Randomized Controlled Trial
Cognitive Patient Education for Low Back Pain in Primary Care: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis.
A pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial in primary care. ⋯ This study showed no clinical or health economic benefits as a result of adding a cognitive education program to usual treatment for patients with subacute and chronic LBP. Potential weaknesses such as a long recruiting period and potentially low compliance with the cognitive intervention warrant a careful interpretation of the results.

A retrospective case series of UK victims of blast injury. ⋯ N/A.
-
A randomized experimental study. ⋯ A-68930 can attenuate tissue damage and improve neurological function recovery, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Fatigue Performance of Cortical Bone Trajectory Screw Compared to Standard Trajectory Pedicle Screw.
Cadaveric biomechanical study. ⋯ The standard pedicle screw had a better fatigue performance compared with the CBT screw in vertebra with compromised bone quality. The proper insertion of the CBT screw might be prevented by the laminar anatomy depending on the screw head design. The CBT screw damaged the bone along its shaft by rotating around a fulcrum, located at either the pars, pedicle isthmus, or the junction of the pedicle and superior endplate, contingent upon the strength of the bone.

A retrospective study. ⋯ The same change of LL and TK and no significant difference in LL-TK indicated that LL-TK might be an important compensatory mechanism in keeping sagittal balance.
