The treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression is complex. The three treatment modalities that are currently applied (in a histologically non-specific manner) are surgery, radiotherapy and the administration of steroids. The development of new spinal instrumentations and surgical approaches considerably changed the extent of therapeutic options in this field. These new surgical techniques have made it possible to resect these tumours totally, with subsequent vertebral reconstruction and spinal stabilization. In this respect, it is important to clearly identify those patients who can benefit from such an extensive surgery. We present our management algorithm to help select patients for surgery and at the same time identifying those for whom primary non-surgical therapy would be indicated. The retrospective review of surgically treated patients in our department in the last four years reveals a meagre application of conventional guidelines for the selection of the appropriate operative approach in the surgical management of these patients. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Background:Mobile health applications are frequently used to increase exercise adherence in patients with musculoskeletal problems. However, the usability of these health mobile applications mostly has not been proven. In our previous study, the usability of the mobile app, which includes postural correction and neck spinal stabilization exercises, has been proven. (M.U-NeckExercise application)Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile application-based home exercise program for patients with chronic neck pain.Methods:60 people with chronic neck pain were participated in the our study. They were randomized into two groups. The first group (n:30) received home exercises via the novel mobile app, and the second group (n:30) received the same home exercises via the brochure. The exercise program consisted of neck and thoracic postural correction and neck spinal stabilization exercises. Participants has been requested to do the exercises 3 days in a week for 6 weeks. Participants’ pain levels were assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), their neck-related functional limitations were evaluated by Neck Pain and Disability Index (BADI). Exercise adherence was meausered with a ratio of total participated sessions compared with the target defined by patient activation monitor and exercise adherance questionnaire. Targeted participation were %60 of total sessions.Results:In both groups, the improvement in VAS and BADI scores was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was found that the pain parameters of VAS score decreased statistically more in the mobile application-based exercise group (p<0.05). While there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the BADI score, the effect size results was higher in the mobile app group (effect size= 0.411). Our exercise commitment target in the mobile app group was an average of 10.5 sessions. The target session number has been reached 11.25 sessions.Conclusion:It has been observed that the mobile application-based exercise program is effective in reducing pain and increasing exercise adherence in people with chronic neck pain. The findings support M.U-NeckExercise-App could be recommended to health professionals for exercise prescription in patients with cronic neck pain.References:[1]Tonga E, Can M, Polat MG (2019). ”SAT0730-HPR development and design of smartphone application for postural alignment of cervical and thoracic spine for young adults.” Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 78,2.[2]Voth, E.

Thirty-four patients aged from 3 to 17 years were operated on for noncomplicated unstable injuries of the spine. The operation was performed within the next few hours or days after trauma in 15 cases and significantly later (in 2 to 6 months) in 19 cases. In the first group the surgery included indirect posterior instrumental reduction and stabilization of the spine. In the second group a two-stage surgery was performed simultaneously. The first stage included anterior decompression and stabilization, and the second – posterior instrumentation. In both groups the posterior fusion with bone autograft was done. The post-op follow-up was 5 years. The correction of deformity, spinal stabilization and pain arrest were achieved in all cases. The surgical treatment of unstable noncomplicated spinal injuries in children must be conducted by emergency indications within the first hours and days after trauma.

A 2-year-old Maltese was presented with wobbly gait of the pelvic limbs. Based on imaging examinations, a diagnosis of congenital malformation at T5–T8 and severe kyphosis causing spinal cord compression at T6–T7 was made. Dorsal laminectomy and stabilization of T6 and T7 vertebrae were performed. As the size of the vertebrae was small and they were severely deformed, novel custom-made titanium implants were used for spinal stabilization. Clinical signs were resolved 2 weeks after surgery. Although radiographic examination 373 days after surgery showed slight loosening of implants, post-operative course remained uneventful. This report describes the use of novel custom-made titanium implants for spinal fixation surgery in a dog.

Neck pain is a very common problem that creates a socio-economic burden. One of the most common causes of neck pain is disc herniation and often causes the pain to become chronic. Factors such as poor posture, long working hours, and psychological stress exacerbate the symptoms related to the cervical region. Surgical nurses are also at high risk for neck pain. Also, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many patients, especially healthcare professionals, cannot access physiotherapy and rehabilitation services both due to their busy work and to reduce the risk of contamination. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of remote spinal stabilization exercises in a patient with chronic neck pain. Pain, disability, kinesophobia, grip strength, and quality of life of a 26-year-old female patient who was an operating room nurse were evaluated. Architectural features of the muscles were evaluated by ultrasonography. 3 days a week, 5 weeks of distance exercise training was given. As a result, it was observed that pain, kinesiophobia, and disability levels decreased, quality of life and grip strength increased in this case. M. Longus Colli thickness was found to be increased. Also, the patient stated that her symptoms were reduced and she was less tired at work. This study is the first to provide remote exercise training for a surgical nurse with chronic neck pain. It is thought that the results of this study will shed light on more comprehensive studies on surgical nurses.
