Abstract Background Ambient air pollution is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet uncertainty remains about the size of risks at lower levels fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure which now occur in USA and elsewhere. Methods We investigated relationship ambient PM2.5 with cause-specific disease mortality 565 477 men women, aged 50 to 71 years, from National Institutes Health-AARP Diet Health Study. During 7.5 x 106 person-years follow up, 41 286 deaths, including 23...
✓ Despite the fact that gout is a common metabolic disorder, because its involvement of axial skeleton rare diagnosis often delayed, even in patients with long-standing who present neurological deficits. The authors report case woman history extensive gout, emphasizing clinical, radiological, and pathological features lumbar spinal stenosis.
Over the last several years minimally invasive surgical approaches to sella turcica and parasellar regions have undergone significant change. The transsphenoidal approach this region has evolved from a sublabial transnasal, pure endonasal with increasing popularity of endoscopic over microscopic techniques. Endoscopic techniques individually or in combination their own unique advantages, preference one other awaits further technological refinements experience. In parallel evolution for...
✓ Chordoma is a locally invasive tumor of low metastatic potential. Only six cases chordoma that metastasized to the brain are found in English literature. Most these lesions were clinically silent and all associated with extraneural metastases. The authors report case symptomatic metastasis from sacrococcygeal absence other incidence, sites, factors predictive discussed.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is usually diagnosed in older adults (the median age of diagnosis 64 years). Although less common patients younger than 45 years, RCCs young differ clinical manifestation, pathologic diagnosis, and prognosis. are typically smaller, more organ confined, manifest at lower stages disease. The proportion clear RCC adults, while the prevalence familial renal neoplastic syndromes much higher, genetic testing routinely recommended. In such syndromic manifestations,...
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability; the leading mortality morbidity in previously healthy people aged under 40 United Kingdom (UK). There are currently little official Irish statistics regarding TBI or outcome measures following TBI, although it estimated that over 2000 per year sustain Ireland. We performed retrospective cohort study patients who were managed intensive care unit (ICU) at CUH between July 2012 December 2015. Demographic data compiled by...
Object. Neuroendoscopists often note pulsatility or flabbiness of the floor third ventricle during endoscopic ventriculostomy (ETV) and believe that either is a good indication procedure's success. Note, however, this belief has never been objectively measured proven in prospective study. The authors report on simple test—the hydrostatic test—to assess mobility confirm adequate ventricular flow. They also analyzed relationship between mobile (a positive test) success ETV. Methods. During...
Study Design: Retrospective review of the practice 3 surgeons in a single centre during 1-year period.Objective: We aimed to investigate our adherence Society British Neurological Surgeons (SBNS) guidelines regarding intra-operative imaging lumbar surgery and determine if this has any impact on length or complications rates, particular rates wrong-level surgery.Background: The SBNS recommends three x-rays for spinal localisation – one prior incision, second after exposure laminae before...
Peri-operative elevated serum lactate could be a sign of high risk morbidity among affected patients. However, this finding can self-limiting and with no consequences in some conditions.We present case transient level 33 year old man that underwent cranial meningioma resection. The patient had an elevation levels peri-operatively, spontaneous gradual decline the five hours post-operatively. otherwise uncomplicated post-operative course was discharged home on fifth day.Elevation during large...

Lumbar microdiscectomy is one of the most frequently performed neurosurgical procedures. In this review, we ask why patients' outcomes vary so widely even within same unit, with surgeon performing procedure and utilizing technique?In a cohort 87 patients, investigated how/whether multiple patient variables impacted following single-level lumbar microdiscectomy. We studied whether early surgical intervention improved quality life (QOL) versus late intervention. Furthermore, assessed other...
Background: Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare but well-known emergency surgical condition. CES occurs when there compression of nerve roots in lower end spinal cord. Although cases have been described recent years, psoas abscess remains very cause CES. We report unique case secondary to our centre.
Introduction: Paragangliomas (PGs) are extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumors that extremely rare. Multiple lesions in the central nervous system raise suspicion of a metastatic process. Lack consensus on their distinction and management warrants categorization existing literature to evaluate options.
