https://www.selleckchem.com/products/PHA-665752.html Teriflunomide is an oral disease modifying therapy for patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. It is moderately effective while having a favourable safety profile with liver toxicity being the major concern. We present a series of three patients who developed pulmonary embolism within two years of initiation of teriflunomide treatment. They had stable multiple sclerosis with low level of disability, with immobility presenting a negligible risk for the development of pulmonary embolism. The estimated prevalence of pulmonary embolism in our cohort is 2.8%. Thus, we believe additional attention to the general risk factors for PE is warranted before teriflunomide is introduced to patients with multiple sclerosis. To describe the results of a single-surgeon series and systematically review the literature on cement-augmented instrumented fusion with fenestrated pedicle screws. All patients treated by the senior surgeon using fenestrated screws between 2017 and 2019 with a minimum of 6-months of clinical and radiographic follow-up were included. For the systematic review, we used PRISMA guidelines to identify all prior descriptions of cement-augmented instrumented fusion with fenestrated pedicle screws in the English literature. Endpoints of interest included hardware loosening, cement leakage, and pulmonary cement embolism (PCE). Our series included 38 patients (mean follow-up 14.8 months) who underwent cement-augmented instrumentation for tumor (47.3%), deformity/degenerative disease (39.5%), or osteoporotic fracture (13.2%). Asymptomatic screw lucency was seen in 2.6%, cement leakage in 445, and pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) in 5.2%. Our literature review identified 23 studies (n=1526 patients), with low reported rates of hardware loosening (0.2%) and symptomatic PCE (1.0%). Cement leakage, while common (55.6%), produced symptoms in fewer than 1% of patients. Indications for cement-augmentation in this
