An Expandable Prosthesis with Dual Cage-and-Plate Function in a Single Device...Erwin Chiquete, MD, PhD
Juan J. Ramı´rez, Erwin Chiquete, Juan J. Ramı´rez, Jr., Ernesto Go´mez-Limo´n, and Juan M. Ramı´rez
An expandable vertebral body prosthesis with dual cage-and-plate function in a single
device (JR prosthesis) was designed to test the hypothesis that this modular system can
provide the biomechanical requirements for immediate and durable spine stabilization
after corpectomy. Cadaver assays were performed with a stainless steal device to test fixation
and adequacy to the human spine anatomy. Then, 14 patients with vertebral tumors
(eight metastatic) underwent corpectomy and vertebral body replacement with a titaniummade
JR prosthesis. All patients had neurological deficit, severe pain and spine instability
prior to surgery. Mean pain score before surgery on a visual analog scale decreased from
7.6e3.0 points after operation ( p 5 0.002). All patients achieved at least one grade of
improvement in the Frankel score ( p 5 0.003), excepting the three patients with Frankel
grade A before surgery. Two patients with renal cell carcinoma died during the following
4 days after surgery. The remaining patients attained a painless and stable spine immediately,
which was maintained for long periods (mean follow-up: 25.4 months). No significant
infections or implant failures were registered. A nonfatal case of inferior vena cava
surgical injury was observed (repaired during surgery without further complications). In
conclusion, the JR prosthesis stabilizes the spine immediately after surgery and for the
rest of the patients’ life. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the clinical experience
of any expandable vertebral body prosthesis with dual cage-and-plate function in
a single device.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
