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.

Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study OBJECTIVE.: Identify the pathoanatomical features of the cervical spine associated with congenital stenosis SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Congenital cervical stenosis (CCS) describes a patient with a decreased spinal canal diameter at multiple levels of the cervical spine in the absence of degenerative changes. Despite recognition of CCS throughout the literature, the anatomical features that lead to this condition have not been established. Knowledge of the pathoanatomy behind CCS may lead to alterations in surgical technique for this patient population that may improve outcomes. ⋯ 4.

A cross-sectional study. ⋯ The spinal cord diameter was independent of the spinal canal diameter and the relative size of a spinal cord and spinal canal differed on an individual basis. In addition, the ratio of spinal cord/dural sac in subjects with SCC was significantly larger. Therefore, a relatively large spinal cord could be a risk factor for SCC.

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.
