In Brief Study Design. Retrospective, multicenter study of robotically-guided spinal implant insertions. Clinical acceptance the implants was assessed by intraoperative radiograph, and when available, postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were used to determine placement accuracy. Objective. To verify clinical accuracy compare those unguided free-hand procedures. Summary Background Data. SpineAssist surgical robot has been guide guide-wires predefined locations in spine. which, best...
Single-center prospective randomized controlled study.To evaluate the accuracy of robot-assisted (RO) implantation lumbar/sacral pedicle screws in comparison with freehand (FH) conventional technique.SpineAssist is a miniature robot for thoracic, lumbar, and sacral screws. The system, studied cadaver cohort studies, revealed high accuracy, so far. A direct assistance FH technique missing.Patients requiring mono- or bisegmental lumbar lumbosacral stabilization were 1:1 ratio to RO screw...
The association between hearing impairment and cognitive decline has been established; however, the effect of cochlear implantation on cognition in profoundly deaf elderly patients is not known.To analyze relationship function restoration with a implant patients.Prospective longitudinal study performed 10 tertiary referral centers September 1, 2006, June 30, 2009. participants included 94 aged 65 to 85 years profound, postlingual loss who were evaluated before, 6 months after, 12 after...
BACKGROUND: Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used in presurgical brain mapping. Preoperative nTMS results correlate well with direct cortical (DCS) data the identification of primary motor cortex. Repetitive can also be for mapping speech-sensitive areas. OBJECTIVE: The current cohort study compares safety and effectiveness preoperative DCS during awake surgery language areas patients left-sided cerebral lesions. METHODS: Twenty tumors or close to eloquent...
While standards for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastomas exist, therapeutic regimens tumor recurrence remain mostly individualized. The role a surgical resection recurrent remains largely unclear at present. This study aimed to assess effect repeated on patient survival. In multicenter retrospective-design study, patients with primary undergoing repeat resections tumors were evaluated factors affecting Age, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), extent (EOR), location, and...
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a newly evolving technique. Despite its supposed purpose (for example, preoperative central region mapping), little known about accuracy compared with established modalities like direct cortical (DCS) and functional MR (fMR) imaging. Against this background, the authors performed current study to compare of nTMS DCS fMR imaging.Fourteen patients tumors in or close precentral gyrus were examined using for motor cortex mapping, as 12...
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an emerging treatment for patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH). We report on a prospective series of 56 consecutive who underwent 266 BPA interventions (median, five per patient) at two German institutions. All comprehensive diagnostic work-up including right heart catheterisation baseline and 24 weeks after their last intervention. resulted in improvements WHO functional class, 6 min walk distance (mean change, +33 m),...
After aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, the use of lumbar drains has been suggested to decrease incidence delayed cerebral ischemia and improve long-term outcome.To determine effectiveness early cerebrospinal fluid drainage added standard care in patients after hemorrhage.The EARLYDRAIN trial was a pragmatic, multicenter, parallel-group, open-label randomized clinical with blinded end point evaluation conducted at 19 centers Germany, Switzerland, Canada. The first patient entered January...
Abstract Background and Aims What is the relationship between blood tests for iron deficiency, including anaemia, response to intravenous in patients with heart failure? Methods In IRONMAN trial, 1137 failure, ejection fraction ≤ 45%, either serum ferritin < 100 µg/L or transferrin saturation (TSAT) 20% were randomized ferric derisomaltose (FDI) usual care. Relationships investigated baseline anaemia severity, TSAT, changes haemoglobin from 4 months, Minnesota Living Heart Failure...
Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the safety and tolerability novel endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist clazosentan in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) its potential reduce incidence severity cerebral vasospasm following surgical clipping aneurysm. Methods This Phase IIa multicenter had two parts: a double-blind, randomized Part (some given [0.2 mg/kg/hr] others placebo), which statistical inference performed, an open-label B (patients established [0.4...
Abstract OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the feasibility and safety of percutaneous posterior pedicle screw fixation for instabilities thoracic lumbar spine, using standard instruments designed open approach fluoroscopy. METHODS: All patients who underwent spine were studied retrospectively. Charts operative notes analyzed epidemiological data, underlying spinal pathological features, indications stabilization, stabilized segments, number implanted screws, surgical time, complications....
A prospective randomized study.To compare occupational radiation exposure to the surgeon, as well patient, during posterior lumbar spine instrumentation in 10 navigated cases (navigated) versus 11 using freehand technique (non-navigated).The use of navigation increases accuracy instrumentation.A further speculated benefit is reduction surgeon. However, this has so far not been evaluated such comparative manner.Radiation surgeon was measured by digital dosimeters placed at level eye, chest,...
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has been proven to influence surgical indication and planning. Yet there is still no clear evidence how these additional preoperative functional data the clinical course outcome. Thus, this study aimed compare patients with motor eloquently located supratentorial lesions investigated or without nTMS in terms of outcome parameters. A prospectively enrolled cohort 100 eloquent areas was by (2010–2013) matched a control who were operated on...
