Background: ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence technology, has the potential to be a useful patient aid, though accuracy and appropriateness of its responses recommendations on common hand surgical pathologies procedures must understood. Comparing sources referenced characteristics from ChatGPT established search engine (Google) carpal tunnel surgery will allow for understanding utility education. Methods: A Google “carpal release surgery” was performed “frequently asked questions (FAQs)”...
Background: Worldwide, neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years lost and second death. Despite global health capacity-building efforts, each year, 22.6 million individuals worldwide require neurosurgeon's care due to diseases such as traumatic brain injury hydrocephalus, 13.8 these surgery. It is clear that neurosurgical indispensable in both national international public discussions. This study highlights role neurosurgeons can play supporting agenda,...
Abstract Objective To evaluate alterations in apparent axon diameter and density obtained by high‐gradient diffusion MRI the corpus callosum of MS patients relationship these advanced metrics to neurologic disability cognitive impairment MS. Methods Thirty people with (23 relapsing‐remitting [RRMS], 7 progressive [PMS]) 23 healthy controls were scanned on a human 3‐tesla (3T) scanner equipped 300 mT/m maximum gradient strength using comprehensive multishell protocol. Data fitted...
Case: We present the case of a 15-year-old adolescent boy with recurrent metastatic osteosarcoma to ilium and describe surgical technique iliac wing wide resection allograft reconstruction using custom 3D-printed cutting guide that accounts for complex anatomy by enabling nonlinear osteotomies. Conclusion: Use resect circumferential focus allows targeted lesion removal less morbidity than unguided resection. Importantly, this novel improves ease resecting cylindrical bone segment.
Half of the 35.3 million refugees worldwide are women and a third childbearing age, making reproductive healthcare in humanitarian settings indispensable. Caesarean section (CS) is most common operation worldwide, accounting for 18.6% births. This study provides descriptive analysis caesarean sections protracted refugee setting. retrospective review CS recorded logbooks between November 2000 September 2020, inclusive. Data was abstracted from paper included date, nationality, sex,...
The 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a practical tool that can be used to estimate by measuring five accessible factors: functional status, history of diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. authors aimed validate the utility mFI-5 for predicting endovascular microsurgical treatment outcomes in patients with unruptured aneurysms.A prospectively maintained database consecutive aneurysm who were treated clip placement or therapy...
Abstract BACKGROUND Given increasing life expectancy in the United States and worldwide, proportion of elderly patients affected by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) would be expected to increase. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an aging trend exists population aSAH presenting our institution over a 28-yr period. METHODS A prospectively maintained database consecutive with between January 1991 December 2018 was utilized. The period categorized into 4 successive 7-yr quarter intervals....
There are 80 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, 26.3 of whom refugees. Many refugees live in camps and have complex health needs, including a high burden non-communicable disease. It is estimated that 3 procedures needed for yet very few studies exist on surgery refugee camps, particularly protracted settings. This study utilizes 20-year dataset, the longest dataset setting to be published date, assess surgical output displacement.A retrospective review surgeries performed...
Although recurrence and de novo formation of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have been reported following complete resection, the occurrence hemorrhage in same location an AVM with no detectable lesion (lesion-negative hemorrhage) has not described after microsurgery.To characterize incidence properties lesion-negative microsurgical resection.A prospectively maintained registry patients seen at our institution between 1990 2017 was used. Microsurgically treated were selected, a calculated...
Compartment syndrome (CS) is an orthopaedic emergency that can result in vascular and neurologic compromise necrosis due to increased pressure anatomic compartment, commonly the lower leg or forearm. The purpose of this case series study was demonstrate CS a rare but serious complication for which physicians should have low threshold suspicion after transradial access procedures. We present five patients who underwent fasciotomy upper extremity setting recent at large, busy, tertiary...
There are 103 million displaced people worldwide, 41% of whom children. Data on the provision surgery in humanitarian settings limited.

METHODS: Design : Retrospective cohort Setting: Two academic Level I trauma centers Patient Selection Criteria: Adults age ≥18 years who underwent (OTA/AO 42) fixation from 2014-2022 had a minimum 3-months postoperative follow-up were included. Patients considered users if they current self-reported or urine toxicology screen...
Abstract Background While current estimates suggest that up to three million additional surgical procedures are needed meet the needs of forcibly displaced populations, literature on care for refugee or forced migrant populations has often focused acute phase and war-related trauma violence with insufficient attention non-war related pathologies. To our knowledge, no study compared versus host population utilization services in a camp-based hospital over such an extended period twenty years....
