KEY FINDING: A dominant right vertebral artery was found to originate from the right internal carotid artery in a 76-year-old female.

KEY FINDING: A 55-year-old man with a stable L1 burst fracture developed delayed neurological deficits two weeks after sustaining a fall, despite no evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic spinal cord abnormalities on MRI.

KEY FINDING: The degree of cord compression was remarkably increased in both groups with cervical ranging from flexion to extension.

KEY FINDING: FA values were negatively correlated with the degree of central canal stenosis, while RD values showed a positive correlation.

KEY FINDING: Ultrasonic treatment disordered the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in newt notochord cells into irregularly rounded vesicles.

KEY FINDING: Participants with chronic WAD showed reduced spinal cord motor tract integrity compared to controls.

KEY FINDING: qMT PSR measurements reflect the myelination status of the white matter tissue. The riluzole treatment group indicated significantly higher PSR values in white matter voxels at the epicenter of injury compared to the HBC vehicle treatment group.

KEY FINDING: The CBCT image center exhibits excellent short-term positional reproducibility, with less than 0.1 mm of wobble in each direction during consecutive acquisitions.

KEY FINDING: Combined posteroanterior surgery led to the best correction of posttraumatic deformity.

KEY FINDING: Silica-coated GNSs exhibit a threefold improvement in photoacoustic stability compared to uncoated GNSs, making them more reliable for PAI.
