pain, stiffness of movement, dysphagia and, in some cases, difficulty breathing. The main goal of surgical treatment of Forestier's disease is the removal of the osteophyte complex, however, with severe compression of the neck structures, indications may be given for the formation of a tracheostomy, installation of a nasogastric tube.

Minimally Invasive vs Open Surgery for Thoracolumbar Fractures in Patients With Ankylosing Spinal Diseases: A Meta-Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg

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.

Background: The concept of early-phase diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (EDISH) was recently introduced and its prevalence at the thoracic spine level was revealed. Some cases of EDISH progress to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) in association with being overweight. The prevalence and distribution of EDISH in the whole spine and related factors are unclear.

Objective: The evidence on ankylosing spinal disorders (ASDs), including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), in the context of spinal fracture stems from studies with relatively small sample sizes. There are no studies addressing the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes associated with spinal fracture in this population. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in complications, mortality, PROMs, and HRQOL in patients with and without ASD who had been treated for spinal fracture.

Background And Objective: Genetic polymorphisms have been associated with susceptibility to interstitial lung diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We have now examined the relation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and clinical course, including acute exacerbation (AE), in addition to disease susceptibility for IPF and unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs).
Methods: DNA samples were collected from 223 IPF patients and 160 unclassifiable IIP patients included in a prospective, multicentre observational study in Japan.
