This was a retrospective study about sacral giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). ⋯ Ultra-short course of neo-adjuvant denosumab for sacral GCTB could elicit radiological and histological responses as conventional course did. The less degree of fibrosis and ossification might facilitate nerve-sparing surgery and help to achieve satisfactory local control and functional status.Level of Evidence: 4.

A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ The ensemble classifiers successfully predict the prolonged ICU-stay and the prolonged hospital-stay, which showed a high potential of assisting physicians in managing SCI patients in ICU and make full use of medical resources.Level of Evidence: 3.
