An understanding of global, regional, and national macroeconomic losses caused by stroke is important for allocation clinical research resources. The authors investigated the consequences disease burden in year 2019 173 countries.
Surgical intervention is a cornerstone of adult spinal deformity (ASD) management. However, there remain burdens from complications including proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and failure (PJF). Posterior anatomical preservation at the uppermost instrumented vertebra (UIV) has emerged as an accessible approach to potentially reduce PJK/PJF risk. We assembled institutional cohort ASD patients evaluated between 2017-2022 who had fusion performed with modified subperiosteal dissection...
Standardized estimates of global economic losses from burn injuries are lacking. The primary objective this study was to determine the macroeconomic consequences and their geographic distribution.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has approved 117 neurological surgery residency programs which develop and educate neurosurgical trainees. We present the current landscape of training in United States by examining multiple aspects residencies 2022–2023 academic year investigate impact program structure on resident productivity. METHODS: Demographic data were collected from publicly available websites reports National Resident Match Program....
OBJECTIVE Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are intermittent high-amplitude electrical signals that occur between seizures. They have been shown to propagate through the brain as traveling waves when recorded with epicortical grid–type electrodes and small penetrating microelectrode arrays. However, little work has done translate experimental IED analyses more clinically relevant platforms such stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). In this pilot study, authors aimed define a...
OBJECTIVE Country-by-country estimates of the macroeconomic disease burden central nervous system (CNS) cancers are important when determining allocation resources related to neuro-oncology. Accordingly, in this study authors investigated losses CNS cancer 173 countries and identified pertinent epidemiological trends. METHODS Data for incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were collected from Global Burden Disease 2019 database. Gross domestic product data combined with...
Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers serve as a unique training environment for US residency programs. In this study, we aim to explore the scope and details of VA integration into neurosurgery resident training. We used data from Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education database provide an overview programs with active affiliation developed multi-institutional survey gather information related rotation design, operative volume, expectations, core values. Of 116 programs, 40 have...
Abstract Background The landscape of glioma research has evolved in the past 20 years to include numerous large, multi-institutional, database efforts compiling either clinical data on patients, molecular specimens, or a combination both. While these strategies can provide wealth information for research, obtaining regarding availability and access specifications be challenging. Methods We reviewed literature ongoing clinical, molecular, combined related researchers with curated overview...
Background: Despite the high prevalence and morbidities associated with interpersonal violence (IPV), its estimated costs vary widely, studies primarily focusing on data from high-income countries. This study aims to determine incidence mortality rates attributable IPV quantify global macroeconomic cost of IPV.Methods: The Global Burden Disease reported by Institute Health Metrics Evaluation was collected for years 2009 2019 173 countries, categorized into 21 regions. Incidence were...
To the Editor: We value perspective outlined in Still's Letter to Editor1 regarding our recent article2 and concur with many of concerns raised a volume-based approach quantifying resident "academic productivity." It is for this reason that we selected index by Khan et al3 as primary measure productivity study. This comprises"the h-index divided number years since author's first publication during residency" which then multiplied weighted average resident's authorship number. While still...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA) Medical Centers play a crucial role in training neurosurgery residents. Although previous studies have examined the impact VA rotations from attending perspective, resident experience remains unexplored. We present national survey residents to assess their perceptions rotations, focusing on operative experience, call burden, longitudinal patient care experiences, and overall strengths limitations. METHODS: A 33-question was...
The restoration of sufficient overall lumbar lordosis (LL) and segmental LL (SL) is associated with achieving optimal sagittal balance, decreasing back pain, enhancing functional outcomes for patients. Expandable cages were developed in hopes improving radiographic parameters clinical outcomes, although current evidence inconclusive. Here, the authors aimed to evaluate patients undergoing one- or two-level open transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF) expandable versus static cage placement,...
Background Expandable interbody cages, while popular in minimally invasive fusions due to their slim profile and increased ease of insertion, have not been widely explored open surgery. The benefits expandable cages may also extend through potential achieve a greater restoration lumbar lordosis minimizing intraoperative complications. To highlight these benefits, we present case series adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients treated with an transforaminal fusion (TLIF) using compare outcomes...
Commercially available lead localization software for deep brain stimulation (DBS) often relies on postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans to define electrode positions. When cases are performed with intraoperative MRI, another imaging set exists which perform these localizations. To compare DBS error between CT and MRI.A retrospective cohort of patients who underwent MRI-guided placement electrodes using the ClearPoint platform was identified. Using Brainlab Elements, were coregistered...
INTRODUCTION: The neurosurgical sub-internship is a crucial step for prospective neurosurgeons. However, the expectations sub-interns, particularly technical skills required by residents and attendings, are often unclear. Neurosurgical skills-based workshops have been recently applied to medical students. METHODS: A one-day craniotomy lab using cadaveric cranial specimens was conducted Surveys querying important competencies sub-internships were answered attendings at affiliated hospitals....
