Spinal myxopapillary ependymomas (MPEs) are slowly growing ependymal gliomas with preferential manifestation in young adults. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome patients MPE treated surgery, radiotherapy (RT), and/or chemotherapy. medical records 183 (male: 59%) at MD Anderson Cancer Center and 11 institutions from Rare Network were retrospectively reviewed. Mean patient' age diagnosis 35.5 ± 15.8 years. Ninety-seven (53.0%) underwent surgery without RT, 86 (47.0%) RT. Median RT...

To compare morphological gross tumor volumes (GTVs), defined as pre- and postoperative gadolinium enhancement on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to biological (BTVs), by the uptake of 18F fluoroethyltyrosine (FET) for radiotherapy planning high-grade glioma, using a dedicated positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scanner equipped with three triangulation lasers patient positioning. Nineteen patients malignant glioma were included into prospective protocol FET PET-CT planning. be...
: Patient safety is an activity to mitigate preventable patient harm that may occur during the delivery of medical care. The European Board Anaesthesiology (EBA)/European Union Medical Specialists had previously published recommendations on minimal monitoring and postanaesthesia care, but with growing public professional interest it was decided produce a much more encompassing document. EBA Society (ESA) consensus what needs be done/achieved for improvement peri-operative safety. During...
To compare users' speed, number of entry errors and satisfaction in using two current devices for electronic data collection clinical research: handheld laptop computers.The authors performed a randomized cross-over trial 160 different paper-based questionnaires representing altogether 45,440 variables. Four coders were instructed to record, according random predefined equally balanced sequence, the content these either on or computer. Instructions kind device be used provided data-coders...
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs in 1-7% of women following childbirth. While having a caesarean section (C-section) is known to be significant risk factor for postpartum PTSD, it currently unknown whether coexisting anaesthesia-related factors are also associated the disorder. The aim this study was assess anaesthesia-linked development acute PTSD.We performed prospective cohort on C-section tertiary hospital Switzerland. Patients were followed up six weeks postpartum. Patient...
This adult cohort determined the incidence and patients' short-term outcomes of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) in Switzerland age-related differences. A prospective study with a follow-up at 14 days was performed. Patients ≥16 years age sustaining sTBI admitted to 1 11 trauma centers were included. defined by an Abbreviated Injury Scale head (HAIS) score >3. The participated from 6 months 3 years. results are presented as percentages, medians, interquartile ranges (IQRs). Subgroup...
Abstract Background Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health concern and major burden for society. The period between trauma event hospital admission in an emergency department (ED) could be determinant secondary early survival. aim was to investigate the relationship prehospital factors associated with (arterial hypotension, hypoxemia, hypothermia) outcomes of mortality impaired consciousness survivors at 14 days. Methods A multicenter, prospective cohort study performed...
Abstract Background The Evaluation of Nitrous oxide in the Gas Mixture for Anesthesia II trial randomly assigned 7,112 noncardiac surgery patients to a nitrous or oxide–free anesthetic; severe postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was prespecified secondary end point. Thus, authors evaluated association between oxide, PONV, effectiveness PONV prophylaxis this setting. Methods Univariate multivariate analyses patient, surgical, other perioperative characteristics were used identify risk...
Background An unplanned admission to the intensive care unit within 24 h of a procedure (UIA) is recommended clinical indicator in surgical patients. Often regarded as surrogate marker adverse events, it has potential direct measure patient safety. Its true validity for such use currently unknown. Methods The authors validated UIA an safety patients prospective cohort study 44,130 admitted their hospital. They assessed association with intraoperative incidents and near misses, increased...
Summary Intra‐operative awareness in paediatric patients has been little studied for many years because of the difficulties relying on children's testimony. Earlier questionnaires used to detect this complication were not adapted language and memory capacities. By using a qualitative method, semi‐structured in‐depth interview their cognitive abilities, we have now conducted prospective evaluation incidence risk factors intra‐operative children undergoing general anaesthesia. Data obtained...
