    Abstract Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem which can affect balance and, in turn, increase fall risk. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of a Sacroiliac Belt (SB) on balance and stability in patients with LBP.
    Methods: Subjects with LBP and without LBP ("Asymptomatic") were enrolled. Baseline balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. In a counterbalanced crossover design, LBP and Asymptomatic subjects were randomized to one of two groups: 1) start with wearing the SB (Serola Biomechanics, Inc.) followed by not wearing the SB or 2) start without wearing the SB followed by wearing the SB. For subjects in both groups, dynamic balance was then assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) with each leg planted.
    Results: Baseline balance was worse in LBP subjects (Berg 51/56) than Asymptomatic subjects (Berg 56/56) (p<0.01). SB significantly improved SEBT performance in LBP subjects regardless of which leg was planted (p<0.01). SB positively impacted Asymptomatic subjects' SEBT performance with the left leg planted (p=0.0002).
    Conclusion: The Serola Sacroiliac Belt positively impacted dynamic balance for subjects with low back pain. Further research is needed to examine additional interventions and outcomes related to balance in patients with back pain, and to elucidate the mechanisms behind improvements in balance related to sacroiliac belt utilization.

    Abstract Background: Lumbar spinal fusion is a commonly performed operation with relatively high complication and revision surgery rates. Lumbar disc replacement is less commonly performed but may have some benefits over spinal fusion. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of lumbar disc replacement (LDR) versus interbody fusion (IBF), assessing their comparative safety and effectiveness in treating lumbar DDD.
    Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-2) were searched up until February 2024. The studied outcomes included operative room (OR) time, estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOS), complications, reoperations, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), back pain, and leg pain.
    Results: Ten studies were included in this meta-analysis, of which six were randomized controlled trials, three were retrospective studies, and one was a prospective study. A total of 1720 patients were included, with 1034 undergoing LDR and 686 undergoing IBF. No statistically significant differences were observed in OR time, EBL, or LOS between the LDR and IBF groups. The analysis also showed no significant differences in the rates of complications, reoperations, and leg pain between the two groups. However, the LDR group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mean back pain (p=0.04) compared to the IBF group.
    Conclusion: Both LDR and IBF procedures offer similar results in managing CLBP, considering OR time, EBL, LOS, complication rates, reoperations, and leg pain, with slight superiority of back pain improvement in LDR. This study supports the use of both procedures in managing degenerative spinal disease.

    Abstract Study design: Meta-Analysis.
    Objective: This meta-analysis aims to compare same-day versus staged spine surgery, assessing their effects on patient care and healthcare system efficiency.
    Background: In spinal surgery, the debate between whether same-day and staged surgeries are better for patients continues, as the decision may impact patient related outcomes, healthcare resources and overall costs. While some surgeons advocate for staged surgeries citing reduced risks of complications, others proclaim same-day surgeries may minimize costs and length of hospital stays.
    Methods: PubMed, Cochrane and Google Scholar (Pages 1-20) were searched up until February 2024. The studied outcomes were operative room (OR) time, estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOS), overall complications, venous thromboembolism (VTE), death, reoperations and non-home discharge.
    Results: Sixteen retrospective studies were included in this meta-analysis, representing a total of 2346 patients of which 644 underwent staged spinal fusion surgeries and 1702 same-day surgeries. No statistically significant difference was observed in EBL between staged and same-day surgery groups. However, the staged group exhibited a statistically significant longer OR time (P= 0.05) and LOS (P=0.004). A higher rate of overall complications (P=0.002) and VTE (P=0.0008) was significantly associated with the staged group. No significant differences were found in the rates of death, reoperations, and non-home discharge between the two groups.
    Conclusion: Both staged and same-day spinal fusion surgeries showed comparable rates of death, reoperations and non-home discharges for patients undergoing spinal surgeries. However, given the increased OR time, LOS and complications associated with staged spinal surgeries, this study supports same-day surgeries when possible to minimize the burden on healthcare resources and enhance efficiency.

    Abstract Background: Cold air plasma (CAP) can generate plasma-activated liquids (PALs) with high concentrations of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS), e.g., nitrites, with antimicrobial properties.
    Aim: We investigated the concentrations of ROS and RNS in saline PAL. We assessed planktonic bacterial inactivation by PAL and the decontamination of contaminated cleaning cloths.
    Methods: Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was treated with an air-driven CAP jet for 90 or 300 s to generate PAL. The ROS and RNS were measured using quantitative fluorescent (2,7-dichlorofluorescin diacetate) and colourimetric (Greiss) assays. Isolates of MRSA and Escherichia coli were incubated in PAL overnight and inactivation measured through colony forming unit (cfu) assays. Sections of cleaning cloths were incubated with MRSA and E. coli, and treated with PAL for 1 h. Bacterial inactivation was measured through resazurin reduction assays.
    Results: Nitrites increased from 0.1 μM in untreated PBS to 49.1 μM and to 94.0 μM in 90- and 300-s CAP-treated PAL, respectively. ROS increased from 30 μM in untreated PBS to 75 μM and to 103 μM in 90- and 300-s CAP-treated PAL, respectively. 90-s PAL reduced MRSA and E. coli viability (P<0.05) and 300-s PAL resulted in more than a 7-log reduction of both. One-hour treatment of contaminated cleaning cloths in PAL resulted in a 55% and 73% reduction in viable MRSA and E. coli, respectively (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Inactivation of planktonic bacteria correlated with ROS and RNS concentrations. PAL reduced bacteria contaminated cleaning cloths. PAL has potential as a hospital disinfectant, including cleaning cloths.

    Abstract Background: Severe positive sagittal malalignment can potentially lead to shortening and contracture of the psoas and joint capsule in a flexed spinopelvic position. The utilization of bilateral psoas release to supplement sagittal spinal deformity correction in the same hospitalization was not reported in the literature.
    Case presentation: A 66-year-old patient presented with a 5-year history of severe global spinal deformity (sagittal vertical axis 220 mm, 60° spinopelvic mismatch) that did not improve on supine radiographs, and a modified Thomas test with more than 30° flexion contracture of bilateral hips. A 3-stage operation utilizing posterior spinal column osteotomies, anterior lumbar interbody fusion, and bilateral psoas releases was performed.
    Outcome: Her postoperative alignment significantly improved and she was pleased with her new posture and the ability to stand up straight.
    Conclusions: This report is the first to demonstrate safe and substantial correction of severe spinal deformities associated with bilateral hip flexion contracture in 1 hospitalization.

    Abstract Introduction: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess factors associated with work participation in people with visual impairments and to explore how these factors may have changed over time.
    Method: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase.com, EBSCO/APA PsycInfo, EBSCO/CINAHL and EBSCO/ERIC from database inception to 1 April 2022 was performed. We included studies with cross-sectional design, case-control, case-series or cohort design, involving visually impaired working-age adults with at least moderate visual impairment, and evaluated the association between visual impairment and work participation. Studies involving participants with deaf-blindness or multiple disabilities were excluded. We assessed study quality (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale [NOS]), examined between-study heterogeneity and performed subgroup analyses. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42021241076.
    Results: Of 13,585 records, 57 articles described 55 studies including 1,326,091 participants from mostly high-income countries. Sociodemographic factors associated with employment included higher education (odds ratio [OR] 3.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.47 to 4.51, I
    Conclusion: Several sociodemographic and disease related factors were associated with employment status. However, the results should be interpreted with caution because of overall high heterogeneity. Future research should focus on the role of workplace factors, technological adjustments and vocational rehabilitation services on work participation.
