Repurposing 5-Azacytidine for the Treatment of Muscle Contractures in Children With Cerebral Palsy
In this controlled dose-escalation study, we will study the initial safety, biological properties, and potential efficacy of 5-azacytidine (AZA). Our overarching aspiration is for AZA to evolve into an approved pharmacological treatment, fostering muscle growth and enhancing body movement, ultimately contributing to an improved quality of life in children with CP. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the optimal dose of AZA injection that can be used safely in children with CP? 2.

Retro Comparison of Subsidence Following Interbody Devices in Lumbar Spine
The objective of this retrospective study is an investigational clinical follow-up, of patients treated with interbody fusion devices (IBFD), both expandable (EXP) and static (STC), according to their intended use and cleared labeling to understand IBFD design and technique characteristics that affect occurrence rates of subsidence. Patients treated with IBFD's (both EXP and STC) according to their intended use and cleared labeling 1. EXP IBFD's that expand in width and height demonstrate reduced occurrence of subsidence post-operatively when compared to EXP IBFD's that expand in height only and STC IBFD's. 2. EXP IBFD's that are comprised of multi-material...
