Morphological and Clinical Aspects of Pott's Disease in Ancient Human Remains: A Scoping Review.
The present study is a scoping review of the literature on Pott disease in ancient human remains. ⋯ Although most of the findings are consistent with the literature, since the majority of the human remains were from Europe and the Near Middle East, more research is necessary in other sectors of the world. The suggestion of a male predominance needs to be confirmed and questions about the possible pathognomic role of rib lesions as well Serpes endocranica symmetrica (SES) represent further areas of research that need to be explored.

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.

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.
