Basic Science. ⋯ DCM patients demonstrated a set of unique circulating miRNAs in addition to a different serum inflammatory profile compared with HC. These miRNAs may potentially serve as targets for future therapeutic intervention or diagnostic/prognostic testing.

Systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ Exposed endplate, especially as assessed by EED and ID:ED, is a significant risk factor for HO. Surgeons should focus on preoperative planning and intraoperative implant selection to maximize endplate coverage. While optimizing technique and implant selection is crucial, improved implant design may also be necessary to ensure that appropriate implant-endplate footprint matching is possible across the anatomic spectrum.
