In 2002, an author group selected and sponsored by the Joint Section on Spine Peripheral Nerves of American Association Neurological Surgeons Congress published first evidence-based guidelines for management patients with acute cervical spinal cord injuries (SCIs).1-23 spirit keeping up changes in information available medical literature that might provide more contemporary robust evidence, another was recruited to revise update guidelines. The review process has been completed is can be...

Abstract It is important to realize that guidelines cannot always account for individual variation among patients. They are not intended supplant physician judgment with respect particular patients or special clinical situations. Infectious Diseases Society of America considers adherence these be voluntary, the ultimate determination regarding their application made by in light each patient's circumstances. Coccidioidomycosis, also known as San Joaquin Valley fever, a systemic infection...

Multiple lines of evidence have validated the Rho pathway as important in controlling neuronal response to growth inhibitory proteins after central nervous system (CNS) injury. A drug called BA-210 (trademarked Cethrin(®)) blocks activation and has shown promise pre-clinical animal studies being used treat spinal cord injury (SCI). This is a report Phase I/IIa clinical study designed test safety tolerability drug, neurological status patients following administration single dose applied...

To study the safety and accuracy of ventriculostomy by neurosurgical trainees.Initial computed tomographic studies 346 consecutive patients who underwent bedside were reviewed retrospectively. Diagnosis, catheter tip location, midline shift, procedural complications tabulated. analyze placement, we used a new grading system: Grade 1, optimal placement in ipsilateral frontal horn or third ventricle; 2, functional contralateral lateral ventricle noneloquent cortex; 3, suboptimal eloquent...

OBJECTIVE Augmented reality (AR) is a novel technology that has the potential to increase technical feasibility, accuracy, and safety of conventional manual robotic computer-navigated pedicle insertion methods. Visual data are directly projected operator’s retina overlaid onto surgical field, thereby removing requirement shift attention remote display. The objective this study was assess comparative accuracy AR-assisted screw in comparison METHODS Five cadaveric male torsos were instrumented...

A porous bioresorbable polymer scaffold has previously been tested in preclinical animal models of spinal cord contusion injury to promote appositional healing, spare white matter, decrease posttraumatic cysts, and normalize intraparenchymal tissue pressure. This is the first report its human implantation a patient during pilot study testing safety feasibility this technique (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02138110).A 25-year-old man had T11-12 fracture dislocation sustained motocross...
