This comparative study used prospectively collected data from the Quality Outcomes Database to evaluate 60-month outcomes following minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) versus minimally invasive tubular decompression in patients with grade 1 degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. Of 608 patients in the database, 143 underwent MIS TLIF (n=72) or decompression alone (n=71); the overall cohort's 60-month follow-up rate was 86.8%. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in Oswestry Disability Index, leg pain, back pain and EQ-5D scores from baseline

New research reveals that non-ablative radiotherapy suppresses ventricular tachycardia by increasing conduction velocity via NaV1.5 upregulation and action potential prolongation. However, sustained sodium current elevation and depressed calcium handling highlight the need for careful clinical translation.

Recent research defines ferro-aging as a conserved iron-lipid axis driving organ decline across primates. Age-related iron dyshomeostasis stimulates ACSL4-mediated lipid peroxidation, promoting cellular senescence. Notably, vitamin C directly inhibits ACSL4, suppressing phospholipid oxidation and multi-organ decay.
