Comparative Study
One-Level versus Two-Level Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) from L4-S1: Comparison of Complications, Alignment, and Patient Outcomes.
Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Level IV.

A genetic case-control study. ⋯ SNP rs10738445 were significantly associated with brace treatment effectiveness. The other four SNPs were not significantly associated with the outcome of bracing. More SNPs and predictors should be included in future study to develop a more accurate predictive model for clinical application.

Retrospective controlled cohort. ⋯ In postoperative PSF for patients with AIS receiving LB through ESPB, those who did not receive a PCA had lower opioid consumption without worse pain scores or mobility and had a lower LOS. Adding LB through ESPB to postoperative pain regimens effectively replaces a PCA by providing the same pain control and reducing overall opioid consumption and LOS.

Observational Study
Pathogenic Detection by Metagenomic next-generation Sequencing in Spinal Infections.
A retrospective, observational study. ⋯ The mNGS test exhibits rapidity, efficiency, and accuracy, rendering it of immense diagnostic and therapeutic value in the realm of spinal infection diseases.
