Beta-thalassaemia, an autosomal recessive haemoglobinopathy, ranks among the most frequent monogenetic diseases globally. The severe form of the disease, beta-thalassaemia major, is accompanied by progressive involvement of multiple organ systems as a result of the disease pathophysiology as well as iron overload from blood transfusions on a regular basis. Some of the manifestations might also be caused by medications used to manage iron overload. The purpose of this review is to highlight the rheumatological complications of beta-thalassaemia, which include musculoskeletal manifestations, such as arthritis and arthropathies, joint effusions, osteoporosis, bone fractures and myalgias, in addition to CTDs, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Rheumatologists are strongly encouraged to take part in a multidisciplinary approach to the management of this debilitating disease.

Percutaneous lumbar pedicle fixation in young children with flexion-distraction injury-case report and operative technique

Paul R. Krafft, Mohammad Hassan A. Noureldine, George Jallo, Suken A. Shah, Puya Alikhani

Summary: Percutaneous pedicle fixation is feasible in young children with thoracolumbar fractures, but poses greater challenges due to differences in spinal characteristics that need to be considered. Further studies are required to compare outcomes of minimally invasive techniques to traditional open surgery in children.

Transpalpebral transorbital neuroendoscopic (TONES) repair of orbital meningoencephalocele: a technical note

Ivo Peto, Marek Molcanyi, Mohammad Hassan A. Noureldine, Jasmina Bajric, Siviero Agazzi

Summary: The study introduced a minimally invasive alternative treatment option for intraorbital encephalocele, called transorbital neuroendoscopic approach (TONES). The procedure was successful and well tolerated by patients, ultimately resolving proptosis with excellent cosmetic outcome.

Teflon versus Ivalon in Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia: A 2-Center 10-Year Comparison

Elliot Pressman, Hirotaka Hasegawa, Jeffrey Farooq, Salomon Cohen-Cohen, Mohammad Hassan A. Noureldine, Jay Kumar, Liwei Chen, Rahul Mhaskar, Harry van Loveren, Jamie J. Van Gompel, Siviero Agazzi

Summary: The study found no significant difference in final outcomes or risk of relapse between the use of Teflon and Ivalon in microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, although Ivalon was associated with a higher incidence of temporary postoperative hearing difficulty.

Summary: Carpenter's syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by craniosynostosis and polysyndactyly. Early correction of craniofacial deformities can lead to satisfactory outcomes, but careful consideration of potential risks is necessary.

Predicting neurosurgical clearance in the polytrauma patient with concomitant traumatic brain injury

Mohammad Hassan A. Noureldine, Sara Hartnett, Gleb Zavadskiy, Elliot Pressman, Joon Kyung Kim, Donald Davis, David Ciesla, Brooke Bull, Siviero Agazzi

Summary: The study aimed to develop a model to assist in decision-making for non-cranial surgery in TBI patients with polytrauma. The findings suggest that neurosurgeons tend to be risk-averse, leading to delayed clearance of polytrauma patients. The developed model may prove to be a useful tool to assist clinicians in this difficult decision-making process.

How to best manage a patient with Bacillus endophthalmitis: current insights

Amin Ahmadi, Mohammad Soleimani, Ali A. Haydar, Shima Moslemi Haghighi

Summary: Despite the available treatment modalities for Bacillus endophthalmitis, the high rates of vision and globe loss suggest a need for further research on targeted therapies against Bacillus cereus at the molecular and inflammatory levels. Careful attention to symptoms and immediate diagnosis are crucial in managing this condition.

Improved Outcomes with Concurrent Instrumentation and Fusion of the Sacroiliac Joint in Patients with Long Lumbosacral Constructs

Mohammad Hassan A. Noureldine, Jeffrey Farooq, Jay Kumar, Elliot Pressman, Emily Coughlin, Rahul Mhaskar, Puya Alikhani

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of patients with constructs connected to the pelvis and patients with additional SIJ fusion following instrumentation. The results showed that simultaneous SIJ instrumentation and fusion can reduce disability risk, prevent postoperative SIJ pain, and protect the screws from loosening and failure.

Corneal biophysical changes after upper eyelid blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery: a review

Mostafa Heidari, Ali A. Haydar, Mohammad Taher Rajabi, Seyed Mohsen Rafizadeh

Summary: This article reviews the effects of upper eyelid surgery on ocular properties and visual function. The results indicate that eyelid surgery can modify retinal lighting and ocular optics, leading to alterations in intraocular pressure estimation, corneal curvature, corneal epithelial thickness, refractive power of the cornea, and intraocular lens calculation. Additionally, it can exacerbate dry eye symptoms and impact contrast sensitivity, which significantly affects visual quality.
