This study describes the implementation of a multimodal, multidisciplinary, evidence-based ERAS program in oncologic spine surgery, identifies and measures several relevant postoperative recovery outcomes, demonstrates feasibility potential benefit improving analgesia decreasing opioid consumption. The underscores importance defining capturing meaningful, patient-specific, patient-reported constant evaluation monitoring group's compliance with program. represents steppingstone for...
Abstract Chemical looping dry reforming (CLDR) is a novel, intensified route for CO 2 activation. Two nanostructured carriers (Fe‐BHA and Fe@SiO ) are synthesized, characterized, evaluated with regard to activity stability in thermogravimetric fixed‐bed CLDR reactor studies over temperature range of ~500–800 °C. Fe‐barium hexaaluminate (Fe‐BHA) shows fast redox kinetics stable operation multiple cycles, while exhibits poor generation due partial loss the core‐shell structure formation...
BACKGROUND: Although surgery followed by radiation effectively treats metastatic epidural compression, the ideal surgical approach should enable fast recovery and rapid institution of systemic therapy directed at primary tumor. OBJECTIVE: To assess spinal laser interstitial thermotherapy (SLITT) as an alternative to monitored in real time thermal magnetic resonance (MR) images. METHODS: Patients referred for metastasis without motor deficits underwent MR-guided SLITT, stereotactic...
Background: Tumors infiltrating the precentral gyrus remain a unique operative challenge. In this study, we explored novel approach for awake craniotomy involving patient playing drum pad during resection of low-grade glioma, with use preoperative navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS)-generated diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and high-density real-time electrocorticography (ECoG). Observation: A 36-year-old left-handed male glioma in left hemisphere hand knob region had grand mal...
It is well known that motor cortical oscillatory components are modulated in their amplitude during voluntary and imagined movements. These patterns have been used to develop brain-machine interfaces (BMI) which focused mostly on movement kinematics. In contrast, there only a few studies the relation between brain activity control of force, particular, grasping primary importance for common daily activities. this study, we recorded intraoperative high-density electrocorticography (ECoG) from...
Several studies have examined the association between hyperglycemia in first 10 to 12 weeks following surgery and postoperative survival glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. We hypothesize that episodes of before, during and/or for primary GBM are independent predictors disease progression mortality.A total 162 adult patients were included analysis. All received adjuvant temozolamide. The free (PFS) overall (OS) rates at 1 5 years analyzed using different glycemic cutoff values....
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication and associated with increased hospital length of stay 30 day all-cause mortality. Unfortunately, we have neither defined strategy to prevent AKI nor an effective treatment. In vitro, animal, human studies suggested that dexmedetomidine may renoprotective effect. We conducted retrospective cohort study evaluate if intraoperative was reduced incidence AKI.We collected data from 6625 patients who underwent major non-cardiothoracic...
Objective.Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) recorded with electrocorticography (ECoG) for central sulcus (CS) identification is a widely accepted procedure in routine intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. Clinical practices test the short-latency SSEPs phase reversal over strip electrodes. However, assessments based on waveform morphology are susceptible to variations interpretations due hand area's localized nature and usually require multiple electrode placements or...
Pain during and after transsphenoidal surgeries originates from stimulation of branches the trigeminal cranial nerve that supply inner aspect nose cavity dura mater. Thereby, patients undergoing surgery may require moderate-to-large amounts analgesics including opioids. Intravenous acetaminophen provides analgesia reduces opioid consumption for a wide variety surgeries. We hypothesized use intravenous is associated with reduction in intraoperative significant surgery.This retrospective study...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Accurately mapping sensorimotor regions is crucial for preserving motor and sensory functions in the treatment of gliomas located peri-Rolandic areas brain. OBJECTIVE We examined use high-density electrocorticography (ECoG) passive treating by analyzing spatial-temporal spectral features real-time somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), their patterns differentiating states consciousness. METHODS During surgery, SSEPs were recorded using ECoG on fourteen patients...
The rapidly acting opioid fentanyl commonly used in the perioperative setting, has traditionally been packaged 100 or 250-μg vials. In September 2021, our institution implemented a change from 100-μg vials to 50-μg preloaded syringes operating rooms. objective of this study was aimed at assessing association product on reducing medication waste and amount administered during surgery.
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Breast MRI (bMRI) has become a standard of care (SOC) modality for both screening and diagnostic work-up breast disease (1-2). Despite availability larger bores, claustrophobia remains the most common reason patients declining (3). Anesthesia service can offer sedation during improving patients’ acceptance. However, unlike routine MRI, bMRI is performed with patient positioned prone. Our anesthesiologists observed expectation receiving general anesthesia, without...
Abstract OBJECTIVE Cortical mapping during tumor resection is critical to reducing the risk of neurological complications. While somatosensory evoked potential (SSEPs) widely employed delineate central sulcus, response can be misconstrued from manual peak interpretation. This due poor spatial resolution strip electrode as well a result edema or infiltration overlying cortex. We present real-time computer-based visualization system that uses recorded SSEPs with subdural grid aid in cortical...
